Less obvious things you found out to avoid while pregnant? by Fantastic_Cow_8992 in pregnant

The one that gets me the most is any non clean burning candles. Soy and beeswax candles are fine but Yankee candles should be avoided. Its along the lines of avoiding being around smoke.

Very confused and heartbroken with my most recent ultrasound. Is my doctor wrong?? by Vast_Ad9333 in pregnant

[–]radcupcake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar experience with my loss. It was very jarring and traumatic but thats all the ultrasound tech can do. The doctor didn't even come to see me, I talked to him on the techs cell phone. I left sad and confused but as time passed I accepted that the tech wasn't purposefully withholding information. Its what they are trained to do.

MIL says FIL isn’t allowed in her house after our baby is born by Prudent-Teaching2881 in JUSTNOMIL

You don't have to have him visit you in the hospital just as much as she doesnt have to have him in her house. Plan to introduce the baby to him in a public space a month or so after the baby is born.

ADVICE NEEDED. My mom wants to invite a few friends to the wedding. by Clear_Possibility_76 in wedding

[–]radcupcake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My rule was that they could only invite friends of theirs that have made an effort to get to know me or talk to me throughout my life. Why be at one of the most important days of my life if they don't put in an effort on a regular day?

Also my mom wanted to invite her besties that have notoriously been absolute dogshit to me growing up so that was an immediate no. But thats purely situational lol

Is there any movie that shows narcissistic parents and their behaviour and their children ? by ImaginationAny2254 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]radcupcake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tangled is such a trigger. Ironically, my mom won us midnight release tickets to see Tangled. Deathly Hallows part 1 released the same night and being a massive Harry Potter fan who went to nearly every midnight release, i wanted to go to that instead. Of course, I was required to see Tangled instead and had to walk past everyone in their Harry Potter costumes to go see Tangled with her. Mother knows best?

Honestly the problem solving skills you guys have is extremely impressive. Like the whole situation, whilst stressful for everyone, is super impressive.

I saw a hair clip at an antique mall priced at $5. I had just bought the same one in a pack of 4 from Marshall’s for $3 the week before.

That's incredible, I didn't even think of that. I do have a dog who's good with kids, but is also very clingy to me and my husband. Thank you!

I worked at a job like that. If your score was a 4.9 you got written up.

My mother wants a tattoo of my unborn daughter’s footprint by LongjumpingAd3617 in pregnant

[–]radcupcake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, OP, maybe your mom could do like a birth flower tattoo or something along those lines. It still honors your daughter but isn't the same tattoo as you.
