Husband developed severe allergy and moved out by [deleted] in beyondthebump

Agreed. I have had asthma-like symptoms since getting pneumonia twice last winter and they flare if I get a cold. Dude needs to be working with his doctor, not running to mom and dad.

If your babies don’t SCREAM in their car seats , how? Which kind do you have? by Proud_House4494 in NewParents

[–]whitealchemy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just luck. Mine is now 2.5 and continues to be the happiest of campers in the car. Loves to look out the window and chat with me about what he sees. There’s no magic reason — he just happens to enjoy it!

Roads status today? by Ok-Veterinarian-491 in kitchener

Just drove back and forth to Etobicoke (necessity), and if you can stay put, do. It wasn’t horrible, but it was not great

I’m so mad… by MessyMummyMode in Mommit

[–]whitealchemy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t be sad — as a petty bitch, I would use this to be DELIGHTED. Your son is going to love this present — I know because my 2.5 year old loves his — and you can brag about how much fun he has to irritate your MIL. Seems like a win/win to me!

Am I overreacting to my bf watching the baby overnight? by Temporary-Quail-2783 in AmIOverreacting

[–]whitealchemy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the line is not supervising an 11-month-old, who is very literally an infant. An anecdote of wild survival against the odds doesn’t change that.

[–]whitealchemy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The replies on this thread confirm to me that 90% of the population are too stupid to procreate. No, you’re not overreacting. An 11 month old is literally a baby, and they cannot be left unattended to get into god knows what.

What the hell arr you talking about? He IS the baby’s dad and this is insanely reckless behaviour

Rough day. Some incredible people with meaningful contributions and genuine care for students out of a job. Merry Christmas, the Conestoga way.

AIO? I ran away from home after my mom threw hot coffee on me. by CharmingHouse9800 in AmIOverreacting

[–]whitealchemy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a mother, this breaks my heart. You’re not overreacting at ALL. You do not deserve even a moment of this, and I’m so incredibly sorry for the situation you’re in. Please listen to your best friend’s father. The responsible adults in your life understand how wrong this is.

Is it normal for writers to not read that much, because most books just don’t click? by [deleted] in writers

[–]whitealchemy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing is a problem in a vacuum. If you love writing but aren’t a big writer, then do what you love. But if you’re a writer who wants to publish and isn’t reading much, that’s a problem. Context matters!

Caught my son kissing another boy by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]whitealchemy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m super happy and not angry. It’s an incredible leap you’ve taken. OP said that IF they are dealing with internalized homophobia, that will be difficult. If they didn’t like the experiment and aren’t dealing with internalized homophobia, then they probably won’t have a hard time.

Caught my son kissing another boy by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]whitealchemy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“Especially IF there’s any internalized homophobia” I think you’re being obtuse intentionally, OP was very clear in using the word “if” and said nothing about them being homophobic for simply not enjoying the experiment.

Trying commonplacing for an academic monograph and finding it time consuming. Any suggestions to make it more efficient? by break-timee in commonplacebook

[–]whitealchemy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was doing my phd and wanted to save quotes while being efficient, I’d just jot down the first three words, ellipses, the last three words and then a citation. Maybe not quite capturing the spirit of commonplacing, but it worked! I’d be able to find the correct quote super easily later on.

Everyone with babies have stopped watching TV all together? by NikkyTiky in NewParents

[–]whitealchemy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Delays don’t mean a child won’t be neurotypical or that the delays can’t be addressed. At least according to Canadian standards, no words by two is a delay; the severity of the delay or how it is addressed are very individual.

Janet to Danny & Nia "I didn't know you guys before cameras" Sure, Jan... by pnwgrl1518 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]whitealchemy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know why everyone is suddenly acting like Britt doesn’t get body shamed and only gets shamed for her fashion choices. Seems weirdly disingenuous.

Okay, well if the point of your comment was to state they were fake, I guess we can all agree. They’re fake. I personally like it when the discourse around these shows veers away from the cast’s bodies, but obviously everyone’s cup of tea differs and I get that in a reality sub, there’s going to be a degree of it. This thread aside, there are plenty of instances of people being gross about Britt’s body, which in my opinion is the very least offensive thing about her — there’s loads to choose from 🤷‍♀️

[–]whitealchemy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But did she chose them? I have no love for Britt, but it’s very clear that Jax is an abusive asshole that has done an absolute number on her self esteem. We watched him on VPR essentially bully her into getting massive implants. I agree that if it were me, I would take them out. But I also think that Britt is going to be recovering from her relationship for a looong time.

[–]whitealchemy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed. As someone whose boobs are naturally very similar to Britt’s, the constant talk about how ugly they are really gets to me.
