My babies wore, um , clothes? I'm pretty sure? home from the hospital. I was focused on what the gently caress, this is a new human, I am not ready to cope. Also, when we were leaving the hospital to go home with Child 1, we stopped at the local bookstore, husband left me and baby in the car while he dropped in to find something new. Came out with the first edition of Good Omens. Best husband, would marry again. Kid was pretty nifty, too.

I remember our nurse was like ❤️❤️❤️ let me know if you need any help adjusting that carseat for the ride home❤️❤️❤️ and then acted irritable and put-upon when we actually did That's when I learned being a parent is all about being offered help by people who will be furious at you for taking it. Lesson one!

Oh drat, we were required to bring our carseat in to have it adjusted and tested before we could take any of ours home

We had to do the “car seat test”, which is strapping the baby into the car seat while the monitors were still attached to make sure she would be OK She actually failed once and had to do it again

My dad apparently carried me out of the hospital like a linebacker holding a football in one arm, apparently to the nurse’s chagrin. His excuse was he’d held lots of nieces and nephews so he had experience. I think a car seat was involved somewhere. Somehow I’m still alive.

We had ours in Manhattan, so we had a car seat but no car. The Lyft driver was very helpful in strapping it in for us.

That was cool of them, but I wouldn't want to be that driver if you crashed. They'd need a lawyer immediately for sure. Their car insurance, and your health insurance would be after them, and you know Uber would leave them high and dry.

Shanghaied posted:AITA for expecting a 24 year old to prioritize her health irrespective of what others say? Ignoring the entire rest of the lovely family: If someone comes up to you and tells you they're dizzy and their blood sugar is low and they're worried about going into hyperglycaemic shock, you don't just tell them to go eat something and ditch them! If things get this bad, you need to stick with them to make sure they don't collapse on the way! Especially if you know some crazy woman is going to shoo them away from eating cake at a loving wedding! My grandma once had a minor low blood sugar episode in a taxi and couldn't remember her address. The taxi driver drove her to our house, which she did remember, helped her up the stairs and described her symptoms to me enough for me to realize what the problem was. A complete stranger did more for my grandma than OP for his wife!

Here's some weird poo poo. My (23F) boyfriend (27M) doesn't care that men tried to break into my house quote:Two days ago I left my new (moved in 1 week ago) home to find three large men had pulled a bin directly underneath my ground floor bathroom window (presumably to climb up) and were staring directly into my bathroom. I inspected the window and it was loosened on one side as if they had tried to pry it open. After telling my boyfriend he insinuated I was overreacting and kept repeating that they were "probably minding their own business" or that they were just doing a drug deal.

Yeah, with a few exceptions like raw milk, most of the tests required for food involve stuff like "Did they go over the legal limit of various poisonous substances added to boost the yield?", "Are the bacteria amounts low enough that this will survive the shelf life without making people poo poo themselves" and "Is this real extra virginal native organic olive oil or did they take processed soybean oil and add some green food coloring?" or "Are those real bamboo shoots or is it wood that's been painted green?". There are very few things that need to be controlled that are not related to industrial processing or greed.

I'd get it if she just saw 3 large men doing a drug deal on the street outside her place and they actually were minding their own business, but in what possible world is trying to break into and crawl through someone's bathroom window to enter their home in any shape or form "minding their own business"

Home canning is another thing that’s easy to gently caress up and can be lethal. Bottling fruit etc is fine because of the acid, but I would honestly recommend against packing anything you’re not confident is below pH 4.2. (If you use vinegar to make it acidic that’s once again fine, as are fermented vegetables in a sufficently-strong brine)

Or she is still in that high school mindset where couples break up every other week and are back together before lunch.

Malachite_Dragon posted:Not really. If you break up with someone you don't get to dictate how they respond to it. The seeming desperate backpedaling does make it look like a relationship test backfire, though, I'm inclined to agree. Could be a relationship test, but it doesn't have to be. Some people do go in for high drama breakup-makeup cycles and are completely dumbfounded if their partner doesn't play along or stops playing along. I had one of those relationships at one point, and when I finally grew a spine and didn't do the 'make up' phase it took her over a month to accept that things really were over. Also even though she was the one who broke up with me, she told people that I broke up with her, I think because the breakup-makeup pattern was so ingrained for her that she didn't think it counted. haveblue posted:We had to do the “car seat test”, which is strapping the baby into the car seat while the monitors were still attached to make sure she would be OK I'm old enough that when I was born they had to do the "car seat test", which was ensuring that there was a seat in the vehicle being driven home. In our case, it was an old love seat in the back of a van that was not actually attached to the van in any way, but you could sit on it with a baby so it counted. (disclaimer: I think it's good that we actually do better at avoid injuring and killing babies in car accidents, I just think it's funny that it was considered no big deal at the time. Also the 'seat in a van' is actually from memories as a kid, they may have had an actual car seat for us as infants.)

After I got divorced from someone who would retreat to threatening the relationship itself as a way of winning or at least ending arguments, I came out of the divorce with a rule “we only go out once” which solved that makeup/breakup cycle or threats like that from the gate. Kind of a hold on tightly but let go lightly policy. If you want to break up, that’s fine, but I don’t get back together, so if you (or I) want to end it, let’s just be sure about what we’re doing.

Enemabag Jones posted:The gently caress is the point of a "very expensive" onesie? I tried knitting one once and the baby doubled in size during the process. Before she had her first child, my sister bought extremely fancy baby clothes - think Victorian level ruffles and ribbons, lots of white and materials that would require ironing, hand-washing, etc. We all rolled our eyes but she insisted that her baby wouldn't be caught dead wearing boring tacky baby clothes. Now that her child is almost 2, they mostly wear T-shirts and overalls. Turns out babies are messy and hard on clothes. Machine washable and easily replaced is her new goal for her baby's outfits. Spending $140 on an outfit that will be worn just long enough to get puked on is not a good investment.
