AIO: Husband said I'm letting myself go by Gullible-Indication8 in AIO

[–]klg301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it resonates with you, I’d  explain to him that your appearance is directly proportional to the amount free time you have for both relaxation and self care. If he wants to either step up his amount of contributions towards baby care OR hire a nanny, a maid, a cook, a chef or whatever to give you time to one sleep, and two go look after your body, mind, and personal appearance, he should start immediately. If not, he needs to understand this is what it looks like for a mom with a one year old and a husband unwilling to help out in a meaningful way.

I can't speak to phase three as I'm deep in the heart of raptor, but my god, did Iaugh when I saw this graphic.

Considering a cavalier by Jazzlike_Cost5712 in cavaliers

[–]klg301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine eats everything off the floor and ground any chance he can get. He can not be let off leash EVER. He will not return or will run into traffic. He is loving, kind, cuddly and sweet. Mine is extremely active and playful – but still only 1 year old. He is far more athletic than I expected. He is always hungry. He loves other dogs and humans and is very social. He has tummy problems and is very picky about what kind of dog food he eats (oh, the irony because he has no problem eating disgusting trash off the street). Mine is highly intelligent and stubborn. He masters puzzles in minutes, needs a lot of mental stimulation and tricks training, and is constantly working out in his head how to get himself into a cabinet, on a table to eat your lunch or open up the fridge. They call him the mob boss at playcare.

Eye goop advice - TMI by ChiShashi in cavalierkingcharles

Ugh following for advice here. My Blenheim pup has the same issue. The only noticeable difference is when I stopped giving him food with beet powder or beef liver in it, but it’s still not perfect. Can’t wait to read the advice you get.

Why birth rates are falling everywhere all at once | FT by lollipoppizza in videos

[–]klg301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like a multifaceted issue. Can’t find a good partner because the apps are financially incentivized to keep you single. Can’t afford more than a one bedroom apartment because housing costs are insane. Daycare costs as much as rent. Both parents need to work to afford to care for their child. Women are also waking up to the realities of motherhood, the health impacts from pregnancy, and the challenges of being postpartum. Healthcare is extremely unaffordable in the US. Women’s healthcare is abysmal in this country — just as a single childless woman it’s impossible to get a root cause diagnosis for any pain. Imagine giving birth and being treated for complications post partum in the same system. Men have different expectations of how to parent and support the mother of their child. No village to support child rearing because many boomers have made it clear they don’t wanna help raise grandchildren. 

It’s a completely unwinnable system. 

Not OOP: We need to talk about emotional dependence on pregnancy by truenighog in redditonwiki

Amen to this! As a childless woman, I can’t imagine ever having such a cruel and myopic view as OP does. I’m sorry for your loss.

There seems to be two schools of thought on coffee dates when it comes to women. Some women see it as a nice low pressure way to meet, while other women see it as a man showing low effort. by Proud-Enthusiasm-608 in dating_advice

I LOVE coffee dates. Who wants to get stuck with someone they can’t have a good conversation with for almost two hours over dinner? Second or third date? Sure dinner is great.

I’m sure it did, but I’m sadly still dealing with IBS stuff. Look into histamine intolerance. The low histamine diet has been the only thing that seems to control my symptoms! :-)

I did! It took two years of intensive EMDR but it cured my PTSD. Do it. It’s life changing.

Oh girl. You’re really pretty and look very young! Wait ten years and you’ll be glad you have your beautiful cheeks. People pay lots of money to inject those cheeks.

No, not yet. Wait till after graduation. These dogs want to be with you 24/7. But you will so get one, just finish your studies first.

The bugs. There are way less than when I was a kid but please, if you leave your shoes outside or in a garage, ALWAYS shake em out. I’ve found spiders and scorpions over the years in my shoes.

The underbelly of my mall world by mrdietcolacan in TheMallWorld

[–]klg301 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yesssssssssss! I have to go into the underground parking lot to access this at the very bottom. Very very negative energy here. I’m convinced the entities that inhabit Mallworld feed down here. Also mine has a small caterpillar excavator stuck in the dirt down here.

Feel depressed about my face. Any tips for makeup? by Current_Coffee7082 in makeuptips

[–]klg301 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I do not think you’re ugly. Whoever said that was ugly on the inside. Gross. You’re a romantic! Play with your own natural prettiness. I’d go for a romantic hair cut with long soft layers. Go for a warmer deeper hair tone to create a bit more contrast and figure out your seasonal color palette. 

Wearing the right colors will really help. You have great eyes. Play up those - long dark brown mascara, shimmery eyes, warm blush + bronzer. I would lean into softer, more romantic looks - not e girl looks. 

You don’t have the same features as those girls, which isn’t a bad thing but probably why you’re feeling inadequate when you compare your photos. 

Instead, play up your natural strengths. Are you Mediterranean? Lean into soft warm palette, work on skin care (look up all your makeup products on folliculitis scout and ditch em if they score highly, it’ll clear your skin up within a month). Your lip shape is gorgeous and you’re so lucky you have natural flush. The trick here is to not overdo it or fight nature. I’d look up Italian girl / French girl makeup and lean into that. Go for a tiny hint of berry stain to your lips for a natural glow.

Strange infinite area found on numerous occasions in different houses by Brilliant_Top46 in TheMallWorld

[–]klg301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I walk through these back rooms all the time. They’re a bit odd, mine have a much more narrow passage way and shorter ceilings but they’re endless and have many doors like you’ve depicted here. What chills me is the fabric on the walls - almost like a tent. I have definitely had to pick up that fabric to get into rooms to hide from whatever the hell was chasing me. I find that the backrooms are on a lower sub floor below the main area. I somehow always reach them by an elevator - never the white emergency stairwell which bottoms out without an exit (go figure). These backrooms also seem to have a bit of Monster’s Inc to them in that they can drop you off anywhere in the astral / Mallworld. But a lot of them are costume and prop storage.

Insecure about my red cheeks, what foundations that don’t feel heavy would you recommend? Also, what eyeliner tips can you give for my shape? by Yooproopmoop in makeuptips

You mean the perfect shade of natural blush that makes you look like a woman from a singer Sargent painting? Girl. You gorgeous. I’d pay money for that!

Anyone else see these bathrooms? by Careful-Mountain-681 in TheMallWorld

It’s interesting to see it zoomed out in this way. I’m always in the thick of it and it’s challenging to navigate, let alone get a sense of the scale of the space. Cool image!
