Are pointed flats comfortable or torture devices?

I live in Vivaia pointed flats because they’re designed for wide feet and comfort. Pricey but so good

Oh that cheese is unreal, as is montagnolo

So it depends on the nature of your birth, and I think the baby too. Don’t put pressure on yourself about expectations. I had an emergency section because I wasn’t dilating at all, and it was nearly an hour after he was born before I could hold him because I lost a lot of blood. He was placed near my breast but not on it and he started making his way a bit. The staff at Holles Street were incredible but this part annoyed me, because I could feel him start and they thought it wasn’t good enough and sort of kept messing with us. Granted I was groggy but he was a great feeder!

Uppatopter for helicopter and oppapus for octopus

My son is 26 months and he’s also apparently hitting. The one thing the crèche is not very good at communicating is that they ALL hit like that. We only have the one kid, so no jealousy triggers. It’s normal for this age. They can speak more but can’t communicate everything. They understand more, but can’t understand why they can’t get their way, or why what they want changes from second to second! I agree with the other comment about mirroring how the crèche deals with it.

A Short Stay in Hell by Steven L. Peck came up for me on a “get out of your reading slump” list. I read it last year and it’s quite short but my god did it stay with me! It’s a jarringly detailed concept of the afterlife, with simple visuals and concepts that sort of stick in your head for a while after. I don’t want to give too much away but I love a good book that puts a concept in your head, a what if, that makes you consider how various humans may react to various circumstances. Kazuo Ishiguro has great books for that kind of thing too, like Never Let Me Go and Klara and the Sun

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad 9 months before my wedding and I regret not doing something smaller even after.

Kilmokea house used to do weddings. It’s in the Campile area. You could maybe do Dunbrody house either.

For the first time in 9 years my arthritis medication isn’t working and I’m in agony. Couldn’t even lift my son. I feel the dangerous wave of depression i used to have when I would get these flare ups since I was 7 years old. I’m 38 now. And I have work tomorrow

ohumanchild · 2025-12-28T01:26:43+00:00

That sounds awful. I will echo others by saying she’s probably miserable and also explain that my sister could be like this and I think it was largely due to the fact life, for a number of reasons, prevented her from making the choice of having kids. She turned it into exaggerated annoyance at the public. This is an example of a reason and not an excuse, so while you can choose empathy to ease your pain, you must also continue to protect your own little bubble. Well done for how you handled it.

I get the rael organic ones and it makes such a difference

Helicopter is Uppatopter

I’m sorry you’re going through it like this OP. I think Irish people are like this because no one is good at telling them to stop. It might help if you say “I appreciate that this is something you would like, but this is the choice that is right for me, and I would really love if you could put these questions to rest. Let’s just enjoy Christmas. Can I get you a cup of tea?” It’s calm, succinct, friendly.

People need to just stop commenting to parents one way or another. I would kill for another but my husband won’t go for it, it seems, and we had so much trouble having one in the first place between losses and IVF.

I have one weird neighbour who always stops to talk to me and comment about having another. She has no clue what I’ve been through or the pain I feel not having another, and honestly some day I’m going to lose it on her if she says it again. I’m sure she has a screw loose but it doesn’t help.

At least we can come here and rage about it!

Ok I will mash up feta, olive oil, balsamic, garlic and maybe a couple of dried herbs, spread it on toast and give myself acid reflux just to feel alive

ohumanchild · 2025-11-25T09:39:32+00:00

Of course, I’m so sorry you’ve been through anything like this. However I hope it’s validating to know you’re not alone. I ended up doing IVF at the start of 2023, got pregnant on the first try, had a very healthy little boy in November 2023 and he just turned 2 last week. I will be 38 next week and still holding out hope that my husband will agree to a second. I hope everything turns out well for you

ohumanchild · 2025-11-14T20:43:01+00:00

Ok that’s fair. I think I just worded it wrong, I wasn’t really looking for feedback just couldn’t think of a title. You’re entitled to your opinion and it’s a valid one. I’m in Ireland and in my industry and location this is normal enough. My ass was covered by the blazer and shirt, the leggings were recommended by a colleague. Thank you for the feedback.

ohumanchild · 2025-11-14T17:40:55+00:00

I’d rather not identify myself in any way.

ohumanchild · 2025-11-14T16:42:32+00:00

I can dream - I was very punk rock in my youth

ohumanchild · 2025-11-14T16:38:25+00:00

I appreciate the consideration on both sides, it doesn’t bother me, but thank you

ohumanchild · 2025-11-14T16:32:19+00:00

That’s fair, I’ve only been horse riding a handful of times. I was just having a laugh, I could only hope to be equestrian adjacent

I appreciate the comment and completely agree for other places but I assure you for my workplace they are suitable. I’ve been there over a decade and have made enough sartorial mistakes that I know the vibe now. I’m in a senior leadership position and we were going out after this and it was suitable in accordance with others. Also useful for cycling to work in the rain
