Reply to LPT: When you and your SO are trying to teach your child to say mama or dada, try to teach them the term for your SO instead of yourself by [deleted]

Doesn't make sense to get worked up over whether the child says mama or Dada first. It depends on what the child finds easier to say: https://www.care.com/c/do-babies-say-mama-or-dada-first/

It's not like the child will just talk to one parent for the rest of his/ her life.

Reply to LPT request: How to reduce my anxiety? by quantafolia

Get a therapist. You don't have to worry about taking anti-anxiety meds unless you have a recurrent issue and your anxiety can be diagnosed as a disorder. Therapy will help you identify triggers and unhelpful habits.

Even reading books about anxiety can help - I found Dr Tracey Marks' "Why am I so Anxious?" Book pretty helpful.

Reply to Why don’t I, as a woman, like books with female protagonists? by out_cyder

I hate women in books where they're badly written. In books where they are well-written, they are compelling.

Both men and women writers can write women badly.

As a reader, our state of mind while reading a book is also influenced by life experience, so you may feel differently in a few years time.

Generally, there are very few authors whose work has touched me when it comes to women characters, so I can understand if your experience has been negative with such characters.
