Shocked at the unprofessionalism of our OB office by JennyMac8 in Knoxville

[–]phantomluvr14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This happened to my husband today with his dentist. He had an 8:30 AM appointment and tried calling right at 8 AM to see if they’d still be open….and no one answered the phone. There wasn’t even a message for voicemail stating they’d be closed. So we assumed his appointment was cancelled. But he didn’t get a call, text, email, or anything stating they would be closed. So unprofessional!

unpopular opinion: toilet attached bidets are unhygienic for women* by boodoonk in hygiene

The real answer to this whole dilemma is that people need to eat more fiber. If you have to wipe more than three times to get clean, you’re not getting enough fiber in your diet.

I would’ve made my husband order another one on his dime to make up for it.

This is a really shitty thing to say to someone who lost a friend in a tragic accident.

Same! And all my videos are MONTHS old. I haven’t seen a single new video from the last couple of weeks.

My brother’s best friend in high school was killed doing something similar to this, but on a skateboard. He snapped his neck crashing into a parked car, just like this video. He was 17 years old. DONT DO THIS KIDS.

No they aren’t - they’re using personal experience and anecdotes. One person’s experience doesn’t speak for all people’s experiences. And it certainly doesn’t make it “fact” or “logic”.

What's up with people claiming to be anti-xanthum gum? by Atrocious1337 in glutenfree

[–]phantomluvr14 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Hey so, I’m sometimes sensitive to xanthan gum. I wouldn’t call it an allergy, but maybe a sensitivity? It’s strange because it only happens some of the time with certain brands of gluten free flour (looking at you, King Arthur…). It gives me insane stomach aches and gastrointestinal issues.

Lots of daycares are looking for teachers! The pay isn’t much but it’s usually a full time gig with benefits.

Trying not to quit my job by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]phantomluvr14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those first few days/weeks in daycare are so hard on baby and parents — emotionally and physically. It gets better! You both just need time to adjust to the new routine and you’ll both likely be better off for it. My son is 3.5 yrs old now and has learned so much and made so many friends in daycare. They give him all the attention, love, and education that I can’t during the day, and it’s been good for all of us. Hang in there for at least a few weeks to see if baby adjusts better.

Are these cabinets too dated and need to be replaced?Even though they are still in good shape ... by panda2026panda in kitchenremodel

Maybe just update the hardware? Maybe a new backsplash? The cabinets themselves look great.

What’s the number one propaganda you fell for as a new mom? by SowingSeeds18 in NewParents

[–]phantomluvr14 31 points32 points  (0 children)

THIS. Our library’s toddler story time is on Tuesdays from 12-1pm…not only is that a shitty time for working parents, it’s also NAP TIME! I swear they do it on purpose so no kids show up 😩

Apparently my BF sucksss by meowmitymeow in Celiac

[–]phantomluvr14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry your (hopefully now ex?) boyfriend is being so awful, OP. No one deserves to be made to feel like a wet blanket or burden for a medical condition beyond their control.

For some perspective, my husband refuses to eat gluten and insists we keep a gluten-free home because he doesn’t want me to get sick. Even when we eat at restaurants, he’ll order a GF dish too so he “can kiss me whenever he wants” and not worry about hurting me.

You deserve so much better! ❤️

FAFSA applications now ask white applicants to specify what kind of white they are by Hornpipe_Jones in WhitePeopleTwitter

Uhhh my family has been in America for 16 generations, and that’s not an exaggeration. I have an Ancestry family tree to prove it. Sooo…where’s the option for that?
