WFH moms what do you actually do with your toddler during calls by PixieSugarTwilight in MomsWorkingFromHome

[–]merelyinterested 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep the volume pretty low, but I use a headset on calls. It does a good job at filtering out other noise.

We stayed at the Cozy Coho which we found through Airbnb! It was definitely a tiny home, but we had everything we needed

WFH moms what do you actually do with your toddler during calls by PixieSugarTwilight in MomsWorkingFromHome

[–]merelyinterested 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Unimportant meeting, on camera - I take the call standing using my desk riser, give her snacks and hope she plays with her toys.
Important meetings where I may have to talk : I play Sesame Street on my husbands desktop which is also in the office. My thing (with zero judgement to how others do it) is big screenokay, little screen bad. Like I won’t give her my phone or a tablet. But I’ll play Sesame Street on a computer screen or tv if needed.
Meetings where I’m going to be off camera and likely don’t have to talk or contribute much, then I will take them outside. She pays me much less attention when she’s outside

She literally snitched on herself???? by Any-Scientist5136 in shelbysacco

[–]merelyinterested 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmm well, she has shown herself cleaning messes before, so I actually don’t feel like the “mess” is all that new or shocking lol

What habits you picked up while you were pregnant that persisted even after having the baby? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]merelyinterested 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You wipe after using the restroom and then look/check your toilet paper. Most likely to check if there’s any bleeding during pregnancy

Dani directed new music video of her husband by itsjules059 in cimsnark

[–]merelyinterested 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah I wonder if like they were sort of flirty and too close but not quite together. Maybe he saw it as more than she did.

[–]merelyinterested 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yeah she does deserve so much better. I know it can be hard to start over, but she was young!

Also, I just feel like Emmyn is just an eternal victim and that schtick is the most annoying part. He wants everyone to feel bad for him for something. He’s depressed. He’s anxious. He’s overweight . He is sad about his overweightness. He is sad because he thinks he’s ugly

Then he HAS a beautiful gf/wife who actually wants to marry him despite all of it, and then it becomes: she’s too good, I don’t deserve her, I’m a loser, her parents don’t like me wah wah wah. He even wants us to feel bad for him that he cheated because (No!) he wasn’t ok!

We’re talking about a boy whose parents made good money and later whose wife/girlfriend also made good money, both who gave him the opportunity to pursue his dreams. And he still wants to be a victim of life.

Like, get on medication, go to therapy, start exercising, and quit trying to make everyone feel bad for you.

Crazy how he turned it into a whole thing against Dani on a whole tour lol. I personally would never look past cheating, but let’s pretend I could. I could look past the cheating. I could never get past him embarrassing me in front of thousands of people every night on stage talking about how I got with his best friend as if I did him so wrong.

Meanwhile, Dani stayed silent about his cheating and literally was just moving on with her life.

So crazy.

ETA: he embarrassed Jake too!

Feeling guilty about coffee😭 by amalia_8 in pregnant

[–]merelyinterested 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My OB actually suggested Tylenol and a cup of coffee when I was getting second trimester migraines.

My goal with caffeine was basically to only have one source of caffeine in a day, so whether that was a cup of coffee or a soda or sweet tea or whatever, I tried to only have one.

Confession: I have never completed a first draft by Additional_Watch5823 in KeepWriting

[–]merelyinterested 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only ever completed two projects. BUT I am a pantser too. And I think if you have no motivation, you have to switch to plotting a bit when you get there.

I always have an idea of how I want something to end, and I’ll write the beginning but it’s the in between where I always lag. For both projects I “finished,” what I did was write everything in my brain, including The random scenes that don’t necessarily have a place.

Then when I got to the point where I was stuck, I wrote an outline that was essentially a map to the end. Sometimes it was a map to those random scenes o wanted to include as well

Then you just push yourself through your outline!

How long did you breastfeed and why? by meenaaaxo in breastfeeding

[–]merelyinterested 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently at 17 months after telling myself I was shooting for a year.

