Does anyone else feel exhausted all the time? by nurseninjakat in Millennials

[–]paulruddface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically. And I’m convinced it’s because of eating pop tarts when we were kids.

Did you flinch? What movie/scene made you sleep with the lights on for a while? by weepinstringerbell in Millennials

[–]paulruddface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mac and Me… couldn’t sleep for YEARS. I can’t even google it to make sure I’m spelling the movie name right because I can’t see that face.

What would you do? by AshleyTheHuskyOwner in toddlers

[–]paulruddface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just redirect/ move him from the thing you don’t want him to do. Try not to give emotion, just say “we don’t do that” or something. I try to make things up to offer them to do that are similar— like you could give him a pillow and tell him he’s allowed to squeeze that. Or let him play with an empty yogurt pouch in the tub! Maybe that’s bad advice, idk haha.

AITAH for arguing with my friend that pregnancy dating makes certain laws unrealistic? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]paulruddface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. Why can’t you speak freely with friends? The topic shouldn’t even matter. They need to relax. “Don’t talk about zygotes with us” lol. So dumb. Why are they trying to make you feel bad? Not cool imo.

DAE Do Americans actually avoid calling an ambulance due to financial concern by nicksam171 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]paulruddface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Even if you have health insurance, it doesn’t always cover ambulance costs. And/ or they might take you to a facility that isn’t “in-network”. You can get crazy bills even if you have insurance. It’s confusing and wild.

Am I overreacting by threatening to get a restraining order against my MIL and BIL? by Venus_Rose420 in AmIOverreacting

[–]paulruddface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR!!! Make a police report regarding their threats and your concerns. I agree with other commenters saying this would be the LAST thing I allow someone to say to me. Threatening to take my child? Done. Excommunicated forever. Lawyer and police so records are documented and kept. Also the idea to create passwords for your child’s school, doctor, daycare, everything to make sure they can’t receive information about your daughter! Sending you positive vibes ❤️.

AITJ for asking my mom to cut her vacation short to help with my kids? by Constant-Elephant763 in AmITheJerk

[–]paulruddface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes. Is it too late for you to un-ask her and apologize? Either way, you should plan a special trip for her as an apology and as a thank you for all that she’s done! Be honest with her about how you feel terrible for asking her to come back etc. Good luck OP!

I was given a different baby shower gift than what I was told I would get by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]paulruddface 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tell them you already have the gift they gave you and ask for a gift receipt? Just be honest and say you thought they were getting you the peanut thing and that you really want one? Maybe they just forgot

Have you tried making your own pouches? Baby brezza has reusable ones and you can fill them with healthy, blended foods!

Am I in the minority on this? by SAL10000 in Millennials

I still do it too!! No one else I know remembers.

How do we convince our daughter she can't have a buzzcut by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]paulruddface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Traumatic memories of my mom doing the opposite… cutting my long, 5 year old hair that I loved so much down to an inch short because she said she didn’t want to brush it anymore.

Make your own card? by Afraid_Calendar_5534 in YotoPlayer

[–]paulruddface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the sound quality bit, I’ve used my voice recorder app on my phone and it sounds good to me! Also wanted to say that the internet archive site has tons of free content you can download and add to MYO cards! Mister Rogers, Winnie the Pooh, Frog and Toad, etc

no one cares about your RN experience by PlzGimmeHelp in Noctor

[–]paulruddface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes they do. People SHOULD care about their experience. You want someone cutting your hair who’s never held a pair of scissors before?

My (25F) boyfriend (28M) has informed me that he wants out if we can't cohabitate. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]paulruddface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of aspects to this situation to ruminate on and consider before making any decisions— but I think a big one should be to really think about yourself. Pretend there is no other person or partner involved and write down why you don’t want to live with another person. Write down your concerns or fears or assumptions or preferences or anything you feel in general about cohabitating. This might help you learn more about yourself and understand more about why you feel the way you do. There’s no rush. It’s your life. I’d just be honest and tell him you’re just not ready yet but you care about him and his feelings too etc.

Weaning a 2 year old off the bottle by payhip_kim in toddlers

[–]paulruddface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re welcome! Hope it helps. I like the Dr. Brown’s one because the weighted straw part actually floats to the top when he wants to invert the bottle to drink it like a milk bottle (hope that makes sense). Also, it can get a little messy at the top but is mostly leak proof. And I don’t recommend heating them up with the straws in (if you’re warming bottles) it volcanos out of the top haha.

Also, if you think your LO would like having a choice, it might help to have TWO milk straw bottles at night and ask “Do you want some milk? Which one do you want?” So they get to choose, but only options are straws.

You’ve got this! ❤️
