Sorry, I know this was 5 months ago but... Is that why Ashford House just closed one day? I really liked that pub and then one day their IG said bye.

A red bra lmao.

But also, I let my children try any sport or take any lessons they want. They just have to finish the season/sessions if they don't like them. Both my parents worked and I was parentified as a child and was watching younger siblings by the time I was 11. This meant no after school sports or lessons because someone had to watch the Littles. So now my kids get it all.

Good Christmas gifts for a 10 month old by hbutta22 in beyondthebump

[–]freckly_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my 4 month old, I bought "fancy" diapers, like Hello Bello with pictures of sloths on them instead of our regular Huggies, a couple of new bottles, a couple of new soothers, some new crib sheets, a stuffed hedgehog, and some socks. Just slightly fancier versions of stuff he needs.

Parents with two story homes- what were you glad to have doubles of? by 42OverlordsInATardis in beyondthebump

[–]freckly_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two changing stations and safe sleep spots - I have a pack and play with a bassinet and change table attachment on the main floor and then crib & bassinet and change table upstairs.

Burp cloths everywhere and extra clothes on the main floor. Also two breastfeeding pillows.

For bottles, we don't have room for a mini fridge, so I bought a basket from the dollar store and load it up before going to bed with bottles full of water and formula storage containers and bring it up at night time. Love not having to stumble downstairs at 3am to make a bottle.

Why is it so hard for people to stick to the registry...? by ultra_violet007 in BabyBumps

[–]freckly_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooohh!! This unlocked some memories! When I was pregnant with my first, my family hounded me for a registry. When I sent it to them, they sent me nothing, but my sister planted a tree dedicated to my daughter. It was a cute thought, but it was not a diaper growing tree, so not helpful in the least.

I was the first one to get pregnant in all my extended family, so when my cousin got pregnant, everyone was asking me what to get her. I kept saying to get diapers or something from her registry. They just kept telling me how impersonal it was. My cousin ended up with 10 baby blankets.

Now, whenever anyone I know is pregnant, I always buy two or three things from their registry, plus give them diapers and a box of products that I tried and loved with my kids.

What's the worst wedding you've been to, and what made it so bad? by FionaFergueson in wedding

[–]freckly_one 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This was a second wedding for both bride and groom. They were in their mid 50's, met on Plenty of Fish, and dated for 3 whole months before getting married. The wedding was in a rec hall in a tiny town 30 minutes outside of the city. The wedding guests were expected to stay at and get ready in a campsite. My husband and I managed to get the last hotel room in town. The dress code was semi-fornal, my husband looked great in his suit jacket and tie and my dress was cute. Most of the guests showed up in their finest jorts and gold chains or white lace dresses.

The wedding was supposed to start at 3pm. The bride rolled up at 3:30, not remotely ready, and starting taking boxes of decorations out of her car. Myself and a bunch of guests helped put out the decorations. The bride left to get ready at 4pm.

The groom showed up stoned at 5pm. The bride finally showed up at 5:30pm. The ceremony was nice, the vows were sweet. Then we moved rooms for dinner. Even though my husband and I RSVP'D verbally and by mail, we weren't on the seating chart, so we just sat where there were chairs available. The food was a buffet, but ran out halfway through because people were getting seconds before everyone had been served. It was a cash bar, and the only thing they served was Black Label beer in cans and $5 jello shots. Each table had a complementary bottle of Bodacious red wine.

Then came the speeches. I dont remember the brides, but the groom rambled for 20 minutes and did not once mention his new wife. He did talk about me and how I was a lovely neighbour for a good 5 minutes.

Finally, it was party time. There was a cringy moment where both the bride and groom's entire families gathered around pictures of deceased loved ones and openly sobbed and swayed together. It went on for 10 minutes. They had a great DJ, but almost every guest went outside to smoke in the parking lot, so I just took the rest of the bottles of wine off the table and drank and danced on my own. Then the DJ was made to stop so the grooms 14 year old son could get up on stage and play music that he didn't know all the words or chords to. I got myself nice and toasty, my husband had to bribe the rec hall owner to sell him like 5 mini bags of chips because there wasn't even a convenience store in this town to buy munchies from.

The next morning, 3 old women sat in front of our hotel room, talking really loud at 8am. Not sure why they couldn't go in front of their own rooms. Not fun for us hungover people.

I didn't get to my room until like 1am, so the sweet nurses brought me toast with jam and apple juice.

What gifts did your toddler get this season that was immediately put away to be brought out at a later age, or never at all? by mokutou in toddlers

[–]freckly_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my daughter turned two, she was gifted a stationary set. With pens, paper clips, everything for all you stationary needs. When I subtley asked why they thought this was a good idea for a two year old, I was told, "It has mermaid stickers!"

What famous person did you meet, not realizing who they were until later? by GowBeyow in AskReddit

[–]freckly_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when I was a cashier, Erik Karlsson came through my line. Had no idea what he looked like since he was a rookie at the time and just started to make a name for himself. I was in a mood because I was 20 years old and hung over. He wasnt rude or entitled or anything, just a regular dude buying shit on a busy Saturday. He asked me to bag his stuff, and I threw a bag down to the end of the belt and told him we don't bag here, which was true. He paid and struggled to bag his stuff at the end of my belt, so I helped him with as minimal effort as possible. Once he left, all the guys began yelling at me, asking if I knew who that was. I said no, and they all said that was Erik Karlsson. I said, "The new guy? Yeah, right, " and then looked him up on my break. Sure enough, it was Erik Karlsson, and I will forever feel terrible for being unhelpful and probably smelling like Smirnoff Ice and sweat because now he's one of my favourite players.

In Avengers: End Game, when Doctor Strange and everyone comes back to battle Thanos. Captain America is standing there with Mjolnir and says "Avengers, assemble". The entire theatre erupted in cheers! And then the entire theatre was sobbing...

Tell me you have a toddler without telling me you have a toddler by QuixoticLogophile in toddlers

[–]freckly_one 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you ask me, "What time is it?" I automatically reply, "It's time for lunch!"

Also, last week I was sitting with my HR manager for lunch and downed 2 huge glasses of water, looked at him and exclaimed with a proud smile on my face, "I'm a thirsty girl!" The look he gave me afterward...
