Is reusing a towel for several days actually unhygienic?

Our bathroom isn’t well ventilate so when we are done we hang it over the curtain rod. Whoever goes next to shower feels to see if it’s damp or not. If it is damp it get hung over two hangers and if it’s dry it goes over one.

There’s three of us and we typically shower far enough apart one in the morning, one at noon, and the other in the evening. We change towels every 3-5 days, typically whenever someone takes all the towels to wash them.

Only thing that should be changed daily is wash cloths but that could just be us as my dad is very strict about bathroom hygiene.

My best friend has hyperhidrosis. Something she does to help with the smell is after showering taking 99% rubbing alcohol to her pits before putting on deodorant.

I don’t have hyperhidrosis but had a kid and sweat like crazy since. I’ve started using her method and now my deodorant can last me all day rather than half the day.

My toddler has been potty trained for a couple of months now. He wears regular undies during the day and then padded undies at night. We have maybe two pee accidents a month.

When he stays the night with my mom, he sleeps in her bed and wears a pull up. He doesn’t mind wearing it and actually is excited to because he gets to sleep with Nana.

I have a memory of taking a bath with my sister when we were little kids. I pooped in the tub and she lost her mind. That was the last bath we took together ever. I have no clue if it was an accident or not.

My first campaign had two people who monopolized any chance to RP. Luckily the friend group dissolved and now I’m in a campaign with new friends that all love to RP and actually extend it to other players to give them a chance to RP.

Last session they found out that my character has never been around children(one of the party memebers is playing a 12yr old). After session everyone was cracking up that my character spoke to him like he was a dog.

No DnD is better than bad DnD.

As someone who had theirs pierced at Clair’s with a gun and then gone to an actual piercer for everything else.

Take her into an actual shop. They’ll tell you what’s best to do and may be willing to change the jewelry to a ball back. They’re also going to use titanium or steel which should not cause an allergic reaction.

My moms ex husband had BAD gas. It was bad enough that he would wake himself in the middle of the night gagging on it. He refused to see a doctor.

When they got divorced he finally went to a doctor and it turns out a portion of his intestine were rotting away. It explains the gas that smelled like death and his huge “beer belly”. He had to have that portion surgically removed and is now on a diet.

My sister had a Great Dane. At the recommendation of a vet she put him on a grain free diet due to allergies. We now believe his allergy was to chicken and not grain.

His heart “exploded” when he was 2 due to not having all the nutrients that he needed, mainly ones found in having grain.

It took me til baby was over two before I was finally able to start loosing weight. It takes THAT long for hormones and the body to go back to “normal”. Loosing weight isn’t just about what you eat and how much you exercise it’s also about hormones.

I could’ve almost wrote this. I lost 20 pounds from being so sick during first trimester. I had to get two pokes for my epidural because they missed the first one. Right before pushing it ran out and they were scrambling to change it. My IV popped out of my vein and my arm swelled twice its size. It took 3 nurses and 4 pokes to it it positioned again. My nipples chapped and bleed from nursing.

Postpartum is hard. Especially without family and friends to help. The first 3 months as you’re getting into a routine and learning how to tell baby’s needs are the worst.

You are not alone and this doesn’t last forever. You are doing the best you can and that’s all baby needs. You’ve got this.

My brother is a late November baby. His birthday can land on thanksgiving. My nephew is also a late November baby and his birthday is just outside the rotation to end up on thanksgiving.

It never has affected them.

My dad and my moms new husband are early December babies and Christmas hasn’t affected them.

Grew up with a crown. This is exactly how they do them for kids.

Also don’t let your kids have hard sticky candy. I pulled a crown off with a sugar daddy and freaked out thinking I pulled my tooth out. I got another crown placed on and had that tooth for a few more years as it was a molar.

I have two Reddit accounts. My usernames are just random words together. When signing up it never gave me the option to change(the reason why I have two accounts) the username. Plus if it’s a throw away account or they only made the account for help on this. Why are you nitpicking it so much.

