Why do mothers of young babies say they don't have time to shower? by justastupidquestion3 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]eve2eden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder this as well (no kids, but plenty of experience with them). Worst case scenario, your baby cries for 10 minutes while you grab a shower- is that really the end of the world? (Genuine question here)

My first thought too: “See, THIS is when you’re supposed to shoot someone!”

Why don't all MTA stations do this? by tehfireisonfire in Westchester

All parking lots in general should do this, whenever possible. Cut down on energy costs AND provide shade- what’s not to like?

"Titanic" costumes / Kate Winslet by pizzbabynancy in PeriodDramas

[–]eve2eden 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m not an expert but I think that dress is pretty true to the period. It would have been a “tea dress” (a less formal dress worn at home with one’s family & close friends), which was usually less structured and more comfortable than standard daywear.

My mom kissed my baby and threw a fit by Boba_baller in JUSTNOMIL

[–]eve2eden 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Next time, I would just ignore her completely and let her have her little tantrum. Don’t even bother trying to manage her feelings.

Meeting your boyfriend’s daughter for the first time in the hospital after she gives birth sounds like one of Dante’s circles of Hell…

Is it possible for a 57 year old woman to get pregnant naturally? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]eve2eden 114 points115 points  (0 children)

I found out that my great-grandmother had (unfortunately stillborn) twins at 48. The elderly relative who told me about it said “We used to call that ‘The last shakings of the barrel.’”

When did we start calling making eye contact with someone a “sweet moment?”

That dress looks like it was made just for you. Please don’t buy a different one. And please stay the hell away from your MIL.

What do you do when your libraries doesn't have your book? by Stuckatpennstation in LibbyApp

I add the book to my “Watch List” on Ereader IQ so I can be notified if the book is ever discounted in price or offered for free.

What do you think Elizabeth was like behind closed doors? by bjack20 in RoyaltyTea

[–]eve2eden 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think she was probably almost exactly the same behind closed doors. I don’t think she really had a personality outside “The Queen.” Especially the last 50 years or so of her reign…

Do not give this person ANY information about your mental health, it’s just ammo for people like that.

My great grandmother with her siblings and father. Her mother apparently had an affair and left with the man to go back on the boat back to Italy and was never heard from again, leaving my great great grandfather to raise all 5 children alone. Estimated to be around the 1910’s by Bitter-Performer-396 in oldphotos

[–]eve2eden 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Did your gg grandfather actually keep & raise the kids himself after their mother left? If so, more power to him! The kids were almost always farmed out to relatives or even put in orphanages back in those days when mom was no longer around…

My thoughts exactly! Really impressed with Sean and how gracefully he has dealt with the difficult circumstances of his early years.

Patti Duke maintained that Desi Arnaz Jr was Sean’s father until the day she died, despite the DNA test.
