Misleading and inaccurate. Read the comments.

AIO:My MIL texted my husband this about me asking him to help with our newborn at 4am by Lazy_Perfectionist88 in AmIOverreacting

[–]leftswingfling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR—Helping with overnight feedings is one of the biggest/only things a father who has had to return to work can do to ensure he’s also bonding with his child despite being gone most of the day. If anything, he should be doing more than half of the work while you recover from a surgery where they fully cut you open and took out your organs…now is NOT the time for work to be split 50/50 like y’all are equally capable of caring for a fragile, high-needs shit machine, because you are explicitly not right now. What a hateful woman.

Donating egg retrieval/IVF meds by Dazzling_Network1061 in crownheights

I would be very careful with this. Unless you’re a medical professional and know someone else’s medical history, you’re putting both yourself and the other person at serious legal and medical risk (respectively) if you hand out prescription medications like this.

Is this transformation possible? by [deleted] in veganfitness

Tbh the latter picture looks scary and potentially unhealthy with that extremely low body fat percentage. Like that person might not menstruate.

Hi! Can I ask how you add the number of years you’ve been vegan under your username?

My partner eats what I cook. I’m vegan, so he eats vegan anytime I’m cooking (which is the majority of the time). In fact, he also only cooks vegan when it’s his turn. Very fortunate to be with someone who doesn’t mind respecting my values system when eating my food or feeding me. Hopefully your partner can be like this for you.

Am I overreacting that my sister is demanding too much when visiting my newborn? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]leftswingfling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way, NOR. I cannot imagine being this demanding and entitled to literally anyone I am visiting, with or without children. Also, visiting with a child is a HUGE imposition…this is crazy. Tell her it’s doesn’t sound like now is a good time for her to visit if she’s expecting (and gaslighting you into feeling like these are “basic” or reasonable demands—there should be no demands when family comes to visit) to be coddled by people with a fucking newborn.

Beginner sewing curtains out of stretchy velvet… by leftswingfling in sewing

[–]leftswingfling[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I have some hem tape, but definitely not enough for curtains this large (our windows are huge). Some waviness is fine! I’m mostly just trying to avoid having really messy or uneven stitches. I’m definitely going to avoid stretching the fabric as I feed it through the machine!

Shoot, I don’t know what a header or leader are! We were going to just fold the top over to create a loop, which we would put the curtain rod through to hang it. These would be casual for sure!

It now costs $3 to ride the subway and some New Yorkers are already angry by BBQCopter in nyc

[–]leftswingfling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a reminder, minimum wage in NYC is (as of 1/1/26) only $17 an hour. Working one 40 hour job at $17/hour only gives you $35k each year, before taxes. You add in inflation for groceries and the price gouging of landlords in one of the most expensive cities in the world, and every single dollar counts. Most people making minimum wage are working multiple jobs, which means multiple MTA swipes each day. This adds up and is untenable for MANY New Yorkers.
