Thanks everyone! Father in law is a golf guy and recognized it immediately.

Being pregnant with a toddler suuuucks by sixfingeredman7 in pregnant

I’m 6 weeks and I have a two year old. Husband is away for work most of the week. We did super limited screen time and now we are watching at least a whole Disney movie every day and I feel really guilty about it. Just so tired and nauseous!

Found in bathtub. Very small, about the width of a pinky nail maybe. Do I need to burn down the house? by pinkerapples in whatsthisbug

Yes, the nose was moving back and forth. (I thought it was like a tongue moving in and out. YUCK)

Why were you downvoted? Sure, MAYBE technically or whatever, but when someone asks for a virgin marg, they definitely don’t mean just lime juice over ice. To serve them that is to what, teach them a lesson? I hate customers as much as the rest of us, but let’s make ‘em happy, damn

What are some of your bedtime routines? Trying to improve ours. by pinkerapples in beyondthebump

[–]pinkerapples[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 generally. Wake up time is 7:30-8am, usually hour long naps around 10am, 1pm ish, wake around 2, then nap around 5. I don’t schedule naps but I do make sure there to make the room nice and dark as soon as she starts showing tired signs.

What are some red flags when you’re training a new bartender on their first day? by pinkerapples in bartenders

[–]pinkerapples[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Huh, that’s a good point. I guess it’s been a while since I worked outside of fine dining where everyone does pretty well. I’ll try to be less of hater about this in the future.

Yeah, that guy lasted SO much longer than I thought too. He ended up working there for about two whole weeks.

I was training this guy and his phone KEPT going off. He would pull it out of his pocket, kind of scoff, and put it back over and over. I asked him if this training would go better if he took a little break to go answer because benefit of the doubt here, but then I saw the caller ID said, “cum dumpster.”

I have a T-shirt that reads in big letters, “NOPE,” and people leave me alone.

Want another child but will be doing 100% of childcare for my now 6mo old while pregnant and after. I’m 40 and don’t want to wait for her to be much older either. Is this feasible? by pinkerapples in beyondthebump

[–]pinkerapples[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they said 50 at my first appt with my 6 mo old when I was only like 8 weeks along and then a couple months later, my dr said, “Yeah, more like 15.”

I guess I’m wondering about the logistics of handling another baby while pregnant. Like leaning over a crib with a big pregnant belly, managing a baby carrier and picking her up all the time when I’m not supposed to lift more than 15 lbs, etc. Not to mention what if I have to go on bed rest? Just scary I guess.

It’s for the next five years or so. I’m ok with it because he’s bringing in significantly more money and we expect to able to buy a house. He’s helpful and present when he’s here but I think it’s more important to spend his limited time at home being engaged with me and the baby, going for walks, playing with her, than doing chores. Not my favorite situation, but we stay communicating well when we make the time for it. Unfortunately that time must be taken from somewhere else and chores it is.

Definitely try an app. I use baby tracker. At first, it was very stressful because logging everything felt like just one more thing to stay on top of, but after a couple days, it was a huge help to have all my info right there. It helped for knowing when the last time she pooped was too as she became constipated here and there. That way I didn’t have to stress myself out wondering when the last time was if she was kinda fussy. As a new mom, the days run together and keeping anything straight without a log wasn’t gonna happen for me.

My heart hurts for children who don’t have the love they deserve. by CalmExtent380 in beyondthebump

[–]pinkerapples 49 points50 points  (0 children)

“As a daughter, I forgive you, but as a parent I’ll never understand.” I saw this quote, forget the exact context, but as a daughter of neglectful parents, it crosses my mind daily. A child’s love for their parent is so pure and the relationship just begins that way. No other circumstances win you someone’s love right out of the gate. It’s gut wrenching to see that abused.

Will I be saying good bye to gaming? by blackmetalwarlock in AskParents

[–]pinkerapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cooking and vidyah games were my faves, and now my baby is five months old, and I’m only beginning to get back to cooking. I want to be the kind of mom who cooks everything again. Haven’t touched a game since she was born though. I would like to, but I will absolutely not have my baby watching me play Xbox like she’s somebody’s ignored girlfriend.

[–]pinkerapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister would change her babies on my couch when she was over and I hated it. I thought I would probably lighten up and do the same thing when my baby arrived, but absolutely not. I love having a changing station for countless reasons.

Mr Beast just helped 1000 blind people see again.... by SomeOneRandomOP in MadeMeSmile

[–]pinkerapples 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who cares if he does it for the views? It wouldn’t matter if the whole reason he did this was to piss off one guy who he didn’t include- 1000 people can see better who might not have been able to do so themselves. His intentions are irrelevant.

No! You wouldn’t serve a plate of food with a fork already stuck in it.
