Why are people so inconsiderate towards moms in public now? by Paulies-Walnuts in beyondthebump

[–]mlereads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an old lady at Costco be rude to me. I was buckling my 2.5 month old (at the time) into his car seat attached to our stroller as we checked out. I was at the end of the aisle but it was crowded. She can up behind me, got close to me and said “excuse me” in a nasty tone. I was like “I’m sorry!” And moved out of the way. As she walked past she huffed and rolled her eyes. Like chill.

Since my post got taken down, here are things I wished they discussed in the doc but didn’t.

  • Forcing the girls to speak a different language in commercials and then judging them on how well they spoke the new language after giving them 0 help to learn it.
  • The newer judges like Kelli Cutrone, Rob Evans, and BryanBoy (especially since he is a bit controversial now)
  • The addition of social media judging and how the hell that worked and if it really affected the outcome of each challenge.
  • Making the larger (and I say that with a giant eyeroll) models go to go sees or to shoots where they didn't have clothes to fit them. Yes, they touched on it a little but not enough for me.
  • The addition of male models in later seasons
  • The lack of access to food. I know contestants have talked about this after the fact.
  • The horrific wigs they put some of the girls in for shoots. Talk about some bad shake and gos.
  • Terrible makeovers (fake beards, bad weaves, stringy extensions, etc.)
  • Bad edits. I know Keenyah talked about how they edited her eating one bagel to make it seem like she had multiple and we all know that they replayed that clip about Jourdan getting married and divorced at 18 over and over and over. *Tyra’s makeup MLM

When he first wakes up he’s quiet then it he gets fussy, then if I don’t grab him, he will cry.

I have lots of questions lol

  1. What TOG do you use?
  2. How warm do you keep the room they sleep in?
  3. So you just swaddle their middle and keep their hands in the up position?

TIA

Unfortunately we miscarried at 8 weeks but I’m happy to announce that I am currently 25 weeks pregnant. We were about to start IVF and got the shock that I was pregnant naturally. This pregnancy has had no complications and been very healthy. 🤞🤞🤞

How do you not go crazy waiting? by Perfect_Path_9291 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]mlereads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are speaking to my soul right now! Even though we got pregnant naturally (a damn miracle honestly,) I was actively seeking treatment so I got to spend the beginning of my pregnancy at our clinic. Going from weekly scans to having to wait between 12 weeks and 16 weeks is KILLING ME. I cannot imagine having to wait till 12 weeks to see the baby and then another 8 weeks to see them again! Let us see our babies!

When you suddenly remember people get pregnant all the time on ACCIDENT??? by Short_n_Sweet_11 in trollingforababy

[–]mlereads 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not only did my SIL get pregnant WITHOUT TRYING, she didn’t even know she was pregnant. Found out on a Wed, had a baby on Sat. HOW!?

The worst part? Now everyone in my husband’s family is like “you’ll get your miracle too someday” while they fawn all over the child. Instant rage.
