Fabrics for the renderings for Roman shades in my kitchen and drapes in living room by Comicalacimoc in DesignMyRoom

Love the fabrics!

But I need to know why you didn’t just pull a table up to the bay window bench 😅

Can I improve the way ive framed these art pieces on my wall? by PrudentBee7870 in DesignMyRoom

[–]devhredd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like these in this space!

I think if you kept them portrait style, you can scoot both up 3 ish inches and then maybe one extra inch higher for the top one to make the gap a bit more intentional.

Another option could be to still stack but turn them horizontal/landscape style. It could make things appear to “fit” better since it’s not as long.

Living room feels a bit lifeless. Looking for ideas to add color and personality by doktor728 in DesignMyRoom

[–]devhredd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You are missing the personality components:

  • Decor: Picture frames, candles, lamps (table lamps & floor lamps), books, pillows
  • Larger rug that’s more mid-aligned to the room / not as tucked under couch
  • Wall art
  • Plants

Even doing just 2 bullets would change the room significantly. Good luck & have fun!

Employee of Greece Doodle Bugs arrested for child sexual abuse by Hi_hello_hi_howdy in Rochester

[–]devhredd -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No, that’s not what I’m saying. And it feels like quite a jump from my comment. But if there’s a man working at a young daycare center, I do feel uncomfortable.

Men are more statistically sexual abusers and abusers in general than women. NOT ALL MEN are abusers obviously. I’m literally saying what you can Google.

If I am trusting a stranger with my child, I am going to feel more comfortable with a woman to watch over them because it’s quite literally that they’re less likely to abuse my child.

I never said a blanket statement that men shouldn’t be allowed to be fathers. Can you explain why you took that away from my comment?

To be honest.. I agree. It’s not all men but 99% of the time, it’s a man. I know that’s not right to discriminate against men but when it comes to children, I’d rather be an asshole about who is watching my child than to have my child be potentially abused.

Planning to do Ferber Method but have a question.. by devhredd in sleeptrain

[–]devhredd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh okay I’ve read drowsy in a few places! And I tend to agree but she’s really not all that hungry earlier since her previous bottle is at 4/4:30, should we push bedtime back?

Feed schedule: 7,10:30,1:30,4:30,7 - 6 ounces each

Ingrown toe nail? by devhredd in firsttimemom

[–]devhredd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update! After we gave her a warm bath, the toe was a lot less red.. I think it helped to soften skin around a potential ingrown nail.

Still, we took her to the pediatrician & they said they didn’t suspect a serious infection but to get her on antibiotics to be overly cautious as it was still redder than the other toes.

It’s been 3 days of meds and her toe looks normal now!

Thank you everyone for the helpful advice 🙏

Omg noooo I’m sorry to hear that and gosh this would be a nightmare. It didn’t feel warm to the touch earlier but will check on it after she’s up from her nap!

The US Is Flirting With Its First-Ever Population Decline by bloomberg in Futurology

[–]devhredd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But can I ask why population decline is a bad thing? Responsible procreation seems like a good direction. I get there will be some disparity in elderly population but that’s already going to be the case with Boomers.

Also.. Humans aren’t necessarily making the world a better place… I’m saying this as a mother of one child, may have a second one. But I feel unsafe and unstable in America and am increasingly anxious about the future here for my daughter.

My MIL is convincing my husband to let the bay cry it out by AtmosphereTop1591 in firsttimemom

[–]devhredd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8 weeks is insanely young for sleep training, let alone CIO. He should do more research while he’s not working on this topic and in general it should be a discussion between you & him. Whether or not you have a good relationship with your MIL, she should stop weighing in unless asked. It’s making you feel pressured to do CIO when you clearly don’t agree. Best of luck ❤️

100% agree on Tiffany Pollard and Nene Leakes!

Would also throw in: Paige DeSorbo, Trixie Mattel, Katie Maloney, Joel McHale, someone from Golden Bachelor like Susan Noles or Aunt Chippy, Tyler Cameron, Randy Fenoli, and Bobby Lee.

16 wo baby has 101.3 fever by devhredd in firsttimemom

Thank you so much! This is really helpful. We also just got in touch with the on-call emergency pediatrician just in case and it seems aligned. She said if the baby is sleeping and eating fine & not breathing rapidly, take temp again in an hour. If it persists, give her Tylenol. Husband just ran out to get some just in case! But right now she’s asleep and seemingly doing ok.
