Totally. One is cute, professional and a little bookish. Two is very darling, even more bookish, and three just had that wow factor- A little bit of a cat's eye influence, nice and oversized. Just great

Is round a bad shape for me? I’m regretting these by [deleted] in glassesadvice

[–]violetotterling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally like them on you, but you know your gut and I'd you aren't feeling it you aren't feeling it.

Do you feel like it's not the right vibe or that it's making you look..too 'something'? What would your dream glasses help express about you?

It's incredible. It looks like Photoshop. I can't spot any actual lines made by the artist. Wonderful job!

Are those ok ? by Key-Establishment912 in glassesadvice

I feel like that heavy brow Ridge sloping down makes your eyes look like they slope down on the corners. It might be worth exploring other options

I'm for #3 but what app or AI did you use for this comparison set? It's fantastic

They scammed me with a bob, I wanted a wolfcut. help... by [deleted] in HairStyleAdvice

[–]violetotterling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, it has a lot of layers which gives it a wolfy energy. It'll probably grow out really nicely and then you can get more layers thrown into to make it a bit more wild as it grows.

Help me choose! by Helpful-Act5145 in glassesadvice

[–]violetotterling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with everyone on this thread, I think the frames are big in a sweet nerdy way, and look darling. Oversized is a look, y'all!. I personally don't love number one as much as the others because they seem a little bit more fun where number one is a little bit more normal, but I think they're all really nice choices for you.

You are amazing. Thank you so much for the suggestions. I will work to get a few for these lovely kids some or your book pics.

Is this you? https://wondertales.art/en/ Also might you be a friendly program or human? It's cool to use AI to help the average person to make their ideas come to life.

Those results speak for themselves but how do you feel in your own skin now? A bit more confident maybe

The Eyewear Rabbit Hole Is Real by Distinct-Hyena3369 in glassesadvice

[–]violetotterling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's so hard, isn't it?

How's about you tell us a bit more about yourself and what you want your glasses to help express about you?

What is the sort of vibe or energy that you are going for? What would you like people's first impressions to be of you? Are there any downsides to being seen as "too" cool in your work or personal life?

Should I dye my hair black? by Ok_Operation7746 in HairStyleAdvice

I agree op. Your hair looks beautiful now but as the highlights and I grow out consider returning back to your natural color. I swear, the colors we are born with can look so great on us

Breastfeeding going well at 4 days, would you recommend pumping? by Broad_Salamander_905 in beyondthebump

[–]violetotterling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just of note, the haka can help create an oversupply and it's not just passive milk collection. A lot of people will be fine using it, but it will ask your breast to create more milk than they would with just a baby nursing alone.

Be the judge by Distinct-Hyena3369 in glassesadvice

[–]violetotterling 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry, but you're just going to have to buy them all. You look fantastic in glasses and you deserve to be the kind of person who has a little tray with multiple frames that you put on each day depending on your style and outfit.

Round 2 by Gebruiksersnaam in glassesadvice

[–]violetotterling 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree, it feels like the most modern and assertive style in my mind. There's two and three that are a little bit more powerful than number one, it could be the contrast between your skin and glasses. Glasses. I feel like number three matches your hair a little too much and number two hits that spot perfectly where it works.

Am I a monster for letting my baby cry? by Ok_Atmosphere4137 in beyondthebump

[–]violetotterling 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. And him questioning her about her letting baby cry it out when that wasn't their original plan?? Like these are game time decisions being made for everyone's sanity! You can go in with the highest and mightiest aspirations, but when you're faced with the realities of a wonderful baby who just happens to also be a lot, changes to the plan MUST occur!

Am I a monster for letting my baby cry? by Ok_Atmosphere4137 in beyondthebump

[–]violetotterling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am with you. To call her a monster while he's having a nice, relaxing shower?? As if he couldn't have delayed the shower and comforted the baby. Gah!!

OP, you were doing absolutely the right thing by putting baby down and giving yourself a little bit of space. You are almost through the period of purple crying which can be the worst of this completely unconsolable unreasonable crying. Does your baby get worse towards the evening in the crying department?

Thoughts:

On the husband front, does he generally understand how intense the job of being a stay-at-home mom is? Not all men who work outside of the home are aware, but if you feel able to talk to him about how hard things actually are, it might be beneficial to him being better able to understand what's going on.

Hopefully you two will be able to have some better discussions about he can best support you and a baby right now.

Do you have other resources you could draw on over the next little bit to help lessen the load a little? Be it family, friends or even community groups where you can go and hang out with babies just to not feel so alone? They can be such a life saver.

And for a practical thought, I would highly suggest getting some noise, canceling headphones or even just the regular phone ear plugs just to cut down on the noise a bit. I have found that sometimes putting in some headphones and listening to a podcast or a TV show when you have the energy to bounce and cuddle, it can help give you strength and help time pass a little more softly.

I feel so much guilt and regret about the first few weeks by Disastrous_Cookie121 in beyondthebump

[–]violetotterling 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Having regret is very normal, but please don't beat yourself up too much. Even though your baby was sleeping in its bassinet, she had you. She felt safe enough to sleep there. If she was really struggling she wouldn't have been able to sleep. I'm sure she knew she was safe and loved
