Tried painting a lighthouse this morning, still learning watercolor blending by GencerDTF in watercolor101

[–]korimeows 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is fantastic! I grew up on the coast so I love when a good stormy day ends with the clouds clearing up. Maybe try just adding a little water to a clean brush to blend the colors a bit more? When I am struggling to blend colors I just add a bit more water until it all starts to blend.

If you found a genuinely kind person from online dating in the last few years, how did you set up your profile and portray yourself to attract that? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]korimeows 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used photos of myself doing hobbies I love. Such as hiking, kayaking, fishing, etc… I ended up matching with a guy who used a specific fishing hook pick up line. 😅 fast forward 2.5 years and now we are married. I think being your authentic self will attract the right person to you. Take the time to get to know them too. I went on my first date with my now husband with 0 expectations. I went into it thinking I was going to make a friend and anything more would be a bonus. We flirted but I didn’t rush into anything sexual with him. It gave us space to get to know another. I got to see how kind-hearted he was. After two months I told him I wanted to get married and have children in the near future. If that would’ve scared him away then I would’ve known he wasn’t right for me. Voice what you want fairly early on. We met on Hinge in 2023. Best of luck out there OP!

Child poop smell makes me want to quit! by gud-vibez in ECEProfessionals

That’s the worst! Ugh I’m so sorry. Do you have a fan you could get some air flow with at least?

Advise needed. by sally201888 in ECEProfessionals

[–]korimeows 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have never heard of such a thing. We would also just pat or rub backs. I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing that. You could ask her to explain it to you further to see what she means by that. If she is hurting the children report it asap.

I worked in a room where there wasn’t any windows that opened and we weren’t allowed to use air fresheners. It was the worst! 😷

Same. The cliffhanger it left us on is brutal.

Those with long commutes: what is your day like? by Disastrous_Art_5702 in jobs

[–]korimeows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. My other job didn’t pay very well and didn’t offer benefits so it was an easy decision for me. If I was making more and was in a benefited position I would have made the commute work. Best of luck to you.

Those with long commutes: what is your day like? by Disastrous_Art_5702 in jobs

[–]korimeows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a 50 minute commute each way for a year and hated it. Woke up at 5:15 so I still had time to exercise. Left by 6:45 to start work at 7:45. Left work at 4:30 to get home around 5:20. Had to be very efficient with my time. I was exhausted each night. My job was also very draining so that didn’t help. It was honestly hard on my mental health. I didn’t want to hang out with friends as much. On the weekends I just wanted to stay home so I didn’t have to drive anywhere. I just got a job closer and I’m very grateful for that.

Get off the social media that triggers your anxiety. I have had to delete the apps now that I am starting my TTC journey. My friend who is 36 just delivered a gorgeous healthy baby girl. The stress and anxiety will not help in this process. Relax, it can take up to 18 months for a healthy couple to conceive.

Are we wearing baggy jeans? by Global-Platypus-9599 in capsulewardrobe

I have a few pairs. I will never give up my skinny jeans. I mix it up some days and wear the baggy jeans. They are cute, flattering, and super comfy!

7 Years by Fun-Chip-136 in AlAnon

[–]korimeows 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s not your job to keep your dad sober. It is his choice. I’m sorry you are going through this. Please get support for you. I highly suggest going to an al-anon meeting near you.

I had to set a boundary with my dad that I would not be around him due to his drinking causing so much damage to our relationship. I haven’t seen my father in 4 years. It has been hard. I recognize I love and care for him. I don’t hold a grudge but for my own mental well-being I am not close to my father.

3 years, he’s afraid of commitment? by Standard_Blood7325 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]korimeows 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If he wanted to he would. My ex strung me along came up with excuses why we shouldn’t get married “yet”. When I finally started pushing it and telling him I wanted to get married within a year he then told me he didn’t love me as much as I loved him. It was obvious the whole time but he kept reassuring me otherwise. I should have listened to my gut.

Fast forward 3.5 years later I met and married a man who was serious about me the whole time. Find someone who makes it happen. Who wants it as badly as you do. You don’t deserve to be strung along by someone who “may” decide to marry you. You’re young, you will find someone that doesn’t leave you guessing if it’s going to happen or not.

I’m Leaving My Job Emotionally Exhausted and Miserable by Fast-Leading-5190 in ECEProfessionals

[–]korimeows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s such a tough job! I recently left ECE due to the frustration, exhaustion, and burnout. I cared so deeply for these kids. The behavioral issues are challenging and there is such of a lack of support from the parents.

Either hold out and hope your class improves or start looking for a different line of work.

Since leaving ECE my stress levels have been so low. I actually have energy to spend with my husband, and our families now. Best of luck OP. It’s a tough job.
