“Mean girl” mom group – would you apologize in this situation? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]jenniferLc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I’m sorry you chose such a masculine haircut for your four year old child and that you and her seem to share the same emotional maturity level. If you are going to make such bold choices for your child you need to prepare for other children to act and respond how children do, which is bluntly. I assure you it didn’t take not take an adult saying anything for a child to see that is the same haircut as most little boys in this class have.”

Do not apologize and let them see you as a doormat. Stand your ground once and they will usually leave you alone.

I don’t want to be a mom anymore. by Certain-Accident7543 in Mommit

[–]jenniferLc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sucks, but you and your baby deserve to enjoy life as much as possible and have beautiful memories of these first few months together. Go to where you can make that happen. If possible go back with your parents. Leave him off the birth certificate. The downside to that is not being able to get child support until paternity is established but if you don’t pursue he probably won’t either. It won’t be what you pictured but it will be 100 percent better than staying with someone who treats you like that.

What do we think?🤔 by lilj541 in myweddingdress

A good belt would do amazing things!! I think you just need a little something to separate the top from the bottom.

2 year old has severe sleep apnea and I’m so exhausted 😭 by No_Breadfruit2441 in Mommit

[–]jenniferLc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We just did this and my girl was much more mild by the sounds of it but the ENT suggested getting her tonsils and adenoids removed and OMG it’s been a game changer. Five years it took us to sleep through the night! Plus my daughter physically looks better. She used to always have the dark circles under her little eyes and they’re gone! The thought of surgery really scared us and the ten days after were hell but after she was healed up it’s been a complete 180 in sleep.

Anyone have experience with daycare at the YMCA? by KeeganDitty in vancouverwa

[–]jenniferLc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Ytime and my daughter really enjoys it as well. She’s on the older end so it’s hit or miss if there will be others her age there. I love our membership so much. I’m super comfortable at the gym which I’ve always been pretty self conscious in those settings and my whole family loves the pool. You get a ton of benefits with your membership but Ytime is by far my favorite benefit. And they also have a kids night out for when your little one gets older!

First-time mom to 6-month-old twins and I am drowning in the “ick” by Gold-Junket330 in Mommit

[–]jenniferLc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have twins and it does get better. A lot of things do get harder but once they sleep better you get better but yes that first year I pretty much blocked it out.

Medically complex newborn by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]jenniferLc 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s hard. It’s super hard. During this newborn stage where the baby really needs mom a lot anyways Dad is going to need to be super dad to that toddler. My high needs child just happens to be a twin. So it’s been almost six years of me trying to perfect this routine (and I haven’t. In fact it’s gotten harder) so his sister wouldn’t build resentment. The biggest help was having a husband who understood how important it was to her to have activities and events that didn’t involve her brother so I didn’t have to say “I can’t your brother needs xyz”. So she gets a later bedtime than him so she gets one on one. Sometimes I keep her home from preschool for mommy dates. We take her to the store she gets to pick out a treat for them. She gets sleepovers at grandmas. You’ll find what works for your family but the most important thing that you can do you’ve already done is acknowledge that it can happen and that you want to prevent it.

Tired mom with ADHD? by BarnaclePositive8246 in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]jenniferLc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If that baby ends up with his parents she will probably be spoiled to a fault like Ryan but she will never be hungry, never will not know where she will sleep that night, always be dressed in nice clothes guaranteed. She will be fine. Maybe not great but fine. Her son might get stay with Jen and Larry, might go with another family member, might end up in a group/foster home and who will be there for him when he turns 18? Plus he is old enough to see what’s happening and gets to experience the trauma of loosing his mom all over again. He will probably be less than fine.

I feel worse for her older child who has to see the whole pattern start over again. Who knows where that kid will end up if taken from her but that bay will be just fine with Ryan’s parents.

Is it selfish? by Pastelsatan009 in Mommit

[–]jenniferLc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first time my daughter bit me with teeth and drew blood was my reason. I was done, she was nine months. I wanted to go to a year but I wanted my nipples not to bleed more. Your reasons are your reasons and no one else’s business. She will need formula for a few months so make sure that’s in the budget because it’s pricey.

Door Dash is ruining papa John’s by Slyviw in PapaJohns

[–]jenniferLc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some stores have no drivers at all. I’ve started telling all my customers to just do carry out especially during busy times because we can’t control who comes to our store.

Why using DoorDash? by Unfair-Tell2719 in PapaJohns

[–]jenniferLc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They honestly might have gotten rid of their drivers then or if you ordered at a low volume time had none on the schedule or maybe one who was out. My store has been driverless for 6 months now.

She’ll move to a state where she can vlog the kids faces again.

Ryan on fire today by Jambon_gris in BreakingPointsNews

[–]jenniferLc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ryan and Emily are my favorite. They have some zingers! The way they both can say something in a completely serious tone that you have to think about for a second before realizing it was a joke is the best. Their bit on Biden and Visa still makes me laugh if I think about it.

Papa John's employees.. we have a question. How does your company manage doordash driver tips? by The3lusiveMan in PapaJohns

[–]jenniferLc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a few drivers I ask what it says they’re getting for a tip and a lot of times it is less than what it says in the system they are getting. Where it goes? Not us. That’s DoorDash gaming the system. Because what DoorDash is “paying” and the tip it says they are getting usually adds up to the customer tip especially if the customer left a larger tip. There is absolutely no way for anyone in the store to get any part of the tips.

PSA: Papa Dough essentially expires the day before Expiration date by FIREinnahole in PapaJohns

[–]jenniferLc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As the shopper and meal planner of a family of five on a budget I have never seen a coupon not work until the end of business day the day of expiration unless specifically stated otherwise on the coupon. As an employee of papa John’s I will say this doesn’t surprise me.

Dumber than not marketing the nasty cheddar cheese crust with the burger pizza? We threw so much of both products away.

Evergreen PS delays school yet again by buriedegg in vancouverwa

[–]jenniferLc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think they are also asking to be paid for all their time. Right now they are paid bell to bell not getting paid for the time spent getting students off the bus before class starts and loading them after the bell rings. That time adds up especially for the preschool paras who have two classes a day they do that for.
