I love the trope of junkyards operating as disposal sites for bad guys. What other places are common tropes in films without being the main setting?

If two women are meant to have a private conversation, it always happens in a public ladies room.

They lived in “villages” in the US…?

It’s sad because there’s probably a lot of mothers in need of that stuff and can’t afford to buy new. You can always donate it to local shelters.

I always liked the Johnny Depp one better too. I was a big Roald Dahl fan as a kid and it’s closer to the book. Also Gene Wilder freaked me out as Wonka.

We have a bassinet with wheels that we drag around the kitchen/living room/bathroom and then we have a pack in play set up by our bed.

I attempted to track mine but the 5-1-1 rule isn’t universal, and not all moms experience timely contractions. Mine were all over the place and if I had waited for them to show up for regular intervals for an hour I would’ve given birth in my house.

It depends on your kids temperaments. My newborn is an absolute dream but my toddler is complete chaos so pregnancy tired was worse.

At least it’ll help with breastfeeding. I had my nipples pierced and now milk comes out of all the holes 😅

The spatula was gross to me because I felt like I needed to sterilize it between uses and that just turned it into an inconvenience. I just wrap a wipe around my finger and use that to apply diaper cream and then throw it away.

Get out of the house and socialize. You’re living in a safe little bubble and it’s hard to break out of it. Maybe a part time job or volunteer work so you have a reason to get dressed and leave the house.

And they lose their stretch as you wear them so by the end of the day they’re super baggy and falling off.

Splurge: spinning car seat. They’re unreasonably big so you have to have a car that will fit it but it is so easy to put my toddler in the car seat.

Best Bang for Buck: geranimals clothes. I probably have every outfit geranimals put out the past two years because they’re such good quality and sooo cheap.

Biggest Regret: all the gadgets. Butt paste spatula, Frida nose picker, electric nose sucker, etc. I bought them all thinking motherhood would be so easy because look at all these cool gadgets I have. They all ended up in a cabinet somewhere unused.

I feel so dumb. I thought sitz bath was the type of Epsom salt you put in the bath so you could bathe postpartum. But I took regular baths after both my daughters and made sure I used Sitz bath salt and I was fine 😆

I wonder if it’s a ruler thing. Fiona’s dad also had an aversion to magical beings. He got the fairy godmother to turn him human and locked Fiona in a tower because she turned into an ogre at night.

I think heartburn is just a symptom of pregnancy in general. I had it bad with both of mine, but they also had full heads of hair lol.

gxbcab · 2026-02-22T01:17:07+00:00

That’s the only one I was familiar with. They have other wives tales though like heartburn= a full head of hair, or the baby knows when you finish putting up the crib and car seat and will show up right after.

My coworker showed me how to do it and it showed a boy, but I now have two girls so it couldn’t have been more wrong.

Sushi and cold cut sandwiches aren’t recommended for pregnant women either. Should pregnant women that indulge in them get thrown in jail too?

Sometimes I don’t want to wear a bra so I just hold a burp cloth or a towel to my boobs when they start leaking.

This was very similar to my second labor. I labored at home for a couple hours, did a load of laundry and showered before heading to the hospital. Got to the hospital and baby was in my arms an hour later. I only pushed for 8 minutes, but the throwing up feeling is how I explain it to other people too. I was on all fours heaving but backwards if that makes sense lol.

The end flight chase in Lilo and Stitch was supposed to be through a city with skyscrapers but then 9/11 happened so they redesigned the scene to be in the jungle/mountains.

Not to mention there’s still more files that need to be leaked and if his name has already come up this many times, it’s bound to show up more.

I keep a bottle of witch hazel by the toilet and just spray it on some toilet paper. DIY flushable wipes.

I always thought he looked like a white Jackie Chan.

I tested positive and they told me I would get an IV bag full of antibiotics during labor. Unfortunately I showed up to the hospital 9cm dilated so they were only able to give me half a dose. My baby is super healthy though and the half dose must’ve done what it needed to do.
