My son is five months old and sleeps 10-12 hours at night, and wakes up very calmly in the morning. I hear him making some cute baby noises and he lifts his head up and smiles at me. No rush to get a bottle ready at all (I still have it ready though). But then he naps for an hour and a half and wakes up SCREAMING for a bottle-even if he just ate before the nap, no matter what time of day. He can go 12 hours without eating and not yell at me, but can’t go an hour and a half? Why?😂

The Miners definitely deserved the “U Da Best” sticker. One of their men literally DIED helping Mabel.

Mabel trippin balls on smile dip is the funniest shit ever😂

Who do you think is at fault for Stan and Ford’s screwed up relationship? I feel like Stan is because he broke Ford’s science project and pushed him into the portal, but maybe I’m missing something? (I’m sure someone has asked this but I’m fairly new to this sub)

So I don’t know if my son went through the regression in his “own” way. He’s always been a good sleeper and just before four months he started sleeping 11 hours through the night and has been for the past month (he’s almost five months) but during the day will only contact nap. Prior to this we’d do one contact nap a day and his other nap would be in his crib but as soon as he started sleeping 11 hours, he only contact naps. Is this some sort of sleep “regression”? Why does he all of a sudden only want to nap on me, but sleeps great in his crib at night?

My five month old is napping on me and FUCK I GOTTA PEE but we’ve been having trouble with naps lately. He might need to start sharing his diapers😭

Just wanted the Reddit community to know how bad I have to pee.

My son is almost five months and has been having tummy problems for about two and a half months. He’s had mucousy stools and recently fussiness during and after most feeds except for bed time and middle of the night feeds. We’ve ruled out MSPI and I eliminated basically everything in my diet. He would get better, then get worse, then better, then worse just on and off. We switched to formula assuming it was something in my diet we simply couldn’t figure out but same thing, one step forward two steps back. Being convinced, I weaned off of pumping and now my supply is almost completely gone, so we’re on just formula now. We’ve switched paediatricians three times and they all keep saying it’s probably a stomach virus. I have told all of them this has been an ongoing problem for months and that our last paediatricians said it was a tummy virus but they just dismiss it or legitimately don’t acknowledge it. He used to eat basically non stop, but the past few days won’t eat more than 15oz. Every time I say I don’t think it’s a virus, they’ve all completely dismissed it. He’s not colicky and can usually be soothed after feeds by carrying him around, but I hate seeing him in pain and am concerned how he’s slowly starting to eat less. Tylenol and gas medicine doesn’t work, neither does all the typical things to help with gas. He’s hit all his milestones and some a little early, gaining weight, isn’t dehydrated, and seems perfectly healthy but it’s still not good he’s having stomach problems. Anyone else gone through this? What was the problem? I feel so bad for him :(

What are your theories on where Ford was after getting sucked into the portal?

I think Gravity Falls is labeled as “Coming of Age” so for “coming of age” they have

-a group of girls beat the shit out of unicorns

-perform a drug deal

-have blood dripping from taxidermy animals while chanting something that sounds Satanic

-a criminal main character

-a group of prisoners talking about throwing a prison riot

-Stan’s stash of “fully clothed” (supposed to be nudi) mags

-Stan and Ford threaten a bus driver with brass knuckles and a gun

-Dipper, Soos and Wendy brutally punch innocent animals having a harmless tea party

-a father disown his son for messing up

-an evil monster f**ck up a man’s face in a terrifying way

What other f**cked up things am I missing?😂

Edit: I had always seen “coming of age” interpreted as middle school age (that’s what I meant by the category “coming of age)

Get ready for a novel

So my older brother got herpes when he was around 25 and is currently 28. He got them from his first real girlfriend (first time he slept with anyone).

All my brother ever wanted was to get married, have kids and work while his wife stayed at home with them (we’re a pretty traditional family). Ever since he got herpes, he’s been convinced he’ll never have that life.

Once he got them, he went off the rails bat shit crazy. Got addicted to alcohol and cocaine and just let himself go as a person.

Three days before my wedding, his friend came to pick him up to take him to a bar. I told his friend that wasn’t a good idea but they both insisted. My brother was looking for his keys and couldn’t find them so started throwing shit around the house and cussed me out accusing me of hiding them-they were legit sitting on the living room table. When I told him I didn’t, he went psycho and we got into a huge fight. We ended up outside and at some point he had his hands around my neck and was literally strangling me. I ended up getting him off then decked him in the face multiple times, stood up and continuously kicked him in the ribs before one of my other brothers pulled up and tackled me off of him. I broke free and we started fighting again because he kept taunting me. By the time my brother pulled me off of him again the cops showed up and my dad right after and the situation was handled (to a certain extent). My brother and I have always been best friends-he’s barely a year older so we’ve always been close, so this was more than abnormal for us.

He ended up going to rehab for a few weeks, but that did nothing. He went up to NY to get my dad’s truck back from my oldest brother and ended up flipping it taking out a power line and totaling my dad’s $60,000 truck. He eventually got straight again, but it took awhile.

A year and a half after my wedding I ended up getting pregnant. Everyone was so happy for me, but I could tell he was faking his happiness. When my son was born my brother held him and looked at him with a face that said “I want this but I’ll never have it”. My son is four months old and he still looks at him like that and tears up every time he sees him.

I currently have the life my brother always wanted. I’m married with a child and my husband works while I stay at home. I honestly feel guilty sometimes about it.

I have told my brother time and time again his life is not over. He’s convinced any woman with herpes has “been run through by a thousand guys”. I’ve told him there are plenty of women out there who are in his same situation-waited until a serious relationship to have sex, but unfortunately got lied to and screwed over. He just ignores it. He tells me since I’m not in the same situation that I’ll never understand. And he’s right about that-all I can do is offer my best advice and be there for him.

I love my brother so much and just want him to happy. He seems like it sometimes but I know him like the back of my hand and I know he’s depressed as hell. All I want for him is the best in life and he deserves it. He is an amazing, kind, generous and hard working guy. Any woman would be lucky to call herself his wife!

So after reading this War and Peace, does anyone out there have any advice I can give to my brother? Or something to give him hope? Or at least something to make him feel better? It breaks my heart that I can’t help him.

Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to provide as much information as possible.

Thank you guys so much in advance!

My grandmother gave me a little notebook to read that she kept about my dad and his late brother of their first year of life (1969). They started on solids (beef and vegetables) at TWO MONTHS-however much they seemed to want/take. First cow’s milk at THREE MONTHS (no specifications on amount). My dad has grown up to be a smart, healthy and hard working man with no health problems (unfortunately his brother passed when they were 18 in a car accident) and they were both your average kids growing up. What in the heck?! Now it’s just a tiny bit of squishy bananas at ~6 months and cow’s milk at a year! It’s insane how much things change over the years. Just thought that was wild and wanted to share!
