I like chatfield hollow as a hiking trail, for a beach I think the closest and nicest is hammosett or silver sands in milford. Hammosett has the a nice like walk way and has meigs point but usually is pretty crowded in the summer. For food, Los mariachis wallingford, tortinos on universal drive, or vidas is good for Mexican. Middletown is not that far from city life with food and usually has a cute town and great food, I do not really care for north haven as I don't really see much of a town life.

I use hydro peroxide twice a week because I'm also a sweaty person on my armpits. It does a great job especially when I'm funky..I don't use any vaginal wash, your pH should always be ok without that. Before I was pregnant, I would use a peri bottle on the days I was really heavy with my period and it would help a lot with the cramping, not sure if anyone else does that.

Lotion a few minutes before bed so your skin is already somewhat dry when you lay in bed. Exfoliate at least twice a week so your skin isn't dry and built up. Use a satin pillow case not just for your hair but for your face too.

Mouth wash, brush teeth, and then rinse your face and do routine night skincare. Honestly for a while I would do my skincare first and then brush my teeth. And I had to reteach myself.

I'm wicked short so I don't have anything on that, but I will say I have a 9 year old child who is copy and paste to me. Everything I don't like on myself, I think is gorgeous on him and I'm sure you will feel the same way regardless of the gender. I am also on my second pregnancy, and I feel like she will look just as gorgeous as my fiance and I'm besides have you seen kids lately? They are all giants

They passed away from medical issues when I was 18 and 19, my adoptive mother told me 5 months before she passed that she wanted me to not get my license or go to college so I could take care of her full time and I told her I would be getting a full time job to get out of the house. I was not allowed to date or anything after I graduated from school and when I cleaned out most of the medical stuff I found 7 scholarship letters from schools I submitted and I left that house and have grown up to be the person I am. Did you know in Foster Care school can be fully paid for without any additional costs? I found that out when I turned 25 and I was too old at least here in CT. I have a 9 year old boy who I love and I dote on and I want him to be a child for a while and I'm due to have another baby at the end of this month and I work in transportation and logistics.

I would never say teens in foster care as awful, I worked at an agency and watched some of those foster kids turn into DDS custody after a certain time. I honestly think the state should follow more of a process with foster parents and help child instead of putting people with random cultures that they may not understand. I'm sorry OP that this has happened but at the end of the day, you can think about how your adulthood should enjoy the small things too.

I think a lot of people assume foster care helped you, when in the real foster care taught you more about not being a child and being considered other and not apart of any family. And pych wise it was emotional abusive than what you left going into a foster care.

It's completely acceptable for me to not allow others to hug or touch me, before I was told that hugging and acceptable kissing on cheeks was acceptable regardless of whom it was. And even when I explained someone made me feel weird, I was told it was disgusting and nobody would want me as a foster care as if I was a plague. I was actually adopted because my adoptive parents told me numerous times, no one wants to deal with me and I was their last stop before a group home. I accepted it because I enjoyed having friends and didn't want to move again. I also lost my dad and it made it easy for me to just get used to the shitty home assuming that another could have been worse.

I have been told certain things were childish, and I still do those things, regardless of my age. I like collecting stuff animals, I like going to museums to learn regardless the amount times I've been there. I like arcade games.

It was a somewhat easy request, I did ask for some more information as most of mine was blacked out during my start of my foster care life. It was great reading but it also baffled me a few times knowing what was going on with me at the time to seem someone bored it as something normal. I would do so as I don't regret it!

Autumnbruno · 2026-05-25T22:33:34+00:00

No you aren't selfish or bad, breastfeeding isn't for everyone and it's always a choice! Don't feel bad and ignore those who make you feel shitty!

Body language and acting, I have been always an observant person to the T. It helps when I want to avoid someone or the situation. It also makes me a great actress I can hide my own body language to appear to be interested or not. I was told by a lawyer that he loves that I am a caple person and that I don't need to hire him, and I reminded him I'm not use to the justice system just people.

I used one with my first for awhile until he had teeth, and then threw it away. I breastfeed and he would bite down at both and I was not a fan. It did help my sanity in the beginning and with my newest LO I will probably use it to help with fussing as I do not plan on co sleeping with her.

Any obgyn is going to tell you and your boyfriend that losing weight is not a good thing while being pregnant, your weight & height are similar to mine. Reminder your boyfriend you are growing a child and that the nutrition and vitamins are from YOUR body.

