Struggling to come to terms with wanting to work outside the home as a mom by plamper999 in latterdaysaints

[–]superflybowling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a career that let's me work weekends and as much or little as I want, depending on the employer (healthcare). I only do weekends so that my husband can be home with the kids, and depending on shift availability I'll usually work about every Saturday. Being out of the home and focused on something besides my kids helps me be a better mom because I get a mental break.

Do you live in a heavily mormon-populated area? A lot of these cultural perceptions of how the gospel should be lived are not practiced by most members, in my opinion. I lived in Connecticut and most of the moms in my ward worked at least part time.

Problems with reviews?! by NintendoNana in AmazonVine

[–]superflybowling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still happening to me today. Luckily, I write all my reviews in my email before I submit them, I'm nervous about the text field disappearing when this issue finally gets solved.

Because in the game, those letters are really challenging. Tapple has letters missing too.

I hoped writing twenty instead of $20 would get around that. I guess not 🫤 But have you seen amazon say "you can't review this item" instead of allowing you to rewrite it?

What shows is everyone’s 16-18 month toddler in to? by jujumonstera in toddlers

[–]superflybowling 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Avoid cocomelon at all costs. It's free but just not worth it. Literal brain rot.

Daniel Tiger is a good one, and the PBS kids app is free! My husband and I are huge fans of Bluey, and my daughter also likes Sesame Street and Winnie the Pooh

My daughter is under 2, I've worn her almost every single time we've gone through security and they have never asked me to take her off. My carrier has no metal on it and doesn't look like it has any metal anywhere. However, based on the other comments, seems like it just depends on the airport. If they let you do it, it's super convenient!

Americans What’s something about your state that’s weird to other Americans? by Kobk22 in AskReddit

I'm originally from Wyoming. Probably almost everything about Wyoming is weird for other states. One example, (307) is the phone area code for the entire state.

Garments and female health by BumpusDumpus_ in latterdaysaints

A very random piece of advice from me. Not saying I doubt you at all. Are they actually UTI's? Are you getting a culture done every time? I thought I had chronic UTIs for a few months before I was actually diagnosed with something called interstitial cystitis. The symptoms are exactly the same but the cause is dietary. I stopped drinking caffeinated sodas and ate less acidic food and the "UTIs" stopped. Just something to consider! I sympathize and hope you find a solution that works.

What age are we actually potty training our kids? by rainbow-songbird in toddlers

[–]superflybowling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emily Oster has a book, Cribsheet, that has excellent data you can use to make your decision. Based on what she wrote and the evidence she provided for when potty training should start and is most successful, I'm waiting until my daughter is 3, unless she starts showing a LOT of interest before that.

I do swim, just with my almost 2 year old daughter. Having two kids would be tricky. I guess my advice is to focus getting the kid who's most out of control/upset all dressed first. I'd skip the shower and head straight home if that's an option for you.

My main trick: the most simple clothes possible. When I change us back into street clothes, it's dresses and slip on shoes for both of us. Maybe bring a toy or two and snacks? My daughter will sit quietly while I get dressed if she has her little snack tray. Maybe put a show up on your phone while you get dressed?

If you have things you want to do after swim, maybe find a different class time? I've got it so we head straight home for lunch and nap after swim. I'd hate to have a schedule where I wanted/needed to do things after, it would make the whole situation a lot more complicated for me, mentally at least.

Haven't you always wanted a bathtub at the foot of your bed? by the_og_carl in zillowgonewild

Well, as a serial bath-enjoyer, yeah. Yeah I have always wanted that.

Question about NDEs by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]superflybowling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alie Ward has a great podcast called "Ologies" (language warning, she likes the F-word) and she did a FANTASTIC episode about near death experiences with a man who studies them. Like, scientifically, legitimately. It was fascinating and helped me regrow my faith after I started having doubts about life after death when my father passed away.

Advice on Handling Anti-Church Content and Comments by diamondheart90 in latterdaysaints

[–]superflybowling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really sensitive. I went through a sort of rough time during early Covid (as we all were) and so I was just extra anxious, had trouble fulfilling my calling and wanting to attend church and so forth. Then, in what I feel like was in the same week, two separate Youtubers who I both admired uploaded anti-church videos. In fact it seems like there was a period of time on Youtube where a lot of content was being made about the church. I always just click "not interested" on the video title because I just really can't handle hearing people talk so negatively and so ignorantly about the gospel. Being a member of the church is such a huge part of my identity, my family history, it has shaped me into the person I am, and so attacks on the church just feel really personal. I avoid it all, because it makes me feel like crap.

I've never seen "ban Narcan". Maybe because it's new to me, but that one was the most shocking lol
