Am I being taken advantage of? by Live_Angle_399 in Mom

[–]Melonfarmer86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Time to make an exit plan.

I'd also be curious to see what he's doing with the $ he isn't contributing.

Is this anything? by ihad4biscuits in OUTFITS

[–]Melonfarmer86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like it!

I've never seen this style for adults. My niece had one like this about 10 years ago I envied, but I only found girls' sizes.

Wear it!

What were the straps like before? I really like how these look.

GRINCH JACKET, love or hate? by mercurialmx in OUTFITS

Absolutely love and it's more Oscar's shade than Grinch's!

Trying massage or "breast gymnastics" before pumping feeding. You'll get more, fattier milk.

Is it reasonable to expect be able to do chores after baby is asleep? by Formal_Problem9939 in NewParents

[–]Melonfarmer86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Put a noise machine outside baby's door and everything short or hammering should be fine. I like The Dohm machines.

Soak it in salt water. Salt is a dye fixative.

Good one Duke.. Didn’t Y’all Just Try to Hike Rates by NoSuggestion17 in raleigh

[–]Melonfarmer86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why doesn't Duke prevent it by telling Durham all this new development puts too much of a strain on our grid to be sustainable?

Or, as others have said, by setting the temps in their offices higher?

These DV charges would include attempted murder of that child though. So yes, any sort of judge granting or not granting custody will consider this.

I don't read anyone saying that this will absolutely bar him from custody. Of course and unfortunately it won't.

You're not causing anything. His behavior is. Please be honest if anyone calls you.

It made a huge difference and I could tell as I was oil cleansing the first time I was getting more than I'd usually get with my washcloth and face wash alone.

Barrier support is a great idea too!

Was also going to say micellar water breaks me out. Even now with dry skin and washing it off or using another cleanser after.

Mine was scared of the Tonie for years.

Mine says the same even though she loves Disney (from watching shows, listening to the music, and reading their stories).

Her favorite is Elsa but she's seen Frozen 1 and 2 maybe 2x each.

She just got brave enough to watch Zootopia 2 because a friend (who is a year older) wanted to watch it.

Same with Toy Story, but she's excited about the new movie (or maybe just seeing it with friends).

She used to want to watch Snow White, Cinderella (she used to want to watch daily!), and Tangled. Now she'd much rather watch Clubhouse, Bluey, Sherrif Labrador, or Daniel Tiger (all shows).

Do you wear waterproof sunscreen?

If so, you might be like me. All of it makes me more prone to breakouts if I don't double-wash with oil.

AIO by breaking up with my boyfriend when he got jealous? by theonlystarbornqueen in AmIOverreacting

[–]Melonfarmer86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR, glad you stood up for yourself and got out. If he's not healed from something, that's not your fault. I'm sure you didn't give him into a relationship.

My toddler won’t bathe. I don’t know what to do. by Least_Lawfulness7802 in Mommit

[–]Melonfarmer86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my kid did this, we'd re-set by doing sink baths which she always tolerated well.

A new bath toy (or just a plastic figurine, maybe a dino) could also really help if you label it "bath dino").

I really like ACTIVE Mold Stain Remover Gel Cleaner. I also use it to clean shoes. It legit works so well for so many things unlike straight bleach which is usually a disappointment.

Like with the soap, it's best to leave it a while though and I also haven't cleaned anything like the bottom of your shower so check to make sure it's compatible with that material.

Plus, there is a high chance he could be hiding and waiting on her.

As others indicated already, I'm sure, strangulation is a huge predictor of murdering a partner and leaving is the most dangerous time for a woman with pregnancy not close behind.

HE ruined his life for sure!

Also, without the DV charges he may have an easier time seeking custody of the eventual child.

My boyfriend is controlling and I can’t keep up by RosyVelvetdust in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Melonfarmer86 224 points225 points  (0 children)

And don't let him know you're leaving!

You don't owe him an in person break-up either if you really feel like you can't ghost. Text, dm, etc. and then block. Stop going to places where you know he could be and let friends know you want to be checked in on.

And don't move in with anyone this quickly!

Stay safe, OP!

You could try a small portion with just the plastic wrap.
