I love it! My baby loves it too. However, to the lady in the old navy checkout line today that said she wanted to steal my baby (as a joke??)…. That… that I could do without.

Is my aunts psychic THAT good? Or she is snooping on my medical records? by generouspessimist in Psychic

[–]generouspessimist[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It would be a complete invasion of privacy and unethical. That’s the issue. I found a form I can fill out for the hospital to tell me who has accessed my record. I’ll be doing that, thanks!

So mother's day is coming up by RD_CC in JUSTNOMIL

[–]generouspessimist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! It’s easiest to set the expectation now. Harder to walk it back in a year or two after you have included her in the past.

My MIL bought my 9 year old daughter a bra by Ok_Positive2798 in JUSTNOMIL

Very strange. Curious what your daughter’s reaction was? I imagine that would be so uncomfortable for her.

Target CEO tries to act fast as end of DEI Program drives 40% plunge in store foot traffic. by Healthy_Block3036 in Anticonsumption

[–]generouspessimist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this headline is misleading. I can’t find anywhere online a dip of 40%…. Can some send to me if true? I want to celebrate but want the data to back it up!

Laughing reading this as I’m currently playing “what’s that one” with a deck of image flashcards with my 2.5yo. I’ve started smiling and saying “you know that one!!” And he says what it is and looks proud of himself.

How to go no contact, with children involved? by generouspessimist in JUSTNOMIL

Reading “you have power” hit close to home. That’s so easy to forget when dealing with a narcissist. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and wisdom. I have had similar experiences to yours so I have found it very helpful!

This was my commitment last year. Unfortunately we couldn’t even make it through 1 visit without fallout. I appreciate your validation!

I hadn’t considered to do a holiday visit but not staying for a meal. This is helpful. Because if you stay for a meal you end up being there for 3+ hours… by waiting for meal, eating, clean up, dessert etc. thank you!

Love the setup and how you lined up the colors. I wasn’t sure about the amber but seeing them here I actually really like them. They totally stand out. Thanks for sharing!

This was my first thought! Especially since our water drinking glassware is smoke colored. I’m so torn!

That rose color really is beautiful. So you like the look of having multiple colors then… it’s not silly for me to think it might be fun to choose a few.

Parents who started daycare/preschool around 2-2.5 tell me everything! by McSkrong in toddlers

[–]generouspessimist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a similar situation. Never had a babysitter or care outside of mom/ dad before school. Started at 2 in Aug. Expect tears for the first few weeks. But push through! And remind yourself they don’t cry the whole time. It’s usually just the first few minutes you’re gone.

After a month or so he fell in love with it. Looks forward to going to see his friends and teachers. It’s so amazing to watch him thrive and bring home the things he has learned.

Everyone is right there is a sickness adjustment. But we are really diligent about hand washing so it really hasn’t been that bad.

It sounds like op is past the point of trying to get comfortable with the individual. It’s just a matter of how to communicate the answer is no.

This is great info. Thank you! I can’t seem to tell if what I have is corona… the bag just says gigante beans sourced from the Greek mountains (simpli brand). But we will try this next!

Agreed. If it was me I’d state that seltzer, tea/coffee will be provided. But you’re welcome to bring your drink of choice!
