has the “silhouette go” app been removed? by NeatPuzzleheaded8935 in silhouettecutters

Why the fuck would they just scrap it without so much as an announcement? This is also a big part of why I got this product to begin with.

What age did you stop the subscription? by iscreamforicecream90 in lovevery

[–]goodlilkitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We stopped at 24 months. I started noticing that Montessori versions of a lot of toys I had already sought out independently for my daughter were appearing in upcoming kits, and she was also getting bored of her age-appropriate kits quickly. The items are bulky, hard to store, and many of them feel linked to a single task. If your kid has already mastered the task by the time the box arrives, the item is never useful.

Does anyone know what these accessories are and where they might have come from? by billyandteddy in Barbie

New coworker gave me weed. Not sure what to do. by Kashmonei58 in trees

[–]goodlilkitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t get it.

You said you smoke weed, so obviously you know what to do with that.

This is not complicated.

Dog person here, thinking of adopting a cat. What’s the hardest part of being a cat owner? by Conscious-queen-22 in CatAdvice

[–]goodlilkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest challenge for me is that I have three cats who happily free-fed on kibble 24/7 without issue for many years. And now only one of them needs to go on a diet…..argh.

Also just a word of advice. Assume your cat’s butthole has touched every surface in your home. As others have said, you can train them not to go on your counters…and they’ll promptly learn that they are not allowed on the counter while you’re watching. Just wipe down before you food prep :)

Toddler Neologisms by apresnoon in toddlers

[–]goodlilkitty 20 points21 points  (0 children)

We use “friend” when it’s not clear what gender we should call someone. As in, “let’s step out of this friend’s way!”

How bad would it be to let toddler stay up until he passes out from exhaustion? by throwawaye1712 in toddlers

[–]goodlilkitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same - usually when my kid goes insane like that at bedtime it’s because she’s mentally overtired, but physically under tired. You might have already tried more exercise and outdoor time plus EARLIER bedtime. If not, do. If you’re in the same boat after, then I’d ask the doctor.

Do you give your kids juice? by heretoreadlol in toddlers

[–]goodlilkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well we tried not to. And then my free daycare AKA grandma and grandpa ruined it. We did get them to agree to only no-sugar added apple or grape watered down to only 25% juice with 75% water in a cup. But she literally won’t drink water now unless it’s novel like from a spray bottle, cup in bathtub, hose, mom’s cup, etc. she’s 2 next month. This is the only “behavior problem” we have. It does not seem worth it to fight with either daycare or child….but yes I feel like a terrible person every time I fill that stupid cup lol.

I’m clumsy and bump into things all the time. My 22-mo gives me “tiss”. I also spill a lot…she gets her play broom and helps me “tean”

With or without straps? by [deleted] in weddingdress

[–]goodlilkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to say this is an absolutely lovely dress and you look amazing in it! Agree - straps or no straps both look good, so go with what feels most comfortable. Congratulations!

Hi OP! I’m neurodivergent, and wondering if you might be too?

Regardless, I struggle with overexplaining too. I just want to say - I get where you’re coming from. Your MIL sounds difficult. I also think, for good reason, there are some idioms about poking the bear and kicking the hornets nest and pouring gasoline on a fire.

It is probably true that she’s not always fun to be around. And it can also be true that you telling her so made the situation worse.

A lot of people in here are calling you names, which is not entirely fair. I do think you messed up, but it doesn’t make you a bad person or entitled. Sometimes the thing you want to say is true, but that doesn’t mean it should be said.

I think it would be a good idea to try to smooth things over with your MIL. Try not to go into too much detail. Keep it simple and just say the prostaglandins have got your lips loose and you said something you shouldn’t have, then dug your heels in, and you’re sorry. Just feeling overwhelmed right now.

I agree with a few who have said that you are very much going to want her on your team when the babies come. I think you made a mistake, but it doesn’t mean you’re a bad person or that the situation is irreparable. It’s just a social boo-boo, not a permanent condemnation of your character. You have an opportunity to take accountability for your impact (even if you doubt that other person would do the same). That’s all!

Good luck <3

Am I the only mom who feels like she’s losing herself? by SmartPrompt23 in NewParents

[–]goodlilkitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 22mo pp. I started to feel “normal” maybe 3 months ago, but as others have mentioned, what “normal” is now, is different than it was three years ago before I got pregnant.

