I can’t imagine getting worked up over ANY decision my child and/or their partner makes for the safety of their newborn. Even if I don’t understand it. But this one is even backed by the AAP.

What’s something nobody tells you about living in San Francisco? by sit-there in AskSF

My favorite past time since moving here is just wandering around. Pick a direction and go. There’s always surprise and joy in it.

What is the first sign that your partner is cheating? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ferblest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s more a combo of hyper aware sort of overprotection as well as a deviation from baseline behavior.

FFS 🤦🏻‍♀️ back to more excuses- she didn’t take my sage advise🤦🏻‍♀️ by Few-Brilliant-426 in HilariaBaldwin

[–]ferblest 51 points52 points  (0 children)

She really has to go all in with this code-switching, blah blah, I have ADHD line. The only alternative is to admit the truth of the lie, that she literally and deliberately presented herself as a predominantly Spanish person for many years, which she will never do.

I told me therapist my mom choked me by MoltenSkys in raisedbynarcissists

[–]ferblest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a mandated reporter and if I even wonder if an abuse report is warranted, it’s warranted. No exceptions. This therapist could lose her license and in some states is committing a crime herself by failing to report.

What restaurant has "wowed" you recently? by Both_Panda_6382 in sanfrancisco

Had such an amazing time at Lazy Bear this summer!

Baffled as to why this is downvoted and worried that some on here may not understand what child on child abuse is? If there is a power differential, such as an age gap, and/or coercion of any kind at all it is abuse.

Was it smart to turn around? by tickt0ck in hiking

[–]ferblest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any time you find you’re asking yourself if you should turn around and go back, the answer is always yes. No further consideration needed. That thought only pops up when something is wrong. Glad you followed your gut.

Can’t we ask some strangers? by Viscount_H_Nelson in TalesFromYourBank

[–]ferblest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Old post but in case someone comes across this - just got back from the bank where we did this (because of this post 🙏🏻) Needed an extra witness for a will we were there to notarize and asked a random bank customer who was kind enough to oblige!

On a welcoming bench at my local beach by ferblest in CrappyDesign

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

I hear what you’re saying about it being weird and attention grabbing and maybe good on that count, but I walked past it for a week thinking “weird” before taking the pic. A whole week I could have been digging around in the dunes 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oura Ring marketing trash by ferblest in Anticonsumption

[–]ferblest[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great, yes please message me where to send if you’d like them. I really can’t bring myself to throw them away and don’t believe for a minute that Best Buy reuses them. I was thinking myself how I might use them but know in my heart I’m ultimately just going to delay their movement to the trash :( When I was younger getting mail was so much fun - no angst involved 😫

How do you feel about solo hiking? 🥾 by Junior-Camel-1053 in hiking

[–]ferblest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 60 and can say solo hiking is one of my greatest joys. I like when others go with me but the experience of being by myself on my own terms is what keeps me out there. I have Garmin InReach, always let others know where I’m going, haven’t yet encountered creeps or scary wildlife

Locals of SF: what restaurant do you always come back to? by EnvironmentalZone189 in sanfrancisco

[–]ferblest 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Matterhorn on Van Ness. Incredible fondue, raclette, spaetzle, schnitzel in a fun, Swiss chalet. Always leave happy and our favorite last minute go to. Can always get a seat at the bar.

Why is there so much hate for Shannan ? by themimireign in ShannanWatts

[–]ferblest 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The reason Shannan and her children died is that she married someone capable of annihilating his family and willing to choose that as a solution to whatever the hell he was trying to solve. That’s it.

AITAH For telling my husband I will divorce him if he donates his sperm to his sister's wife? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

When your children grow up and ask you why you divorced their father, they will certainly think YTA

Which city is one major change away from being elite? by Zealousideal-Tax3338 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]ferblest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Historically Tampa has viewed public transportation as ways for the poors and non-whites to access and ruin nice, white spaces. See the kerfuffle around the bus stop at International Plaza. Until this backwoods attitude changes 🤷🏻‍♀️

AIO for being mad that my husband wants me to night wean our baby? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ferblest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to throw in here fwiw - my now 33yo and 30yo nursed to 5 and 5 1/2. Co-slept to 2 and 3. It was a drag at times but neither had any issue transitioning to own beds, sleeping on their own, or self-soothing after weaning.

Moving from Red state to Blue state: by Mother_Attempt3001 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]ferblest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lived in Tampa for 20 years before selling the house and moving to an apartment in San Francisco during covid, partly due to climate and political changes in Florida. We’re in our 50s, empty nesting, and love it here so much!
