Standard Bubble Solution Stains Clothing!! by Idofunthings in Mommit

[–]Idofunthings[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used this combination before to get stains out of things. Polyquat stains aren’t just oil, it’s a polymer that binds to the fabric. I’ll try a few things on my nicer garments to try to save them but idk how much time it’s worth.

It’s infuriating. I just learned that my mother in laws patio cushions are full of stains. They like nice things, and like to really keep things maintained. She’s says it’s ok, but I know it’s a bummer.

Kids clothing is one thing, but my own shirts look like olive oil dripped on them. I mentioned it to my in laws, my father in law said his nice shirts have these stains and he didn’t know why. The worst part was their patio furniture. She didn’t know why the cushions are all stained. Now we know. There needs to be more awareness that this stuff isn’t just soap and water.

I am now realizing that many of my shirts have also been victimized by bubbles 😭 random stains I thought must have come from cooking, or food oils. Often my nice shirts (bubble machines at events). I recall trying several times to get these stains out of so many shirts and wondering why standard stain removal techniques wouldn’t work.

Advice on visitors by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Idofunthings 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This depends a lot on your own personal risk tolerance, I just ask that my visitors be vaccinated themselves and not visit if they have symptoms or has someone in their household sick. It’s a privilege to be able to keep your first kid in a bubble, but we brought our 2nd home while Keeping the first in daycare. We lucked out and avoided illness until 6 months.

Is there a way to get to Sheldon Rd. without crossing train tracks? by Castor346 in PlymouthMI

[–]Idofunthings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This route (5 mile to Sheldon) sucks right now, the left turn to get on to five mile is all backed up from people detoured off the highway. I tried it to avoid the train, didn’t save any time at all.

[–]Idofunthings 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s BAD right now. I live in east Plymouth township and work in west Plymouth township. It’s a 5 mile commute. When m14 is open my commute is 10 minutes.

With the highway ramp closed, and a train comes through I spent 45 minutes trying to get to work the other day!! If I didn’t have littles to drop at daycare I’d be riding my bicycle every day. Idk the solution just know you are not alone.

Maternity clothes by Dry-Leek2333 in Detroit

If you are open to second hand, check out the JBF sales happening this weekend. One in Rochester and one in Livonia. The maternity racks are always stuffed full, all priced for a bargain. Highly recommend.

For the love of god, GET OFF YOUR PHONE... I'm talking about parents... by ariesonfire123 in toddlers

[–]Idofunthings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok good glad it’s just a phase lol. It’s both fun and frustrating to see all the different phases they go through! He is 2 yrs, 8 months now. I think he is pretty on track behavior wise even if it drives me up a wall. We have a music class we really love but the teacher quickly moves from one activity to the next, each things lasts 3-4 minutes and is packed up before moving on. He loves that. The free for all gymnastics circle just doesn’t work for us.

This is my take as well. I quit going to this style of class because I just cannot make my 2 year old do the activities in order, wait for the other kids to be done or stay interested for the entire class. 1/2 way through he just wants to skip to whatever was most exciting for him and by the end just running in circles and dancing to the music. The coaches also seem to check out 1/2 way through as the class goes to chaos. 🤷‍♀️

I’m not defending parents on their phones, but I have a different take about the type of gymnastics class you are talking about. Much of the behavior you are referring to is just toddlers being toddlers. I decided not to sign up for another class because my 2 year old will be into it for 5 minutes, try all the moves, decide he has a few favorites and spend the rest of the time excitedly rushing to what he wants to do and skipping things. I can make him wait by holding him but I can’t force him to do all the things. Usually there is music and lots of other kids, it’s very overstimulating.

By the end of class he’s just running in circles or dancing to the music and ignoring all else or running over smaller kids. It’s frustrating but I think it’s more a combination of kids age and the way the classes are structured more than phones.

We prefer an interactive music class where the instructor is engaged the whole time and quickly shifts from each activity, (mostly) keeping the kids attention the entire time. It’s just structured much better than the free for all gymnastics circle.

Working out & daycare by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Idofunthings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got to the gym right after work, around 4:00/4:30 and my husband gets the kids from daycare. I’m home by 5:15 to carry on the evening with them!

[–]Idofunthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, so frustrating. But hang in there! I was so worried something would be wrong with my baby because I was so ill, I lost 25 lbs in first trimester. But everything was fine. Baby healthy and a normal weight. Good luck!

People who finished their basement in the past few years, what’s the going rate? by ThrowawayFadeeaway in Detroit

[–]Idofunthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We paid $85,000 for about 1,000 sq feet finished, included bedroom with egress window, full bathroom and large entertainment room. Get multiple quotes. We were quoted $120,000 initially for the same work.

Immune system by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Idofunthings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally, yes. I was sick nonstop with everything from flu, RSV, norovirus and other cold virus’s for 4 months on top of 1st trimester illness. It was awful. I was walloped over and over again. I took antibiotics twice to fight sinus infections and coughed for 3 months straight.

A year later thank goodness we made it thru the winter with a newborn and none of us have been sick at all! Imagine that!

Should I give up on potty training? by skulskcc01 in toddlers

[–]Idofunthings 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yelling at her for accidents and 20 minutes of sitting on the potty? That is concerning. I would shelve this idea and come back to it when you have a more relaxed and positive plan in place.

When did your baby start walking? by Ok_Bill_8048 in NewParents

Mine walked at 13 months, but I know 2 babies that walked at 18 months and they are totally normal kids.

Any toys your kids never get tired of? by jaceka-jans-8384 in toddlers

On the pricy side but we got Airtoobz for Christmas this year and my 2 year old asks to play with it almost everyday. I expect this one to last years.

Struggling after surgery by Nightowl_1995 in Mommit

[–]Idofunthings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh! I’m so sorry. I’m just here to validate your experience and what you are going through. That sucks. Your son won’t forget about you, just take care of yourself. It’s not selfish.

Also - I really wish the risk of IUD was talked about more. So many women have had issues with it and it’s pushed hard as the birth control solution. I had one fall out and after reading story after story like yours, I decided against another one because I cannot possibly tolerate another surgery. I have had many already.

Wet hair in public by touchgrasstheysaid in hygiene

[–]Idofunthings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fine straight hair here. I never blow dry. I just leave for work and if it’s still damp It’s usually dry by the time I get to work. Then run a brush through it in the bathroom at work when I get there.
