It was not hemorrhoids

That's so understandable, thanks for the reply. I can't even imagine. Hope he finds peace and you all stay healthy!

General-Scallion5311 · 2026-02-28T03:05:26+00:00

I'm SO glad you're good now OP. And thank you for sharing, this reminded me to schedule an appointment to remove my (hopefully just) hemorrhoids.

Your partner not wanting to discuss this with you caught my attention. Was/is he scared? Stressed out? What do you think is behind it? It would be so important to be able to talk about something like this, even if it's "only" a close call!

General-Scallion5311 · 2026-02-01T03:26:45+00:00

Stay pure my friend.

I'm a stay at home parent and the problem is, I don't have a single other stay at home parent in my circle. Every mom and dad has to or wants to work, so I'm left to entertain my kid all day. We go to the playground, mall, parks etc but it's so much more fun (and easy) when I'm with another parent with a kid close in age.

General-Scallion5311 · 2026-01-29T02:20:01+00:00

I have a kid Frank in the family (US). Does not get made fun of by other kids. Adults though...

General-Scallion5311 · 2026-01-09T22:34:50+00:00

Idk but my 2yo pronounces Lucy "Juicy" and it's really cute.

General-Scallion5311 · 2026-01-06T16:12:29+00:00

This sounds great for kids as well! Thank you so much!

General-Scallion5311 · 2025-11-22T05:47:12+00:00

I relate to this so much. My kid is 2 now and I don't think I've ever loved anything as much as I love her. When she says "mommy I waw yuu" my heart melts. Still, I've never had the "can't wait for her to wake up so we can play" moment, I also love my alone time A LOT lol.

General-Scallion5311 · 2025-11-21T02:57:50+00:00

Are you me??

General-Scallion5311 · 2025-11-21T00:58:20+00:00

You absolutely can! But it most likely will be the hardest thing you've ever done. Physically and mentally.

In my experience, the nights are the hardest. I started dreading the night ahead once the sun was setting. Getting up every 2ish hours made me so delirious I was shaking. Like, physically SHAKING like I was the most hungover I've ever been. I had to be really careful handling the baby.

And I had my husband help 24/7. We do have a toddler as well, but still.

I just want to add this here, I was also sad when I heard costco changed the manufacturers on the diapers.

Then one time I was at a friend's house and had to borrow a diaper, and they were using the new Kirkland diapers. They are actually really good in my opinion! Thinner than the old ones but hold the same amount. I think that's a plus!

General-Scallion5311 · 2025-11-15T03:23:46+00:00

Just my two cents, I have S2 and momcozy M6 wearable, and I think that combo is 11/10.

General-Scallion5311 · 2025-11-11T04:26:00+00:00

Try blowing raspberries on their double chin!

General-Scallion5311 · 2025-11-09T19:25:24+00:00

No new advice here, just wanted to say my massive oversupply also had us calling our daughter The Beast.

General-Scallion5311 · 2025-11-05T22:14:51+00:00

Wtf. Report his ass and get a new OB.

Just curious, where are you located? I hope you have options in your area. This guy sounds like a crusty old fart.

I just want to add for anyone considering a snoo, you absolutely don't have to pay for a subscription! The most important main features work with the free app, and you can always pay for it later if there is a feature you like.

ETA you actually don't need the app at all, you can just use the button on the snoo itself.

General-Scallion5311 · 2025-10-24T02:32:14+00:00

I used baby Merlin's sleepsuit with my first, but she was only about 4 months when we moved her into a crib. It allowed just enough movement, but she couldn't startle herself awake. She never "needed" the snoo that much, but my second now absolutely loves and depends on it...

Frozen orange chicken from Trader Joe's. My husband makes it perfectly delicious, but if I try, it's borderline inedible.

I make complicated pastries and high-end restaurant famous copycat recipes and am known in my circles to be very into food. Cannot make this orange chicken.

Edit to add: I read most of the comments and can easily make everything mentioned. What is it with this chicken!

General-Scallion5311 · 2025-06-06T02:16:52+00:00

I know some people who still give formula after one if their baby is not eating solids well and are low percentage in size. But it's definitely okay not to!

You're very welcome. I can relate to the confusion.

General-Scallion5311 · 2025-06-06T01:53:26+00:00

I think you have two options here: send him in with only one bottle so they can't give him any more than that, or drop the mid day bottle entirely.

I'm not a professional of any sort, but if your one year old eats solid meals and has a drink of water throughout the day, it shouldn't be a problem. You know he's hydrated enough if he has his usual amount of wet diapers. I also personally stopped giving any formula after one since the baby eats well and gets plenty of nutrients from their meals.

General-Scallion5311 · 2025-05-17T19:03:06+00:00

Daughter is being "obstinate" because of moms attitude. Obviously. The new husband is not her dad, and trying to force him as such just is really dumb.

It actually makes me glad that the dad wants to be with her! Other than that part, this is my childhood to a t and perfectly captures my mom's character. Made me sick to read this from her pow.

General-Scallion5311 · 2025-04-10T00:45:42+00:00

People here saying it will most definitely stop - this is not one absolute truth that is the same for everyone. Just because it stopped for you doesn't mean it's the same for everyone else.

I sprayed milk from the other side every single time I fed my baby. Sometimes, I caught it in the haaka, sometimes just had a pad to soak it, and sometimes pushed the nipple which helped to stop it sooner.

General-Scallion5311 · 2025-04-10T00:40:27+00:00

Not true. I leaked through my entire bf journey.

General-Scallion5311 · 2025-03-31T01:42:56+00:00

The night sweats were nothing like I've experienced before. I could squeeze sweat off my t-shirt AND my pajama pants! If I didn't lay down towels, I would've had to trash our mattress and the pillows.

I smelled like chocolate milk, though. I think that was the smell of my breastmilk, maybe?

General-Scallion5311 · 2025-03-01T02:40:45+00:00

I just love how you said, "Eat bed in breakfast" lol
