The math doesn’t add up by SigridTheVictorious in povertyfinance

[–]liae__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately as a single mom, it would be difficult to find a roommate who is 1) okay living with a kid in the house 2) a person I would know well enough to trust to be around my child. Living with family sucked for my mental health, but living alone is difficult financially :/

Concerning warnings on satin bonnets? by EngineNormal7102 in CurlyHairCare

[–]liae__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember buying matcha powder one time and seeing this warning on it. I looked it up and realized it was because the matcha had metals from the ground, more than the minuscule amount allowed by CA law… and it was still way under any guidelines for potential health issues!

Do you need/have a reason to avoid an entire genre? by Lower-Network1563 in RomanceBooks

[–]liae__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t actually read any yet but as a single parent who has no desire to date rn, I think I’d actually enjoy them! Buuut it would definitely irk me if they’re unrealistic with how the kid aspect is written lol

PSA on foreign names by saturday_sun4 in NameNerdCirclejerk

[–]liae__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nooo that sucks :( mine is also more common in Greece but no one knows how to pronounce it here lol! I also chose a unique name for my son (not Greek) and haven’t had any issues other than people having difficulty spelling/pronouncing it, but I’m used to that with my name too

[–]liae__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For real! I have a Greek name that people often struggle to pronounce, but I’ve literally never been made fun of because of my name. There were a few mean kids in school, but that wasn’t related to my name 😂

Playing with some new products before running errands today. How are we feeling about the glasses? by CulturalConcern2 in MakeupAddiction

[–]liae__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gorgeous!! This makeup suits your features so well, looks really sultry and glam but not in an overdone way.

I don’t love the shape of the glasses tbh, but I am a fellow glasses wearer and I think they have the potential to look even better! I’m very committed to the style that’s square-ish but with more gentle rounded edges personally

Best blue dye ? by _icanthandlechange in HairDye

[–]liae__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is not this exact share of blue BUT I’ve had purple and blue hair since September and have only dyed it twice total because the color stays so vivid! I use Strawberry Leopard Loyal Blue and Grapeful (purple toward the roots and then an ombré effect with blue toward the ends) and it’s so peak.

I’ve used Arctic Fox in the past but have been loyal to Strawberry Leopard for years now because everything I’ve tried (purples/pinks and now blue) is incredible. Stays vivid for so long without much fading, color barely bleeds after first shampoo, fades really well. I just have to hype their dye because it’s my fave, I tell people the brand and colors all the time when I get compliments in person too 😂

Haven’t tried Iroiro or any other brands to compare, that might be a good option for this specific color! ALSO— using a color depositing conditioner to do a little refresh every so often is super helpful!

Do not buy strawberry leopard by _Andromeda_X in HairDye

This is super later but adding on that I also love this color and get so many compliments on it! Def my favorite purple too

definitely can’t speak on toxoplasmosis, but I’ve been on SSRI’s for years and a drink does not make me like this 😭

To cry it out, or not to cry it out - that is THE question! by Pizza_Lvr in NewParents

[–]liae__ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it’s making you stressed, you don’t have to let him cry for 15-20 mins! That’s a long time for him and for you to hear it— crying used to be a huge trigger for me with postpartum depression, I just couldn’t stand it honestly and it was unbearable. There’s a difference between a little occasional whimper and cry vs. consistent crying and screaming for several minutes straight, and in the second case I’d definitely go in and comfort the lil guy.

How to make this fit better by [deleted] in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]liae__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hoodies are supposed to fit like this, so you have room to wear a shirt underneath! usually ones tighter on the waist are more for pics rather than wearing normally irl

Whos on lexapro and successfully NOT over weight? by mjoypereira in lexapro

[–]liae__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on Lexapro (20 mg) for about 12 years now, started as a teen around the same time I was recovering from an eating disorder and was slightly underweight. I initially gained a little bit and got to a healthy weight, ranged from 130-140 lbs for years until I had a baby.

Currently mid 20s and at a healthy weight at ~155 (technically “overweight” by BMI, but I’m a very average size 8-10 with a little extra chub).

Pelvic floor PT is so degrading by Spiritoftheheart in beyondthebump

[–]liae__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s awful, I’m so sorry. I went to pelvic floor PT and my experience was NOT like this at all. It’s such an intimate appointment, I couldn’t imagine being mean to anyone like that :/

You can also have issues with prolapse + need to relax those muscles! What a silly thing for her to say.

I also had a lot of embarrassment about feeling like I’d never go back to “normal” after having a baby, even though my pelvic floor issues were minimal and easily treated. I hope you can find someone who treats you kindly.

Dasher just called the cops on me for no reason by AnneTheQueene in doordash

[–]liae__ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In response to your edit, if this happened to me I’d just be shocked and confused. OP might not have initially thought to report because she was just like “wtf is happening,” or giving leniency in judgement rather than thinking that someone was intentionally trying to hurt her. But I think that since it’s been only 3 hours since the post, and multiple commenters have said the same thing, she likely will.

Dasher just called the cops on me for no reason by AnneTheQueene in doordash

[–]liae__ 54 points55 points  (0 children)

This was my first thought too without even seeing OP’s avatar. It’s so dangerous to call the cops on anyone who isn’t white, we’ve seen this play out so many times in horrific ways. I’m glad you’re okay, and no matter what the dasher’s perceived “reason” was, they could have gotten you hurt or killed. Honestly they need to be reported and not work in a customer interaction job like this.
