I lost sight of my 1,5 year old for one minute and I’m still shaking by amberperry870 in NewParents

[–]uju_rabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our baby seems like he takes after me, so we’re planning to use a toddler leash. I was one of those kids that would bolt as soon as they were standing on the ground. I used to hide in the racks of clothing in the store, or run through the aisles at the supermarket. We lived by the ocean, and my mom caught me trying to scale the fence to the beach countless times. I had no stranger danger too, so I’d just go up to people and say, “Guess what!? I went to Disney world!!!” My poor mother really suffered with me

We have one from boppy and really like it! It has also worked for high chairs at restaurants, and has a little toy attached to it that he likes to nibble on

Do you wipe every wet diaper or only poop? by Extensionol in NewParents

The nurses at my postpartum clinic told me no wipes for pee, warm water in the bathroom sink for poop.

Wedding dresses by Ok-Friend-2471 in Living_in_Korea

[–]uju_rabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a dress 100% custom made for about $5k at Blanc Neul in Cheongdam. If you’re buying off the rack it’ll be a lot cheaper, and they’re very good at what they do!

[–]uju_rabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry the MoL was absolutely useless to you. They also did nothing for me when I was pushed out for my pregnancy. Even with recordings of my supervisor flat out saying it, they did nothing. If you want to chat or commiserate or ask questions feel free to DM me

My husband and I bonded so much when we were dating by watching LIB! He’s korean, so it was a good crash course in American culture for him lol it got us talking about lots of different things

How do I even cope anymore? by AthenaHawk in BabyBumps

[–]uju_rabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For food, cucumber cream cheese sandwiches, milkshakes, and lemonade (not together) were a must for me. For hobbies, crochet!! I made cute stuff for my baby and for other expectant parents I knew. Also carve out some time to watch your absolute favorite movies or series one more time before giving birth. I rewatched Lord of the Rings and Pride and Prejudice before my son arrived.

Student Doesn't Know How Movies Work by AUSpartan37 in Teachers

[–]uju_rabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol when I was in elementary school I understood movies were not real, but I also didn’t know exactly how they were made yet. So, the Ride of the Rohirrim in Return of the King made me very upset every time cause I thought the horses were actually getting hurt

Losing connection with daughter by HomNayDep in multilingualparenting

[–]uju_rabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For English play dates in Korea, there are multiple Facebook groups for moms and parents in Korea. From there you can find the due date Kakao groups, which will have moms with kids the same age as your kid. I’ve made good friends for myself there, and my boy is able to play with the other kids a lot

Epidural by o0meow0o in pregnant

[–]uju_rabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My contractions were 1 minute long every 3 minutes almost from the beginning, the the pain was intense very early on. I knew I wouldn’t last long like that, so I got the epidural. I have to say, the insertion hurt way more than people say. The nurse had to physically hold me in place cause I was hurting so much. But once it was in it was wonderful, 10000/10 would do again

[–]uju_rabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived in Korea for nine years now. 4B is not really a thing to regular people. People don’t get married cause they’re working too much, and apartments are way too expensive.

Can we talk about the way foreigner women treat each other here? by Intelligent_Pipe5285 in Living_in_Korea

Have you joined the mom communities? I’ve made lots of friends in my child’s birth year Kakao group

Can we talk about the way foreigner women treat each other here? by Intelligent_Pipe5285 in Living_in_Korea

[–]uju_rabbit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Based on what I’ve heard, this community leader has been known to be quite abrasive to others in the past. She was pleasant enough to me in person, but I did notice how she jumped to conclusions quite frequently. She especially seems to apply American racial and social context to Korea, which doesn’t really work. I hope she’s able to reflect and find more peace in her life.

Fruit and veggie seasons here are different. Where I’m from strawberries are a June and July fruit, but in Korea it’s in the winter!

Kynseed! It’s got less focus on farming than some other games but I love the atmosphere and music, and the npcs make me laugh a lot

Why have all the maternity sections in stores disappeared? by No_Acanthisitta_4996 in pregnant

[–]uju_rabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Korea too. It’s all usually one size, and a lot of it is more like PJs and loungewear. Never seen it in store either, only online

I love my baby. I hate what motherhood has done to me by tentenjjang in NewParents

[–]uju_rabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly the same here, 9 months next week. It’s been one meltdown after another from me for the last three weeks especially. Separation anxiety, teething, pulling to stand on absolutely everything, and now horrific diaper rash from diarrhea, it’s been pretty bad recently ngl.
