TIFU By thinking my son ran hit a night.

The realization of this tifu happened yesterday but has actually been occurring for the past 3 weeks of my 6 week old sons life.

He is our first child so we are still getting the hang of raising a small human. We are learning things though. One thing I noticed was he sweats a lot when he sleeps at night. So I being a problem solving new dad immediately thought we’ll let’s turn down the heat a little bit and put him into lighter outfits. None of my ideas really seemed to work.

So yesterday morning I was once again putting an outfit on a damp baby thinking something like “wow this little guy runs hot.” After that it was time for a diaper change. I remember thinking “It’s amazing how much a baby can sweat and have such a a light diaper in the morning.”

So, I’ve always put diapers on but I never really learned how to do it. After some interneting I realized that I’ve been putting diapers on wrong since we bumped up a size. The front was riding a little low.

Then it all came together dear reader. I realized that no, my son does not sweat a lot at night, he is just covered in his own pee because the angle I’ve had the diaper at is wrong and it leaked.

The reason I’m posting today is because I tested the hypothesis last night and awoke to a dry baby and heavy diaper this morning.

TL;DR Have been putting diapers on my son incorrectly since we upped the size and thought he was covered in sweat while sleeping when it was really just his own bodily fluids.

TIFU By Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months. We would make extended eye contact frequently, workout in proximity, the usual gym things that get over analyzed when you like someone. He's wildly handsome, but I liked his vibe. A lot. It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