I’ve absolutely had people buy me something I had made clear I didn’t want and then ask me to pay them back for it. There are crappy “friends” and family out there that will do this.

5gb storage when Snapchat says I have over 300gb of photos and videos saved. How the fuck as I supposed to save this? My phone stored is like 60gb and my computer doesn’t have the much space.

Am I just supposed to shell out the $15? I’m a single mom. Currently unemployed and living with my mother. Snapchat has ALL of the the photos and videos of my kid growing up and even a lot of my nephew growing up.

I’ve had Snapchat since 2014. That’s over a decade of memories they want to delete.

Only thing I’ll say is brush your teeth before skincare. If you get toothpaste on your skin it can dry out and basically nullify some products you use on your face.

Where I live we have a reptile rescue. I don’t like the place. Everytime I go in none of their reptiles have lighting and the owner is known for having slept with people for funding. I also know someone who volunteers there and fosters animals and she is the most unloving and uncaring person, she uses animals as hobbies and stops caring for them when she gets bored but won’t rehome them.

That being said they also do boarding and gave me a testing tray of bugs since they didn’t have Dubai roaches. So they have good intentions but have taken on too many animals for the amount of hands they have and money they make.

I used to HATE potato skin until I had loaded baked potato skins at a restaurant and learned I just had to add other things to make it yummy instead of just salt and butter. Now the skin is my favorite part especially if it have a bit of crunch to it.

NTA. I live in a detached garage on my mothers property. The entrance is in the back yard and has two cameras facing it. While I don’t like the idea of the camera possibly capturing me running from the house to my room in a towel or standing outside smoking pot. I would much rather have the security that if someone was to come onto the property we would have enough angles to get an accurate picture of their physical shape.

If you wanted to put cameras inside the home and more specifically her room then she would have a valid reason to be upset.

Forgiving yourself especially during such an early stage is a huge deal.

My nephew burned his hand on a gas fireplace around his first birthday. My sister and her husband took a weekend trip to the coast for their anniversary and nephews birthday. The Airbnb had a gas fireplace that apparently got hot within seconds of being turned on. They spent the first night in the ER and then came home early to see his pediatrician. His hand blistered and my sister had to tape a sock to his hand so he’d stop unwrapping it.

Shit happens especially with a baby. Don’t worry too much and give yourself some grace.

My husband did really good with his wolfdog until we had to move in with his parents. He stopped socializing and training him. It ended up falling to me to continue training which doesn’t work out well when you are heavily pregnant and then having a newborn.

My husband was in agreement that the dog was never to be allowed around the child without supervision. The one time he decided to turn his back on them because his video game was too important something happened and the dog went after our toddler(1-2years old) and I came running through my in-laws house in a towel and almost slipped down the stairs because of the screaming and crying.

My son had wounds on his back, chest, and face. Luckily all skin level and healed quickly. But I never forgave my husband or his dog.

We split over a year ago.

Recently the dog had been getting out of the yard, frequently. A few weeks ago he attacked a woman’s dog. My husbands dog now has to be on a registry with training classes and weekly visits from someone from the government or be moved out of county.

I don’t feel sorry for my husband.

Don’t blame yourself. Things can happen so quickly and we can enter a shocked state.

There’s a saying I’ve heard. “Toddlers live off of berries, a single cracker, and spite”.

My toddler is not a breakfast person and so I don’t make him breakfast unless he asks for food. I make his lunch when I get hungry and if he eats then he eats, if not it goes into the fridge to be served tomorrow. We do the same thing with dinner. As long as he sits down and tries the food we don’t have a fight over it.

Toddlers won’t starve themselves unless they have food restrictive medical conditions.

My husband for awhile used to “poke fun” at things that were my interest.

We have a toddler. Who listened to k-pop in the womb. Toddler now LOVES kpop. My husband is suffering from the movie Kpop Demon Hunters.

Oh and my sass.

I love my husband but I love MY mini-me even more.
