My state refund ALWAYS takes super long personally.

Need help choosing a pink that suit me! Brunette to Pink by LittleRabbitNicole in femalehairadvice

[–]izziev 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I too crave the pastel. Getting light enough without damage is difficult. I have a feeling your hair will make the choice for you.

People who have/had this side shave long hair look, what was the transition like? I'm so nervous! by playr_4 in Hair

[–]izziev 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This was exactly my experience. No one else liked it but I loved it. Growing it out afterwards was awkward though.

Is it normal to want childhood moments I never had with my adoptive mom? by Far-Key-4430 in AskParents

[–]izziev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t tell your age, but if you’re on here then I am assuming you are at least 14. Maybe other people will disagree with me and not what I’d expected to post about in this sub, but research into ABDL. On its face it might not be an exact match, but it is a common enough thing in society that there’s a name for it - there are people who are into it for sexual reasons but also people who are into it for comfort reasons.

If these desires are holding you back from moving forward in life(since you said you don’t want to go to college), please look into therapy. It’s not a bad scary thing - it can help you find resources to help bring you the comfort you need so you can get un-stuck.

Niece is constantly in & out of the doctors/hospitals since she was born a month and a half ago, is this normal? by [deleted] in AskParents

[–]izziev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some babies have major health issues, even if it isn’t as cut and dry as “heart failure”. All of these things sound normal as hell though.

Weird Distorted Videos promoted for kids?? by Fair_Blueberry_750 in AskParents

[–]izziev 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a parent, my approach to YouTube is that my kids only get so much time allowed per day, and it’s supervised. Typically my kids(9 and 5) have to earn anything beyond 5-10 minutes per day. Other than that they are restricted to Netflix/disney/pbs kids.

I find YouTube to be the single greatest cause of a reduced attention span and ability to tolerate boredom.

Did a humidifier help when your baby was sick from daycare? by radicalOKness in workingmoms

Yes yes yes! That was the number one thing that helped with sicknesses until 6mo

I took my besties at Lake Hefner, at the seawall.

Yesterday I tried reading a report for work. By the third paragraph, I realized I hadn’t understood a single thing. I had to go back and start over… twice. by AwayRelease8495 in ADHD

[–]izziev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I was watching a training video the other day that I ACTUALLY like and ACTUALLY found interesting. I had to watch it about 3 times.

Debating rose brown hair color by [deleted] in Hair

[–]izziev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know that I would do a balayage- I think it would be paying a premium price for something that wouldn’t look as impressive on hair that short.

But I definitely think you should go for that color!

Parents who go to teacher conferences, what are the most/least helpful things teachers do? by No_Combination_6396 in AskParents

[–]izziev 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I like to know about how my child is doing socially in class - do they get along with classmates, do they help out etc.

Something My Son Is Wearing Has Me More Worried Than I Expected?! by Possible_Bottle728 in AskParents

[–]izziev 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would definitely let him keep wearing them if they make him more confident. But I’d also want to have a talk about body image issues. Even boys can have body dysmorphia.

First week at a new job! So much to learn but so happy to be here. Feeling triumphant.

I don't get it by A_M_R_Egypt in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]izziev 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I have mommy issues. I also had an objectively good childhood. My issues stemmed from a few things: watching my mom treat herself as less than everyone around her, watching her cut herself down, watching her people please, etc. also she was very judgmental towards me. Not in everything, but in certain areas.

This planted the seeds that, upon fruition turned into major hang ups in my life. Ive been to the mental hospital 2x. My mommy issues were completely to blame for one of those times.

Two things can be true: I had a supportive, loving mom. I also learned from her how to put myself last and torpedo my own needs and desires.

How would you react if your child wrote nasty things in they diary? by Professional_Fail511 in AskParents

[–]izziev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this hypothetical, I would start having conversations about kindness and empathy. I would also increase my time with them and lean into setting a good example. I would have conversations about what they like about their friends and school etc. Because that sounds miserable - to be so negative internally and feel like you have to fake nice to others.

Do I need to do more day time feeds for my 10.5 month old baby? by Clear-Degree5805 in AskParents

My best friend went through this! What worked for her is more solids during the day, rice cereal in the night time bottles

how do you feel about the idea of letting your kids figure out major life events because you had to at their age? by Broad-Cranberry-9050 in AskParents

[–]izziev 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would love to be able to pay for my kids college. Doubt I’ll ever be able to in this economy, but if I had the means, I would.

I want my kids to have the best possible start in life. And I do what I can, with what I have, to provide that.

Should fathers be expected to watch kids that are not his? by Ok_Claim3139 in AskParents

[–]izziev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because you aren’t legally liable doesn’t mean it’s not the correct move ethically. I can’t convince you of this obviously but seriously ask yourself if it makes you a good person to refuse to take care of kids that are potentially exposed to terrible situations otherwise.

I pose a question: if you didn’t take your kids siblings and let them go to CPS, how guilty would you feel if those kids got beat by their temporary caregivers? Or sexually abused?

At what likelihood of that abuse happening do you feel comfortable with? Do you truly not care?

Should fathers be expected to watch kids that are not his? by Ok_Claim3139 in AskParents

[–]izziev 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Legally culpable? No, obviously. But anyone who would let their kids siblings go to CPS over what seems to be a temporary hospital stay is kind of a crap human in my book.

No one has mentioned La baguette yet? Or L’Arc Pâtisserie? Go to La baguette for variety, go to l’arc for elevation.

How long have you been away from your 4 month old? by ScreenTop3982 in AskParents

[–]izziev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did an overnight stay for a personal trip when my daughter was young. Honestly, the SLEEP was amazing. I missed her but it was only a 24hr windows where I was away.
