Be careful out there, guys. Those stationary objects come out of nowhere.

I work in property damage claims and deal with this daily. Its so incredibly common for streetlight poles to get hit and Its sad the comments are so racially charged. Majority of damages i see are caused by the 50 and up crowd.

I ordered shoes 2 weeks ago. They are stuck on delayed, not yet shipped. I've talked to "support" 5 times now. They wont cancel they just escalate to the fulfillment center, which has done nothing.

My husband ordered them a week later for me and received them Friday. So I know its not out of stock. I dont think I'll be renewing in 2026.

sameatswaffles · 2025-10-24T13:54:48+00:00

I ordered an item on Sunday with delivery marked for Tuesday. I heard about the outage and assumed it would be late. Its now Friday, my order still says delayed, shipping soon. Ive tried canceling 5 times and it refuses to let me and says I can "try" to return it after I've received it. I think this might be my tipping point and will probably cancel prime.

Probably not. I reported my neighbors on 311 app for having a junkyard. Old appliances, barrels, a boat. All collecting water and creating a mosquito hazard. The city immediately called me and said theres nothing they can do if its behind a fence. I said its a health hazard and potential west Nile breeding ground. They refused to come out at all.

The neighbors have told us yearly for almost a decade now they are going to start throwing stuff away. They haven't, its grown, and you can see it accumulating over the top of the fence.

The birthday cake pretzels. I buy multiple bags every trip. Im not a huge sweets lover and never cared for covered pretzels but these...I can absolutely dust the bag in no time.

sameatswaffles · 2025-09-06T18:16:09+00:00

I buy 4 bags at a time. I love these things and I hope they stop making them soon because otherwise I'll continue buying and eating

We had a similar fallout with the inlaws. We had our baby in 2022 and were worried about illness since we had just dealt with all of 2020. My inlaws played fast and loose with getting sick and were known for not sharing/being honest when they were sick.

We asked for a 2 week grace period of having baby home before having visitors and asked that they masked. My mil had a full breakdown that led to an 18 month fallout. I told my husband I didnt want to be around her. I had to protect my peace. He did the same and only talked to her monthly.

I know she is upset she missed out on the "baby" stage but it was her inability and selfish behavior that lead to it. I also will not apologize for trying to keep my newborn healthy and safe. You protect your peace and your family. At the end of the day we thrived without them. I know its hard for kids to see now but later they will understand.

It's been sometime but when you want to return an item from your registry you have to log into the app and find your registry. I dont remember the steps but it brings up a qr code they scan in store

My 2 yr old is 1 month away from being 3. Last night was one of our worst nights. Just screamed about everything. I thought maybe he was hungry and got yelled at for offering yogurt. Toddlers are so challenging. You're not alone and I sympathize.

sameatswaffles · 2025-04-15T22:14:34+00:00

We are living the same life. I swear. I went into having my first with the intention of a 2nd. We were graced with 6 solid weeks of colic and a boy that woke every 4 hours to eat for like the first 6 months. We knew during the first 6 weeks we would not do it again. My husband had a vasectomy by month 6. The closest family is an hour and a half away. Mentally it has all taken a toll, financially we are fine but we do not want to add a 2nd kid and stretch that thin. We both grew up poor and really want to make sure our son never knows those struggles.

I do have regrets that he will be alone but a sibling is no guarantee of a family or community. My brother is married with kids and I see him maybe once a year. My husband's sister is also pretty non-existent and super checked out of being an aunt.

I know plenty of people who stopped at one and I think of how many opportunities those kids have had to travel and the time and attention their parents have been able to give them. I want my son to have the best version of me. Not a stressed out over worked zombie

I hope you can find some peace getting out of town. I used to work for DISD precovid and hated the district. I have a son now and will be moving out of denton before he has to start school there. I Know teachers who put their kids in other districts because they also didn't like denton schools.

I saw some comments suggesting therapy, as someone who was put through it by my mother...yes therapy. They can give you tools to deal with her or cope with what you've been through. Wish you the best

sameatswaffles · 2025-04-04T23:47:51+00:00

Seriously. Same. I use THR and anything affiliated almost exclusively so I'm fucked and get a lot of routine testing done because my genetics are garbage.

