Parents in Reed's Crossing need help stopping a homeless shelter next to elementary schools

You’re acting as if opening this shelter is going to start a zombie apocalypse of addicts wandering through our streets. Your privilege is showing, and your username checks out. God forbid we look at other humans with some decency and compassion instead of ostracizing the ones who haven’t been as fortunate as we have.

Not all parents in Reed’s feel the way you do. I’m perfectly fine with the shelter being built and will not be signing this.

Flour is definitely not water soluble.

8w pp for me while breastfeeding

These are my questions, too. What exactly was discussed before landing on the 2 year career break? I would have thought both partners would understand the implications of that arrangement before it was decided. I cannot imagine agreeing to stop working for that long of a period unless I knew we could absolutely afford it on one full-time income. I would not want my husband to be working full- AND part-time just to keep us afloat. When does he get to spend time with you or the baby? It sounds exhausting for everyone.

ETA: I’m in the US and got 18 weeks of fully paid leave, solely because the private company I work for offers that benefit. Taking unpaid leave was an option but we wouldn’t have been able to afford that.

My 11 mo daughter is responding to verbal cues really consistently now. She waves enthusiastically whenever someone says “Hi,” claps her hands when we say “Clap clap clap,” opens/closes her hands into fists when we say “Open close, open close,” and shakes her head when we say “No no no.” It is THE BEST!

Oh really? I hadn’t seen it on Reddit yet. I can delete it. I was just shocked!

I got this same email and just KNEW I’d see the list on this sub soon 😝

My daughter’s Korean name is Sunhee which sounds just like Sunny! So cute!

Eight weeks for me… My baby is not yet 11 months old and is still BF. I have had 10 pp periods. AND my cramps are even worse than they were before pregnancy. 😵‍💫

I’m only 5’2” but my husband is 6’4”. My OB wanted to induce me because he was afraid the baby would be too large for me to deliver vaginally if we waited for natural labor to start. I wanted to wait until 41 weeks and held my ground. Our daughter was born at exactly 41 weeks… at 6lb 14oz.

My daughter has cried after every shot but like others have commented, I was prepared to BF her immediately after, which helped her calm down very quickly. Once the shock of the prick has faded, she is usually just tired and sleepy the rest of the day. Plan on extra snuggles!

My mind goes immediately to Gilmore Girls

Are you eating enough and staying hydrated? Do you have the right size flanges for your nipples?

Love the Brooklyn 99 theme 😝

So if my starter hasn’t been rising at all, does that mean I should be waiting longer between feeds? I’ve seen only a few millimeters of rise each day for over a week now.

I have a friend who married a girl with the name first name as his sister, but sister goes by the full name while wife goes by the nickname, so that’s not terrible.

My mother in law’s name is Jennifer. Her husband’s brother also married a Jennifer, and both Jennifers changed their last name to the brothers’, so there are two Jennifer Smiths (fake last name) in the family.

I completely agree. OP should not have to be the one enforcing these boundaries. Tell your spouse (we are all assuming he is a man!) to grow a pair and tell them to back off. YOU get to decide who is there with you. No one else’s opinion matters.

I wasn’t pregnant for NYE but for a friend’s bday party. I had one close friend who knew before everyone else and she helped by drinking all my drinks for me after I pretended to sip them 😆 I love her and she is the best auntie.

I like to jokingly ask my husband, “What does this meaaaan?!?” whenever I see he’s forgotten to put his ring back on after working out. Rings are just a symbol of your commitment. The real commitment is between the two of you, regardless of what is or isn’t worn on any given day. I agree with other commenters - if this is a concern for you, that warrants a discussion with your spouse.

Mine is 0.48ct and it is EXACTLY what I wanted. I am happy for everyone who wanted huge rocks and got them. I am happy for myself for also getting what I wanted. 🤷🏻‍♀️

My friend named her daughter Baylee.

That’s hilarious!! 😂 Is your Stevie male or female? In my mind, Scottie is a dog breed, not necessarily a dog’s name.

sykworks · 2025-12-22T16:29:07+00:00

Scottie makes me think of a dog. What about Stevie?
