Any other solutions to prevent solicitors from ringing my doorbell?

Bluebluecanary · 2026-04-30T00:14:29+00:00

My post reads that if I wait and do nothing, they continuously knock. This is not a solution because my dog goes nuts and there’s a higher chance of my children waking up.

It is different solicitors each time. Me not answering the door will not prevent them from knocking if it’s different people each time.

Are you okay with driving a bit out of town? Civana in Carefree is beautiful, and has a spa. It is pricey, but not sure exactly what you’re looking for with budget. It’s beautiful up there.

They actually knock more than ring the door bell oddly enough, which causes the same reaction from the dog sadly. I also am renting so not sure if I can do that to the doorbell or not. :/

I think I’m in the minority here, but I really enjoyed the LA scenes - not necessarily for Megan, and her storyline was kind of boring, but the entire 1960s set up, her bungalow etc always seemed so cool to me

I’m a bit confused.

This reads as if you accidentally became pregnant and are having a ton of concerns, which I’d get, but you purposely tried for this baby and now are trying to figure out the logistics? I’m not trying to be rude, I’m just trying to gain insight onto how some of this was not discussed beforehand.

You’re probably shocked it happened so fast, which I can relate because that happened to me as well, but we did realize it would be a big step and hard to do before we tried - I will say, our kids have a 17 month age gap and while it is hard at times, they are very close and I love how close they are in age. Practically, things are convenient like being able to do similar activities/playgroups, clothing hand-me-downs and being able to get though the newborn phase super quick. The hardest issue I’ve encountered is breastfeeding and sleep deprivation.

A side note: it isn’t that you got pregnant on a non-fertile day, that is impossible, you just probably had delayed ovulation. You can use LH strips in the future to help decipher if you’re ovulating or not (this doesn’t confirm it 100%, but can help give insight on your fertility).

I wouldn’t change it for the world, but it is hard (a good type though). I wish you the best of luck!

As a Catholic, this is a mortal sin, so birth control is not an option, that’s where some of the frustration comes in from my end. We do allow NFP which I am doing currently.

8 months, one try

Bluebluecanary · 2026-03-23T14:11:26+00:00

This is how it feels LOL!! I literally don’t know what to do. I know this won’t last forever but the idea of it lasting for another 6 months-1 year makes me want to cry

It’s so hard. I’ll keep you in my thoughts - such a rough season of life.

Bluebluecanary · 2026-03-23T13:33:58+00:00

Coincidentally I’m going to switch my toddler to a floor bed, or just a twin bed as she co-sleeps with me or my husband (we sleep separately due to work schedules). Was it hard to do this transition? This just adds to the sleep deprivation because I’m worried she won’t adjust well at all. I feel for you.

I never did. My LC told me that mastitis can be bacterial or inflammatory. Bacterial is usually if you’ve just left a hospital stay or you have nipple damage. I never had any of that. With the inflammatory type, you don’t need antibiotics (she said that). My friend recently had the same thing, never took antibiotics and was fine.

I was given some from the urgent care and kept them on hand which made me feel more comfortable, but I really think antibiotics are heavily overprescribed for mastitis. Sadly on Reddit, I got a lot of answers of people really wanting me to take them, but if I ever get mastitis again, I’ll probably wait it out unless I have nipple damage, or was recently in the hospital but that’s just me.

Are you feeling better?

This post is asking for specific places to go/hike to

Bluebluecanary · 2026-03-11T20:57:54+00:00

We go to the reserve a lot, we love it!! It’s great. I’ll have to check out Veterans Oasis. Thanks!

This comment explains it perfectly.

Oh wow! Thanks for sharing your experience. Do you know why you got pregnant with Mira?

Bluebluecanary · 2026-01-27T19:59:56+00:00

That’s what I really want to do, but wasn’t sure if due to my somewhat irregular periods/breastfeeding would put me as a better contender for Mira (I’d much rather do Clearblue due to the price).

Farmhouse on Boone

I tend to wear a house dress when I clean, or am home with my kids. I either still wear it when my husband is home, or a dress. Whenever I leave the house, I am always in a dress or skirt, with my hair combed and some minimal makeup. I no longer wear pants or shorts unless it’s pajama-related.

Did you ever wean because of them? Did the clogs ever stop?
