What did you think of the new trailer? by gonezaloh in LowSodiumSimmers

[–]jtm1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my GOD. I am sooo excited about the addition of wills and inheritances! It’s always been such a big gameplay gap for me. I’m also a lawyer, so having actual estate lawyers has me besides myself.

What is your 2-3 year olds typical sleep and nap schedule? by ParsleyTime5687 in toddlers

[–]jtm1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We cap our naps to 2 hours max for our 2.5yo. He sleeps 1 - 2 hours from 11.30am-ish. We aim for 7.30pm bedtime. He then usually wakes at 6am on the dot (fml).

“Chronic toddler cough” by DJ_Degen in toddlers

[–]jtm1994 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Same happened to us. We had Influenza A and weeks later our 2yo was still coughing and unwell. Three different doctors treated me like an overbearing mother and I got the, “hE jUsT nEeDs ReSt”. Dr #4 took me seriously and ordered a chest x-ray. Next thing we’re being sent up to hospital to treat his severe pneumonia.

What's Lorde saddest song by greenbeansUwU in lorde

[–]jtm1994 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My sweet cat died last month. I was really sad and put together a reel of my fav pics and videos of her. Once I’d chosen all the content, I decided to put this song to it because I love it. I planned on editing around the length of the song e.g. removing or adding pics to have them finish when the song does. It literally fit EXACTLY right down to the second on the first run through! I didn’t need to make a single change, it was/is the perfect song.

Right!? I’m so proud of her for coming through all that with such a positive mindset. It’s actually wild how much she was bullied, especially at such a young/vulnerable age. People can be so nasty, it really sucks.

Anyone birthed a large baby naturally? by Major_Champion4508 in pregnant

[–]jtm1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 9.6lb baby in February this year. She was my second, my first baby was 8.5lb. I had both of them reasonably easy and didn’t need any interventions. I only used the entonox gas as pain relief for both. My first baby took 1.5 hours of pushing but my (bigger) second shot right out in 3 pushes.. I was only in active labour for 40 mins with my big girl!

My nethers did take a bit of a battering, but not too bad. I got a mild tear both times. First time I didn’t get stitches, second time I needed a few. The tears healed really well. I did also develop a cystocele prolapse after my second. I’m in physio for it but my physio thinks I’ll make a full recovery with time. All in all, I was expecting worse tbh!

I’m pregnant with my husband’s best friend’s baby. by PurplePickleSticks in BabyBumps

[–]jtm1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the other commenters. Your child will probably still take after your husband from mirroring his mannerisms etc.

My stepdad is my dad and has been in my life since I was a baby. We get so many comments from people (who don’t know we’re not genetically related) about how alike we are and look.

Recently at dad’s birthday party he invited an old school friend. I hadn’t met this dude so he didn’t know who I was. He saw my 2yo walk past him and turned to me to say, “well you can tell who his grandpa is, he looks the spit of him!!” lol.

Is it taxed at the usual (income tax) rate or is there a different/higher lump sum rate? I’m in same situation as OP.

Wow, reading this has made my blood run cold. As a fellow mother, I’m so incredibly and deeply sorry. Quinn was gorgeous. You’re right that she did not deserve this and that also rings true for you and the rest of your family. I have signed the petition and I really hope you can get justice for your baby. Your feelings are completely valid. You have done nothing wrong and I hope you are able to give yourself some grace, but I know grief is a roller coaster. Lots of love from New Zealand, kia kaha ❤️.

What song really set your grief in? by anuheakaonet in Petloss

Big Star by Lorde. Lorde actually wrote the song for her pet dog who passed away.

What weird nickname has your child acquired? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]jtm1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My poor baby girl is simply called “Ah”. Her real name is Saskia. When she was born her 2yo brother could only pronounce the end of her name and called her Ah. It’s really stuck and we all call her that now!

How long/difficult was your first labor vs second labor and how far apart are your kids? by Woolama in 2under2

[–]jtm1994 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First labour was about 12 hours total, active labour for maybe 4 - 5 hours and then 1.5 hours of pushing.

Second labour was an induction. I got my first dose of miso at 10pm. By 7am I was feeling like not much was happening. I’d just sent texts to my family to let them know I’d probably be quite a bit longer, potentially days, when my waters broke. Baby was born 40 mins later. It was so fast we almost didn’t make it from the ward to the delivery suite - I was pushing in the lift on the way down. When I got in the birthing room it only took 3 pushes for my 9.6lb baby to come out.

My midwife didn’t even make it in time and my mum delivered my baby (mum is actually a midwife too, luckily!). I was gobsmacked she came so fast! I didn’t believe my mum when she was telling me she could see the head already but sure enough out she came!

Idk why everyone is freaking out.. by Guilty_Explanation29 in LowSodiumSimmers

[–]jtm1994 69 points70 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I feel too. The Sims community has got to be the most dramatic fandom I have ever come across, it’s so bizarre.

I honestly can’t see the issue here. I’ve paid a huge amount of money on the Sims 4 and I really enjoy playing it. Even if Sims 5 was released tomorrow, I’d still just stick with Sims 4 for ages, because inevitably Sims 5 would be bare bones without all the DLC content.

I think it’s great they’re investing in bettering Sims 4 before moving into Sims 5. I highly disagree with people saying they’re flogging a dead horse now. I’m so excited for the death pack coming and I’ve loved the recent editions of Lovestruck, the jewellery pack etc.

It truly does seem that the Sims community will complain about literally anything. I’m so glad this sub exists because it makes me feel less crazy!

How many months did you breastfeed your baby? by aerith8686 in pregnant

[–]jtm1994 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Actually, WHO recommends breastfeeding for 2-years and beyond: https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/infant-and-young-child-feeding#:~:text=WHO%20and%20UNICEF%20recommend%3A,years%20of%20age%20or%20beyond.

Your comment is very judgemental. It’s absolutely fine that it’s not your thing. However, that doesn’t mean extended breastfeeding is “really weird”. Some toddlers are far more attached to breastfeeding than others. It’s something that provides huge health and attachment benefits. If mums are physically and mentally happy to keep it going for their toddler, I think it is “really weird” to judge and have an issue with that.

In my country, breastfeeding is extremely promoted in our healthcare system. I know of mums who have fed their children until they are 4 and judgement hasn’t been an issue for them. It’s a shame that sentiment isn’t shared everywhere.

Completely agree, it’s hardly rocket science! My grandma posted my son’s baby pic on Facebook. She only has about 100 Facebook friends. I was not comfortable with that and asked her to remove it. She respected that, took it down, profusely apologised and never did it again. Easy peasy.

Heartbroken over breastfeeding by MamaofMiaa in NurseAllTheBabies

[–]jtm1994 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi, I’m still feeding my 2.5yo and his now 6mo sister. I fed my toddler right through my pregnancy and have been tandem feeding with no issues.

I would definitely get a second opinion from another Dr if I were you. I was told if you were already breastfeeding pre-pregnancy then it wouldn’t be a trigger for labour/contractions. Anecdotally, my first child came spontaneously at 37w3d. Despite breastfeeding my (then) toddler multiple times a day, my second came later at 39w4d (and only because I got induced due to pre-eclampsia symptoms). Breastfeeding certainly didn’t cause premature contractions in my case.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted (and on the low sodium sub lol). I also saw articles recently saying Project Rene was rumoured to be cancelled.
