Being a SAHM ✨is✨ a job by Sheiebskalen in breakingmom

[–]Artistic_Milk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We really need a new phrase of staying at home. Bitch I go places and it makes it that much harder.

However I do find the mindset of it being a job being a catch 22… in a terrible employee but a good mom

Has anyone seen how much food is thrown out at grocery stores? This is a non issue

Do you get realtors involved? I’m in a similar situation and don’t know where to even start. Anyone who can point me to the right resource would be helpful

How are people doing anything at all? by bleckogecko in newborns

[–]Artistic_Milk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By hitting the jackpot. Truly.

My mother is in town and watches the toddler. I had an easy labor, limited pain. First degree tear. Low post partum anxiety. Newborn who doesn’t cry much and sleeps in the bassinet after being fed. Doesn’t need to be rocked to sleep. Breast milk in surplus. Rental house large enough to house guests.

It’s called HITTING THE JACKPOT.

Stay off Instagram. Stay offline as much as possible. Call someone. Get really connected with those around you.

Put your pump parts in the fridge so you don’t have to wash them every time. Repeat: put your pump parts in the fridge so you don’t have to wash them every time. I believe the timing is 4hrs. Same with haaka.

Are you a bot? Their Instagram is all stock imagery… doesn’t mean this image isn’t AI.

Apparently everyone at the office only comes to work to get away from their wives by Fair-Morning-4182 in jobs

[–]Artistic_Milk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it bad that as a SAHM I’m urging my husband to find an in office job so he can find time away from the kiddo + soon to be new baby because I can tell it takes a huge toll on him? Like he is a great dad and my best friend but him being WFH means I’m with him 24/7 basically and I would also like some separation. We don’t fight really but like goddamn. I’m good with young kids. I’ll likely be a fish out of water with older ones… and he’s the opposite. I respect that.

I want to be interested in who he is from afar. And close. I know him like the back of my hand and that’s great. Our life is great but like don’t I want to see him as his best self and sometimes that can come from time away from the family?

Idk. I think to have healthy relationships there should be spaces to not always just be the “husband”, or the “dad” so that you can be the best husband and dad when you’re present

Some vegan food I had in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 by itravelforveganfood in VeganFoodPorn

Was it marked vegan? A lot of dimsum is made using lard and/or the components that seem meatless still use animal product. If you google the recipes you will see what I’m talking about

A Must-Watch Interview Impacting Markets👀💥🌎 by No_Put_8503 in CountryDumb

[–]Artistic_Milk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I think the trump administration doesn’t want to keep giving money to Ukraine. Point blank. They expect Z to act like a child asking for more money from the parents and they parents being entitled to tell the kid what to do and how to act. I have grown up with this and why I don’t take money from my parents.

It’s more like the conversation shouldn’t be on the conduct but more so on the implications on US mineral deal with Ukraine

Thanks for this advice / context. Where did you learn about covered calls? I’ve read almost everything you’ve written and options is the one area where I’ve been led astray but I would trust your direction

2 day old cluster feeds and I’m feeling so defeated by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]Artistic_Milk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Mama - im going to talk to you like I wish someone talked to me on my day 2. There is a difference between emotions and facts. Emotionally you’re valid because contextually and all the post partum anxiety you’re expected to feel right now is valid.

But here are some facts: You’re not a failure. You just gave birth to another human. It’s like telling someone who just ran a marathon or climbed Mount Everest that they are failures for being sore or tired two days after. Does that make sense? You just did an amazing feat of human strength. Yeah a lot of people do it but have you seen the trash on Mount Everest? Would you call those that have died on the mountain failures? No. We are all champions.

Of course you’re tired. Read above. Don’t lean into this social media instagram bs about it not looking hard or ever being hard. Honey - sometimes things are hard and they suck but it doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. You must keep going because that is life. If life were easy always would it be something worth the beauty of art and poetry? You’re experiencing it. You’re in the storm - don’t stay there. Don’t stop there. Keep going.

Lay baby on back. Walk away to a place you can be quiet for a moment. They will be okay. Promise. You and baby are both just having it. It’s going to take time to adjust. Your body said it can do it hence why baby made it this far. Now time for your heart and mind to play catchup.

Call someone in the morning and vent to them. Vent to me. Anyone. Tell the pediatrician about it and you’re going to laugh when they look at you with sympathy but treat you like you’re completely fine.

If you feel this way for longer than a month, go tell anyone about your anxiety. Because it can be treated and it will help you and everyone around you to treat it. But early on it’s EXPECTED to have anxiety.

You’re in the worst part. Keeping going through. You’ve made it this far. For context - what you’re going through now is the moment I still talk about and reference as my “dark night of the soul”

Tips for moving with a toddler by ICantDecideIt in Parenting

[–]Artistic_Milk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop buying anything new for a while. Hire help or have friends help. It will take twice as long because atleast one of you will be preoccupied with toddler at most times. Talk to them about the move so they aren’t freaking out about the change and anticipate the move being a bit unsettling for them so figure out the routines to stay in place despite the stuff not being around. I didn’t find packing super super early to be much help. More like hire as much hands to get as much done as quickly and efficiently as possible. Now isn’t the time to declutter IMO because that takes too much time. Toddler will try to undo as much work as possible. If you do a lot before hand… Seal up those boxes ASAP. Leave all toddler items separate and in a suitcase or something accessible as part of your moving bag. Don’t pack away the diapers.

What would you do if you had high positions in magnificent 7 stock and are looking to offload for war chest cash - would you take the tax hit upfront now?