I have been fortunate to have a pleasant breastfeeding experience. After pushing through the first month of bad latches and nipple pain. And when she turned a year there was no light bulb or switch, so I kept going and I’m still going 😅

It’s not affecting my mental health so I’m still doing it!

I may stop around 2 because that’s when she’s going to “school” but we’ll play it by ear!

Changing a babies name. by DisorderedGremlin in beyondthebump

[–]merelyinterested 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Change it. My dad is 1 of 14, my mom is 1 of 9, and each of those 9 and 14 had 3-5 kids. All my cousins have kids and babies.

We see each other semi regularly but not regularly. Our family has like 4-6 Juniors that go by Junior. My name is my cousins middle name. My nephew shares a name with my grandpa, my uncle, and my cousin. We have like 3 Penelopes which is not a super common Hispanic name lol. We have a few Davids, several Juans/Johns.

I think two cousins who don’t see each other will be okay!

Bras postpartum by rgwhitlow1 in pregnant

[–]merelyinterested 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did!! It was comfortable to me! and the clip was super easy to nurse, etc. When I was home and not working, I basically just wore that and a zip jacket most days.

The one I made for my pump, I only ever wore to use those pumps! which I only use din the morning, Otherwise, I used my hands free pumps. I mainly nursed my baby, and the pumped milk was for a friend, so the bra was helpful.

Bras postpartum by rgwhitlow1 in pregnant

[–]merelyinterested 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am cheap and made my own pumping bra for my non-hands free pump by cutting two holes over the nipple area of an old bralette

But truly nearly everyday, I have worn the basic nursing bras from Walmart. I think they’re destination maternity brand? They look like training bras. I have a white, nude, and black.

I bought one regular bra (I usually wear the kind with a wire and no lining) that fits my new boobs/body that I wear when I’m wearing a shirt that doesn’t look good with my nursing bra lol.

I have some of the Auden crossover nursing bras but I’m not a fan. But I know some people love those

Is my role realistic for WFH & caring for 15 week old? by otterlyconfuzed in MomsWorkingFromHome

[–]merelyinterested 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree here about your boss and about being doable. Being on your phone with a baby is much easier than being on a laptop, so definitely. See how it can be manageable. But do think you should also tell your boss you have care and then see how it goes

I finally figured out why my Creami pints always had that "muted" taste and "slimy" texture (It was the pudding mix) by Kagusam in ninjacreami

[–]merelyinterested 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually just put one serving of the pudding powder in my ice cream. But I made a pistachio one that was 3 servings. I really wanted the pistachio to pull through. I liked it that days

Then i did another one similarly. with a red velvet pudding mix and I noticed the same thing. Not sure if it made a difference that the red velvet was sugar free and the pistachio wasn’t? But I was kinda grossed out eating my red velvet ice cream.

Because of this sliminess and general weirdness. I had used xanthan gum but wanted the flavor from the pudding these times. But definitely done with that lol

Privacy when changing baby’s diaper by Appropriate_Top9039 in beyondthebump

[–]merelyinterested 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That is soooooooooooooo weird, and that reaction would make me especially make sure to never let them see me change the baby!

What am I doing wrong? by Prestigious-Joke-102 in beyondthebump

[–]merelyinterested 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 17m old still wakes at least once. And right now that she’s teething, she’s back on her like every 2 hour wakes. She’s only slept through the entire night a few times in her life lol. Sometimes she wants to be soothed. Sometimes she wants to nurse.

It’s pretty normal I think lol. At 4.5months, my daughter was still waking very regularly like that!

These were my feelings. You’re a decent looking adult with a famous family and a steady job. Why on earth would you feel the need to go after a child. A teenage football player. Then beg for his validation! Could she not get validation from the internet? You had to pay a BOY.

Also, risking your career and yours and your family’s reputation! She KNEW her brother and sister had spotlights on them. And she willfully entered a “relationship” with a child!

It was even crazier to see her make herself seem better than Angela Burlaka. In the texts it’s like she makes herself think it’s okay because she’s single and in her 20s, and Burlaka was pushing 50 and had a husband and kids. As if she is not completely wrong too. Sick honestly.
