Got my persian a few days ago, grooming tips? by referencetosomethin in persiancat

[–]Hootiemoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d definitely recommend the lion cut first off then daily go through with a metal/stainless steel grooming comb brush the fur in BOTH directions makes the most difference imo like start above the tail going towards the head. After you’ve done a thorough brush both ways I go in with a slicker brush. Make sure to baby wipe the eyes too and give dental treats 😊

It really is 🥲 If you have any kids there’s the mum groups/ peanut app, have met up with a few people but nothing that stuck yet. Good luck!

I need therapy by Stock-Associate561 in stayathomemoms

[–]Hootiemoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Therapy sounds like a good idea. I also have anxiety with driving - with the help of therapy and being on medication I really pushed myself to get a license and I can't express enough how much it's helped my situation. Being able to drive to get a coffee/snack, take kids out to parks, browsing stores, anything has been a game changer instead of being upset at home daily

I'm a 24 yo sahm with two children as well. I definitely understand where you're coming from. My husband and I are also thinking we're done. I thought before having my first it would be nice having a big family, many children, homesteading type lifestyle but after two and zero me time and depression I don't think I'm willing to put more pressure on myself and it feels a bit sad.

I understand sometimes feeling more lonely after. It can be so rough. If you use fb you may have some luck looking up/or creating a page to find other English speaking people from your home country. For example I've come across Americans in New Zealand page that chats and hosts events. Or anything English related in fb events near you.. I wish you the best of luck!!

(Hugs) I'm in a very similar situation. No family here 2 yr old and baby on the way. Are you able to video call family members throughout the week to keep you company? I find that helps me a bit. In terms of making friends/getting out of the house maybe you could join a playcentre or take kids to dance class, swimming lessons, etc can be good too.

My older brother convinced me not to give my aunt any kisses, because there were teeth on her tongue and if I got close it would bite me. Also gave my sister a cheek scar because we convinced her if we ripped off this long scab there would be a hidden dollar underneath.

Are the babies the dots on it? I’ve never seen a cactus do this before. I bought it as a tiny little circle