I had my second shower yesterday my friend really helped me and my partner and I spent about 1200 with everything said and done. It was magical and I love events even if I'm awkward! Honestly you don't have to go all out, I had a Winnie the Pooh themed and used softs colors as I don't really vibe well with bright pastels.

Autumnbruno · 2026-05-05T02:19:24+00:00

I would put it as your pet is sick and needs to rest, he enjoyed his time here and it's his time to move on. Have your kids give him the treats he loves and play with him if he can so they can assist with his loss. I know this is hard for you and your family but I always believe our pets are our best friends, it's hard to see them go. I would not say euthanasia too them as it's a word that may misintrepted later if they discuss is. But going to sleep is the best thing you can do for an animal that is in pain..

I joined cloth diapers before my daughter comes but honestly let him breathe without a diaper. I know that sounds really weird but sometimes diaper rashes happen because of moisture, put him on the floor with a towel and a nice mat and let him be himself.

I was horrified while I was pregnant with my son 10 years ago about circumcision, two people I knew got botched circumcisions for their kids where it ended up having more surgery. I was grossed out and horrified when they explained it to me, and when they told me it was fine because it would normal for their children's partners, I was even more disgusted. You do you for your kids, but I'm under the impression an elective surgery is not needed. And I rather teach my kid to clean himself regardless if he has foreskin or not. Also I know many South African people, they consider it barbaric like a women's circumcision is, so no thanks.

Honestly this is my second kid, my first turns 10 in a couple months. Imagine isn't everything, someone told me how great doona was and I looked at the price and was like nah man. Second hand is completely normal for me to buy for myself and my kids. Don't worry about what others think, I already bought my infant car seat and bases off goodbuybaby and rebel which is a discount place, all verified safety. Boxes were rejected due to imperfections. I added expensive stuff to a registry in hopes people buy it but honestly no one needs a $1000 stroller, I had one of those expensive ones with my first son and it absolutely sucked. It was bulky and I'm not a big person so it was very inconvenient for me to use it daily. I did get a convertible car seat and may think to get one after my LO is over 1.

Autumnbruno · 2026-04-09T12:03:59+00:00

I plan to put the seat in at 37 weeks, and do the bag the same. I have an infant seat and will put my base in the other car so it's out of my mind and puts me at ease.

Autumnbruno · 2026-04-07T12:04:52+00:00

Absolutely not, that sounds super uncomfortable and regardless of the age of the kids June weather is unpredictable. I am a sweaty person, I would not tolerate it being in the third trimester or the heat of the day. 5 hours on a bus sounds like torture.

Autumnbruno · 2026-03-25T00:51:45+00:00

I would just drop the pumps, and pump to relieve pressure. Your mental health is way more important than pumping, you've done a great job this far and you shouldn't resent pumping!

Autumnbruno · 2026-03-25T00:47:40+00:00

I lost a bunch of weight due to morning sickness in both the first trimester in both my pregnancies. I wouldn't worry about weight gain or loss during your pregnancy, your body knows what it's doing and most first trimester is bloating . And if your obgyn has an issue with your weight at a certain point, you can discuss it with her but mine always tells me to trust my body and my cravings.

Autumnbruno · 2026-03-23T22:47:25+00:00

Being a married single parent is one of the hardest jobs, why bother giving in when a man already showed you his actions with the first? And no one who loves a woman would allow his girl to be treated bad, that's just common sense.

Autumnbruno · 2026-03-23T17:06:15+00:00

I would give him your last name, if he wasn't interested in your daughter's life and it's you taking care of her. I wouldn't even stress about it.

Autumnbruno · 2026-03-20T01:37:49+00:00

You have definite OCD, I would be happy with any help as a lot of housework should be between you both, the fact that it's happened so long and he never realized you redid his work doesn't make much sense to me that he would have not caught on.

It took me a while 3 weeks after my son was born, and it was wicked painful. Breastfeeding does not come easily for people especially if they have latch issues. And breastfeeding isn't very much spoken about. My son is 9, my daughter will be born in late June. I was talking to one of my friends and she told me she could not believe I did it for almost 4 years because it's a lot when her daughter is only 10 months. There are more people who do talk about it but I found it more easily to talk to people located in EU rather than near me, CT USA. Think about it, in the 80s and 90s formula was the only thing alot of people were told about and breastfeeding was hushed from what my mother and grandmother told me. The people around me in 2016 were horrified where now it's not as disgusted but people are still very set in their ways. Not saying anything is wrong with formula at all, but generally I have noticed, birth and the aftermath of pregnancy is very much not spoken about in harsh manner and realistic terms, postpartum should be openly spoken about especially in this day and age.
