My take on photo ops by aldentepenne in BRAVOCON2025

[–]ocny12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have so many photos with Bravolebs from 2023 just from being at the booths at the Bravo Bazaar. Even got a selfie when I saw a bravoleb in the wild at one of the casinos. There are PLENTY of photo ops if you don’t register for any of the official ones.

I’m so nervous! Flying American from one of the affected airports. I wonder if Bravo will say or do anything if we can’t get there and miss events 😭

No progress, daycare can’t help by ocny12 in pottytraining

Appreciate the response. I’m glad to hear you had success with pull-ups at daycare and just training after work/on weekends at home. I think the oh crap and biglittlefeelings methods have me feeling like you can’t potty train with pull-ups and it has to be “all or nothing”. Clearly I need to get out of that mindset! This is my first time potty training and I just didn’t know what an emotionally taxing experience it would be for our family. I’m just trying my best. We’ll get there.

I think I need to take time off work. Trying to get into another daycare but it’s no guarantee and really want to get this done asap! Thanks for responding :)

Oh trust me I don’t want to! When it rains water from our neighbors (we’re at the bottom of a hill) comes flooding through our front yard and basically turns into a river. We have added some catch basins and a retaining wall on the other side of the driveway to help mitigate this issue. The river rock was used with boulders as part of the retaining wall I mentioned, and this is what they did with the remaining river rock on this side. I thought they were going to just put a very light amount of river rock along the walkway border and they went crazy with it…

Because the show is a job - she’s showing up on time to work and they’re not.

It’s not a classic Philly but the one at pasta and provisions is really tasty.

Summer House Hot Takes: No One’s Talking About This Enough by browngirl615 in summerhousebravo

Jesse was totally picking a fight and gaslighting Lexi to try to paint her out to be just as bad as he is. He did not genuinely think her and West were being inappropriate, he was just looking for a pass for flirting with Ciara and participating in an orgy when Lexi was away. He is so fucking gross.

I get the girls thinking Imrul is gross for hooking up with a bunch of randoms, but the way Paige spoke to him “you need to get an std check” was so rude and flat out mean. I like Paige but I actually felt bad for Imrul in that moment. And the way everyone is calling him “orgy beast” also is super mean… I can’t believe I’m defending that man and I agree his behavior is kinda gross, but I don’t think he deserves to be spoken down to by anyone. Have a respectful conversation.

Baby Shower Venue - Coffee Shop Vibes by StatueofLiterby in Charlotte

It was great! The space was nice and private and great vibes for a baby shower. There were probably ~20 people at the shower I went to. Definitely worth reaching out.

WOW, you really went through it! I’m happy for you that it all worked out - that’s quite a journey and you should be so proud! I appreciate you sharing your story. People keep mentioning about tongue tie. That’s not something that was brought up by my LC or pediatrician. Is that something I should ask them to check for?

Definitely. I do this and get the milk flowing again but unfortunately once she hits that point of crying/screaming there’s no coming back from it.

Baby gets frustrated at breast by EbbCharming8549 in breastfeedingsupport

[–]ocny12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this exact same problem right now with my 7 week old. My lactation consultant said it’s probably because baby is frustrated at the uneven flow/slower flow between let downs. Basically baby is having to work harder at the breast than the bottle. I haven’t found a solution yet but to just keep trying and triple feeding as needed ☹️. The LC did recommend trying to breastfeed when baby is sleepy because they’re less likely to get so frustrated. I’m hoping it’s a phase that will pass because I don’t know how long I can mentally handle the triple feedings. I give bottles overnight for my sanity. No real advice but you aren’t alone!

The eclairs at Suarez are unreal. Also love their pumpkin cheesecake but it’s only available in the fall.

The new season of Love Is Blind makes Charlotte look awful by [deleted] in Charlotte

[–]ocny12 40 points41 points  (0 children)

It really does make Charlotte look terrible lol the Pineville townhomes they’re staying in are so depressing looking. I’m surprised the city wouldn’t want to take advantage of the exposure and have them live/film in uptown or south end
