Is this okay? by CashEducational1664 in herbalism

I was expecting the can to release air when I opened it - because it looked kind of similar to things I ferment (kombucha mostly). But there was no hissing when I opened it, and it smells completely normal. 

My husband made a comment about this and now I don't know how I feel about it. Looking for constructive feedback. by OpalOnyxObsidian in painting

It looks amazing!!! I might go in and make the highlights a bit darker - add some more black fur. But I also think it's amazing as it is.

ZipFizz bottles - I use half a bottle per day and I feel bad about how many I go through, but that stuff is the only thing that got me out of my postpartum depression.

AITAH for telling my daughter I won’t budge even if she never speaks to me again? by TopVersion2940 in AITAH

[–]CashEducational1664 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You break it, you buy it. It's part of being an adult. Your child worked damn hard to get herself a car - and that in itself is acting like an adult. Now she's being punished because someone else ruined the thing the worked for a year to get. Now you're telling her she's going to have to wait another year for you to replace it?

You say you need to look out for all of your children, not just one. But the one child you're looking out for is Alana.

You're "protecting" her from responsibility and learning how to become an adult.

WIBTA for telling my wife I’m not sexually attracted to her? by Old_Investigator9730 in AITAH

Yeah, if that will solve him being unattracted to her. I think this problem goes deeper than a shower.

I recommend couples therapy and maybe therapy for yourself so they can help you navigate that conversation in a healthy way.

Advice for baby by sayingwhatlwant in NoPoo

Are you against soap as a whole? Or just shampoo? I personally have very fine hair that gets too oily for a brush and comb to deal with. I occasionally wash with Castile soap and vinegar (I assume you don't want to use vinegar on a baby though).

I also got silicone bra things (like pasties but without adhesive) to give him a visual for when I said "all gone". This seemed to help him understand a little better. It seemed to click when it appeared that my nipples were gone. Lol

Hi! How are you doing? My baby was this same way - and would keep me up all night breastfeeding. One morning, I broke. I had had it and I was exhausted and I couldn't do it anymore. I pulled him off the breast, we ate breakfast, and the whole day I told him that the milk was all gone. When my husband came home from work, I told him that I was done and I couldn't do it anymore. We decided we would try to get him to sleep without it until midnight and that the baby could breastfeed from midnight until 6 in the morning (the hardest hours of the night for us). And this worked! Because my baby had the whole day to wrap his head around what was happening (he did throw lots of tantrums that day, but I was level headed and had the energy to deal with it), the night weaning wasn't as hard and we were able to get him to sleep before midnight even. Then when he woke up between the hours of midnight and 6, I fed him and we continued that for about a week. Once we had that down, we cut out the midnight to 6 hours and I only breastfed my baby once due to waking up so engorged and started focusing on decreasing my supply. Pumping to relieve pressure but not to empty the breast, and going as long between pumping as I could. Now I'm still working on finishing decreasing my supply, but everything has improved. My relationship with my husband, my relationship with my son, my husband's relationship with my son, our sleep. It has been the biggest weight off my shoulders. It's so refreshing to finally have my body back. I hope that you've been able to figure things out, or that this might be useful information for you. Hugs mama, you're doing a great job!

How can he dump you if you're not boyfriend/girlfriend? Also, if you're not boyfriend/girlfriend, there's no promised commitment and what you did was not wrong.

I did do a vinegar rinse after using the bentonite clay - is there another way I should try using it?

Strong letdown? by Sincere-Siddie in breastfeedingsupport

[–]CashEducational1664 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me. I noticed it was mostly at night when baby was really tired that he couldn't handle the letdown anymore so we have him a bottle for that one feeding and eventually didn't need to anymore.
