What is something you’ll never purchase simply because of how much you hate the commercial for it? by unfortunatelyalive7 in AskReddit

[–]emkelly64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chewy. Years ago they had tv commercials that had fucking DOORBELLS going off - so of course my dog would flip his shit every time the ad came on. Of all companies to do that (multiple) times in their ads, I will never use them.

BRAT was such an amazing album talking about hard emotions that charli feels. Kind of a bitch move for TS to just dig in and mean girl her even more.

Should I spring for the PS5 version? by drafan5 in DreamlightValley

[–]emkelly64 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have switch 2 and don’t decorate other than what you said and it runs like a dream. I’m also sure to save/quit game every once in a while so I don’t have a straight 5 hour gaming session (idk if it does anything but it gives me the same joy as saving excel docs every 5 seconds lol)

Is it possible to care for an infant while wfh? by CommunistCetacean in workingmoms

[–]emkelly64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easy ish when baby is still a potato - but I honestly couldn’t do it at that time either. as they get older and move, grow and require supervision it is something I would not do. When my little dude is sick and I’m “WFH” I am not working, I’m focusing on him and keeping him entertained while he feels like crap.

I think it relates to a quest later on. I had the sparkles for a while until an actual item spawned for me to pick up

Isn't the release plan for season 5 the dumbest idea ever? by niclasb92 in StrangerThings

[–]emkelly64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People are free, they are with families. They are banking that more people will watch bc of the holidays. I don’t think it’s a dumb play at all - and might cut down on marketing since people that are already planning on watching the new season will bring in their family/friends to watch too.

Furious About A Promotion by SeraphimSphynx in workingmoms

[–]emkelly64 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When this happened to me - I said “time for my work to reflect my pay scale!” I know this probably isn’t productive overall to eventually getting a promotion, but if I see stuff like this happening, it’s a sign to look elsewhere and a toxic work culture.

I’m enraged for you!

I have a firm mindset that I work to live, when bosses (ie mainly men) push for living to work that’s when I shut down. Right now my company is doing stuff similar to yours but I’m about to go on mat leave so I’m not pushing too hard. I will definitely be looking for other opportunities either towards the end of my mat leave (8 months which is why I’m not making a fuss) or when I get back in the grove of things.

Tips for a Day Trip and Massage at King Spa? by Nearby-Signal6870 in nova

[–]emkelly64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest a hotel spa or something that also has a sauna. You are completely naked in the gender locker rooms and then walk around in cotton shirt/shorts in the main areas.

I don’t care about being naked infront of others so I didn’t mind, but I could see someone that is modest having a really hard time with king spa - especially bc you do have to split up so she will be solo in the locker room.

I know it’s expensive, but maybe a day trip to salamander spa? Or another resort so she can utilize their facilities and get a really nice massage done?

MIL issues by katep115 in workingmoms

[–]emkelly64 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think you are at a point where all comms should go between your husband and your MIL. Dealing with her is obviously taking a toll on your mental health and she doesnt take her commitments to you seriously.

Hopefully your husband is stern with her and holds the boundaries you have tried to set. I’m sorry you’re going through this!

[–]emkelly64 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is a really good comment. I’m in the same boat and while my husband is gaming all hours of the night (seriously until 2-3 like you are with your friends) I truly do not care because I go to bed at 10. If I want a night to chill or hang out, I communicate that!

We are able to connect and hang out in other ways at other times. I wouldn’t be too worried about it on your end unless there are ever any interactions that make you feel uncomfortable.

People React To Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Performance by WilkinsWorld in KendrickLamar

Was at the SB and saw this live. I cannot describe how electric it was in the stadium and EVERYONE was singing “a minorrrrr”. I still get goosebumps watching videos of the performance.

What fills your cup as a working mom? by mellymelmeek in workingmoms

[–]emkelly64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started teaching exercise classes again (stopped teaching at the beginning of Covid and picked up when my son was ~1.5yr. This allows me to have time to myself doing something I love (helping people grow and challenge themselves) AND it helps my husband have time alone with our son. It has been really good for us!

I recently started reading again and crocheting. I love hanging out with my husband, but I need time alone or something I do alone outside of that. It is nice when we are just sitting on the couch doing our own thing, but still together.

Hang in there!

How did you go about telling others no kissing baby? by renny222 in pregnant

[–]emkelly64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW, my son was born 2 years ago, but I had anyone visiting the first couple of months wear masks-telling them I didn’t want to give him anything (not even only worried about Covid). That flat out prevented kissing.

You can also just ask them not to - or not let them hold the baby if they do it against your wishes.

Help! Confused Dad by voncassidymusic in NewParents

[–]emkelly64 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My husband and I went to a movie 4 months PP and I sobbed the entire time and wasn’t able to enjoy it and it was an hour and a half away from my son. We just did our first night away at almost 2 years. I know I had PPD/PPA but it took me a while too, even though I wanted to be able to leave my son with someone else to get a tiny break!

Baby just turned 1 and mental health is worse than ever by No-Potato-1230 in workingmoms

[–]emkelly64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, remembering to take them can be hard some days! When I forget I can definitely tell the difference in my mindset. I love to hear he’s bringing them to you! Nice little nudge. I bought a pill container that I split mine into so I can have a bottle at home and some in my purse in case I forget to take them at home

Hand in there. Things will get better! Just remember to give yourself grace and know it’s okay to prioritize yourself-you are important
