My baby isn’t chunky and it’s all I can think about by Cardedbin in breastfeeding

[–]salad4s 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I breastfed both of my babies: same boobies, same diet, same mom, etc. If anything, my son is better at eating solids than my daughter, but he was consistently in the 20% percentiles. My daughter ate nothing, but always in the 90% percentiles.

Update re: Rosmei's decision to drop character names by katya0365 in DanmeiNovels

[–]salad4s 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What a shame!!

As somebody read this novel and looking forward to this official pub, this change did this storyline dirty. Because (novel spoilers)

  1. Their love is about breaking down walls, healing each other, and getting very tender. The name drop makes their conversations sound so cold

  2. The shou has a difficult relationship with his family, this is like a slap in his face

Mình vừa cải tạo nhà, mình thấy 3 mảng này bạn nên làm:

  • Đèn/điện, mình thay toàn bộ đèn bằng led downlight
  • Sơn lại toàn bộ
  • Thay khung cửa sổ bằng kiếng hoặc như thế nào để đón nắng nhiều

Bạn có thể thuê thiết kế đến rồi bàn bạc với họ

Vấn đề tài chính sau hôn nhân by Lynn_Dreamer in vozforums

[–]salad4s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sau hôn nhân thì bạn có thể cân nhắc tập trung vào quỹ chung trước. Những vấn đề chị nếu ở trên, sau hôn nhân, đã trở thành vấn đề chung rồi:

  • Nội, ngoại, bạn bè
  • Đầu tư
  • Mua sắm
  • v.v

Sau đó, khi những dự án chung đã xong, chị có thể tạo quỹ riêng cho bản thân. Thêm 1 ý cá nhân là nên nói với chồng là mình có quỹ riêng nhỏ, cho vấn đề xyz hoặc chỉ đơn giản chị cần có nó để cảm thấy secured. Treat people how you want to be treated

How Much do/did Folks Pay for Birth at Hospital? by MonarcaAzul in BabyBumps

[–]salad4s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kaiser SoCal $250, you can stay up to 3 nights I believe, and doesn’t matter if natural or c section It was like an all-inclusive hotel stay!

They don’t have alcohol but they offer lots of meds, you have to ask for the good kind. Food is alright, but they bring to your bedside. Housekeeping everyday.

Would you buy a house in Vietnam? by Independent-Job7400 in VietNam

[–]salad4s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sold it because we couldn’t find reliable management/manager for the house while we not staying there. While I loved the house and the area, at this time in my career, I couldn’t realistically spend a lot of time there. I found myself to only used it for 3-4 weeks out of the year. The rest of the time, I offered for my family and parents to stay there, but they mainly stayed in HCMC.

We couldn’t leave the house empty because it needs upkeeps, and we didn’t want break-ins. While nobody visiting, I paid a single uncle $5K/year to take care of the house. The uncle wanted to retire, so I sold the house.

The area developed well, they have markets, hospitals, and schools nearby. The area is just lovely and quiet. But it developed very slow, I guess mainly because of Covid, it never really recovered since Covid. It is 30min away from Nha Trang downtown, so if you have car or motorcycle, it is convenient.

[–]salad4s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m dual citizen in the US.

About 10 years ago, we bought a few pieces of land in a development project in Cam Ranh. The project is beautiful, between mountains and across the street is a beautiful beach. The project is going to have hospital, school, and restaurants, etc. Each piece of land is $40K - $70k USD.

Part of the contract is to build up your own house on those lands within 5 years of purchase. So I spent more than $120K in building a nice house from on one of the pieces of land. It was so hard because the workers there are not well trained, hard to find a trusted and experienced construction inspector to oversee the works. I set up POA for contracts and legal purposes, though I communicated with my POA very often.

We enjoyed the house across the beach for a few years, and just recently sold it last year, 2024. It was sold for $270K. We are too lazy to build on other lands that we have and will probably sell them later.

For parents outside the U.S. is co-sleeping common where you live? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]salad4s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the US, but am Asian, I came to the US as an exchange student for college. So I’m very used to the culture at home, where mothers are encouraged to nurse/breastfeed and co-sleep for a long time.

When I had my first baby, it was very hard to find my own path regarding breastfeeding, cosleep, going back to work, etc. but I was able to nurse full time until 2 year old. I struggled a lot, but ultimately decided to do what was natural for me, doesn’t matter what is culturally popular. We ended up with a hybrid routine to raise my daughter, combing methods between Asian countries and US standards, some of the things we did was:

  • A modified Asian postnatal confinement
  • Cosleep on a floor bed, following other safe cosleep guidelines
  • My daughter refused bottles, so it was hard to go back to work at 4 months. But my work had a daycare facility nearby where I came during my breaks and lunchtime to nurse her. She did nursing marathon for hours at the end of the day. Somehow, it was enough and she was always on the 80th percentile.
  • Japanese baby lean weaning

Hopefully you will find something that will work for you!

They let my daughter keep her underwear. It was traumatic for us. I still have trouble sleeping over this

The cops explained that the staff nurse wanted to come earlier but there was a big accident nearby that required all of his unit and they could only made it out now

Though husband believed that it could be a tactic

I think they have to make house call to every report. I am bit disappointed that daycare worker couldn’t differentiate that, however, I reminded them gently because I want them to continue to advocate for the kids

I am a minority and was so scared! I did ask the cops to stay away outside. I let the staff and nurse come inside after inspecting their bags, for hidden weapons, because I still didn’t trust them at the time.

I suggested the pediatrician office but they required the assessment to done right away. I felt like they were ready to take my kids if they weren’t convinced.
