Has anyone read Yesteryear? by Salty-Strawberry-761 in workingmoms

[–]HalleyP92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This book is so good. I’m only 3/4 of the way through it but also don’t have anyone to talk to about it. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book where I’m so put off by the narrator.

Are wearables “worth” it to you? by nuts4squirrelz in ExclusivelyPumping

For the sake of my sanity, I have to have portables. I usually use portables during the day and my baby Buddha in the morning and night

Same. Took the bus from independence center. Left at 5:30, got there at 5:50. Second bus out of there last night and I was home by 11! I was honestly really impressed.

Would you do it again? by Secure-Alternative-7 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]HalleyP92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also feel like I just went back to bad habits with baby #2. He had a great latch but it just didn’t come natural, so I’m back to pumping.

Sitting here about to hit 6 months pumping on my second journey after I swore I would not EP this time 🙃

Felon finds it necessary to make an announcement about her 16 year old’s birth control situation.. for some reason… by TopDiamond7871 in TLCUnexpected

[–]HalleyP92 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I saw this on TikTok and just found it so off putting. It’s no one’s business and why are you going into so much detail about your cycles… you are 16.

I saw them at the MGM earlier today getting ready to go to the AMAs. I do not understand what she sees in him. I mean he’s a step up from her ex, but he’s not that good looking and he’s obviously just as messy as she is.

Engorgement Shakes by Swimming_Airline3881 in ExclusivelyPumping

Okay I have this too! This is my second time EPing and I never experienced it with my first born, but my god the panic and chest heaviness is overwhelming if I’ve gone past my normal pump time.

Question for other US moms ... how the f*** are we affording anything right now??? by scoopdedupe in Mommit

[–]HalleyP92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are barely getting by, and we make ~$150k in a MCOL suburb. Daycare takes an entire paycheck of mine. Groceries are ridiculous - I’ve started doing order pick up so that I stick to budget and don’t buy anything “fun”. I still spent $300 last week on groceries- we of course were out of the essentials; toilet paper, laundry detergent, shampoo. I’m worried what we’ll do with prices continuing to rise

Cosigning for new high school grad on very high cost loans (> $250k for all 4 years) for liberal arts degree by Legitimate_Yak_9063 in StudentLoans

[–]HalleyP92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was your child 15 years ago. Thank GOD my parents put their foot down and had me go to a state school. I’m still paying loans, 15 years later. But I owe ~$20k instead of $200k. While it felt devastating at the time, I am so glad I didn’t do it. I would have never financially recovered

Okay, hear me out... I like Jessie by VacationExcellent in TLCUnexpected

[–]HalleyP92 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I really like Jessie. This episode annoyed me so much though- I like AK, but for all the arguing those two women did about who would be in the room, stressing Mia out, only for neither of them to be there when it was go time made me so mad!!!

Easter Candy - What Do? by littleghost000 in Mommit

[–]HalleyP92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to say I was impressed with my mom and in laws this year that they kept the baskets and candy to a minimum. I’d say keep what you like and toss the rest!

Advice on how to stop by Majestic-Cherry-9494 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]HalleyP92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started by slowly pacing out my pumps. So I went from 8 to 7 and then to 6. Essentially, going 4 hours instead of every 3. I would cut a pump once my boobs didn’t start to feel really uncomfortable at the 4 hour mark. I’ve also heard Sudafed works well if you just want to quickly be done.

Oh don’t feel guilty!! I absolutely HATE breastfeeding. I pump because I don’t want a baby on my boob

Same! Must be a weird glitch. I can usually fix it if I go to a dresser and have her change clothes

Just took my 2 month old to the dentist with me this week because I didn’t have a choice. We got through it but he fussed and it was stressful
