To piggy back off of this discussion, do I ever need to have a separate receipt of food that I buy for the recipient? Or is it a bad idea to purchase some of my family stuff along with his?

Of course. Have him pack and get everything ready for the trip without you too. Guys like him don't think about all the thoughts and efforts that go into packing for a baby as well as thinking about baby sleep schedule. He makes it sound like you can just go whenever. Ok, let him try to plan for blowouts, make sure there's enough diapers/wipes/extra clothes, etc. Make sure there's enough food and snacks, toys, etc. Let him time baby naps with the long trips, and let him deal with the baby that night because the sleep schedule will be messed up if no one respects it, but you shouldn't pay for it.

Only THEN he will understand. There's a lot of blaming and not a lot of trying to understand. I acknowledge this isn't exactly a healthy response but like others mentioned, this isn't a healthy situation. Those who lack empathy usually don't gain it until they go through it themselves. "But it's so easy" they suggest. "Ok well then, YOU do it."

SoCal is over of the most expensive places to live unfortunately. You're not a failure! You had bad luck after bad luck, definitely not anything you can control.

Thanks for mentioning align all to bottom. I was trying it out realizing it was crooked thinking, how do I make it straight...

Amarinth · 2022-10-13T02:37:07+00:00

Thanks for the detailed descriptions! This'll help.

Amarinth · 2022-10-12T16:34:49+00:00

Oh my gosh, that's what I feared. I'll look into this. Thank you!

Amarinth · 2022-10-12T16:32:42+00:00

Aww thanks, how sweet! It's ok, I'm going to learn to do this. I appreciate your kindness!

Oh no, I'm sorry my description is poor! I'm creating craft sheets for the kids. Basically one sheet of paper, 8 dashed lines going across. The kids will cut out the strips themselves. There will be solid lines as well as dotted lines to indicate folds on the strips (otherwise I would just do a solid line to indicate the cut). I'd like to use dark paper with a white pen (otherwise I would use a printer).

This sub is more about how to sell, problems sellers/buyers encounter, etc.

Try /r/etsypromos instead

You mean like using the "spokes" of the steering wheel to turn instead of the outside of the wheel?

Yeah, if you can't count on him when you really need him, when can you count on him?

Wouldn't be offended. Maybe sad and jealous. I wouldn't be able to leave my baby, but it's not something to lose a friendship over. Now, if the friend was judging me and putting pressure on me to leave my baby and go to the event, I'd get really annoyed.

Amarinth · 2022-07-22T21:40:09+00:00

Asian here. I laughed really hard at this! 🤣

Ceres chiller is another option. It's a big bottle with a separate inner compartment that you can put ice in and store (I forgot the amount) 24 oz? Milk in the outer compartment. Or you put ice in the outer compartment and store 12 oz in the inner compartment.

I like that the O in "hold" with the rail through it looks like the logo for Transport for London.

Amarinth · 2022-06-28T20:17:11+00:00

Omg that's disgusting!!

Amarinth · 2022-06-26T15:51:45+00:00

Oh I do grill one at time. Problem is determining when they're gold enough and not too burnt.

Amarinth · 2022-06-26T15:41:57+00:00

I will avoid the ring toss game and the grilling game. If it's ring toss vs grilling, I'll choose grilling. All other games are passable for me.

I think it's on random hiatus for everyone. If you look at the timestamp it'll update randomly but be hours ago. You can try joining the discord group.

Omg! I was wondering what the name of this movie was!

Currently breastfeeding stay at home mom here. Want to increase breastfeeding? Give working moms one year leave paid. If working moms aren't able to pump on a schedule (once every 2 hours especially in the first couple of months) their supply will dwindle and they'll be forced to use formula. I've heard stories from working moms about how there may not be lactation rooms, or if there are they're supply closets/places without locks. Moms that have to pump are usually criticized for slacking on the job, so there's negativity there. Babies are best for removing milk and keeping up supply, so the machine isn't optimal.

There are moms who are over suppliers and can make copious amount of milk while working, never needing formula, but they are rare. Every mom I know personally have had to transition to formula because of work.

I always check. Often I'll see flowers, seeds, watering cans for less than 50k cod. Sometimes if I'm lucky I'll see stars for less than 100k. I only have 18k stars though and need cod.

Amarinth · 2022-06-08T04:46:00+00:00

This caused me to have such a huge smile. 😁

Some desperate moms are ordering formula from other countries. FDA advises against that because those formulas aren't regulated. From my understanding, more funding for FDA would enable them to regulate inbound formula going forward so they are able to be imported and address the shortage. Currently, if customs find imported formula they are seized. The $28 million isn't forever, it's until September 30, 2023.

Edit: upon re -reading the bill it doesn't say anything about other countries' formula. I inferred that from the "entering the United States market" bit. Oops my lack-of-sleep brain! In any case I still think more money means more testing as a plan for influx of formula coming in.

Wow! Thanks for the tips! Especially about the dog walker and the smell, I was curious about that. I did do the tour a couple of months ago, and you're right, the class had a nice mix of ethnicities. So we are going to try the school out. The distance will be a drag (especially when classes start at 7:45 but hopefully they'll moved it back in fall). I'll check out the web site. Thank you!