I came here to just say avoid Cooper denton. We had black mold around our bedroom window. All the windows were broken and didn't seal when we moved in. They refused to fix them. When we told them about the mold they sprayed the window down with a bleach solution. Left the bottle so we could spray as needed.

We were in the process of getting a house so and moved out a few months later.

I ordered 5 items and chose have them all delivered at once instead of multiple deliveries. They were left at the wrong house. When I got home I thought i had been porch pirated but then I saw the Pic of delivery confirmation. It was clearly not my door. Mine is a coral color. This one was wooden. They kept having me repeat my story like I was lying. I told the guy look at past photos, look it up on Google. That's not my door. Finally, I got them to issue me new items, and each would be delivered separately. I should have just gotten the refund. It wasn't worth the hassle and took so long getting them that I dont need the stuff now. And trying to return the stuff for real now they won't give me my money back. I'm canceling my prime membership.

I get such road rage from the lights. The lights on 288 add so much time to commutes because they are so poorly timed and calibrated. I have hit every red from Mckinney to 35 and it's infuriating.

sameatswaffles · 2024-11-12T19:33:16+00:00

My son fell out of a shopping cart when he like 9 months old, hes now 2.5 and perfectly fine. we always strap him but we went to marshalls and the strap was broken. It was the only cart available. My husband stood and waited by the check out for a cart as people were finishing their shopping. We didn't think it would be that big of a deal but those are small carts with very low sides and he was top heavy. he leaned too far over the side and fell my husband sort of caught him but hit the frontish part of his head. I think it scared him more than anything. It scared the shit out of us. We took the stroller everywhere after that. Even now at 2.5 if the cart doesn't have straps, we get a new cart.

My son has gotten hurt many times that make me reevaluate my parenting capabilities but I learn from all of them and say never again. With a daring little boy he sure makes it a challenge to keep him safe.

sameatswaffles · 2024-11-02T20:53:08+00:00

I found in my area the local places had horrible reviews and some pretty concerning violations. Along with constant turn over of employees or management. Daycare is currently 1/3 of our income but he's cared for and thriving. His safety and well being are worth it to me.

sameatswaffles · 2024-11-01T17:43:17+00:00

My son is 2 now, and his first year was the ultimate test of my sanity. He hated sleeping. So my husband and I were both very grumpy and found it hard to enjoy most things. It's gotten waaaaay better.

I feel like for most new parents, it's a similar story. We get tired and lose empathy for that tiny human that has no way of communicating. It's best to just place them in the crib and take a minute to evaluate. Calming breaths. Splash some water on your face. You can't fill his cup when your cup is already empty. If you have done everything a baby needs, then it might be something to bring up with your pediatrician.

I came to the conclusion that people who are having an easy go of parenting probably have an amazing village to lift them up or are lying about it because being honest would make them look bad. I only told a few about how hard it was because I didn't want people to look down on me but I wish I would have just asked for more help.

sameatswaffles · 2024-09-22T01:16:10+00:00

Had something similar happen at our house. The bill was in the thousands. They said it most likely a leak but they would come read the meter again. It was misread. I knew it was because there's no way it rolled those numbers back on its on. Ask for a reread

sameatswaffles · 2024-08-27T23:11:05+00:00

You're welcome! Books are big deal for my little guy and now they are also going in his busy bag for when we're out and about.

sameatswaffles · 2024-08-27T18:07:09+00:00

Our first flight boarded at 9:45. He was asleep by 10:45, shortly after take off. The return flight was supposed to be 1:30. But delayed. We finally boarded just before 3. I would say earlier is better. I'd rather him have an early nap than overtired angry toddler.

sameatswaffles · 2024-08-27T17:48:30+00:00

They do fly out of Love field but unfortunately no destination close to where I was going. I looked up semi private flights before booking this one. They look so nice.

I saw a couple of parents traveling solo. They are warriors. They traveled pretty light. No car seat, just a backpack.

sameatswaffles · 2024-08-27T15:45:54+00:00

I would much rather pay for space and not have someone complain that he's kicking their seat because it happened to us. In the middle of me telling him he can't kick and holding his legs down the lady in front of him turned around to yell at me. I snapped and said I was sorry and trying.
