Hello everyone!

I have studied Chinese for a total of ten years, and lived in China for four. I am mostly fluent but as everyone may know, Chinese is a difficult language and I definitely am nowhere near native fluency but have no difficulty communicating in friendship and daily life.

Everyone I know wants me to teach my kids (2yo and 4yo) Chinese but I have avoided it so far because I'm afraid of teaching them my grammatical errors and pronunciation errors.

Is there still a benefit to reading to my kids in Chinese and doing Chinese songs etc if I am not natively fluent?

Hello everyone! I'm wondering if I'm the only one that feels like my cup makes cramping worse especially in the first days of my period. Is it possible I need to try a different brand?

I am using the diva cup model 2 since I had two children.

So I'm pretty good at portraits, I've done photo realism for years now but I'm starting to get into watercolor specifically. I'm having a REALLY hard time with color and shading without a graphite pencil 😂

Portraits have always been my favorite subject matter and I've always wanted to explore color. I LOVE color. However after starting to practice with watercolor this week I feel a little discouraged. I know all I need to do is practice but would love some resources to steer me in the right direction so I'm not learning completely from trial and error!

Hello everyone! I started learning symptopro in March and started getting overwhelmed so I took a break, Tried hormonal birth control, remembered why I decided to stop hormonal birth control in the first place five years ago 😂, and have now decided to get back to studying lol.

Sometimes the rules seem so confusing. Charting sensation, tissue test, and CM separately is all fine and dandy but when they start telling you how any of these three could effect the way you chart the others is where it starts to feel overwhelming. And it's just the beginning.

Wondering how long it took everyone to get the hang of it and memorize all the rules so hopefully I can try to see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Hello everyone!

I made the decision to get back on birth control after being off for five years. I wanted something a little bit more low maintenance than taking a pull every day. I am on Lexapro and already forget to take it at about once every two weeks 🥴 so I decided to try nuvaring, I ended up being prescribed generic and I started it Saturday.

Today is Monday so that makes it my third day and I just feel exhausted and overall "yucky". I don't have much appetite and easily irritated.

Because of the Lexapro I already struggle with things. I have been getting better as I have been tapering down from it but the last three days (last two days especially) remind me how I felt at my worst days of depression. I am a stay at home mom with two kids and just hate feeling like this. I can't give my kids my all.

I know it hasn't even been a week yet so it's a little soon to say to switch as I know the body can take up to three months to adjust. What is the MINIMUM time you would give to see if a birth control will work for you? Thinking it could take three months of feeling like this have me overthinking and feeling like I can't do it

Hello everyone my grandpa is 88 years old and was diagnosed with cancer. He is a very private person so all I know is there's a deep sore on his cheek (where the cancer is located) and it hasn't spread anywhere else. Some kind of more rare form of cancer.

My grandpa is like a father to me and I'm sick to my stomach not knowing what symptoms one may expect with his treatment. We were just told today he will be having radiation five days a week for three to four weeks.

How much pain or discomfort can I expect to see him have from this? If he's going to decline during treatment I just really want to be mentally prepared.

Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone! I have a low budget but also have very basic needs. I hope you can help! Thanks in advance. I have looked through other people's requests but mostly people are looking for something very specific with performance on a lower budget.

Desired battery life

Doesn't matter, once again I will mostly be using it at home. I live in a camper so don't have space for a desktop.

Please list, in order of most important to least important, the priority between Size, Weight, Performance, Battery life

Performance is my main concern, as shown I will not be doing anything too heavy. But I currently have a Chromebook and I need a real laptop now 😂 I was drawn in by the cheap price of Chromebooks and ended up dumbfounded by how limited they are. I would LOVE for it to be lighter weight but I know my options are slim with my budget.
