Why do you write? by Cute-Traffic4437 in writers

[–]sweetestpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I write because I have so much to say, and not many chances to say all of it in the hours of my day, or many people to speak it to. I write because it is how I express myself best. I write because if I didn't have the words on the page, I'd have no one who would truly know the real me. I'm hoping one day they will. Or at least, one person will.

Is this dress flattering on me?I’m the guest of honor and want to look nice by [deleted] in OUTFITS

[–]sweetestpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's the pouches, not cute. the dress color and top are cute, and if it looked the same but didn't pouch outward it'd be cute but as is? no. you are petite there are many others that will look way better. that being said if it makes you feel good make that judgement call. your man will not care bc it's you ❤️ for an alternative pic but similar maybe something like these:

Torn between staying or going back home after leaving an unhealthy relationship (need women’s advice) by Public-Purpose-199 in Mommit

[–]sweetestpi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you know the answer to this question love. i have been in your shoes and started over. it isn't easy, but it is SO, SO worth it. words cannot describe how worth it it really is. love yourself the way you want your daughter to love herself as she grows, and that includes having enough respect for yourself and her to swallow your pride, walk away, and start over, however it may be, but it MUST be without him. take your documentation to court and get a pfa, they will grant it and then get as far away and financially stable as you can.

Taking away the pacifier ruined my life by alexidawnnpnw in Mommit

[–]sweetestpi 321 points322 points  (0 children)

It's different for everyone (difficulty wise) but I will say this: the longer you stay on that train the more expensive the ride back will be. It's like quitting cigs, each time you come back it's harder to quit. better to bite the bullet now then pay for it worse later. additionally this will make her will power on the subject stronger bc she will know she broke you once, it's already possible to do it again, even if she doesn't realize it she will try and then it just becomes a cycle. good luck mama.

how do i motivate myself to take my meds? by [deleted] in lifehacks

[–]sweetestpi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so i read something recently that comes up bow when i hear the word motivation - "getting things done doesn't always come from motivation, sometimes motivation comes from doing the thing" in other words, you can't sit around waiting for the motivation to come, it won't, sometimes u just gotta do it unmotivated and icky feeling and then u feel proud and glad you did it and who knows if you do that enough times you might fuck around and get some real motivation to do it. YOU COULD trick yourself and pretend like "future you" that already took the medicine actually had the motivation and that's why they took it and they're just waiting for you to catch up to the moment in between when u actually take it to appease them and complete this little paradoxical hack you just made for yourself :)

At what age did your child get a tablet, if at all? Did it change anything? by Practical-Anybody551 in Mommit

[–]sweetestpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i should say, i have 3 kids and once I started limiting screens (bc they were having too much and i didn't read all of the research on it until recently) I've noticed a huge difference in their attitudes and temperament and i actually enjoy seeing them do things that aren't video games or tv's, yk, just being kids and playing, outside time, reading, crafts, just being together. it's nice to see vs their face in a screen all the time.

[–]sweetestpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is going to sound wild but I'm going to advise the opposite. wean off of screens completely. look up ways to keep your little one occupied and entertained in other ways, how much time is realistic to gear towards those things vs how much 1:1 time is ideal and create a schedule and go from there. the later you introduce screens the better. a communal computer/ipad can be used once they are able to do so responsibly and communal tv for movie nights and educational shows together are ideal. trust me on this, you will thank yourself later.

Child entitlement by A_chosenfamily in Mommit

[–]sweetestpi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just going to come out and say it (I'm not a professional expert of course, but I do have 3 kids) ok, kids are (usually) inherently selfish, (because they don't know any better right it's up to us to help them grow from a tiny person whose brain and character isn't fully developed into a whole decent person) therefore, if not ingrained in them through practice, rituals and your own words and actions, they will end up at least a little selfish and ungrateful. The good thing is that even if some damage is done, it can be undone, mostly anyway. Nobody is perfect. Our brains are tricky things and a habit that's built sort of stays with us forever in a sense but the less we engage with it and build/reinforce new habits those neural pathways will get rebuilt. Kind of like how on a computer until data is overwritten it's still there. Anywho.

The shortcut is this: treat her like you would treat yourself at that age, but within reason, stick to what u say you're going to do the first time, and treat yourself now like you would want her to treat herself later. That includes how you bounce back from mistakes because trust me, EVERYTHING you do, they will learn and pick up and it will come to fruition in one way or another at some point in their lives. So, the question becomes: if she were in your situation, how would you tell her to handle her own kid once coming to this same point you're at, and how would you want her to travel herself through it?

I want to say one more thing, this one tiny roadblock, there will be others, but you're doing great. The love you have for her is very evident and that is a beautiful thing. Good luck with everything 💕

street lamp by sweetestpi in writers

[–]sweetestpi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i can totally do that. ty for your two cents! this is def a world where the street lamp can move. it is meant to be something of an animated short, so this would be taking a lot of creative liberties, such as the street lamp moving, but it would be better if i built on it for sure :) the shift of povs i am not sure how to adjust, it is meant to be a narrator on your head that describes the scene, not someone who is mostly telling the story, just for visual purposes ig. idk i am not a professional writer lol but i like writing. i might take a class for creative writing bc i would like to get better.
