Austromum

@sancrucensis Literally my husband at this point

@VitaUxoris It's so worth it in its own, and the bonus reward is people telling your kids what beautiful names they have :D

@Austromum It's its own little adventure dreaming up names, combinations, picking patrons.

My most girl-coded trait is imagining hypothetical children's names and writing them out in cursive to see how they look. I definitely did this before I got married with my married name. Life can be a little romantic sometimes. That's okay.

@recurrented @MasterTimBlais >the last one spends a decade as a pseudo only child Care to explain? That's not a given at all

@MasterTimBlais suboptimal, not big enough for sport and other imaginary games, too big for small car, and the last one spends a decade as a pseudo only child. 3 or 6+

anyone else wanna have 4 kids? it just seems like the correct number to me. each child has three pairs, each pair has a complement

@MasterTimBlais @amelapay The pairings you mention also exist when you have more kids. Plus more of them.

@amelapay uhhh what am i not considering

@MasterTimBlais Yeah but 5 is also ok.

@TradAdvocate @butlerpartyof9 Ok but you see that showering is not the only thing you'd advise to do while the baby sleeps. The whole point is that sometimes you should just do things.

I'm not claiming that it's life destroying trauma. I just see no point in putting my babies through that stress if I can wait until they're napping and then shower. Sometimes I'll shower while they nap in the bathroom in their infant chair. Or shower when they're napping in their bassinet if my husband is home to take over for a few minutes in case they wake up.

TIL that it's narcissistic behavior specific to western women who are "trash" to *checks notes* ensure that baby is in a safe place to pee/shower.

@TradAdvocate @butlerpartyof9 And god forbids they wake up while you're still in there. Life destroying trauma imminent.

@butlerpartyof9 I mean, you could wait until your baby is napping to take a shower instead of having them cry the entire time.

@ladylibertaer @HARLEKIN_YT Sie wollen kuscheln, nur halt nicht mit Egomanen. Katzen reflektieren deine eigene Haltung, deswegen sind sie ja Magie-Adjazent. Hunde sind süß und alles, aber halt genau dafür gezüchtet dass sie unterwürfig sind, und sie deshalb zu mögen und Katzen nicht ist bedenklich.

@LGcommaI Dad aknnst du dich nicht so stehen lassen komm schon, hau wenigstens Lesematerial raus

This triggers a flurry of relevant thoughts in me that to spell out would violate my newly adopted policy of not giving these people too much attention (because it is not good for my soul).

@PlayWindstorm Oh i'm Happy to wait a year or two 🤩!!

@Austromum Sadly, the Switch couldn't even properly handle Horse Tales, so we knew Windstorm: The Legend of Khiimori was well beyond the scope of the system. 🥲 We have already announced support for Switch 2 but we aren't 💯 sure if it'll be the same exact release date until later. ♥️

Getting to see cute new horse animations is the highlight of our day, what's yours? 🥺💞 Look at those cute lil butt nibbles!!   And don't forget to wishlist Windstorm: The Legend of Khiimori on Steam & PlayStation!

@Fuechsinvonwelt Eine Kollegin von mir hatte als Hobby Kunstnägel machen und ist richtig reingekippt. All mein Respekt

@MotherGrundy Same 😭 but that's also freeing in a sense

If I didn’t use this platform, I would have very few meaningful interactions with Christian women running Large Household Operations. I am really grateful to be exposed to other women sharing their convictions and practices; my mental landscape has changed to think this is far more common and normal than it is, and while that might not be true demographically, it has certainly helped me to do things better and think about things more clearly. But then in my urban, day to day context, we are a totally incomprehensible anomaly. 🫠

@marycatedelvey @bkbart80 It's not as cheap here. :( we have to get it via pharmacy and they charge premium prices.

@bkbart80 It is less than $30 and literally vanilla flavored, I’m begging you all to just take it 😂

Friendly vet tech PSA to please deworm yourselves. Seriously, you can get pyrantel pamoate on Amazon and it tastes like a banana smoothie. Why are fecal parasite screenings not part of human healthcare. You probably have worms. Just please do it.

@alter8027791683 @telmudic If you imply you can "just" calculate your exact calorie requirement and then eat exactly so much that a handful of almonds is the deficit you run each day, adjusted to weight loss and activity, all those calculations and kcal counting will suck even more than going hungry

@Austromum @telmudic I'm not here to insult you in any way, if you felt offended then I'm sorry. It is indeed true, weight, height, age and even gender matter. My point is: it's not a lot of calories. A little change can make a big difference without making your "life suck for a while" (your words!)

@alter8027791683 @telmudic Wow! You can count with calories and fat! Very good! Next post you explain me that "excess" varies with current weight and activity level! :)) 🙌

@Austromum @telmudic Do you want to know something interesting? 30 grams of almonds are 170 calories. Eat those once a day, in excess. You gain 9 kilos in a year. One banana a day, in excess. You gain 52 kilos in 10 years. You don't necessarily need to eat less, but then you have to be more active.

@alter8027791683 @telmudic I am fat myself. But to imply "eat less" is not the correct answer, is to lie to yourself. Yes, life will absolutely suck for a while because we made wrong decisions for a long while.

@Austromum @telmudic It's harder than you think to just eat less. You have to get into that position first. Then you have to see what happened, the reasons for it. After you determine the faults, you fix them. Why'd think so many people are fat. It's not easy to just eat less, you feel it physically.

@iconawrites There definitely are Disney adults here, but they're not as comically exaggerated as America manages to show the world, much like with everything else

Can someone explain a thing to me, a clueless European? There is Disney World in Paris and I went there as a small child, but it wasn’t a big deal. I have never met a European “Disney adult”. Why is Disneyland in America so different? Why are some people obsessed with it?

@alter8027791683 @telmudic Well, If He isn't actively gaining weight atm, he merely consumes enough calories every day to maintain his fat reserves. Answer would be "stop maintaining your fat reserves" but alas, if he wants to eat enough to maintain a body his current size, this will happen

@telmudic eat a little less for the start, because you're overeating and your body stores that excess energy in fat 😌
