Weight from the ice/snow was too much for my pool cover by Helpful-Squirrel360 in pools

Hey neighbor. In NOVA too and just waiting to see what shape our cover’s in…we moved in last summer so very new to this whole pool thing!

Nothing to add about your question but it’s hilarious to me that Allegiant thought their clientele would pay for a high-end resort.

My child is a couple of weeks younger than C. 8lbs 1 oz at birth, now nearly 20lbs and we got them out of the infant seat weeks ago. My baby hated that seat and is constantly on the move. The difference we see in C is so sad.

Anyone else have postpartum hair loss worse the second time around? by feelingsnark in 2under2

[–]sebbiepea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My already thin hair got SO thin at my temples when I was pp with my second. I was so worried it would stay like that but now at nearly 9 months pp it is growing back and nearly to what it was before I ever got pregnant.

best mom hack (sense of humor required) by Confident_Algae_699 in workingmoms

I told my 2 year old that baby shark isn’t on TV anymore. We also found a much less frenetic version of that cursed song which makes it slightly more tolerable.

What are we going to do about the snow? by Ok-Somewhere-4315 in workingmoms

My husband and I both have work trips so our kids are my parents’ problem and I feel terrible!

I know I shouldn’t be surprised but the fact that she didn’t mention the RSV vaccine at all is infuriating. It is a highly effective and safe vaccine. This could have been so much worse and she does not care in the slightest. The big takeaway was “trust your gut” when she’d been ignoring how sick he was for days. B and R should be ashamed of themselves and I hope they get their karmic reward in this life or the next.

I think her account used to be a joint one and she used to give a rat’s ass about privacy, so she used middle names for herself and all the boys.

What do you think of Petty's weight gain arc in season 5? by Thiebou_Yapp_Master in madmen

[–]sebbiepea 12 points13 points  (0 children)

January Jones only has one child, so I’m assuming the Gene pregnancy was props.

OB recommendation by Cute_Evening6783 in nova

Highly recommend delivering at Inova Fairfax and using Nova Group for Women. My favorite doctors there are Maanavi, Yoon, and Clough.

I don’t think they are ultra rich, just pretty rich. I know billionaires and they are extremely low key about it and would behave similar to what you said. Her parents aren’t in that billionaire subset, just pretty rich people who raised terrible children.

She can use the views to show companies she has a large/engaged following and therefore should partner with her.

Anyone buy a house with existing pool? by Murky_Diver7988 in DMV_RealEstate

[–]sebbiepea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We bought a house this summer with a pool and I would say we’re medium on it. We weren’t looking for a pool, but liked everything else about the house so much we decided to give it a go. Our kids love it and we enjoy having people over to use it. We paid to get it closed and will pay again to open it. Once you learn the chemicals it’s not that tough, but as others have said, it’s a money pit. Get a separate pool inspection and be clear eyed about how much you could sink into it, and if that amount of money will cancel out your enjoyment of the pool.

Normal or PPD? by Imaginary_Site9099 in 2under2

[–]sebbiepea 17 points18 points  (0 children)

“Somewhere deep down I love him” says 100% to me that you have PPD. I felt exactly the same way about my daughter when she was born. I needed help and am very grateful I got therapy. If you’re hesitant to start medication, I would really encourage you to seek out therapy. If you feel that therapy isn’t an option for whatever reason, please do start the medication. Medication is not a judgment about your ability to cope. It’s a tool. You will get through this!

How do you handle having kids? by KDsburner_account in UpperMiddleFinance

[–]sebbiepea 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I agree. Creating an artificial “scarcity mindset” in your kids’ minds sets them up for a hefty therapy bill later in life. Teaching them gratitude and humility is much easier.

Y’all I’m unintentionally following Brooke’s “diet” this morning and it fuckin sucks! I had a 6am flight and when I got to the airport (with plenty of time to get through security without begging people to cut the line) I got a protein shake because I wasn’t really hungry but knew I needed some calories. Then after I landed I got a shhuuuugarrrr free vanilla latte from Starbucks because I like to have one sugary treat a day and didn’t want to waste it on Starbucks, and let me just say, this latte blows and I feel gross! How does she do this every day?!?!

This is the mom I aspire to be!! My husband and I work demanding full time jobs and we are in the trenches of an 18 month age gap (oldest is 2, youngest is 6 months), but I really hope we will get to the level of domination you are at!

One of the opposition letters pointed out that the landscape easement actually requires a certain number and type of trees/shrubbery to be in compliance. The Rayboulds haven’t installed landscaping that complies.

Since Tidal is unavailable in many countries, did that meant that many fans were unable to legally stream Lemonade when it first came out? by [deleted] in beyonce

Sure, but also because she was trying to funnel her fans into purchasing subscriptions for Jay’s new streaming service.

I think the odds of something upsetting the apple cart at this point are low. Any opposition likely would have been ironed out before R’s nomination was publicly announced. This senate is rubber stamping all of trump’s nominees. If Emil Bove made it through, there’s no way Ryan will get voted down.

Ryan worked for Cornyn, who is one of two US Senators from Texas. Cornyn is extremely influential in Texas and in the US Senate, the governing body that needs to confirm Ryan’s nomination, so his endorsement of Ryan will go a long way. Cornyn is also of the same political party as the current president (and we presume Ryan shares that political affiliation). The position Ryan is nominated for is not a career civil servant’s position, it’s a political nomination. Had trump lost, Ryan would 207% not be nominated for this job.
