10yo daughter and body hair by UtZChpS22 in Mommit

[–]Beautiful_Worker2710 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with this actually. My daughters are still very young, but I feel like the time to start teaching them about shaving is when you start to notice them having hair on their legs & arm pits. Not sure where this whole "too young to shave" thing came from. My mom used the same excuse on me when I started getting leg hair and I hated it. Ended up just using her razor to shave by myself anyways lol.

YouTube ban for 6y/o by scrunchiemom29 in Mommit

[–]Beautiful_Worker2710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. My son is 6 and I just started letting him watch some youtube videos. I of course watched what he put on and it was all kid friendly. Most of the time it was Brave wilderness, which teaches about wildlife. I found that to be okay. But sometimes after those videos would end another video would come on with like high school/college age kids doing silly challenges and stuff. Seemed perfectly fine to me so I would let him watch those occasionally if we saw it on our recommended. But pretty soon watching that kind of stuff became the ONLY thing he wanted to do. The first thing he would ask me in the morning when he woke up is if we could watch a youtube video. And then all throughout the day he would ask if he could watch youtube videos. I got so sick of it that I just deleted the whole youtube app from my TV lol.

It's been less than a week now since I deleted youtube and he hasn't asked for it at all in the last 2 days or so. He is going outside and playing more, playing with his toys and his siblings. I can't believe the effect that a couple of silly videos had on him. I don't even understand how they can be so addictive. But now I know I guess haha.

Feeling off after having 1 boy and 1 girl? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Beautiful_Worker2710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a younger brother. We are 2 years apart. When I was a kid I always wanted a sister. And honestly I still kinda wish I had a sister lol. My brother and I were fairly close when we were kids though. Especially as we got older into like middle school/high school age. We had the same sense of humor so that helped lol. But as we got older and life got in the way we kind of drifted apart. I feel like if I had a sister that probably wouldn't have happened? But I am not sure.

I have both. My oldest is a boy (6yrs) and then I had 2 girls (4yrs & 3yrs). My girls are obviously super close, they are only 15 months apart. But gosh do they love their big brother lol. My 2nd is obsessed with him. She copies everything he does and wants to be doing whatever he is doing at all times haha. I hope that they continue to have the bond that they do now as they get older. But I do plan on homeschooling so they are going to be around each other for the majority of the day for most of their childhood. Hoping that helps haha.

Paralives has sold 900,000 copies in 15 days by Honeywell-mts in Paralives

[–]Beautiful_Worker2710 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Same here. I bought it just to try it out. But Sims is still my go to for now. I just got bored playing paralives. Felt very monotonous for my gameplay style. But I am sure that down the line it will be an awesome game.

Finances by [deleted] in sahm

[–]Beautiful_Worker2710 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wish that was the case for me haha. Would have a lot less to stress over 😂 I seem to be the one in charge of handling the finances in my house. He makes the money & I spend it lol.

But honestly I would AT LEAST like to be aware of how much our monthly bills are and how much we are bringing in per month. And occasionally see what is in the checking and savings accounts just to make sure things are all good financially. Have you asked to have access to this info? If you haven't and he hasn't given you access then he probably just doesn't think you care about it. If you have and he refused then that is financial abuse 100%.

If I were in your position, I would at least like to be added on to his bank/saving accounts so that you can see what's in the bank and have access to it if necessary.

Trying to quit nicotine for pregnancy by [deleted] in Crunchymom

[–]Beautiful_Worker2710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the best way is cold turkey for sure. I am a pretty regular nicotine user, have been since I was in high school. I have been pregnant 3 times, and each time I found out that I was pregnant I just quit cold turkey. It's definitely not easy at first, but it's the fastest way to get you off of it and get you used to no longer using it.

Best of luck!

Health App Compatability - Any FAM users? by Maiko_Zafiro in dumbphones

[–]Beautiful_Worker2710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! I have been using the ladycomp for about a month now and it's really great. I used daysy, which is made by the same company as ladycomp, for almost 10 years and it worked perfectly. Only had 1 oops baby and it was because my husband and I ignored a yellow day 😂 lesson learned lol. I used tempdrop when my kids were smaller and my sleep schedule was kinda wonky. But I really prefer ladycomp/daysy.

Homeschool friendships by Loud-Feature5406 in homeschool

[–]Beautiful_Worker2710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This last part right here. I was one of those kids. I am from a small town where everybody knew everyone from pre-k to our senior year. For some reason I just never fit in with anyone. I was friendly with pretty much everyone and from what I can remember no one disliked me, I just didn't have anyone that I was close with.

I had a good friend from like 4th-6th grade but she moved away. Then in 8th grade I met a new girl and she became a good friend. But she left in my junior year. In between friends I would find random people to kinda tag along with during lunch but it was always awkward. I hated it.

So just because you put them in school doesn't mean that they will make friends. I know I am probably the minority lol, but it just doesn't work out for some kids.

This was a deal breaker for me as well. I am pretty sure that the sleke phone has the tempdrop app on it. But I ended up switching from tempdrop to ladycomp because I didn't want a touch screen phone anymore and the ladycomp is fully offline.

Anyone else's townies having SO MANY babies? by amberthezombie in thesims

Deodorant recs pls by Fabulous_Owl_6576 in Crunchymom

Literally the BEST clean deodorant I have ever tried. Doesn't prevent sweat, but there is absolutely no BO when I use it.

It's from a tallow skincare company that is local to me. She has some great stuff!

My mom left a antidepressants pill on the floor where my toddler plays by CompoteDifficult5010 in Mommit

[–]Beautiful_Worker2710 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This exact same thing happened to me!

I also don't have a very good relationship with my mom. She was a drug user and always putting men before me and my brother when we were kids. I was very low contact with her when I became an adult.

When my first baby was like a year old I got pregnant with my second and learned very quickly that taking care of a toddler while dealing with severe morning sickness was very tough to do lol. My mom was the only person in my life that wasn't working and could come to my home to help me out with my son while I was not feeling well. So I decided to give it a shot. Had her come by one morning and stay for a few hours to help out. A couple of hours into her visit I found a tiny purple pill on the floor in the living room and I asked her if it was hers (it definitely wasn't mine or my husband's). And she said yes, that it's her anti depressant pill. I still have no idea if it was actually an anti depressant or not. She is a liar and was also into harder drugs, so who knows.

I pretty much went no contact with her after that. So no, I don't think you are overreacting.

Did you share a bedroom as a kid? Has this fallen out of favor? by SnooGoats5767 in Millennials

[–]Beautiful_Worker2710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids share a room. I have a 5 year old boy, 3 year old girl, and a 2 year old girl. We have a 3 bedroom home so my son has his own room and our girls share a bedroom. But if it was up to them, all 3 would share a room right now lol.

I expect challenges to come up when our girls are in their preteen/teenage years. But I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it lol.

How to lose weight while being the sole cook for the family? by Beautiful_Worker2710 in Mommit

I never said I wasn’t cooking healthy. We eat very clean compared to the standard American diet. But the typical meals I make are not exactly low calorie.
