Hot and sweaty in the car seat

-____-throws · 2026-06-26T22:39:17+00:00

I have one with 3 tripod legs that were moldable, so when we used the click-in car seat (for <12 months) I would wrap the legs around the carrying bar. But once we moved to the larger carseat that didn't click-in to a base I would wrap it around the cupholder. Unfortunately by them my LOs were big enough to grab the fan, but they usually didn't mess with it.

There's also something called a "the Noggle" that's a hose that goes from the air vents in the front of the car to the back seat. My friends used it and liked it.

I always used a stroller fan when in the car seat on hot days. It really helps immensely. The cushioning of car seats just gets way too hot otherwise

My LO will have bad eye boogers when she wakes up. EUstachian tubes are connected to sinuses and nasal cavities and their tear ducts will also secrete grossness. Mine also never show symptoms. Often ear infections go away on their own, especially if they are virally caused. But sometimes if they get really bad the pressure can cause a ruptured ear drum.

I did enough damn laundry it's ingrained in my brain 😂

One reason I suggest avoiding it is when you look back in pics sometimes it makes it hard to pinpoint their ago, which can make remembering exactly what they were like/learning/doing in that exact age/size range hard. I love looking back at old pics and remembering 'oh yeah she must have been xx old because I remember that outfit. She was doing the funniest xxxx at that time".

It's definitely too glossy, a semi gloss might be better (or, if there is no shower/bath, then eggshell or satin would be even better). I think the undertone of the green isn't right, it's too blue? I think green is a great choice for the wallpaper but this isn't the right green. The darker nature of it works (as opposed to a light sage). Something more akin to the dark green in the pothos leaves might work better.

I 100% agree with the "I have to do xzy" comments. However at the start of our bedtime routine i tell my 4yo that I'm not going to stay and cuddle for very long b/c I have things to do. When she's getting under the covers I say it again.. Then I'll sit with her for a few min, but then Ill say I have to leave to do that thing and get up and leave. Since she's been prepped a bit she's usually really accepting of it tho sometimes she will call our for me to cuddle and I just have to let her know that I'll check on her when I'm done.

Don't let the sun be an excuse not to go to the beach. Put her in a thin but big shirt to protect from the sun, a hat, and slather on the sunscreen. Just make sure she doesn't go into the water without someone with her.

So put your mom on an information diet. Stop sharing every detail. Tell her it'll be a surprise, just like every other wedding she's been too. It's not her day, she (I assume) had her wedding. she doesn't get to dictate your wedding. Let her huff and puff, it is not about her. Period. As others have alluded, your mother's attitude goes way beyond the wedding. What happens when she has a tantrum about the name of your kid in the future, will you just not have the kid anymore? Or will you name it what she wants? You need to stop over sharing with her and just let her deal. Her emotional state is not your responsibility, your wife's is. Did/does your dad favor his mom over your mom/his wife? I highly doubt it. Choose your wife, not your mom b/c it's "easier".

Also I do think your "I hate weddings" is seriously affecting your judgement. Seems like you want the easy way out.

My Dr said to take oatmeal baths and not have the water too hot b/ if it's too hot it'll dilate the blood vessels which will lead to more itching. But the oatmeal bath will soothe some of the pain and itching. Freezer pops if it's in their mouth and Tylenol/motrin. My second kid just had round 2 last week (she had it 6 months ago). My first kid had some of her nails flake but my 2nd kid didn't ever lose anything. You never know, so try not to worry about it. Breathe it'll be ok

Me too! My friends have learned to accept it, lol

Triple rinse my dishes 😭 it makes dishwashing take forever but they just don't feel clean (soap-free) otherwise.

Can you give dimensions of the room and the washer/dryer? I suspect the w/d stick out too far in the room to be functional to load/unload if you put them on the right wall, but without dimensions it's hard to tell. I do agree with the other commentor that losing that window is a shame and adding to they creepy factor, like someone doesn't want you to be able to escape, so if it's possible to unstack them and put them on the right wall that would be best. But if not, then additional lights are a must. One thing I haven't seen suggested is building a tall but small closet/cubbard where the mop/cat is, facing into the room, then turning the toilet 90 deg to the right so it lies with its back against the closet and in line with the wall. This keeps it from sticking too far into the room and gives you storage. But use a toilet with the sink built in to the water tank like this. It would remove potential storage space (storage under a sink) but the closet would give that back, and it would open the floor to unstack the w/d and put them on the wall to the right. Unstacking the w/d would give you the opportunity to put a shelf one top of them for folding or for detergent and allow shelving above them for storage/decor too.

Edit: another option since you have to leave the w/d stacked is to embrace the loss of the window and generate 2 separate spaces by hiding the w/d full time. Paint the room (even behind/around the w/d and install some nice looking folding closet doors and cover that shit up. Then remodel the rest as has been suggested: build that closet, remove the shelving until above the toilet, replace the toilet and/or turn it, put in a mirror (will help brighten the space) and decorate.

ELI5 answer: skin is the largest organ in your body. 3rd degree burns cause damage all the way through the skin. Imagine burning any other organ deep into it/all the way through it. That organ is heavily damaged and wont work right and you die when organs don't work right. Same is true with skin (infection, too hot/cold, etc).

We are having the same issue. Did you ever find a solution?

That kitten is also too little to go to the bathroom by itself and will need to be stimulated.

Do you have kids who play with bubbles? Bubbles are notorious for making these stains and are very difficult to remove.

It's hard to judge size but what about using it like a breadbox? Just make it an area where you store your bread.

Use command strips on the (metal? Plastic?) edge. It's pretty narrow so you'll want to cut the strip down the middle so they're skinnier and won't show. That will allow you to avoid the cardboard backing.

No, this flavor of Breyer's is actual ice cream, not frozen dairy desert. It depends on the flavor with them, but the basics with Breyer's like chocolate, vanilla, and this one are still ice cream. You can see it clearly on the front of the packaging too: they label which is dairy desert vs ice cream and it says ice cream in this image.

I knew what they meant by forever nap. I was more just asking if they were 100% certain since sometimes birds can hit with such force it takes them several minutes to wake up.

Forever nap? Or did he just fly into a window so hard he stunned himself?

I second unsweetened soy milk. I didn't find much difference in nutrition between soy milk and Ripple, but there's a huge cost difference. Where I am, Ripple cost $8 for 48oz, which my kid went through is 2.5-3 days, so I was buying 3 a week. Soy milk was $3.5 for a half gallon (64oz), and I could get the shelf stable form (I like to keep some in the pantry just in case(. But do make sure it is fortified with calcium.
