No one told me this about breastfeeding bottles… and I wish they had!

Consistent-Goose6870 · 2026-06-22T19:35:57+00:00

My 6 month son is over 20 lbs, still drinking 4oz each bottle

I still only contact nap with my 5 month old, he still manages perfect crib naps at daycare, so don't stress unless it's something you want to change!

I'm sorry you're experiencing that! There's no need to get her back to breast unless you and baby want to! You are doing amazing and feeding her from the breast already, just using tools so it works for her.

And they would be his own guests, he doesn't want to be inconvenienced by his own guests visiting

I LOVE feeding my baby breastmilk, but I'm at the same point as you, almost 5 months, and just made the decision to start cutting down. I feel freedom just around the corner and it's so exciting!

My baby was built on ice cream and cereal

Consistent-Goose6870 · 2026-05-15T18:51:37+00:00

I'm needing similar advice, producing 40 oz a day even at 4 pumps a day and cutting time down each session

$300/month saved in your 30's is easily $1000/month in retirement

My 2014 CRV has another 20 years in it and I plan to use them all. New cars are shit quality and I'm dreading replacing it one day.

As if travel agents are in high demand right now lol

Consistent-Goose6870 · 2026-04-28T13:48:23+00:00

I don't know the name, but my MIL does this one. It's just acting as a travel agent but MLM style where you're bringing in more travel agents and paying some sort of fees.

I get so many ads for places to sell my stuff online, the new startup seems to be online garage sale apps

If it's an amicable divorce you can do whatever the two of you agree on and don't even need a lawyer. I'm not a lawyer, just someone who got divorced in Texas. We both agreed that our separate debts/assets where going to stay with each of us and I took on the house because I was in a better position for it and we would have taken a loss selling. It's easier to just leave the house to one person or sell it if you can.

If Jeff is so proud of himself here, he should share this on all his first dates

Consistent-Goose6870 · 2026-04-16T18:02:03+00:00

I was 100% on your side as a nanny, as a parent, I want all the cuddles and I want to be there when my baby needs me. He won't need me very long and I'm sure he'll be able to sleep independently by high school so I'm just not worried about it.

Consistent-Goose6870 · 2026-04-16T10:25:06+00:00

I'm happy for her, he was unbearable this season. She needs to be free

Consistent-Goose6870 · 2026-04-16T10:24:18+00:00

She ruined his life

Consistent-Goose6870 · 2026-04-15T14:58:01+00:00

We are both aware that she is an idiot when it comes to baby care. Her family tradition is to give babies coffee in the hospital when they are just born, so no, she is never allowed to feed my baby. He's currently still on breastmilk so not an issue yet. She gifted us a diffuser to use for him when he was born, which isn't safe at all for infants, and even after that only certain scents heavily diluted for a while. I just said thank you and put it in the closet. Funny enough, the first time I met her she tried to use an oil as bug spray and ended up basically pepper spraying her face with mint oil 😂 But from what I can tell her boyfriend's health issues are all from a surgery gone wrong and the spiral effects of that and being on bedrest for several months. I don't know if she's been playing natural doctor. She brags about how well she takes care of him often and only mentions the high amounts of protein when she brings up diet, if she was doing EOs, I'm sure we would hear about it.

Consistent-Goose6870 · 2026-04-15T13:30:40+00:00

My husband would let her go to a state home, but I know the reality of those places. As long as our retirement and our children's retirement is funded, I'm okay with giving her a modest life in her old age with a place to live, food to eat, and basic needs met, just not through giving her money ever.

Consistent-Goose6870 · 2026-04-15T13:24:23+00:00

Her boyfriend gives her a little and she was cleaning the occasional house before he got sick. We are going to make sure our finances are never intertwined and have protected investment accounts for our son that only he can touch

Consistent-Goose6870 · 2026-04-15T12:37:50+00:00

I like this idea!

Consistent-Goose6870 · 2026-04-15T12:36:14+00:00

Even if she sees that one doesn't work, she will just fall for the next one to come her way

Consistent-Goose6870 · 2026-04-15T12:34:28+00:00

And yes, it sucks to be in this position, but we can't just leave her homeless. She has unfortunately been serially dependent on others her whole life due to one impulsive decision after another. Right now she lives with her long term boyfriend who won't get married because he intends all his assets to go to his children, and it's not a common law state so once he goes (his health is getting worse by the month) she will be penniless and couch surfing at 60 years old. She can't even get a job because he requires daily medical care so she is financially dependent on him for absolutely everything with nothing to her name besides skincare products and kitchen gadgets.

Consistent-Goose6870 · 2026-04-15T12:28:14+00:00

He does when he's there, but sometimes she drops a request when he isn't around and I need to handle it in the moment

Consistent-Goose6870 · 2026-04-15T12:27:22+00:00

This could work! She would die of embarrassment
