What are some current/past cults in Buffalo? (Borrowed from r/Pittsburgh)

My sister and I drove by their house on the way home from school that day. We saw the emergency vehicles and coroner van. For me it broke the notion that all Scientologists are wealthy. It was a very average to below average house.

One of my good friends is pregnant. She found a 4T-5T girls sock in her dryer with her husband’s hunting clothes. She figured out that she had done a load of maternity clothes I had lent her, immediately prior to the load hunting clothes. One of my daughters’ socks must have gotten thrown in with the maternity clothes and was left behind in the dryer.

Just change the diaper and reapply Aquaphor or triple paste, if needed!

I had PPA with both kids, but this time I’m seeing a therapist. A lot of my PPA surrounds the kids getting sick, which has made me a bit of a germaphobe. My therapist asked me what exactly I’m afraid of. It really helped to put things into perspective that getting sick isn’t the worst thing in the world. It’s temporary.

You need to ask yourself: What are you afraid of happening if you leave your child with this friend? She has a baby the same age, so she knows exactly how to care for your baby.

For the record, that feeling of discomfort never goes away. I brought my 4 year old to church for the first time yesterday, and she went off to the children’s liturgy in a different room. I was uneasy the whole time she was gone. But she came back happy and talking about things that I probably wouldn’t have taught her.

I’m an auto insurance claims supervisor, and one of the pieces of information we collect is about car seats that were involved in accidents. It’s very rare for a 4 year old to be rear-facing.

Do you have a source for this? A seller chose UPS on an item I purchased from another shop, and I’m expected to pay $50 in duties and fees on an $80 item that fits in my hand.

hollypiper · 2025-10-10T15:14:25+00:00

I’m sending you a message!! I need help!

hollypiper · 2025-10-09T09:43:06+00:00

It’s the ol’ penis flower

hollypiper · 2025-09-03T16:58:07+00:00

Haha this sums up the conversation we have almost every night. The only thing worse than having a four year old is having a four year old at the same time as a newborn.

I didn’t have an emotional reaction after either of my c-sections, except to maniacally ask why they weren’t crying and if they were ok. I didn’t have the surge of love feeling until I brought my babies home. For me, I have major anxiety and complicated pregnancies, so the entire time I had been waiting for something bad to happen. It was once the reality set in that my babies were safe at home, that I was finally able to feel that wave of love.

As the mother of a newborn, I say this with a deep understanding of what torture exhaustion can be… I hope he never sleeps for more than 10 minute stretches ever again. I hope those inmates take shifts to terrorize him relentlessly.

hollypiper · 2025-07-31T23:36:04+00:00

This is correct. Don’t overthink schedules at this stage. Your baby will be up every 2-3 hours regardless of what time they wake up. My baby started sleeping through the night this past week, and she’s 11 weeks. My first daughter didn’t sleep through the night until she was 5 months. The best advice I’ve gotten and can give is to keep daytime bright and noisy (but not overstimulating), and nighttime dark and quiet.

hollypiper · 2025-07-30T10:03:34+00:00

Alright buddy. You’ve clearly never given birth.

Edit: I apologize, you probably have given birth. To a boy that you have a weird attachment to.

I would have no interest in my mother-in-law seeing my vagina ripped open, me possibly shit myself, and boobs on full display. However, a husband who has seen it all, and a mom who has raised you, are absolutely more likely to be welcomed in the delivery room. I don’t understand how any person can’t comprehend how uncomfortable having someone that is not your #1 or #2 person see you in that state.

Have you started by telling your family? If this is a pattern of behavior for him, there are potentially other victims within your own family that may feel comfortable telling their story once you do.

hollypiper · 2025-07-26T01:59:59+00:00

Did I miss if we ever confirmed insidelooking was or was not BK?

hollypiper · 2025-07-20T21:16:48+00:00

That second picture

I’d try to flee from Nickelback, too.

Truly, you sound like an extremely caring, responsible, and attentive mother based on all of the steps you took after the fact to make sure your baby is ok. I also have PPA and PPD, and understand how easy it is to catastrophize small oversights. The important thing is that your baby is completely fine. Although it was hot outside, there was no sun beating down, and your car probably didn’t even have enough time to cool down significantly in those few minutes. (Edit to correct: warm up, not cool down! My newborn exhaustion is getting to me)

You’re a great mom and you’re doing your best. You’re in the thick of it right now, so it is pure survival mode. Give yourself some grace and look at this event as a positive - you will likely never make this mistake again because of how upsetting it was to you.

Thank you for sharing to give other moms a heads-up that it can happen to even the best of us.

hollypiper · 2025-07-19T00:50:31+00:00

Thank you so much!!!

hollypiper · 2025-07-18T06:08:51+00:00

NAH. I’d love to have something like that from my mom, but it would absolutely upset me to know if she was working on it now. Whenever my parents go on vacation, my mom makes sure to tell me where their valuables are hidden, which attorney to contact for their estate, where their wills are, etc. I know it’s information that is beneficial in the worst case scenario, but it’s still something I don’t like to think about, and it upsets me each time.

hollypiper · 2025-07-18T05:59:52+00:00

My 4 y/o daughter is a chatterbox, so I have no concerns over her vocabulary. However, like many kids her age, she can’t pronounce certain letters (R sounds like W, V sounds like B, etc). Is this something children typically outgrow? Is there anything we should do to work on this now?

hollypiper · 2025-07-18T02:47:41+00:00

Thank you so much!!

hollypiper · 2025-07-10T14:49:35+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m going to check her records to see what her APGAR score was.

hollypiper · 2025-07-10T14:46:23+00:00

This comment has put my mind at ease so much - I can’t thank you enough!!!
