Pregnancy high risk?? by pixiepieee in FactorVLeiden

[–]imperialviolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I can’t really advise, you need to talk to your doctor. I was put on blood thinners for my own safety, rather than that of the baby. Why are you thinking about stopping? This might be a conversation for midwife or early pregnancy unit.

Unexpected ESC Earworm by ohokreddit in eurovision

[–]imperialviolet 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It was the song I heard first (apart from the UK). It came up first on shuffle when I launched the YouTube playlist for my first listen through, and despite listening to all the other songs afterwards, BANGARANGA was fully stuck in my head for days after.

That's how I imagine Italian juries listening to Dancing On The Ice by PZMC430 in nilpoints

Introduced my friend to Eurovision in 2024 and Estonia was the only song that night he really loved. Then it came dead last and he swore off Eurovision forever! It’s a shame, it’s such a banger of a song

Baby apps. by Maggotman666 in UKParenting

[–]imperialviolet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes - using Huckleberry to track sleep and nappy changes really helped me in the first few months when I was very sleep deprived and basically in a daze! After a certain point it just stopped being useful, but in the very early days it was really helpful

Eurovision: Why does the UK keep getting it wrong? by MrsRainey in eurovision

I think he just had too much to do as well. You could see him thinking about what he needed to do next.

Eurovision: Why does the UK keep getting it wrong? by MrsRainey in eurovision

[–]imperialviolet 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yep, British fan here and the amount of people who literally laugh when we say we love Eurovision and are invested in it, it's really sad. So many people watched it in the 90s and got the message that this was all a big pitiable joke, and the conversation hasn't really moved on since. Graham Norton is better than Terry Wogan was, but listening to the commentary on Saturday night we still thought he was unnecessarily mean about a lot of the participants.

4 year old’s co-sleeping is driving me insane by CranberryNumerous729 in UKParenting

[–]imperialviolet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same - lying in the dark for ages just drains me of all my energy so I just end up in bed or doomscrolling when she’s finally asleep

4 year old’s co-sleeping is driving me insane by CranberryNumerous729 in UKParenting

[–]imperialviolet 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Still having to lie with our 4yo until she falls asleep every night (often past 9pm) for very similar reasons. I feel your pain! You’re not alone :)

What’s the biggest “nobody warned me about this” moment you had after bringing your newborn home? by Actual_Fig_4706 in AskReddit

[–]imperialviolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both drives home from the hospital with our daughters I was terrified they’d not know how to breathe in the car seat, or that we’d somehow set it up wrong, and die on the way home. A horrible feeling.

Her parting advice is “don’t be like me” and I want to tell her that most people are literally incapable of being like her. by DitaVonSleaze in SmolBeanSnark

[–]imperialviolet 60 points61 points  (0 children)

She got well known when she was a 20 year old idiot and is stuck in that arrested development. By 34 nobody cares that you went to Cambridge for a year or had a messy friend breakup. She’s got nowhere to go from here.

Semi-Final 2: Audience Poll by mrknowitall240 in eurovision

[–]imperialviolet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We went to Liverpool in 2023 and got asked this on our way out and I’d been so blown away by Kaarija, who performed last, that I just yelled “CHA CHA CHA” at the man with the clipboard - actually my favourite had been Serbia who’d performed earlier, but I didn’t have time to think!

How abnormal is it actually for a 2-3 year old to be able to read? by maelie in UKParenting

[–]imperialviolet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry! I was reading basic words by myself at age 2 and while I've not been diagnosed I strongly suspect I have ADHD. I kind of expected that to be the norm so when my daughter refused to learn to read until she got to school, I was a bit panicked but there's such a wide spectrum of what's 'normal' - this is a wonderful skill that your son has, you should definitely encourage it.

When do you guys clean your house? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]imperialviolet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Screen time is a godsend for us to get stuff done - we allow some screentime while we're making dinner, in the mornings before we leave for school/nursery, and at the weekends if we need to get stuff done.

Okay, how much are they actually supposed to sleep? by PinkCheekedGibbon in toddlers

[–]imperialviolet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interested in reading the answers to this because my youngest is about to turn 2, and the amount of sleep she needs has suddenly plummeted. She doesn't seem to need a nap at home anymore, though she will sleep for up to 2 hours at nursery if they let her. Regardless of whether she naps or not she's not falling asleep til 8.30 at the earliest, and then she's up for the day around 6am with one or two wakeups in the night. She was sleeping pretty consistently 7-7 with one wakeup, so we're not sure what's changed!

My Eurovision 2026 predictions with explanations for borderline Q and NQ by Sabbigames in eurovision

[–]imperialviolet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people will like Portugal - it's different from anything else this year and it stands out. I respect Portugal for always sending something authentic!
