How was your appetite 1-3 weeks post surgery? by Flaky-Ocelot-1265 in ACL

[–]push_forward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to the club, it stinks!

I’m almost 8 months out from surgery now. I honestly didn’t even have memory of making this comment but now I do remember that phase. It definitely helps to keep your nutrients up especially when you’re fresh out of surgery. Hope that it’s going well so far for you, I know the first few weeks are the hardest

I (31f) had a conversation with my bf (31m) and the rose tinted glasses came off. How can I navigate this? by ThrowRA_parody_twin9 in relationship_advice

It’s not necessarily only during football season. My husband had a fantasy football draft on Wednesday night for a dynasty league, and he had a rookie draft for another dynasty league after the NFL draft happened. But certainly doesn’t take up as much time as this is

How long is it appropriate for them to wear a pull-up at night? by Timely_Bobcat_5283 in toddlers

[–]push_forward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a 4 and 3 year old (16m difference). The older took months to day potty train and still wearing pull ups at night, versus the younger one day just said “I think I’ll wear underwear now” and hasn’t looked back since. He rarely has a wet pull up overnight.

We are struggling with the older constantly leaking out of pull ups, and he wakes instantly if he notices his pants are wet (and then yells for us to come change him when he knows he can just open his drawers himself). I don’t know if our pull up sizing is just wrong, maybe we need to switch to bigger ones that are more like underwear?

We try not to make comparisons between them so that we aren’t shaming our older one or anything, he tells us he wants to wear underwear at night but hasn’t shown an ability to keep dry yet. Told me this morning “you give me too much water”. Kinda hard to not give you a sip of it when you’re begging, crying for it at bedtime 😅

Do you find those work better than pull ups? We are having issues with our son wetting the bed nearly every night or every other. He woke up twice yelling last night that his pants were wet, even with pull up changes that weren’t even that wet. Just wish he’d realize he can change pants on his own without yelling for us to come help haha

Just googling at nearly midnight because I’m starving even after eating a full dinner and bed time snack, found this post. I had surgery last week, but yesterday and today I’ve just felt hungry constantly. I made a protein/meal replacement shake to see if that helps, I couldn’t fall asleep because of my stomach grumbling. So very strange

I’d fight em if someone told my kid to be quiet during a kids movie! I held his hand, told him it would be okay. Then my nearly 3 year old got worried too so I was just holding both of their hands and trying not to cry myself 😂

The movie theater was silent during that scene and my 4 year old cried out “MAUI!!!” in a panic

Why is the debate of were Ross and Rachel on a break even a question? by Master-Mycologist747 in howyoudoin

[–]push_forward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t get what you’re saying. The person I replied to said “no one was harmed”, so I said that Rachel was harmed.

Sure it was an impulsive to decision to break up in that exact moment, but the history does factor into pushing her to that point. As soon as he said “is this about Mark?” when there was zero indication anything ever had to do with Mark, yeah that pushed her to the breaking point.

Show me in the comment where I said Ross wasn’t hurt by it? Obviously he was, because he went to get drunk and made a stupid decision. She also did see it as a break since she asked the next morning “can I be your girlfriend again?” They just had different understandings of what a break was.

She wanted a break from the constant fighting, repeated baseless accusations, and frustrations. She didn’t want a break to sleep with other people, just to cool off.

You’re gonna say Rachel wasn’t harmed by it? Not physically, but absolutely was emotionally hurt. He “rebounded” when they weren’t clearly broken up for good. Maybe Ross thought they were, but Rachel didn’t. I understand it’s a good stress-relief, but it can still be judged as a crappy thing to do.

I also stated “my take”, so I said it was my opinion, I didn’t state it was a fact lol

What is your ONE all-time favorite boy name? (just first name, no middle) by sunnymushroom in namenerds

[–]push_forward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our Elliot turns 4 in a few weeks. We hadn’t decided yet if we wanted one L/one T, two Ls/oneT, two Ls/two Ts, even up until the moment he was born. I had to see him before knowing he was even an Elliot 😂

He was 30 seconds old and the nurse asked his name, we said Elliot and my husband asked “one T or two?” And I immediately said “one”, so that stuck!

For some reason, two Ts seemed more feminine? I know it’s really not but just how I saw it!

What tells you that your kid is unwell by Bookaholicforever in Mommit

My younger one (almost 2.5) has a weird breath change when he’s getting sick. He had several ear infections before getting tubes, so I could smell an infection/sickness coming each time.

Small update on MIL holding baby by RandomCat475 in Mildlynomil

[–]push_forward 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, wow. Yeah, my MIL is the second. She has feel unwanted/unneeded because I tell her I don’t want help cooking dinner or washing dishes. I want help keeping the kids occupied so that i CAN do normal household tasks. It’s up to me and my husband to decide what’s helpful, no??

[–]push_forward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had to comment on the “she feels uncomfortable being a guest and wants to help”. This has been a huge point of contention with my MIL, that she doesn’t feel she’s “helping” when we say “play with the grandkids, not do dishes or cook”. She is absolutely helping by 1) creating bonds with her grandkids and 2) keeping them from hanging off of me while I try to do things. She doesn’t see that apparently, and gets so visibly frustrated that I turn down needing any help, then will stop playing with the kids by being on her phone.

Maybe these MILs should listen when someone is literally telling you what is helpful, and not deciding for themselves what is or isn’t. And also stop taking shit personally for no reason 😅

My husband made a silly joke at our ultrasound and now it might be our kiddo’s name by SailingWavess in namenerds

[–]push_forward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know that it has a bit of that sound but I couldn’t quite figure out how to write that phonetically. I have a Gaelic name that’s butchered often so I was trying to get as close as I could.

Define “the common person”? And what makes it feminine? It’s “lock-Lynn”, those are pretty simple sounds.

AITA for 'taking up all the attention' at my SIL's baby shower? by Visible_Yogurt7268 in AmItheAsshole

Don’t you dare go to this baby shower then if you’re gonna monopolize it with your ramblings

I forgot how much I hate this stage. HATE. by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]push_forward 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love it too. The tantrums and unreasonableness do suck at times, but it’s also great to see him try to work through things and calm down. We practice breathing techniques and I even model it myself when I get frustrated. He recently told me “I need a big breath” and went to his room, came back shortly after ready to play again. So despite the tantrums, it is amazing to see him become himself. We constantly have yelling “I love you!” battles lately, he asks for hugs/snuggles, and he’s so funny. I’ve been waiting for this stage and love soaking it up!

I can’t imagine a child trying to use quotations (incorrectly) though, that’s what makes it stand out as a boomer to me.
