    This thread is for asking imamother type questions.

    See, we all know that imamother is full of single boys anyway, pretending to be bubbies, and we all know that ywn is full of married women pretending to be yeshiva guys so they can post stuff in learning.

    So this thread will be the imamother alternative, for people who want to post imamother type topics without being bullied.

    I’ll start.

    What is the best kind of double stroller, and is it ok if I’m in kollel and get a bugaboo even though my sister in law only has an uppababy and her husband is a rich working boy? Does it go on stairs?

    If you love your baby, you will get them a bugaboo.

    A bugaboo is an object of fear or alarm. If you love your baby, you will try to keep bugaboos away from them.

    Right, because then you won’t be able to afford to send him to college, so he’ll stay on the derech and become a talmid chochom.

    Is birth worse than doing dor yeshorim?

    When I gave birth to my first, my husband was pacing back and forth, a total nervous wreck.

    He said to the midwife, “I really hope it’s a girl”.

    “Why?”, she asked.

    “So she won’t have to go through what I’m going through now”.

    Does anyone know an amazing dentist in Flatbush who does teeth?

    Dr. Miller does teeth. He has the most amazing flavors of mouth rinse, but sometimes refuses to do cavities.

    Great taste, less fillings.

    Is it normal to bring a stuffed animal to the dentist to calm down?

    If it calms down the stuffed animal, I say go for it. My stuffed animals always calmed down when I put them in the freezer.

    It’s the FAO Schwarz horse. Would that be awkward? Do they have dentist chairs to accommodate toy animals?

    My kid keeps coloring on the couch, but it’s really ugly and I want to replace it. He’s actually making it look better. Should I just let him, or is that bad chinuch?

    I can’t tell you its gender for privacy reasons. I’m afraid it won’t get into a good cheder or yeshiva if because its parent posted about it online when it colored on the couch.

    daas yochid – nothing wrong with sending your children off to college. from what ive seen at least where i live and the college that the frum people go to the people who stayed frum are the ones who went to college the others all went off the derech the reasoning could be because they were too busy studying and didnt have time for the wrong stuff. just tell your friend that you dont think its a good idea.

    How can I convince my husband to buy another washer?

    We already have two dryers because I’m always washing towels and they take more than a cycle to dry enough to kill the dustmites*.

    Anyway it’s going to cost around 1k and we’re already strapped for tuition money. Plus our laundry room has no space. Seriously my husband and I cannot walk past each other in the room when I’m niddah. So maybe it will go in the garage? Or is that weird?

    WWYD?

    *Our children and gerbil have dustmite allergies.

    Oh btw Sparkly… my sn has no relation to yours. Sparkle used to be my name (nick name but it was so official that I even turned in essays with “Sparkle” instead of my given name) — Sparkledout = Sparkle out of the closet (I am straight, so not that kind of closet… I just mean like being outspoken and etc).

    Kay love you shalom

    Popa Bar Abba you asked:

    What is the best kind of double stroller, and is it ok if I’m in kollel and get a bugaboo even though my sister in law only has an uppababy and her husband is a rich working boy? Does it go on stairs?

    My reply:

    Okay so I don’t know enough about the Bugaboo from personal experience but my sister’s first Bugaboo was stolen. Baruch Hashem now she has insurance coverage on her new one. Who knew that Geico covered vehicles for toddlers?! Moral of the story: Make sure that if you’re going the Bugaboo route, you have protection.

    IMHO Please Remember to Keep in Mind:

    The weight & size of the stroller*. I found that the Baby Trend Expedition Double Jogger, which weighs 32.5lbs to be the easiest to go up stairs when I am not breast-feeding. Though you will have to push it up step by step.

    And… Why are you paying attention to someone else’s husband’s parnassah? Are you neglecting your husband in the process c”v?

    *The larger the stroller the smaller your waist appears. The heavier the stroller the lighter your husband’s mood will be. Seriously this must have to do with some halachic science or something but all my friends and neighbors and even my kallah teacher attest to this truth B”H

    (edited to put the extra B in Abba ~ thanks)

    Was it wrong to talk to a JW on Shabbos? A JW woman knocked on our door on Shabbos afternoon.

    Dd ran to the door because she was expecting Bubby (dunno why she thought that Bubby would be knocking because we leave the door unlocked for her specifically on Shabbos and dd is 10 and knows that but whatever she was probably excited).

    Anyway I was horrified that the JW lady walked into our foyer with a JW magazine and some phone app or something that she was showing dd. I thanked the lady for stopping by and said that we are Jewish and asked her to take us off their address list (do they have something like that? A do not disturb list?). I didn’t know what to do.

    Dh was napping and told me that I should have woken him up.

    SO -“address list (do they have something like that? A do not disturb list?).”

    No they don’t! They just go door – door!

    “I didn’t know what to do.”

    Teach your kid – to ask who it is and not to open the door to strangers!

    sparkled out – you are definitely a troll. most people dont respond the way you do unless their a troll. also dont you think it would be weird if someone wrote on their paper in college “sparkled out” youd probably be at least made fun of if not kicked out. i mean their are strange people but not THAT strange that they change their name to a weird one. i use to be “friends” with a jw witness and her father was jewish (so sad i know.) i actually was trying to do kiruv on him and she kept on asking us about our religion and then comparing ours to hers and finally i got up the nerve to tell her no more talking about religion if you want to know more about our religion go to speak to the rabbi and thats the last time i spoke to her baruch Hashem. i tried stopping to be her friend much earlier but didnt know how to she kept following me in college and then she finally told me she was a jw and thats when i realized i wanted nothing to do with her.

    Actually high school. I have never been called a troll before, so that was interesting. Then again this is the first forum that I’ve joined… so that means that one of my first forum posts was judged as troll-like by another member.

    As for Sparkle, if it’s you then it’s you. Who doesn’t know many Menachem Mendels? Perhaps sometimes someone named Patrick becomes a Menachem Mendel.

    The story is long with a history and for another audience.

    Nice to meet you too <3

    The answers have been posted in the coffee room before. They are: about an hour, and meat.

    Also, I knew those answers when I was single.

    sparklesout, welcome to this forum. I’m sorry you were already called a troll and now I am giving you some mussar as well but your mathematical formula of Dass Yochid+you = and the power of Whom you wrote is extremely not proper. What in the world do you mean by that anyway?

    Philosopher, you’re a bit over five years late in your welcome. Indeed, sparkledout hasn’t even shown back up in this neck of the cyber-woods in over five years.

    Getting back on topic, can anyone share what sort of topics are found on the site discussed in the title here?
