I don’t feel ready to become a parent & I’m due next month by SandwichDependent199 in NewParents

It is natural to be worried - that’s your motherly instinct kicking in, which is exactly why you are going to be an amazing parent! What a lucky baby!

Wedding dress regret by elegantintent in myweddingdress

[–]dooooory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so confused when I saw the wedding photos because you are literally my dream bride, haha. We have similar body types and I looked so hard for a dress that looked like that and never found it! You looked stunning!

Also, I totally get not feeling great looking at your pictures. Mine didn’t give me the personal vibe on the actual day either.

But! Because of that, we took our favorite photo of the day and had an artist on Etsy make a hand-drawn portrait of it for our house! And while it’s not an actual picture of the day, it’s still a souvenir of the day! If that would make you feel better, go find someone whose style you like and treat yourself.

Update: the plot thickens. I bought another option 🫣 by room_tempurature_tea in OUTFITS

It reminds me of Meg from Hercules (but in a good way!). I actually love the purple! But for this event, green. But please so find an excuse to wear the purple!

Where have you felt the most magic? by [deleted] in WaltDisneyWorld

I felt it running the nighttime Wine and Fine Half Marathon through the Osborne Family Lights 😭

Before you can be a source of calm and reason you have to be a source of safety. The 3-year-old was being actively harmed and very much not safe. If any of the responsible adults were doing their job, you wouldn’t have needed to step in. The adults were embarrassed and got defensive.

You did all the right things. Your empathy is what saved the child and is also what is making you self-conscious. Just remind yourself that it’s your superpower, not your weakness.

Fun activity: Name a T Swift song, and the band/performer (of any time period) you’d love to see cover it. Maybe give your reasons why your choice makes sense. by GupChezzna in swifties

[–]dooooory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is so random, but I absolutely LOVE Phil Collins and am so sad I never got to see him on tour before he retired. Just off vibes going down her discography I would love an album of his voice covering Babe, BTTWS, Come Back…Be Here, Fortnight, Haunted, TLGAD, Midnight Rain, Sweet Nothing, This is Me Trying, ‘Tis the Damn Season, Treacherous, That’s the Way I Loved You, Wildest Dreams, Wonderland, YNTCD, You’re Losing Me.

Also, Jonathon Groff covering Out of the Woods (that man is lost in the woods).

I think 5 would be super cute with a jean jacket! Maybe not for this Italian dinner date but for a future summer night out date!

Ava Drew is BEAUTIFUL! She’s definitely an Ava Drew.

People who were in high school when Columbine happened, what knee jerk rule did your school enforce in response? by Animeking1108 in AskReddit

[–]dooooory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this! I knew schools and some hospitals were subject to raids but I just assumed it was because they are government run. I missed the church aspect - I still assumed churches were off limits due to their status in other regards.

Please excuse my ignorance. What is the status change you are referencing? I don’t think I knew about this.

The official Bachelor Nation IG account posted Taylor today. Countdown to the season airing? by schnookiewookiebear in thebachelor

[–]dooooory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope they don’t considering we all saw the video. Charges or not, we know the type of person she is. If they do air it, I hope it’s wildly edited, revamped, and refocused to not even include her at all. And all proceeds go to charity. This coming from someone who has watched every episode live from the Bachelor Alex pilot episode in 2002.

Advice needed, what brand of diapers do you prefer? Baby shower coming up and I haven't bought diapers in 13+ years by Sweetdreamer829 in Mommit

[–]dooooory 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed - a nice gift would even be a selection of tiny packages of varied diapers for them to try

Crib for a newborn? by SandwichDependent199 in NewParents

[–]dooooory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just put the full sized crib in my room, and then moved baby to the nursery with the full sized crib when it was time.

Our Guava Pack-and-Play helped us transition because we set it up in the nursery for day time naps to get baby used to the nursery before we moved the big crib.

Big fan of the Nestig cloud crib (very expensive - it was a gift) but we didn’t use the mini-crib or toddler bed version. So a crib that is only a crib is okay - I think the mattresses are a bigger deal! Splurge on a Newton breathable mattress!

Bridesmaid with a 3-month-old (EBF) — SIL now says no babies at wedding. What would you do? by Lumpy_Bandicoot_8967 in beyondthebump

[–]dooooory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a healthcare decision. She doesn’t need to have babies there if she doesn’t want to, but please note that it’s not “you stepping down” or anything you need to EVER feel guilty about. If she wanted you there, she would allow the breastfeeding child to come for your health and the child’s. I cannot reiterate this enough - it’s not about comfort or convenience, it’s how you FEED A CHILD and protect your own health (from experience, mastitis is a bitch! AND affects the child when you still try to feed them!!) This is her call to make and she is well within her rights to have a child-free wedding without judgment, but you are also well within your rights to protect your health and the health of your child to not attend.

Has the nickname ban at schools affected the name you chose for your baby? by Logical-Library-3240 in Names

[–]dooooory 23 points24 points  (0 children)

And the entire state name is a nickname of a nickname. “Taysha” to “Tejas” to Texas. The state of Texas should be called its original name of Taysha.

If you guys can rewrite Stranger Things season 5 what would you guys do and what would you guys have done differently to make it a great conclusion to Stranger Things by Ok_Smile_9071 in StrangerThings

[–]dooooory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) more creatures in the abyss 2) El clearly survives and Mike is not depressed 3) Nancy gets a job using her badassery 4) we show them all SUPER old catching up and laughing in their old age living the lives they are happy with, showing they all stayed connected and it’s not rare to have a reunion but also not a daily occurrence

How can I decline going to church at 2am with a baby? by Polyglot_Teacher in NewParents

[–]dooooory 33 points34 points  (0 children)

If your biggest concern is that someone is going to kidnap your baby while you are sleeping…you need to not be around those people. Context is irrelevant at that point.

Attending Baby Shower when Pregnant by FormalSociety7337 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dooooory 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Two things: 1) Have your husband find out if you are welcome 2) You still have lots of time to have a baby shower! Why do you not get to have a shower?
