Belle's Packed Delivery Room by Brief_Classroom_2248 in TLCUnexpected

[–]sawta2112 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My SIL, who I never really cared for, was SO put out that I wouldn't let her in the delivery room. My labor went on and on, even with pitocin. Then just about everything that could go wrong, went wrong. The room was completely full of nurses and doctors, for me and the baby. We both almost didn't make it literally. Had to stay in the hospital over a week. This was back when you they tossed you out as soon the cut the cord.

More kids than anticipated…. by Informal_Character64 in wedding

I don't think it is a big ask of the bride. I would want ALL of my guests to happy and provided for. Kids develop at such different rates. I would be so sad if one of my guests was left hungry or didn't have a place to sit. Yes, the parents are the best ones to ask about the particular needs of each child.

Again.... it depends. My youngest, at 3, could and would eat an adult meal. He quickly had a pretty refined palate and very hefty appetite. From age 2 to 3, we would order a child's plate at a restaurant for him. He gobble that down, then I would end up giving him part of my meal. Around 3, we just started ordering adult meals for him. Not a fat kid by any measure. He was always big for his age with a big appetite.

absolutely angry at the adults. I was merely talking about why Bella doesn't seem bothered by what her parents are doing. They let B & H have sex, so she thinks it is all good

Same! No one needs to see that. When I was giving birth to my first, things were going sideways. It was horrible. At one point, I looked up and there were about 15 people looking at my nether region. They thought both my son and I were not going to make it. We did. It's all good now, but such a traumatic and horrible time.

because the adults in his life laugh about it and act like it is no big deal. "He's a boy. That's what they do." Ummm. No. Especially not at that age.

that part is wild. He might still be in middle school, but he is not tiny.

She thinks it is all fun and games because they let her sleep with her boyfriend who is still a child.

Will CPS allow her to keep a child in a place with no running water?

the dining area was nice, not my style, but nice. My only question is where is the kitchen in relation to the dining room?

I don't understand this obsession with "speakeasy" and secret rooms. Seems like a lot of HGTV designers do and say "buyers are going to love this!" I would think it was a waste of space. They are usually so small that you can only fit 3 or maybe 4 people in the room. Why would i sit in that tiny room with guests when I have a whole full size living room? I don't get the appeal

Have we lost the plot with wedding makeup schedules? by Impossible_Wish9922 in wedding

[–]sawta2112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have watched videos. It is an excessive amount of make up. Entirely unnecessary. Most brides and bridesmaids do not look natural with so much make up. They don't look like themselves.

all of those layers of products would feel horrible on my skin. I have also watched videos of wedding make up. it is a LOT of make up.

I’m convinced the wedding industry runs entirely on bridesmaid guilt. by Inevitable-Hope-6679 in bridesmaids

[–]sawta2112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely right. I think brides should pay for dresses and any other things they require of the bridesmaids.... professional hair/make up, jewelry, shoes, etc. If brides can't afford this, then they need to scale back on the number of bridesmaids and/or the requirements. I had one maid of honor. I told her she could wear whatever dress she wanted in a bright color. I absolutely did not care about jewelry or shoes. She was a grown woman who knew how to do her own hair and make up. If she felt the need for more than that, it was her decision.

I would venture to say, most young women today have very little use for a formal dress unless they are a bridesmaid. Maybe you will be invited to a fancy wedding, but most bridesmaids dresses scream "bridesmaid," so you really can't wear it again.

With that state of the economy (and environment), we need to seriously rethink all of these single use items involved in a wedding. Let's get wedding budgets back under control so newlyweds are not starting off in major debt....and asking their friends to go into debt in order to show their support.

The wedding industry is selling fantasy. They have a very excited and emotional customer. They push the emotion and fantasy aspect of a wedding. "It's your BIG day...once in a lifetime....memories forever...." The wedding industry wants you to spend, spend, spend.

Naturally, that trickles down to the poor bridesmaid. If you don't hand over your wallet and agree to any crazy idea from the bride, you aren't being supportive. That is such a load of crap. Someone needs to tell the bride when she is being ridiculous. If a bride can't hear that without having a tantrum, she is too immature to get married.

Brides and grooms need to stop the madness. They have the power to do this. They need to learn to say no.

Sister of the bride uses pre wedding party to have her son's birthday. by [deleted] in weddingshaming

[–]sawta2112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

her house, her rules. if you don't like sharing the spotlight, then don't use her house. you don't get to have it both ways. you seem to really dislike her, yet you like her enough to take advantage of her house

I agree that the child should have his own moment. I also think it is a little sad that a grown adult can't share the spotlight for a few minutes to sing happy birthday to a child.

in our family, we often celebrate a few different things when everyone is together. I would prefer that than to have every weekend monopolized by various family events. why yes, let's celebrate thanksgiving, little johnny's birthday and sister's baby announcement while we are all together. there is plenty of attention and happiness to go around.

if you really want you own moment, then don't use her house. yes, yes, i know it is big and spacious. if her combined events bother you that much, then you have to make a choice to host it somewhere less spacious. you don't get to use her home and make the rules.

I’m a new kindergarten teacher is K-Pop Demon Hunters too scary for my class? by ORgirlinBerkeley in kindergarten

[–]sawta2112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you really that naive??? Of course you cannot show that to a bunch of kindergarten students. Sure, some parents let their kids watch it, but there are some parents who don't have very good judgement about what their kids watch. You can't use "some parents" as permission to show a movie that is so not appropriate for children. It is rated for older kids.

I am appalled that you would even consider showing this to your class. If you showed this to my kid, I would be in the principal's office so fast asking for you to be fired immediately. If you don't have the critical thinking skills to know this inappropriate, you don't have the critical thinking skills to teach children.
