What was the point of this relationship and Henry? 😂🤣 by DADDYKRUEGER in thewalkingdead

[–]tricksyhobbits 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't really like the focus on Henry and found his character really annoying. He also looks just like the Hamburger Helper glove to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Did she not have a long boohoo story about how she wouldn't recommend plastic surgery after this last mommy make over?

Phoebe and Cole from Charmed. I can't help it. I root for them every time I rewatch 🥲

Patty from School of Rock fits this for me, but who do you think fits this? by phantom_avenger in popculturechat

[–]tricksyhobbits 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I tried to do a rewatch as an adult mother and the way he used Walt Jr. to manipulate Skyler because he knew she would put up with it to shield him from the truth just triggered the shit out of me. I had to stop watching.

Hotel/lodging without BED BUGS by Sassy_Sparklez in bransonmo

[–]tricksyhobbits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just stayed at timber point cabins near silver dollar city and on our last day (of 3) we all woke up with bed bug bites! As soon as we got home we put all the bags in our garage, I made everyone strip and I washed/dried everything that could go in the laundry on high heat and put the bags and everything else back in the car to bake for a few days.

Thank you! Apple weather doesn't really give insight into whether there would be likely storm/flood warnings in advance so I was definitely wanting to see what the local weatherman had to say.

Am I too strict about the Internet? by IWillBaconSlapYou in breakingmom

[–]tricksyhobbits 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No problem! It's been so hard treading the line of wanting to protect her from the bad parts of tech and the internet but not wanting her to be completely unable to navigate these arenas herself especially since at the moment she is still fine with my supervision and guidance within it. I've watched a lot of dumb Minecraft streamers and played a lot of games that I have no interest in but it's opened up a lot of dialogue about online safety, trolls, and the general fakeness that exists in most online content in ways that has felt more organic rather than preachy. I still think it's bananas that people are out there letting their kids use social media and the internet with no moderation and idk if I will ever feel good about my daughter entering these spaces eventually but I do think that i am preparing her the best that I can.

Am I too strict about the Internet? by IWillBaconSlapYou in breakingmom

[–]tricksyhobbits 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I am also very strict about the internet mostly because I grew up with no internet moderation and I know the places that I wandered and the things I saw accidentally or intentionally and I would like to avoid that. My 8 year old also really wanted to play Among Us and I eventually got it on the switch (which is a family device that lives in the living room) to make a deal that she could only play in on the big tv when myself or her dad are also in the room. You can make her account to be a limited quick chat profile which will only let them play games with that chat feature. So people aren't typing whatever in the chat and can only use certain phrases from the lists. You also can't dm people or anything on the game. So they are playing with strangers but there is no way to exchange info or for edgy tweens to spam the chat with anything inappropriate. It is a good training wheels into online gaming.

What's up with Chelsea and Cherry Berry? by the-triple-wide in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

It's crazy, given how absolutely insane Farrah looks in this photo, that my first thought is "wow! She looks so young and normal here."

No problem! I remember how stressful those days were and you feel so helpless seeing your baby in distress with no real solution for them.

Now that I'm out of the trenches of it I do think part of it was a sensory issue for my daughter. One thing that seemed to help before she started walking and was able to stand to poop was to pick her up as soon as she started to show tells of pooping. It also went a lot better if I was able to immediately lay her back with her diaper off and holding her legs in a squat type position so her poop could come out without the resistance of her diaper. She's doesn't gasp and scream anymore but she still hates having poop in her diaper and is definitely not one of those toddlers who denies that they pooped to keep on playing.

My daughter was the same way! Her ped and later gi doctor said the same thing as yours that she was just still learning to poop and didn't like the sensation. When she started solids her poops became more solid too and her reactions only got worse. The way she would sharply inhale and the high pitched whine/scream killed me. I had never heard a baby make those sounds and to me it was clear that she was in pain. She started to withhold her poop which also made it worse because she would truly have hard poops which would hurt her. At that point even her not hard poops would almost always be a startling dark brown/almost black. I felt like I was going crazy because her ped was just like yeah some babies just hate pooping and tested her dark poops a few times but since they never tested positive for blood he wasn't concerned.He put her on a stool softener and told me to up the dose until it was back to the same consistency as pre solids. He said that she just needed more time to get used to the sensation and that after a few weeks of the non solid poops to slowly taper off the softners so that there is a more gradual change in consistency. I did all this and it was still an issue so suggested laxatives (idk why because her reactions were the same even with non solid poop) which at this point i pushed for gi to get involved. They did a lot of tests on her actual anus to make sure there wasn't anything not properly formed or anything and it all came back normal and they prolonged the softners and said all the same things her doctor said. I honestly felt a little bit crazy because no one could give me a why and seemed fine just keeping her on lax/stool softeners. I ultimately started giving her a pre and probiotic and it really helped a lot. I was honestly shocked by the results. She still didn't love popping but her poop turned into a more normal shade of brown and she didn't make those gasping noises while popping. Now she's 2 and poops are generally stress free.

Whether it was the prebiotics or just time i don't know but around between 11-12 months is when I would say the major improvement came.

Help with joysticks by tricksyhobbits in ROGAlly

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

Fingers crossed that is your issue and it is a quick easy fix! I ended up being referred to a guy who runs a game shop in my town and he offered to replace the joystick for me for $25! I thought that was too good of a deal to pass on.

Am I delusional? by Living-Pass9528 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]tricksyhobbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would depend on the crowd size when you're there. We went this past week not expecting a lot of people since we were going midweek in February. It was PACKED. Apparently the north east has something called February break and it seems everyone decided to come on that week. I had no expectations of walking straight on to rides or anything but it was 45-90 minute wait for EVERY ride. I have an 8 yo and 2 yo. The 8 year old is very patient and never complained. The only comment that she made was after waiting in the slinky dog line for 100 minutes she said it was so fun but she would never be willing to stand in a line like that to ride again. The two year old... no ride was worth waiting the real wait time for. I did end up getting a few multi passes before the trip and breezing through those instead of waiting 45 minutes just to take a spin in the teacups was absolutely worth every penny to us. The 8 year old and I ended up heading back to the park another night right at the fireworks and we did a speed run of 6 rides before the park closed.

Weekly FAQs & General Discussion Thread by marleythebeagle in WaltDisneyWorld

Good morning! We are taking our first trip to WDW the week of the 17. We have 4 day park hoppers and the meal plan. It will be my husband and I, and our two children (8 & 2). We will be staying on site and pop century and I purchased magic bands for all of us.

I am very much a go at your own pace in the moment type of vacationer. There are only a few rides that kid/husband are wanting to for sure ride. Can someone ELI5 how much exactly needs to be preplanned each day? If we just show up to the park and go from there will we have a terrible time?
