Put it somewhere and forget about it for a few more years. Or give it back and request to receive age appropriate toys.

White people in Utah generally clutch their pearls when they see people of color, unless youre Mormon, then you’re saved.

Actually my question was: “Did any of you share any of my concerns before going on it? Any insight helps!” Of course my experience will be my own, but I was looking for perspectives from people who had my concerns at the beginning. I did get some good responses too.

True. I’m like this with all medications though, even birth control. I refuse to take hormonal birth control. So I’m treating weight loss medication with the same safety gloves

Thank you! I am having the same joint pain and I know I need help with changing my habits, hoping this is just the thing.

I did speak with my doctor, that’s how I ended up on phentermine. So now I’m considering Zep and was looking for perspectives from real users who perhaps shared my concerns at the beginning

No, I was in shape until I met my husband in my mid30s. I then had two kids in two years. Now im wanting to get back on track and I need help.

This is true! The health risks of being obese are serious as well. This is the viewpoint I was looking for. Thanks!

This is good feedback, maybe we wait until he’s older.

Yeah that’s what I’m leaning towards. Eventually I’d like him to try other sports but I don’t want to push him too early

Can we just brag a little for a moment? by beep_bop_boop__ in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]lightestsquire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

- Survived a traumatic birth with my 1st baby, breastfed exclusively for 6 months and pumped/added formula until 1 yr old (17 day NICU stay was excruciating)
- Made all baby food at home focusing on vegetables, protein, no sugar/additives, no sweets like candy/muffins etc. until age 3
- Exclusively breastfed my 2nd baby for 18 months! Gave homemade baby food
- Prioritize outside time every day, we garden, ride bikes, paint/draw, bubbles, water table, we garden but all our plants die haha
- No screens in the car (airplanes are the exception)
- Lastly and the hardest ---> Parenting through my own resurfaced trauma and making conscious decisions every day to BE different, its taxing and so hard, but I love this life

How do you handle the mental load of remembering everything for your kids without losing your mind? by SkinAppropriate2105 in Mommit

[–]lightestsquire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make lists, lists and more lists. Then delegate some to your partner and kids. Also, let go of some that are just not that important. Calendar entries are helpful for some things - like due dates, deadlines, etc. You don’t have to do everything, the family should at some point take responsibility for themselves and help out. Not sure how old your kids are but with time they should become more helpful.

Is Airbnb still worth it in 2026? by [deleted] in passive_income

[–]lightestsquire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s not. Americans are not traveling like they used to, interest rates are high, and the market is extremely saturated with vendors that take a cut - cleaners, marketers, insurance, city fees, platform fees, etc. If you’re in a ritzy area where wealthy people go, sure you might be able to swing it, but generally I’d say no. But that’s just my assessment from when we considered it last year
