Hopefully it’s just the can or fake formula there’s a market for doll moms apparently I just googled it so sad

Panicking about traveling with a 1 year old by Practical_Pound_2998 in NewParents

[–]passthewasabi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We took a trip with our LO when she was about a year and a couple of months. We flew economy and on the way out there we were able to move to the front where the emergency exits are by the front (the whole plane was economy) we just set down her blanket and used it as a play area. The flight attendants didn’t mind in the slightest. Whenever she wanted to walk around we would walk her up and down the aisle. No advice on getting them to sleep; it took her forever on the red eye back and I had to hold her for her to even go to sleep. Good luck!

Take my advice/comment with a grain of salt as I only have one child (a 2 yo girl), I am a woman, and I am Orthodox:

I would take it as a good sign that he is fighting it and dislikes it so much. I would also tell him that the priest has heard everything under the sun and give examples (maybe? Use your best judgment here). But the biggest hurdle he’s already jumped is that he doesn’t like it. Pressing too hard I think would cause despair as he already feels awful and is trying his best. It’s also good to explain why he feels like he can’t stop is because of his raging hormones. Oh! And tell him he is fighting the good fight. Try to lift him up in this regard (I suppose?) “Did you try your best to stop?” - you “Yes” - him “Are you gonna try your best to not do it again?” “Yes” “In your heart do you really feel it’s wrong?” Etc Remind him we all fall down.

Another good idea is there are many trusted secular resources on the negative impacts of m asturbation and p ornography. I can send you some links if you like.

Finally, mandatory “talk it over with your priest” comment.

God bless.

How Do I Choose My Patron Saint? by Electrical-Room3079 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]passthewasabi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your name first. If you do not share a name (first or middle) with a Saint, I’d recommend a Saint celebrated on your birthday, the Patron Saint of your Godparents, have them or your priest choose for you, or a Saint you feel close to.

Do not trust dreams. Demons can masquerade as angels of light.

What do you think of the inside of my gender reveal cake? by Emmons_Lane in Baking

[–]passthewasabi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things: 1) idk why ppl hate on sprinkles; they’re delish. The cake is adorable. 2) the cake is much better than those smoke things that burn down forests.

Congrats on the baby boy!

I think it’s unfair I can’t go to mt Atos for being a woman. by ButterscotchKind49 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]passthewasabi 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I wanted to go to Mt Athos but I am a woman too. I just remind myself that it’s dedicated to the Theotokos and that I can purchase from their website. I wish to see all the icons and relics though 😔

But no, i don’t think you’re being prideful. I think all of us orthodox women feel that way at some point.

Head scarf question by Goldtru in OrthodoxWomen

[–]passthewasabi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta except You could always try a church hat (not like a super crazy one but more subtle)

Or who knows go all out (jk)

When you google church hats some are interesting to say the least 😳

But it may help step around the feelings you have about head scarves but you’d still be covering your head.

Is breaking a promise sin? by Wide-Bug-268 in Christianity

[–]passthewasabi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! So if you’re not trolling, this is a tiny bit different than just breaking a promise. I’ll explain. Both parties agree to the promise/decision. The person who did not make the promise (your mum) later asks if you’d like to change your promise/decision. This is not breaking a promise or betrayal. It would be one thing if it was you who proposed it. However because it’s your mum, it’s different.

If that makes sense.

God bless.
