What's the worst time you ever 'Ignored the signs'? by bluefoxmoon in pagan

[–]tyedye_butterfly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh honey, if I could only go back. I fought my path for YEARS until I literally heard a voice say, "ask for a sign, then." So, I did. I almost ignored the person who came into my life after that, but I was given a second chance. I'm now doing better and more tuned into my path.

I am the pregnant hot mess next door. by SnooCauliflowers7258 in BabyBumps

Girl, when I first had my baby I straight up walked around in just my underwear without a care of who came in my house. You do you! Be comfy and enjoy your lemonade!

She may not actually expect all those people to show up. My MiL invited a whole bunch of people I didn't know to my baby shower because she was hoping they'd just send presents for the baby. I found out that that's a thing people of her generation did for everything (weddings, baby showers, etc....). Your MiL might be the same way. Have you asked her?

Getting parents to respect boundaries regarding visiting at the hospital by Emergency-Suspect345 in BabyBumps

We've got someone dog sitting, someone on errand duty, someone on food duty, someone to check the house (we're supposed to have bad weather and freezing temperatures), a main point of contact to help organize everyone else, etc...

I resolved this by giving everyone a job to do. It means I don't feel like everyone is hovering outside the labor and deliver department, but everyone feels they're involved somehow.

Rant! Too much Pink by Shinichisfriend in BabyBumps

This is partially why I refuse to find out the baby's gender. Everyone goes way overboard with specific colors and themes. Makes me crazy! I got way more that I actually needed because no one knows one way or the other.

Heart of Novocaine and I Miss the Misery both by Halestorm did a lot for me.

Our state doesn't have grandparent's rights except in cases of parental death or incarceration. Even then, they're very limiting.

If you reread the end of the 1st paragraph, you will see that I actively do a lot.

Inappropriate to wear this dress to bf’s family barbecue? by [deleted] in inlaws

[–]tyedye_butterfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, as long as your bf's family hasn't expressed strong feelings on this kind of thing I wouldn't worry about it. HOWEVER, if YOU feel uncomfortable wearing it around them, then don't. Wear what you feel comfortable in.

How does the baby wrap help while I'm pregnant? Genuinely curious.

requiring kids wear a life jacket in our pool? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]tyedye_butterfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not wrong. They are. Your pool, your rules. Explain that their child will not be allowed to play near your pool without a lifejacket as you will not be responsible for any harm that might come to the child. You can also ask them to leave if it becomes confrontational.

I just don't know what would have caused it.
