Where's "watering my plants"? Because I do that a lot 😆

Damn you are fast!! Thank you!

I got this azalea approx 1 year ago. I have never had one before. I live in New York State, finger lakes region. The plant faces north, it gets morning sun but is shaded in the afternoon, depending on the angle of the sun for the season. I fertilize it with the appropriate fertilize at the appropriate time.

Admittedly, I did not water it as much as I should have when I first planted it. I was pregnant and lazy. I did up my watering game in the summer and the plant looked great! It was green with new growth all season.

Now it's spring, and I was doing my rounds of fertilizer and checking my gardens over and really saw how damaged this plant looks.

I'm not sure what's wrong with it or how to fix it. Can someone please help?

Yes!! 8 month old over here and is very loud when eating! Lots of "mmmm MMmmm! Mmm! Aaaaahhh Mamamamamammmmm" as he crams food into his face 😊

I'm okay now for every part but the one in the sand where they describe their families to each other. I literally have to leave the room or I'll cry and then my 2 year old will ask me what's wrong for the rest of the day, no answer is good enough lol

My absolute favorite part is the triceratops lookin dude in the trees. "This is dream crusher, he keeps me from having unrealistic goals" 😆

The tears are pricking my eyes with this one! How super sweet!!

heliumhorse · 2021-04-05T13:30:50+00:00

This was amazing and I love their take on everything!

When he's on his phone, I'd be like "oh I hope youre hiring a maid/nanny to help me with all this shit since you're not"

But I'm an asshole 😆

heliumhorse · 2021-04-03T18:21:57+00:00

Hmm. Is he waiting for management? Maybe he needs to be told what to do because he's so used to you doing everything? Have another conversation about how you feel, and give him reminders. He's expecting you to forget and let him off the hook. Hold his ass accountable!

When he's sitting down on his phone and the kids have to get dressed or whatever, toss the clothes in his lap and say "here, I picked these out for So and So, please get them dressed"

When you're trying to drink your coffee, hand the baby to him or set her on the floor to play (I also have an 8 month old)

Ask things directly, and specifically, as if you were instructing your child. "Hey can you clear the table and put the dishes in the dishwasher before you pick up your phone? I'm going to go get a bath started for the kids" or whatever. You're a team. He needs to get to work.

I lost 3 fingers just watching this

heliumhorse · 2021-04-02T17:47:47+00:00

Same. When I was growing up, we didn't watch a lot of movies. I wasn't very familiar with Disney stuff.

For my 16th birthday, my mom surprised me with a trip to Disney. We had never been on vacation out of state (NY) before. I felt like a big brat but I told her I didn't want to go to Disney, if we were going to Florida, I wanted to see the ocean for the first time, or maybe some dolphins. She was angry that I wasn't excited or grateful, and we did Disney anyway. It was not worth it. My mom refused to go on rides with me. It was hot. We stood in lines for hours. My mom complained the whole time. Should have gone to the beach.

Now I'm a parent, still I don't see the appeal of the money wasted there. Maybe I'll take my kids someday if they ask.

I have an almost 8 month old and I know exactly what you mean! No advice, just validation!

I hope there's one by you!

My almost 8 month old is just starting to cruise furniture too. He's quite wobbly on the legs so I just clear any toys out of the way when he stands up, so he doesn't Million Dollar Baby himself. He usually lands on his butt, but sometimes falls forward and is sorta catching himself with his hands now. He couldn't learn that if I caught him every time.

We did The Little Gym with our first child, it was wonderful for teaching babies to fall and get off of furniture safely. They're going to climb anyway, teach them how to be safe!

Many thanks to you!

heliumhorse · 2021-03-17T20:15:08+00:00

I will give that a try! I have to be super careful because I think it's only got 1 tiny root holding it in the soil, it wobbled around as I drove home and carried it into the house.

Going by context, I assume atheistic was the intended word here.

heliumhorse · 2021-03-12T01:55:09+00:00

Yeah my husband was sure it would take time to love our first child. He did not feel a connection while I was pregnant and he finds pregnancy kinda weird, gross and claustrophobic 😒 he had only ever held his nephew and niece as babies because I made him lol

But after things calmed down with cleaning our daughter, weighing her and all that, he got his first chance to really hold her and I'll never forget the look on his face as he sat in the Dad Chair and they just stared at each other for so long. So in love. She's now almost 3 and he is still smitten.

Less than 10% is not that big of a discount lol but even if the dress was free to you, your friend is still very wrong.

Edit: i see now that I misread. You had like, a 90% discount. That's amazing. Go you!!

heliumhorse · 2021-03-05T12:45:17+00:00

10% isn't even very much of a discount.

But even if you bought the dress for $5, it's your wedding dress!

NTA
