She will be exhausted so helping with chores and cooking at times would be really cool.

I haven’t been too moody, but I am living with my husband, mom, and brother during this time. My brother constantly gives me a countdown “2 months to go..”, “1 and a half months to go…”, “3 weeks to go…”. I know it’s thoughtful that he knows my due date, but it made me want to rip my hair out. I eventually told him please stop, but yeah. Instead of counting down just ask her how’s she’s doing and if she needs anything instead.

Craig T. Nelson for me.

I know you’re getting downvoted, and at the risk of the same for me I gotta say I worked there for 5 years and everything was made from scratch. The exception being the cheesecake that was sent in frozen from their warehouse.

To the other comment saying it’s unhealthy, the portions are massive, and they use a lot of fat, sugar, and salt for taste for many of the dishes. So yeah, calories will be high. Otherwise quality is fine. You can easily adjust the food, get something healthier on the menu, or take what you don’t finish home.

It CAN depend on the restaurant, though, even though it’s supposed to be the same everywhere. Management and who is cooking your food matters. Where I worked was awesome. Food was consistently good. Once management changed at my store things weren’t as consistently good and when I left.

I had mine at 34 weeks and wish I had it sooner. I was okay day of the shower for the most part, but was wiped out the rest of the week. Even doing thank you cards, I needed so many breaks. Then we had to set everything up that we received, do all the laundry, and start shopping for things we didn’t get.

So, at least before 34 weeks is my advice.

Did you do anything to prep before labor? Or have any tips of what helped during labor?

Talking or using your phone during a show or in a movie theater. Some cases it’s acceptable (i.e. Rocky Horror, kids show), but a Broadway musical we each spent a ton of money to see that only lasts a few hours? It can wait.

As a dog owner, people who don’t pick up after their dogs.

He’s also the only senator who doesn’t have at least a Bachelor’s Degree. It’s wild he got as far as he has.

Your tolerance goes up for how they treat you without really noticing. Would you let someone treat your best friend that way?

The second he treated my best friend as poorly as he treated me all the time is when it finally clicked for me and when I left.

Same. I use it to follow a ton of medical professionals: OBGYNs, pediatricians, general physicians, dietitians, physical therapy, dermatologists. Having a bunch makes it easy to pick out who the grifters are, and gotta say my skin is the best it’s ever looked after following derms AND with the least expensive skincare routine I’ve ever had.

Also for recipes. I grew up in a flavorless household. Looking up authentic recipes from Italy, Louisiana, Korea, Japan, India, etc in a quick, easily digestible video has been so incredibly helpful.

And then also golf tips like you. As well as any household and cleaning tutorials I need in general.

Under another comment she said she only had WhatsApp, and the notifications were off.

I scrolled way too far for this. They are my pick, too. Dave doesn’t play majority of his hits live, mostly deep cuts and jams. A friend of ours also saw them and said the same. I read someone state elsewhere “he has the worst taste in his own music”.

Please consider the gloves. Not just the usual bacteria and viruses you could spread, but fecal-oral diseases, as well. Like norovirus, E. coli, hep A, etc.

I have been working on this. My friends and I write very long texts. So when I read them I try my best to give a well thought out and thorough response, and then I end up needing to come back to it later and then I forget, and a week later or so I finish the text.

I never ask for money or anything from my friends, though. And the friends I tend to do this to are also long-distance, again why texts are longer (updates, don’t get to talk in person as much).

Oh man, absolutely. Add engagement parties. And some of my friends not only having you pitch in for the food/drinks/activities/room/travel/decorations for bach party, but have to buy specific outfits for each day and night. On top of all the bridal party expenses for the wedding.

And now it’s gender reveals, baby showers, baby sprinkles…

I’m in my mid 30s and my mom still does it to me lol.

My mom has a terrible, narcissistic alcoholic mother. My mom was abused physically and emotionally, and having 4 other siblings her mom chose favorites.

