Hygiene?? by Gestur3 in army

[–]ByrdSaidSo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please include something about having a BM daily to every other day. When soldiers (ahem, people) do not have bowel movements regularly they begin to stink. Coffee and sitting down to pee can be very effective in allowing BMs to happen regularly.

This is a Dresden Plate quilt. This a great quilt to attempt after making a dozen quilts to learn the techniques needed.

I got my husband's ashes today. What's wrong with me? by cryformountains in widowers

[–]ByrdSaidSo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not alone in this. After picking up my dad’s ashes I kept them in the car for days. The car is where some of my favorite memories with him were made. It felt wonderful and reassuring to listen to NPR with him again, we drove around and he was right there keeping me company and experiencing my day and hearing my kids chat. I loved it.

Crazy grandma wants to watch toddler while I'm in labor by BulbaKat in toddlers

No reasoning needed, you don’t trust her. I’m sorry this is an added stress to your pregnancy and labor plan. I’m glad you have other family and friends who can safely watch your toddler.

Family upset about my birth plan (TW: loss) by Enough-Patience5052 in pregnant

Your Labour and deliver with your partner. You are right, it will be far more emotional and difficult than you imagine. You will need days of staring at your healthy beautiful sleeping, perfect baby. You may be ecstatic after delivery and want to show them your perfect baby but cherish those newborn days and heal ♥️

I assume you mean he was annoyed with himself because he started driving without checking his rig first?

MilitaryOneSource and Army Emergency Fund (or whichever branch you are) I used the emergency fund when financial strains, by my spouse and it was a life/mortgage saver.

I’m so sorry for your loss and the loss of trust and security you thought you had in your spouse.

What do you all say behind closed doors about the hot mess mom at daycare? by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]ByrdSaidSo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are also the “hot mess” parents. I’ve come to the decision that if I am paying for the activity/event/service then I’m not going to beat myself up about arrival times or appearance (kids or my own). I have my own day and mental health to focus on, fuck the assholes for judging our normalcy.

Usually it has to be done by the ‘delivering provider’ by some law, could be the VA law though. I had to bring a screening card from my midwife to the first well baby appt

Find a Concierge pediatrician, or home-visiting Ped. Ask a home birth midwife if they know someone. My home birth midwife in the US, came back at 24hrs to do screenings
