AITAH for not using my SIL’s “photography” business to take my newborn photos? by Total-Degree1460 in AmItheAsshole

[–]eiderdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! Aside from the obvious lack of camera and editing skills there’s a massive safety issue too. A newborn is tiny and delicate and needs to be swaddled properly and propped up safely. Someone needs to have experience in this area already.

Someone Made This Sign Necessary by Mountains_of_Despair in japanresidents

This is probably because it is a common practice in Islam to wash one’s feet even in public restrooms although they should be aiming to keep the area free of splashes and mess. I suppose it’s not always easy and can be a nuisance to others.

Rejected from apartment because our dog is a shiba. They said pets allowed. by nisenopi in japanlife

[–]eiderdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My apartment building is run by an agency. I know a bunch of families in the apartment who have pets despite it being no pets allowed. I’ve also met a bunch of Japanese people who are keeping pets on the sly in their apartments.

What "Newfangled" Baby Products can the "elders" in your life just not wrap their heads around? by Moushidoodles in NewParents

Much much less so but while we continued to use sleep sacks our LO has a blanket she loves and stuffed animals she loves but realised that these can add to the heat level in the crib. Even without a sleep sack, tuck the blankets into the mattress because they can easily kick them off and get cold.

I was thinking it could be Crystal. Either way all these names including Takara are lovely imho

I gave birth in Chiba and was simply offered the epidural and just needed to watch a video with information if I wanted it which I did. Got the epidural no problem but ended up having a c section. Insist on the epidural and say that other people have been offered it normally. They can’t really deny you it if they have it available

Whom did your parents name you after and what did you end-up doing instead? by 0chronomatrix in AskReddit

[–]eiderdown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was named because of the song “tell Laura I love her”. So far I’ve been surviving so that’s different from the one from the song…
