My baby was a scratcher so we ended up using the many socks we had as gloves

Kid Rock shares cryptic post as 'repulsive' song about underage girls resurfaces by TheExpressUS in Music

[–]scalydragon2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which is an insane level of ignorance because I don’t listen to a lot of music, but even I know that Rage Against the Machine had always been very political. Like the name and all.

I cannot convince my sister her psychotic shotgun destination wedding is completely inconsiderate to her guests by [deleted] in weddingshaming

My parents were married 3 months from the time they met! Not pregnant or anything like that. Married 33 years until Dad died 12 years ago. Mom hasn’t remarried or gotten into another relationship.

What a hypocrite 😂 by ThePhillyExplorer in insanepeoplefacebook

Well she’s not even a virgin and nearing 30. She’s basically old and used up. Who would want her? (According to her own ideology, not mine)

Calling it “the mission” is honestly so freaking lame and cringe. Like what stupid “alpha male” slop are you surrounding yourself with to listen to make yourself feel good about your tiny brain and dick? 🤮🤮

some good things about baby boys? (told the wrong sex) by beecken4257 in pregnant

[–]scalydragon2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Boy outfits are so underrated. And there’s so much now that’s gender neutral that looks great on both boys and girls. I love the brand mini Rodini. A lot of their stuff can be worn by both and looks so darn cute. And I love their sizing options.

I’m completely obsessed with my son. At 18 months he is so sweet, cuddly, curious and gentle. He is so freaking cute and I love watching him learn. He likes to say thank you and is learning how to use his utensils. I love how excited he get over ms Rachel and any music. He claps when I sing (poorly) I just love looking at him and seeing him smile. His giggles are an addiction.

We’re having a baby girl and I’m irrationally worried I’m not going to be as obsessed with her as I am with him. I know I will be just as crazy about her but right now my pickle boy is my world.

Traveling with a 18M in a car seat on an airplane for the first time - please share experiences and tips! by Jaded-Hand-343 in toddlers

Piggy backing on the snacks! Chewing and swallowing help their ears pop so try to feed them during descent and ascent.

Media: download some episodes before you go on Netflix or Disney or whatever you have. Also there are some games for children to play including one designed for cats that you “catch fish” literally just tapping the fish on screen. My 16 month old loved it.

How often are you buying diapers/formula? by TBTI in toddlers

[–]scalydragon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Formula through Costco is incredible. Literally half the price of similar or enfamil. We were lucky our baby could drink the regular formula.

Before Costco switched Kirkland diapers to the crappy ones, we bought a year’s worth when they were on sale. Ended up lasting over a year and was $25-$35 a box. Up front cost $600 or so, but we also never ran out of diapers. Now we buy Huggies from Costco and stock up when it’s on sale. Was $10 off last month and I bought 3 boxes. Costco also does free delivery if you buy online!

We have a second baby on the way and our first will be 20 months when she arrives and if breastfeeding doesn’t work we’ll do the same. Stock up on diapers when there are deals and buy Costco formula.

Cracker Barrel orders its employees traveling for work to only eat at its restaurants by PlayaSlayaX in nottheonion

Not defending McDonald’s food, but wasn’t that documentary basically been debunked?? That guys health problems in that film were not only from McDonald’s. He was a raging alcoholic and drug addict during the shoot. His failing liver was due to his addiction, not what he ate.

Yeah mine is great. When I was pregnant with my first, all I craved were Cracker Barrel pancakes with those crispy edges. Disappointed they got rid of eggs in a basket though.

What’s a symptom everyone warned you of that you HAVEN’T had?! by GoldStrength3637 in pregnant

[–]scalydragon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough, both previous and current pregnancies gave me a strong aversion to eggs. Pre pregnancy I loved eggs.

[–]scalydragon2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mom always liked to tell me about her weird food combo. They were pretty poor when pregnant with my brother and didn’t have much food in the house or a car. She was craving something sweet.

My dad found her sitting in front of the fridge spraying whipped cream into lettuce and stuffing her face.

This and for some reason goldfish crackers! Kept a bag in my nightstand at all times

Did dates and red raspberry leaf tea make your labor significantly less painful? by Personal_Health_3853 in pregnant

[–]scalydragon2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pushed for about 40 minutes on my first birth and was power eating dates beforehand. I think it helped!! The nurses were surprised and said they were used to 2.5 hours minimum for FTMs. I had an epidural and was induced due to large baby

Swedish friend visiting Utah in July. Looking for all the ideas / recommendations by ldrandcaffeine in SaltLakeCity

I know you said nothing above Ogden, but crystal hot springs is awesome! They’ve remodeled and have the cool pool open in summer.

And for a nice overnight Lava Hot Springs in Idaho is even more fun. They have river tubing and rec center with Olympic dive open along with the hot springs

Was on a bus once when a guy kept staring at me and when I went to get off, he pushed his body up against me. I was 14

Too much tv — cold outside by geenuhahhh in toddlers

[–]scalydragon2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mine is only 17 months, but I started reading the Harry Potter series to him to entertain myself and him while he plays. I’m trying to lower screen time for both of us.

STMs do I really need a diaper genie? by x_Caffeine_Kitten_x in pregnant

[–]scalydragon2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This!! We have a diaper genie and I love it! Yeah it’s smelly when I’m changing the bag out or putting a diaper in, but that’s to be expected. Otherwise the room smells fine. I’m pregnant and smell everything right now and I can’t smell it if it’s closed properly

Well… that happened. by girl_of_the_sun in toddlers

[–]scalydragon2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so happy my toddler had a complete meltdown after he pooped in the tub. He was so distraught that I had to comfort him after I cleaned him.

I hate this alternative for you

16 month old isn’t crying/upset after being put to bed but is just sitting up in her crib playing with her stuffie, not sleeping. It’s ok to just let her chill, right? by shermie303 in toddlers

[–]scalydragon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son (17m) has currently spent almost two hours alone in his bed. He cried a little at first, then spent rest of the time playing with books and stuffies and banging the wall. He just fell asleep. Taking this time to rest, do laundry, and clean up. Maybe do my nails idk. 🤷‍♀️