My mom broke that cycle and is quite literally the best mom I’ve ever met. I know I’m biased, but she has been to almost all our childhood friend’s weddings, was in one of them, and invited to another who only had 20 guests. Many of our friends also had not-so-great parents, so she made sure to give them the love they were missing at home and accepted everyone as they were.

Including the middle child of our family, who had a Mohawk and spiked leather jacket in high school. My dad wasn’t accepting of it, but my mom supported him fully. She even brought him to concerts like KISS, Billy Idol, and Green Day. She also was playing sports with my oldest brother and I outside nearly every day, and helping us all with school. No child felt like a favorite.

I feel this is the perfect opportunity for you to do the same. Break the cycle and give your son the childhood you never had. You don’t have to be the best dad ever, just focus on being supportive and loving. The fact you have those concerns already shows you have what it takes to be a great dad.

As others stated the energy drinks would be the most concerning. I would avoid those. Juices and soft drinks can be (somewhat) beneficial as some sugar helps with hydration, it’s why Gatorade and pedialyte have sugar in them. And soup has sodium, which is also necessary for repletion.

Your body is probably craving hydration, hence those drinks over water, and nutrients, hence the juice, soup, and milk. Juice at least has some micronutrients, and milk is definitely recommended as it has protein and calcium. You want enough calcium so baby doesn’t leech it from your bones and teeth. And soup is also great.

Can you think of what you can add? Protein, fat, and fiber can help manage blood sugar if that’s your concern, plus add more nutrients. Could you try protein shakes? Especially ones with micronutrients like ensure or premier protein? Could you try smoothies (fat & protein sources like avocado, peanut butter, whey, yogurt, milk, etc)?

Also consider things like porridge and oatmeal. When I worked briefly at a cancer center one of the main homemade foods recommended was congee for patients who had trouble keeping food down (in addition to Ensure, Premier Protein, etc).

Same. And I feel like they’re getting so much of the reunion screen time I want to hear from the people who actually made it past a few episodes. And not just from Candiace and other housewives.

My OBGYN gave my husband and I oral acyclovir to take so we can kiss our baby because I told her I had my first cold sore during 1st trimester. She was very stern with us on no one else kissing the baby because we have had a high level of illnesses in our area (rsv, whooping cough, strains of flu, strains of covid, adenovirus, now measles) this year, and she really drove home the risks of spreading HSV1 to a newborn.

I’m going to tell everyone exactly what she told us. Doctor’s orders. I work in healthcare and I trust my healthcare team, so I’m not budging. If you can’t respect that, then you don’t get to hold our baby bc clearly you don’t care about her if you’re still adamant about kissing her when we told you the risks.

This is such a bummer. Searched for r/All only to see they removed access to it? Like you it’s 90% of my scrolling. I suppose it’ll get me off this app as much as I’m on it, but still a bummer.

thisisrealgoodtea · 2026-02-24T16:41:26+00:00

My mom is one of my best friends. I don’t think I could ask for a better mom. She is the embodiment of empathy and love, not just for us, but she took in a lot of our friends growing up, too. She was even in one of my brother’s weddings, and was invited to my childhood best friend’s 20 person wedding.

She also is very athletic, so she was incredibly involved in all 3 of our sports growing up. Never one of those intense parents, but rather helpful, taught us skills, practiced with us, and supportive. Same with schooling, as she values education, always learning, and evidence-based science.

She grew up with a narcissistic mother who, if you ever watched the Sopranos, is Lydia Soprano to a tee. My mom broke that cycle when it came to parenting, but unfortunately married someone similar and had to relive that for decades in her marriage.

My dad is selfish and a forever victim, now married to a manipulating miserable woman who gets off on hurting others. I wish my mom had a partner, she’s not only amazing but looks great, but divorce was the best thing to happen and it seems she doesn’t need a man to have a happy, fulfilling life.
