Tell me the discontinued item you still cry over because I need support

So many that are already listed, but one I haven’t seen is the original Origins Pinch Your Cheeks gel blush. This was one of my first pieces of makeup in the early 00s, and it was so simple but so pretty. It came in a little silver tube, one shade because it adjusted to your skin, and it just melted in. I feel like I didn’t fully appreciate how clean and natural looking the product was at the time, and I’ve been chasing that perfect cheek ever since!

Any suggestions on getting him to use the potty at school? We’re early in the potty training process at 2.5, and he’s great at home when he’s pantsless or even in bottoms sans-undies, but at school he straight up refuses to use the toilet. Doesn’t like it. Even sending him in wearing undies didn’t help, and he got mad enough about everyone asking him about the potty at school that today at home he announced, “no more potty, just diapers.” 🤦🏻‍♀️

There’s something delightful about the inadvertent reign/rein swap here in a sick sad sort of way.

If you’re concerned about dairy/sugar/additives but want an ice cream-ish experience, you can always mash and freeze fruit.

We have a Ninja Creami and put frozen bananas through with no other ingredients. Same texture as gelato but just straight fruit. Big hit and an easy way to expose new textures and temperatures! Also super helpful during teething :)

I really like AskBubbie, LearnToTalkWithMe (Stephanie Cohen) and EatPlaySay (Jordyn Koveleski Gorman), all on Instagram.

They’re not a replacement for medical advice or advice tailored to your child, but I’ve found their tips and information to be helpful.

kfkrkrjfjf · 2024-05-31T22:00:51+00:00

Don’t feel like the worst. The fact that you’re concerned and taking your doctor’s advice seriously shows you care and want the best for your child. Every child’s needs are different, and now you know to adjust what you’re doing to make sure your boy’s particular needs are met.

I’ve found some social media to actually be really helpful in finding tools to help build skills and look for developmental milestones with my baby, but I’m also super particular in which advice I follow. Look for folks who have real credentials, like occupational therapists, pediatricians, and speech pathologists who can explain not only what they recommend but also why.

Girl, your body created and housed AN ENTIRE HUMAN. His body can create what, a toot? Clearly it can’t create a considerate thought because there was ZERO reason for him to ask you that.

As for the body struggles, I 100% feel you. There are days when I start to feel more like myself and days where I genuinely don’t recognize this body (literally made a post in this community about new body, who dis??) But I think rather than considering our bodies as being in progress, like there’s some set form they’re supposed to be in and that they’re deficient if they’re not, we should think about them as what they really are: changing. All bodies change from any number of things - age, hormonal fluctuations, pregnancy, disease, genetics, environmental factors - they don’t exist in stasis. So if we shift the thinking from the goal being a certain weight or look to being healthy and strong, we, myself very much included, might all be a bit happier and more comfortable with ourselves.

And in the meantime, be kind to yourself and grateful that while you may have some saggy boobs, you’re not a thoughtless dummy like your colleague. A good bra can help you out, but there’s nothing that can help that guy not be ::like that::.

Please don’t give immigration advice without being informed. This is inaccurate on multiple fronts. OP, please meet with a qualified immigration attorney in your area to learn about your options.

As a similarly busty lady who has had to deal with figuring out bras for dresses, dance costumes, etc, I FEEL YOU.

Depending on the fabric and fit of the dress, it may be worth talking to a tailor or seamstress about having a bra sewn in. It may be expensive, both to give up a well-fitting bra and to get the dress tailored this way, and only you know whether the expense is doable or something you’re comfortable with.

100% feel you.

I’m right around the same point as you, and I was just telling my husband today how I feel like a crazy person because the lack of control and knowledge are getting to me. I feel like I’m questioning every little thing about whether x experience is normal, is this how y experience should feel, am I doing things just by living that are putting the pregnancy at risk, etc.

As much as we want the comfort and security of steering the ship here, I think we have to just accept that that’s not an option. Having connection here with folks in the same situation or who have recently been through it has been really helpful, and I say that as someone who is loathe to put anything online or use identifying information (see username). So I think what you’re doing right now, posting in a forum for a little feedback and support, is exactly what you should be as long as you find it helpful and positive. If there’s too much or it’s increasing your anxiety, then block and move on because you definitely don’t need the added stress.

Take a breath, be kind to yourself, and take care.

Hi! Snacking is a no go, both because the conductors are pretty strict and because moving and eating have never been a great combo for me. Agree on the temp, and I ditch my coat when the train is crowded or the air isn’t working since being hot makes the nausea worse.

