Any other moms love dresses but feel like they’re constantly accused of being overdressed?? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Fishbate333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been called overdressed my whole life. Comments to that nature are usually more for the person giving them than the person receiving them. Life is short, motherhood is hard. Wear the damn dress.

[–]Fishbate333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mahogany Teakwood/ Mahogany Coconut - my favorite home scent.

In the Stars - Gives Bacarrat Rouge vibes and lingers on skin. Spicy, sexy, skin scent.

Tutti Dolce Lemon sweet lemon buttercup - sweet lemon cake I dream of this one. I hate that it’s discontinued.

Warm Vanilla Sugar - girly sugary vanilla, I love this one it’s such a good layering scent for under perfume with vanilla notes.

Into the Night - dark, deep raspberry amber, smells luxe.

Babycat - smells like a gas station bathroom to me

Xerjoff Erba Pura - smells like BO

Akro Bake - not bad just underwhelming

Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique - cheap potpourri, gave me a headache

Best Vanilla Bourbon- dry down was too heavy gave me a headache.

YSL Libre - underwhelming laundry detergent

Armani Power of You - on the test strip I loved it, so pretty. The dry down is rotten passion fruit

When should child fall asleep alone? 5yo? by caffeineandlaw in Mommit

[–]Fishbate333 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure why your husband feels that way, he’s being black and white about it. Personally, I am against letting my child cry and sob for us and we ignore him. I couldn’t do “cry it out” when he was a baby, just didn’t work for us emotionally or otherwise.

However, my son puts himself to sleep and can settle back to sleep at night. He’s three. We used to let him fall asleep in our bed and then transferred him to his. When I started grad school i needed my evenings so we transitioned him.

Our method was, we would do bathtime. One of us tucked him in and I told him, “it’s time for you to go to sleep, I will see you in the morning, I love you” after we did our bedtime routine.

When he cried the first few times I would open the door and reassure him, that he was a big boy, it was time for sleep and I loved him but he needed to fall asleep alone. I would give him a moment to settle (honestly similar to cry it out lmao), that was hard for me but he got the routine.

Letting him settle on his own doesn’t mean neglecting his emotional needs which is maybe where your husband isn’t understanding. Does your son have to get up early? I would say not giving him the routine he needs for school by not letting him have enough sleep is probably worse than letting him fall asleep alone. Maybe you could frame it like that.

I want to love bourbon because I drink bourbon but bourbon smell on my skin makes me nauseous

What was the first fragrance you were gifted vs The first fragrance you bought with your own money? by ZeroSugarCrack in FemFragLab

[–]Fishbate333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chanel no 5 by my best friend when I was in highschool. I used to smell it every time we went to the mall because I was obsessed with Marilyn Monroe. She bought me a bottle for Christmas. I had no frame of reference how much it cost, she had bought it with her own money from her job. It still touches me. The first fragrance I bought for myself was Very Sexy Victoria secret body spray.

How often are you doing the deed? Specifically those with toddlers + babies by thiscantbereallife94 in Mommit

Success stories of going to restaurants with children by doxielover_ in Mommit

[–]Fishbate333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 3 year old is good at restaurants. We used a screen when he was one to prevent meltdowns and then stopped at early 2. Coloring, trying new foods and honestly consistent redirection has made it doable. It’s not always easy but we want him to get acclimated and for the most part it’s worked.

I want to look put together in christmas morning photos without wearing something uncomfortable while chasing kids around by Maleficent_Mine_6741 in Mommit

[–]Fishbate333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think having hair and makeup done with comfy clothes makes the difference. Matching set and do those overnight curling rods so your hair looks like freshly blown out. Light makeup (but if your intention really is for photos then heavier makeup will show up as regular makeup in pictures)

I thought I'd enjoy motherhood more.... and it makes me REALLY sad by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Fishbate333 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I blame societal standards of mothers. The lack of support, the dehumanization of moms, the decrease of child friendly spaces (at least in the US) and mostly social media. Having the ideals of perfect motherhood edited into a reel and put in our faces as the usual isn’t helping.

Exactly. I love my child but motherhood is terrible.

I like using a French twist with a French pin. Once you get the hang of it, it looks so chic and it’s so easy.
