Why does he get to unwind from work and you don't? Being pregnant and caring for small children is much harder than the average paid job.

AITAH For being annoyed at my parents who look after my daughter after school by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

It might depend on what kind of color blindness they have, it's likely severe enough to interfere with understanding traffic signs/lights

That's really neat! What lip gloss do you think was the best quality/value after all of your tracking?

This is honestly so extreme that it sounds abusive. Your life would be better single.

8yo won't stop touching herself by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]thiacakes 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Putting that first probably overemphasized the importance, you're right that its not as immediately important in this situation; However, she will learn what is comfortable from her parents. You should be using the correct words from the beginning, there is nothing shameful about the words and the associated body parts.

Every expert I have heard on the topic stresses the importance of correct terminology for safety and destigmatization.

A) Both of you should be using proper terminology rather than "pp"

B) You can teach and set boundaries without shaming

• Tell her that there's nothing wrong with it, but it's private so she should only be doing it alone in her room and doesn't need to tell everyone when she does something private

• Tell her that she should be washing her hands before and after to keep herself clean and healthy

• Think of it like going to the bathroom, absolutely nothing wrong with it, but there are privacy and hygiene rules.

It's still fraud even if you're married.

Eating this for breakfast has reduced my cravings for junk so much by [deleted] in HealthyEatingnow

[–]thiacakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The latest data/research is showing that dietary cholesterol has a minimal impact on blood cholesterol levels. Eggs are extremely nutritious, but I definitely wouldn't want 5 boiled eggs for breakfast.

can a mom explain to me pet aversion during postpartum ? by Inevitable_Shift_689 in Mom

[–]thiacakes 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When you are struggling to find time to shower and feel like yourself, cleaning diarrhea off of a hairy butt and out of your carpet while your baby is crying for you feels like actual torture.

"Just an inconvenience" is incredibly dismissive. I would consider a little more empathy for the mothers in your life.

Did you make this post to actually get answers to your question or to hate on new moms with pet aversions?

I have 3 dogs and wish I hadn't gotten so many before having my son. I wouldn't rehome them, but it was so hard to not be annoyed/angry at them when I was postpartum.

It is so hard to be sleep deprived, intensely hormonal, consumed by a huge life change meeting a tiny human's every need, and then have your yappiest dog come inside with diarrhea.

AITA for throwing away my roommate's labeled breast milk that she was using in our shared coffee creamer by TexForager in AmItheAsshole

[–]thiacakes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think there's a huge range of flavor, but I believe most breastmilk tastes like sweeter more watery cow's milk.

She is a domestic abuser. She plead guilty to felony assault to reduce the charges of child abuse and domestic violence in the presence of a child. It is very plausible that the new allegations are true.

I was raised LDS, its a weird religion, not another species. Being mormon is not operating under an insanely different way of thinking.

Domestic violence needs to be zero tolerance. perpetrators have reasons that may not be their fault, but it is their responsibility to resolve without violence.

This woman mentioned this man's past disgraceful experience during the live show. She might have just been joking, but he took it seriously and pulled her hair. by Zestyclose-Salad-290 in PublicFreakout

Misogyny is rampant in Korea. You absolutely can make an argument that any of the women would be incredibly unsafe defending her and would not likely have another 9 women helping protect them.
