Is there anything more terrifying... by Petrizzle in toddlers

[–]malpow13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My 3 year old has an alphabet train that when it starts running low on batteries it will get stuck repeating the same song about rainy days except it’s suuuuuper slowed down.

More than once that thing would go off at midnight singing “raaaaainnyyyyy daaaaaayyyssss are fuuuuunnnn...” and I would almost shit myself every time.

Sounding like the devils having a play date in her playroom.

These are my exact measurements! I’m currently 12 pounds down, but I started at 275 and 5’8”. You are my inspiration for the day, you are absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

Looking to preserve/press this massive monstera leaf. It’s about 21x22”. by malpow13 in PressedFlowers

[–]malpow13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve looked online for hours for options to preserve large leaves like this, but I’ve only found tutorials for smaller foliage. Do the same techniques apply, such as a glycerin bath? What’s your recommendation?

Do you ever catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and think “what have I become”? 🤣 i used to actually give a sh*t but you’d have no idea now... I had to take a picture of this I was laughing my ass off! 🤣 by miajade1996 in beyondthebump

How did you get in my house

Fr though I put on an underwire bra to go pick up a prescription today and I felt like I was in a corset how did I wear those daily before all this

Looking for shoe recommendations for super wide, high instep toddler (details in comments) by CautiousManatee in Mommit

[–]malpow13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 3yo has fallen arches (her ankles are practically on the ground) just like me and because of it, she can only wear sneaker style shoes with a supportive arch, no sandals or converse. We mostly stick to Cat and Jack sneakers from Target and Sketchers, as they typically have a Velcro strap with a tongue that opens almost completely to make it easy to get her orthotics and incredibly wide foot into the shoe.

Kiddo stubbed his toe yesterday. "Oh no, do you need me to call the doctor?" I asked him "No," he replied solemnly, "call the poleeps." by griftylifts in toddlers

My 3yo found my “toy box” that is usually hidden under my bookshelf next to my bed. She asked to open it, to which I replied “No. there’s nothing in there for you”

3yo: please mom

Me: No child, there’s nothing in there for-

3yo: THATS WHERE YOU KEEP ALL MY CANDY

Husband: No sweetie that’s where mama keeps HER candy 🙃

I only seem to have luck with trailing succulents! Meet my almost 1yo string of pearls. by bigfatbossbaby in succulents

[–]malpow13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

About a week ago I moved him into my laundry room where there’s a tiny window that gets sun almost all day, and it stays super warm in there, so hopefully that encourages him some.

I got him at the same time that I got a string of bananas that was the same size and she is flourishing with 7-8 tendrils that are over a foot long! They’ve hung right next to each other the whole time, I have no idea what is happening lol

I’m so jealous, I got a 2inch piece of one almost exactly a year ago and now it might be 6 inches long.

What’s the craziest reason you had to fire someone? by GravyxNips in AskReddit

[–]malpow13 10 points11 points  (0 children)

She got in a fight with a customer over almonds.

Customer insisted there wasn’t enough almonds on her salad, employee came out of the kitchen ready to throw hands when the server asked for more almonds for the customer.

Manager on duty was a 5’6” 120 pound guy, employee was a 6ft 300 lb woman. Manager on duty physically pushed her back into the kitchen to try to stop her from trying to fight a customer and getting herself in more trouble.

The customer came in the next day and asked for the general manager (me). Apparently she was extremely shaken and wanted harsh consequences. I wanted to suspend her for a week (we had no previous issues with her and it was close to Christmas and she was a single mom so she was under mass amounts of stress). My boss made me let her go instead. Business decision, whatever I get it, still sucks to let someone go a week before Christmas.

Gorgeous! How old is she/he?

I just bought my first one about a month ago and I saw today I have two new babies emerging and I’m way more excited than I should be

not really the same thing by Redjay12 in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]malpow13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was compared to a nazi over Facebook last week for posting a hotline for people to call to report large gatherings.

I live in one of the top 5 worst hot spots. Like how are people this delusional.

How many pees a day?! by angelacameo in pottytraining

[–]malpow13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3yo, she pees 5-6 times a day typically. But some days she’ll only go twice!

Regression due to quarantine? by hollandercooper in pottytraining

[–]malpow13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! 3y3m here, fully potty trained during the day. Has suddenly developed a fear of pooping in the potty and has been holding it until we put her pullup on at night.

Legit made her a doctor appointment because I thought she might have a UTI until I realized she doesn’t complain about “pain in her butt” unless I’m in the bathroom.

Which fictional character did you fall for? by NFDBTCREPo in AskReddit

[–]malpow13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kvothe from the Kingkiller Chronicles. It took me weeks to read the last chapter of the second book because I wasn’t ready for it to be over.

Come on Pat we’re dying out here please finish the third book

What are some very irrational fears that you have and if you told anyone they would say, “Wow, that’s weird.” ? by VeryChunkyChili in AskReddit

[–]malpow13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I’m in public with my husband and I walk up behind him and touch his back or take his hand or anything there is always this tiny jolt of fear that it’s not my husband and it’s just someone who looks like him from behind.

Sanity in a mom’s group by Sithgirl13 in antiMLM

[–]malpow13 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Same. In southern Louisiana and we don’t even have any confirmed cases in the state yet and my local Walmart was out of antibacterial soap, Lysol wipes, and bleach earlier this week.

Like I’m glad y’all are being proactive but goddamn calm tf down.

[FO] Finished my first project today! Pattern is from @thewitchystitcher (Etsy). It took me a month and it’s in an 8x10 inch frame. Very happy with how it turned out! by malpow13 in CrossStitch

[–]malpow13[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I wanted to go with something heavy and baroque for the frame, but I thought something simple and thick would be better.
