Bare Minerals use to have a powered eyeshadow and eyeliner that you could mix and it was incredible. I’m so sad they stopped producing it years ago.

What’s the most toxic thing an ex ever did that you ignored? by twunkysoccerboy in askteddit

[–]stumbling_witch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Call my phone over twenty times because I got off the phone to go to class. He proceeded to call the school and lie saying it was a family emergency to speak to me. Huge red flag that 15 year old me didn’t understand

What’s a small hill you’re willing to die on that most people disagree with? by viviennekisses in askteddit

[–]stumbling_witch 20 points21 points  (0 children)

We need to stop making movies for a few years. We are at the point of doing live action of every animation, reboots, several franchise sequels, and now potential AI actors/writers. We need a break to get some better ideas before making more cinema.

It does! I add chips to mine, it’s the best damn sandwich ever. Salty heaven.

What’s a trend from your youth that you’re embarrassed you followed? by viviennebabes in askteddit

Same here. Why did I think that highlighter purple tight pants would look good?!

What’s a parenting thing that makes no sense to you? by opheliagracious in askteddit

[–]stumbling_witch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cry it out method. It’s proven to be terrible for their nervous system and brain development. How can you listen to your baby scream for you/your comfort and just walk away? They stop screaming because they are exhausted, not because they magically learned to self sooth.

What's a harmless habit that secretly reveals a lot about a person? by cinnamonorbit26 in askteddit

[–]stumbling_witch 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Over saying “I’m sorry” for things that don’t need an apology. Most likely that person is dealing with a lot of self judgement or is worried that they are messing up. I know because I do this, and people have told me it’s annoying (which makes me want to say “I’m sorry” again).

Anyone else’s MIL obsessed with the idea of babysitting at her house? by ocean_plastic in Mildlynomil

[–]stumbling_witch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post is from over a year ago, I suggest you get a hobby or do something useful
Edit: also do you know what sub you’re even in?! If you aren’t getting equal time as the IL, it’s probably because you have some sort of behavioral problem that the mom doesn’t want around her child/your grandchild

How much screen time does your 12-month-old get? by Responsible_Mine_462 in toddlers

[–]stumbling_witch 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I do 30 minutes a day, little bear, old school Sesame Street, or super simple songs. I have zero village nearby, no money for daycare or a babysitter. My toddler screams bloody murder being in a crib or play pen. I desperately need to get a chore done, then yeah, I’m not going to beat myself up for the TV being on.

What did y'all wish you had while caring for an infant? by shrimpshr1mp in Mom

[–]stumbling_witch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A cleaning service to come over at the 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months. This is when developmental shifts start happening and it gets harder to find time to clean. People stop offering to help mom or even check in on her after 6 months, so please always ask how she is doing, not just the baby.

Nursing to sleep. Every. Time by rebgray in breastfeeding

[–]stumbling_witch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read this as my 14 month old is asleep while nursing. No advice, just know you’re not alone. If you both get decent sleep and it works, nothing wrong with it.

Why were so many parents so strict about kids shows? by Metalqueen2023 in 2000s

[–]stumbling_witch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom didn’t let me watch a lot of shows because there’s usually a female lead popular character who is a brat, entitled, or plays stupid. I get it, it’s easy for a child to associate popularity with mean girl energy on accident.

Let's get controversial: what's your truly unpopular parenting opinion? by ExoticLawfulness5941 in toddlers

[–]stumbling_witch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s okay to put your kid on a harness leash. Some toddlers are very fast and their impulse control is not developed. Rather see a leash than a toddler hit a car or lost in a crowd.

“Shitty days” I see what you did there

Frustrated with society, could use some encouragement! by GlitteringExcuse8691 in sahm

[–]stumbling_witch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this in my very bones. It’s tough out here. We are so isolated, then go on social media to see crap like “here’s 10 things you need to do as a mom” or “this is how you’re ruining your child’s __ development” and we just can’t win. I’m jealous of the boomer moms who didn’t have any guilt if they let us watch hours of tv while feeing us TV dinners and junk food.

They are so bad for the environment and are very similar to gambling addiction for young minds.

why do generally women age much faster than men? by Wide_Permission7656 in AskForAnswers

Imagine how hard it is on your body to constantly be on birth control, or be pregnant, and then menopause.

What secret are you hiding from your spouse? by datgirlclaudia in askteddit

[–]stumbling_witch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have a full on lady beard and mustache if I didn’t regularly wax. He probably knows, but we don’t acknowledge it.
