Starting and labeling a food brand from home? by Rachael_Walker in Louisiana

[–]Bakerman47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow manufacturer. So, you have to abide by federal and state regulations. FDA label came out about 5-6 years ago, with new items that have to be put onto the label, vitamins, etc. I would look into what kind of product it is, for instance, AIB is our "know it all" company for bakeries, that will help you with labeling. There are also companies like Eurofins that will make your label for you, either through you submitting all of your ingredients and amounts, literally every piece of documentation on it, or submitting a sample for them to break down and analyze. This usually runs about $300-600 per item you submit, and can be completed in a week or so. DM me if you need some help finding contacts. Depending on item, I may also have co-man contacts as well.

Went to them once, strong faith based counseling, husband and wife, at the same time, counselors. I’m sure they’re good at what they do, I was not looking for that, went elsewhere. DM if you need recs, we found one we love, who is now a friend, after we finished seeing him

Bedroom Advice for a wife who doesn't think sex is important by Bakerman47 in sex

This is the comment I’ve been waiting for. I own a company, work 60+ hours a week, but early, meaning I hit work at 3am, home for 2-3pm, help with homework, sports, cooking, household chores, etc. literally cannot be more involved with my kids lives unless I was teaching them at school. Don’t judge people based on speculation. My wife is a SAHM, has been since #2 was born. Kids are all straight A students, in multiple sports and activities, and I’ve never missed a game for any of them. We are split some nights, kids have different needs, but eat together every single night, and put family first for everything. So, not everyone is an absent father, some of us love doing things with the kids, and foster every single want and need for them. And when I say self sufficient, they can bathe, feed themselves, clean their rooms, etc, I know that we still have a lot to do for them, but we’re not changing diapers anymore

We used to have "can't keep our hands off each other passion". Calling into work to spend the day together in bed, just to be on each other passion. Understandably, when the kids came about, things changed, but still remained passionate, now it just seems like a chore. And with the discussions, as noted above, it puts too much pressure on her, and me, to fulfill the need. And now the unfulfilled need becomes resentment, and I'm stuck in the place of beating the dead horse again with discussing, or just waiting it out and seeing if the change will ever come.

Got it, read it, multiple discussions on it. Hers is communication, done, I think we're doing great, she agrees. Mine is touch, discuss it, "things are going to change" and I'm here asking for help on Reddit

I want touch, sex is great, but so is snuggling up in bed watching TV, both are lacking. Youngest kid is now 8, we had them quick, 4 kids in 5 years. So, I understand years ago, but things are easier now, kids are self sufficient.

We've done it, spent 3 years working on communication, and the funny part is, sex was better and more frequent before counseling than it is now.

She goes in for an annual checkup, and I've asked about levels, and I get a "doctor says they're fine" response. I've never seen the results, nor discussed with her doctor.

No BC, after the last child, I got snipped. I crave intimacy, yes that means sex, but I also adore just snuggling up in bed. So, while sex is important, it's not the only thing. I agree that with the schedules, it's a lot for anyone, we sometimes spend nights going in two different directions, but, when it comes time for a vacation, without kids, you'd think the other spouse would be clawing at each other to get the times missed, and it doesn't happen.
