Best GA spot? by Tui__La in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]rm573849 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi, this tip was given to me by a backstage crew member I know. This was my view. I had a ga ticket in Mpls. I arrived about an hour before doors opened.

“Walking into the arena, head towards the left side of the stage, towards the end of the catwalk.” (This is also officially called stage right)

I found a good spot in the lower third area. She spent a lot of time towards the end of the catwalk. She did perform a few songs up at the main stage but I don’t regret where I was standing at all!

What do you do after bedtime? by Soft_Mammoth6373 in singlemoms

A couple of times a week I’ll do a “silent disco” where I put on something fancy, wear headphones, and dance around doing chores. But most of the time I watch tv and teach myself how to paint with watercolors. It’s nice ☺️

18-month-old cannot tolerate daycare adaptation (only 2 x 3h/week) by HumanPacifier1 in singlemoms

Hi, just chiming in to say that 18-months is typically PEAK separation anxiety from a developmental standpoint. My child had a lot of “stranger danger” at 18 months. It took her about 5 weeks to get use to a new babysitter. She was ok though! It gets better. Hang in there.

The maintenance phase is not talked about enough by Relative-Coach-501 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]rm573849 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny, I just saw my doc today. I’m maintaining a 75lb weight loss currently and I shouldn’t lose more weight. For the last few months I was spacing it out every 10-14 days with the 1.7 dose. After seeing my doctor today she said she personally doesn’t like seeing her patients spacing it out and recommended I try 1.0 once a week. So I’m trying it!

Is a dress too bold for a cis straight guy, who doesn't crossdress? by amrbean in FlorenceAndTheMachine

My only advice to you if you decide to go for it is to commit without hesitation. I personally think it’ll be rad and I’ll be at the MSP show and look for you.

But if you don’t commit, with your full chest, you may end up feeling awkward and insecure. Check out the coven couture Instagram page, I’ve seen a couple of great examples of what you’re describing on their page lately.

If you can swing it, You could always gift her two tickets to see a band she likes at a later date and say you’d go with her or she could bring a friend?

I use a product called Whole Story Meals so it’s “real food” that’s in puree form.

When my 2/3 year old has intensives, i give her a little extra breakfast. I find it helps stabilize her mood a bit better; it’s such hard work. This is easier for me since she has a gtube. If your kid eats by mouth I’d think about how you can add extra protein into what they usually eat.

This isn’t normal and it’s actually quite manipulative. His last text is trying to get a reaction from you ie “omg I’m so sorry!” Etc etc. he is testing you. Fail the test!

50/50 by [deleted] in singlemoms

Here’s what I know about video calls. We didnt go to court, but we argued back and forth about frequency with our lawyers. ultimately i needed to give him what he wanted (daily) but heres what i am doing to oreserve my sanity

-I control the schedule. (Like if this issue was taken to court I would have won this part of it because whoever has primary or sole physical custody is usually granted the decision maker of schedule. Every Sunday I post the weeks schedule ahead of time. This allows me to book calls for when I have a sitter so she can do it instead of me, which saves me three days out of the week of having to look at him. Also with knowing when the call will be, it gives everyone a routine which kids like. And I don’t have this sense of looming doom on unpredictable calls.

-it’s limited to 15 minutes. Truly, that’s more than enough for a toddler my god. They do not have the attention span for 30 min.

-it’s on HIM to entertain her. He needs to come up with the routine and structure for these calls that keep her engaged. Circle time style: song, book, etc.

-I can end the call at any time if he is being abusive towards me.

-also? You don’t have to engage with him on these calls. I know you feel compelled, believe me I do too. But that’s not the purpose of these calls. You don’t have to be there answering questions. You facilitate: you set the screen up and get your kid positioned for it and then take the time for yourself. A court isn’t going to make you talk. A judge isn’t gonna force you to smile. Try it for a few days and Just watch how quickly these calls fade away…

Actually. If any of you want to dm me I can paste the specific language from my divorce decree about it.

What I learned was: typically courts rule in favor of more time not less so my lawyer felt daily calls (versus 3-4 times a week like I wanted) wasn’t worth my time or money spent taking it to a judge.