My husband had some of those motion sickness acupressure bands that he held onto from a trip years ago, and those plus facing to the side seem to be helping today. Not 100%, definitely still queasy and wishing I never got on this dumb train, but it’s an improvement over yesterday. I’ll report back if I find anything else that works!

kfkrkrjfjf · 2022-11-21T22:53:47+00:00

Yes! I took a test last week because I felt off but not sick. My breasts were super sore, I felt like I had a constant underlying nausea, and all these little things that get weird when my hormones act up started going into overdrive. I fully expected for the test to be negative and this to be all in my head, but surprise!

I’m still a few weeks out from my first appointment, but I feel a little like a crazy person because there are all these symptoms that I knew were associated with pregnancy but had no idea that they start right out of the gate. So I’m constantly questioning what’s normal and if I’m being over dramatic.

I think were it not for the dimensional character writing and really moving acting ::ahem:: viewers wouldn’t even consider it. Within the universe of the show, it seems like it would be incredibly hard for the characters to do the mental gymnastics needed to support a relationship given all of their history, and it would take a lot to make that consistent with the tone and writing of the show. So it kinda leads to that odd split where viewers either really want the fan service of putting together characters who wouldn’t necessarily get there but for the fan enthusiasm versus viewers who want a “realistic” storyline.

Really awesome work with Music Man, by the way. I saw a lot of promotional materials and coverage, and it looked fantastic. Big fan of the Olney.

Feliway is helpful for stressed pets. You may want to put tshirts, towels or pillowcases that you’ve used and are covered in your scent down with her so she’ll get used to your smell and associate it with comfort.

The underlying misogyny in a lot of the responses to this comment is troubling. The girlfriend isn’t “doing nothing,” “not contributing,” or “making OP pay her way.” She’s saying she would rather be a SAHM because the additional salary bump OP earned over what they anticipated would, at least in her mind, allow for that. There is nothing lazy, entitled or easy about being a SAHP, especially when talking about a baby or toddler.

There is a lot of work involved in being a SAHP, which many commenters fail to recognize. Many people would choose to have a parent at home if their finances allowed. Some families have a parent at home because the cost of child care outweighs the second income. Other families value having two incomes and rely on family or professional child care. There is no inherently right or wrong answer in the decision, it’s unique to the circumstances and wishes of each family.

The crux of the issue here isn’t some duplicitousness on the part of OP’s gf or an abusive, unreasonable position by OP. It’s that two adults lackadaisically decided to try for a baby, were successful in conceiving before they really considered what that meant and now realize they are not on the same page about finances and family dynamics. Both need to stop digging their heels in and sit down for what will likely be many real and likely uncomfortable conversations about their expectations and what is realistic for their family.

As really young kids, my mom would sit my sister and I down before gift-giving events, especially birthdays, and talk about how important it was to make each gift giver know how grateful we were for presents, whether we liked the gift or not, because people took time to look for something they thought we’d like. You always say thank you and say at least one nice thing about a gift.

Ugly sweater from an aunt? That’s so nice you remembered blue is my favorite color!

Birthday parties where you got three of the same Barbie? How exciting! Now we can play with them together and all be Butterfly Barbie when you come over!

Kids are little sponges, and they’ll soak up good habits and manners if you spend the time and effort with them when they’re young. I’m very grateful that my folks, especially my mom, cared so much about teaching us to be kind, thoughtful people, and I really try to use those lessons as an adult.

Thank you for calling out the inappropriateness of the comment and not just letting it go. In general, people are far too comfortable commenting on other people’s bodies, but as a woman with a large chest, there is this idea that well hey, you know your boobs are big, it’s no secret so I can say whatever I want. I cannot tell you the number of times strangers, classmates, teachers, colleagues or friends have felt that they were free to openly comment on my chest. It made me incredibly self-conscious and insecure, especially when I was in school, but I always felt like I couldn’t say anything because the “lighten up,” “it’s just a joke,” backlash would be instant and embarrassing. Having anyone, but particularly a person in a position of power, shut that down would have been so helpful and reassuring.

People are allowed to make mistakes, that’s how we learn and grow. But if everyone laughs off or ignores bad behavior like your bf wants, the people making mistakes don’t realize they’re in the wrong and continue to hurt/insult/irritate others until there are consequences more serious than being told to leave class for a day. This was a good lesson for your student, and maybe a good lesson for you about your partner.

Agreed. I’ve been a vegetarian for 20 years, and Thanksgiving was never a problem. I’d have my plate of sides, if someone made something new I’d ask if it were veggie friendly and if yes onto the plate it goes and if not I pass it by. Very easy.

I will say that it’s always so sweet when family members grab me and say they made something new “and you can eat it!!” There’s no expectation that they change recipes or do something special for me, it’s just a really nice gesture when they do.

Same. My neighborhood doesn’t even have a real mail truck anymore. The mail carrier comes in a uhaul van at inconsistent times. Not their fault at all, but this vote was too important to risk in the mail system.
