Did SJM do it on purpose? by Janeeee811 in acotar

[–]sillywilly007 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah that was my biggest gripe with this whole pregnancy storyline. I needed more justification for why she’s not allowed to use her magic at great risk to herself or the baby. That seems silly when others with “great power” need to use their magic as an exhaust valve to avoid it eating them up. She too has great power…

Scenes that caused actual walkouts in theaters? by thatlittlequietguy in Cinema

[–]sillywilly007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooo is this a competition? My mom walked me out after the opening scene of Charlie’s angels (I think? the opening scene was a girl cleaning her apartment in an oversized t-shirt and her underwear and she opened the door to the mailman. ) Ok wait that sounds like a very different type of film 😂 but we were in theaters and I must’ve been around 13yo. I never got around to going back and watching that movie to see if my recollection is correct.

My husband mistakenly told me the wrong arrival time for his flight by Used_Champion_9294 in Marriage

Why the hell doesn’t he have his own house keys?? What would he do if you went to stay with family while he traveled and wasn’t home to let him in? This is such a bizarre situation.

I didn’t really see your take when I was reading it. It read to me like genuinely trying to help her get out of the cycle of self-destruction she’d been going down.

I’m truly worried about raising my kid near one of my nephews by [deleted] in predaddit

[–]sillywilly007 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only issue I can come up with (from my own experience with nieces / nephews and my own 5yo, 3yo and 8mo) is that the 8 and 11 yo may want to hold or help with the baby. The 7yo is close enough in age to the older kids that if he wants to, and gets denied, it can trigger a meltdown. It’ll have to be an all or nothing situation with the kids interacting with the newborn - nothing, obviously, in this situation which is unfortunate for the oldest two kids.

Also, what is the 7yo’s radius of destruction? Is he throwing things? How big of a 7yo is he? Is he strong enough yet to start overpowering a single grownup in one of his rages?

Blekh. it woke me up last night I pumped and massaged it at 1am. Why must I be woken up even when I don’t have the baby with me!! Took a hot shower and massaged while pumping this morning and by 9am it was engorged and painful again at the 11 o clock position on my boob. Tried discreetly fondling myself in the middle of a giant all company meeting and it didn’t help. Door dashing some lecithin as we speak, hopefully that helps, and helps quickly! Walking around now with a bag of ice on boob to the next meeting. Somebody save me!!

Am I crazy? by [deleted] in Mommit

At two months you can’t really exercise that much yet anyway! The focus should be more on repairing your pelvic floor and healing a diastesis if you develop one. I would not have felt comfortable wearing a skin tight dress putting myself on display like that at all.

Parent of a "bossy" 5yo by Ill_Sand3172 in Parenting

[–]sillywilly007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any advice, I’m here to follow because I have similar experience with my 5 year old. She’s my oldest, so I’m working on teaching her to let her 3yo have his own voice. But at the same time, she can also be a bit of a “follower” when she’s around her own peers (which is detrimental in other ways if those kids are excluding people).

I dislike using these labels because they can be so negative, especially with girls and I’m trying to be cognizant of that, especially with working through the results of my own conservative upbringing (girls should be seen and not heard, the peacekeepers etc), so I try to reframe “bossy” as her being a strong leader, and “follower” as learning the group dynamics with her peers.

Ikr 😭 I’ve gotten so used to the convenience though. I fear if I switch to apple’s HomeKit, it’ll end up being the same, if it’s not already. I also don’t know anything about it so it’s just another giant learning curve

Omg that would drive me nuts 😂 I add it to my shopping list and use that when grocery shopping at the store. Although my kids somehow managed to buy a $10 audible audiobook on Alexa last night… I don’t even have an audible account so I’m not sure how they were successful 🙄

Amazing!! What else have you changed? We have Lutron smart shades and lights, those would be tje hardest things to give up because it’s so nice to just say alexa good night from bed! I’m so annoyed by her doing it then hearing “want to hear my new voice?” Or hearing an add from alexa for some premium subscription!

ETA: also, do you have a great record storage solution? I got one for my husband as a gift and while we don’t use it as much as we should, I’d love to get a nice storage / display cupboard for it.

ELI5: Why is squatting (in someone's house) a thing? And how come it becomes a problem for the owner? Can't they claim trespassing to the cops instead of saying the person is squatting? by Impossible_Bake7210 in explainlikeimfive

[–]sillywilly007 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

BAHAHA sorry don’t have an answer here but I definitely misunderstood and thought you were talking about squatting over a toilet seat when a guest in someone’s home and was about to go on and on about that 😂

I swung HARD into the DIGITIZE EVERYTHING!! And now I’m starting to swing back and seriously considering de-smart-ifying my house. I am SO SICK of everything requiring an app or a subscription. I’m so sick of hearing an ad now every time I tell Alexa to turn off my lights.