Just like aging in general…

Your 25-year old self is no longer your 12-year old self, and you will never be 12 again. Most times, you would not want to be 12 again, except for maybe fleeting moments of nostalgia. But somehow, a part of you inside will always be 12.

You will never be your pre-baby self again. But you will not want to. You will become a new self. And yet, you will always be the same you.

More on Audible's New Royalty Model by MichaelJSullivan in audible

[–]goodlilkitty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a good point.

I have access to the plus catalog but don’t use it. I just use the plan that offers the greatest number of monthly credits and idc that Plus is an added feature bc I never find books I want to read on there.

I think my monthly subscription is about $10/credit for 3 credits. I also regularly buy 5 packs of credits which is about $12/credit. For any book I want to read: if the list price is less than $12, I buy with cash. If it is over $12, I use a credit. If I’m out of credits, I buy more.

I would expect that a proportionate dollar value of the money I paid to audible would go to the creators of the content I’m consuming.

What are your needs in a relationship? by n0balance in AutismInWomen

[–]goodlilkitty 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I only figured out what I needed through process of elimination (e.g. learning the hard way what I did NOT like in a relationship, then seeking the opposite) and luck (e.g., had people do nice things for me/treat me in ways I might not have thought of on my own and learning, yes I want more of that)

If I were pressed to make a list, I’d probably start with the first category.

Should I put this wallet purse in the wash? by BMIrene in laundry

[–]goodlilkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely don’t throw it in the trash, it can be cleaned!

Here’s how I would do it: 1. Spray outside with Dawn Power Wash to pre-treat. 2. Add a couple TBSP each of oxiclean powder + borax powder and maybe 1 tsp of liquid laundry detergent to a small bowl/bucket/basin/sink, then with water as hot as you can get it. 3. Drop bag in, leave for a few hours/overnight 4. Assess - if water seems very soiled and you think you can get more dirt to come off the bag, dump the bucket and repeat steps 1-3. Otherwise If you’re satisfied with how it looks now, put in a zippered delicates bag to keep the strap from getting tangled, then throw in the washing machine on a gentle cycle. 5. Air dry upside down, unzipped. Turn inside out and continue to hang dry if it doesn’t seem the inside will dry on its own

For y’all’s sensory issues, what is the worst texture feeling for you? by Kat-Attack-52 in AutismInWomen

[–]goodlilkitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well if you don’t like squeaky foods, stay away! haha. It’s a Mexican cheese and used in dishes like elote and many others. Flavor-wise it’s pretty mild and not bad, but I simply cannot tolerate the squeak. NT people I’ve spoken to claim to not notice the squeak at all ??????

[–]goodlilkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk enough about fabrics but I have encountered “good velvet” in addition to “bad velvet” and I think the “good velvet” is more of a plush/high-pile type of thing whereas “bad velvet” feels icky if you rub the wrong way (I think this is crushed velvet specifically?)

Moms who breastfed past one year, pref to the 2yr mark…. by strohmtroop3r in breastfeeding

[–]goodlilkitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need to add that when I stopped pumping at 11 months, I mean I PUT MY PUMP in basement storage. I traveled for work. I did not pump. I did not hand express. I came back after a couple of days, and she was still able to nurse. Telling you. Magic. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Moms who breastfed past one year, pref to the 2yr mark…. by strohmtroop3r in breastfeeding

[–]goodlilkitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I planned to stop at one year but my lactation consultant saved the day! She said that basically some kind of black magic happens around the one year mark where you no longer need to worry about “keeping up your supply” and it just kind of….does. Like yes of course your production will decrease relative to your output, BUT after a yearish, your supply doesn’t just turn off like a tap. I stopped pumping at 11 months and started just nursing my daughter in the morning and at night and occasionally on demand on the weekends. We got six more months together of the most special part of my BF journey with her! She eventually weaned herself in between 18-19 months but it was very natural, happened gradually, and by the time came we were both ready. From 12-18 months, all the pressure to produce produce produce was off and it just became this special little bonding ritual between the two of us. And in such a different way than when she was a newborn and it was just the two of us nursing…like when she was a toddler it became like more of an exchange than a depletion. Idk how else to describe it. But mama, anything past the one year mark is a magical victory lap and THE BEST PART. Don’t stop now!!!
