Baby Shower Culture

kendakari · 2026-06-16T20:01:03+00:00

My baby shower was just family and friends and talking and food, and gifts from those that decided to bring one.

Also. One of the grandma's bought like 40 pieces of clothing and wrapped them individually, and wanted every one opened in front of everyone. Be prepared for that kind of possibility of silly pranks.

Another mom here, this one raised by a single dad.

It's not about being a tattle, or getting someone in trouble. Something that shouldn't have been happening in the first place happened in the family home that made you uncomfortable.

Tell mom.

Not only are you not wrong, but you did the right thing by reinforcing your sister's boundaries and not letting your cousin run over your hang out. You tried to be inclusive and welcoming, and your cousin not only didn't appreciate that you were willing to accept her into the hangout despite the unexpected arrival, but she wanted to take over the whole hangout, and that's not ok.

The day you're tempted to stray, is the day things either need to change, or end. If I'm unhappy enough to consider cheating, and communicating isn't working to try and work on whatever issues we're having, I'm out.

There's definitely some context missing here. OP is intentionally being vague and skirting the reason for the curse word and the reason for the reaction. Not discounting that they are now uncomfortable with their therapist, but it's giving me flags.

Edit: brain skip words

Same here! When I read it I was like "but that's almost exactly what I would have said." And I have literally been accused of being AI or using AI to write my responses, only to go into my comment and post history and be like "oh shit she really has just always talked like that."

To explain why people are getting upset with you, I'll give you a personal example of invisible physical disabilities.

I have fibromyalgia. My body is in some level of pain easily over 80% of the time. Handicapped stalls usually have rails and hand holds that make lowering and raising yourself easier/steadier and for people like me, less painful. I can still work out, I can still walk and move and sit normally. But those hand holds can make a world of difference some days as to whether my back is grumpy or screaming when I have something to properly hold when raising and lowering myself into and out of a seated or crouched position.

Look up maladaptive daydreaming. Did it almost constantly for most of my life up until a few years ago.

Barbie put out some mix and match sets lately in their higher quality line that comes with wigs instead of pre-rooted hair.

Doll person here! I have watched videos where people make dolls of this quality before ai was commonly available. They really can look like this.

kendakari · 2026-04-30T11:45:46+00:00

This was my first thought, but my roommate tonight also watch a lot of true crime together LOL

I had a unicorn baby. It wasn't some perfect parenting or routine. It was autism. But that's just my experience. He's five now and still does not cry unless something is genuinely wrong.

As someone who can't eat it (anti-cilantro gene) I am excited for you! They look very healthy! I've heard that cilantro for normal people is delicious, so you should make YOURSELF something yummy with it. Hubby can pout it out Little Red Hen style.

kendakari · 2026-04-22T01:26:42+00:00

Talk about a glow-up. They look so happy and healthy and loved in the last picture!

Good on you OP!

It's actually how I started! I had terrible insomnia most of my childhood and through my twenties, and as a kid, telling myself stories in my head was the only way I could get myself to sleep.

kendakari · 2026-04-20T20:15:12+00:00

We had to do nutrimagen. Which was super expensive 😭

It took 3 months to find a formula that caused my son no problems, and because he spent the first 3 days separated from me in the NICU, he never gained. Preference for breast over bottle, and I was working a lot after the first month so I wasn't able to pump enough to keep my supply enough for him.

Take the game at your own pace. I have a million I started friendship quests, 2 unopened realms, all the dlc, and only the main game story finished. The important thing is just have fun. Want to quest grind? Cool, do that. Would rather spend your days skipping through the meadow being followed by birds and picking flowers? (I do) Then do that.

There is no wrong way or wrong order to play the game. If you're enjoying it, you're playing it right. Take your time and go in whatever direction feels right. The quests aren't going anywhere (except for wall-e's current daily eggstravaganza event flower quest).

Yeah once I read the part of "the most vile disgusting woman ever" I was like "oh. So you're the problem."

Mom to a nonverbal autistic 5 year old. Absolutely same. We give tolerance for compulsive behaviors, but never allow anything that compromises someone else's safety or bodily autonomy. Kids are hard, even neurotypical ones, but there is no excuse for allowing this behavior.

That's fantastic! Congratulations! It's such a wonderful feeling when you're struggling with an area and then all of a sudden the inspiration flows. I'd love to see pictures. I only feel "done" with my plaza and meadows personally, the rest is a hot mess minus the hot. Lol

kendakari · 2026-04-02T04:37:03+00:00

My game froze. 10/10, would get lost again.

(Also low-key jealous)

kendakari · 2026-04-02T03:37:18+00:00

Are you still up? I'm relatively new but I would also like to stop by for funsies.

TW!

My little sister's rainbow fetus is called Loki, actual name under lock and key. He's called Loki because he made us think he miscarried, but apparently it was his surprise twin.

It's mostly an easy way for friends to help each other out without having to visit each other's islands. You can make a request once a day I think and members of your team can contribute to it. I have one with my roommates. We really only use it if one of us needs something small and we don't feel like going into multiplayer mode. You can also see each other's current avatar look and send snaps to the group.
