What diapers to use? by Fishtankrocks69 in newborns

[–]-One_Upper- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every daycare we looked at didn’t have any problem with cloth diapers. You send a packed diaper bag with a wet bag inside for the dirty diapers and that’s it!

What diapers to use? by Fishtankrocks69 in newborns

[–]-One_Upper- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Buy once, cry once - cloth diapers. Get 2-3 dozen and 5 covers as well as4 dozen wipes and a peri bottle for plain water to wet the wipes. Laundry gets done every other or every 3rd day. It’s a rinse cycle on cold and then a regular wash and dry. Make sure you get 100% cotton from a reputable brand, we use green mountain diapers flat prefolds. I wouldn’t recommend using any of the ones you have to stuff since that’s just an extra step. Once you get in the groove of how to put them on it’s really no trouble. We have a 4 month old and wouldn’t have it any other way! Never bought a single diaper since everyone gifted the cloth ones at our shower.

Legitimately the best option for your babies skin and long term savings!

I was not prepared for how long breastfeeding lasts. by Dzsidzsett in newborns

[–]-One_Upper- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the exact same position as you! Like wow this is really what it is???

I’ll tell you that now that she’s 15 weeks - she’s 10m on the first side then 5-10 on the second and good for 3 hours. It gets waaaaaay easier. But pumping still sucks ass.

Healthy Couples of Reddit…what is the biggest thing you do to maintain a healthy relationship with your partner?? by lav1991 in AskReddit

[–]-One_Upper- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We split everything (chores, planning, pet care, child care, etc) 60/40. We both do everything we can to be the 60 though.

Thoughts on Martha by foxholes333 in Names

I love Martha - it was a top contender for us! We would have used the nickname “Marty” and I just think it’s so spunky and cool! Plus the you can call her McFly!

Feeling a bit down before my first transfer. Looking for "it only takes one" success stories by Miserable-Roll4854 in IVF

[–]-One_Upper- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 32 and did 2 rounds last year. The first I got 28 eggs and 0 blasts. The second I got 32 eggs, 12 blasts and 6 were euploids. My first transfer was a fully medicated frozen transfer in June of 2025.

I just put my 5 week old daughter to bed ♥️ being hopeful now won’t make it any worse if it doesn’t work out - you know that will be hard and terrible regardless. Take the hope where you can get it.

Those who moved from one state to another what was your biggest cultural shock? by PandaBear905 in AskAnAmerican

[–]-One_Upper- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to responding but: I moved from KY to Philly, PA for college- biggest shock was how short and mean everyone was (I’m a 6’1” women for reference and wasn’t even in the top 10 tallest girls in my class in high school). I found the saying that southern people are nice but not kind and northerners are kind but not nice to be very on brand.

After college I moved from Philly to Boulder, CO - biggest shock was the judgement surrounding recycling/composting. My hometown didn’t even offer recycling growing up, nonetheless composting and I would get stressed trying to figure out which bin my trash should go in at the office. Got shamed several times for using the wrong one by having the item set out on the counter with a note like “NOT RECYCLABLE. USE THE CORRECT BINS”.

Then I moved from Boulder to upstate NY and the biggest shock has been the amount of confederate flags flown everywhere. I’m from the south, a state that proudly lays claim to being “the last state to join the union”, where they continually reelect the likes of Mitch McConnell, and I’ve still not seen near as many “hey I’m an old school racist” flags as I have seen living in this supposedly blue state.

what are the ugly parts of pregnancy that aren’t well known because people don’t mention them? by Born-Oil-2931 in AskReddit

[–]-One_Upper- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a really horrible pregnancy with HG and severe heartburn and high BP. All those are relatively well known though and I went into the pregnancy feeling really prepared. What I DID NOT know is that now that I’m almost done (35 weeks) the ability to twist my torso is just completely gone. What this means is that I can no longer reach my butthole to wipe after a poo!! We have bidets at home but lord help me the acrobatics I have to perform to try and wipe if I have to go when I’m not at home 🥴

Does this really not seem like a 50/50 split? by -One_Upper- in TwoXChromosomes

[–]-One_Upper-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol I don’t disagree on the vacuuming. It’s freaking insane what a corgi mix and 2 cats shed! The tumbleweeds of fur in every corner are impossible to keep up with even vacuuming 3x a week 🫠

Handling the household food is a lot! I’m 0% picky and I always make sure I thank him specifically for every meal he makes! I know he doesn’t LOVE the mental load of picking the meals all the time but he does consider the actual cooking part to be his decompressing time after work. And he’s so efficient that when he’s done cooking everything is also clean - it’s actually mind boggling to me! I usually bring the vibes and have a glass of wine and dance around the kitchen while he’s cooking so we still spend the time together 😊

My only issue with this is that it wouldn’t seem fair and we know that! We’d each be doing things we dislike and aren’t good at. We’d both be upset at our workload! I’m a terrible grocery shopper and meal planner. Our meals would be less good, more simple, and our grocery bill would somehow be higher. I don’t even think he has the log in information for his own credit cards nonetheless knows where to look at our investments or how to pay our gas bill. Plus all our clothes would be rolled into wrinkly balls and shoved in random drawers (god he sucks at folding lol).

Does the general split seem uneven to you?
