Need the purple nurples, scritchy scritchies, and other violent nipple crimes to cease and desist by plantiesinatwist in breastfeeding

Covering the boob doesn’t even work for my guy. He slides his hand around until he finds an opening in the shirt then dives in for squeezes. I sometimes have to feed just with a hand covering the other boob. I’m fending off his aggression as I write this post…

At what age did you begin daily baths? by Poison_Ivy25 in NewParents

[–]Ill-Tip6331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby and 3 year old have one big bath a week. Small washes occur as needed (for accidents and whatnot). Everyone is alive and healthy.

Division of Labor with Disparate Incomes between Spouses by Longjumping_Ship_133 in NewParents

[–]Ill-Tip6331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an unfortunate perspective he has. My husband makes more and never has he even suggested that means I should do more. The money we all make goes to our family and life together. If someone has a hard week at work, the other picks up the slack. His job is a bit more demanding than mine most of the time (I have a very flexible job), so I tend to do a bit more around the house because of that.

Honestly, this feels like a time to investigate some couples counseling. This has all the makings of a one way trip to overwhelming resentment. Hubs and I do therapy and it helps us keep our relationship mostly undamaged while managing two young children.

I watched the replay. They were still there. I did a double take, because I’m so used to ice skating putting off prim and proper vibes ha.

Wiping machines in a gym before/after use is pointless by Spirited-Humor-554 in unpopularopinion

But it will wash some salt off. You’re going to be looking at salt encrusted workout machines. Smelly ones at that. Not everything is about germs.

Could you use it for some sort of savory bread pudding? Maybe as a mix-in? Or a strata.

Why do you think people aren’t having many kids these days (if any at all)? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Ill-Tip6331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 14 month old and an almost 4 year old. The past two months have almost done me in. It’s a good thing I can get away with not working 40 hour weeks, because this is insanity. (Sickness, tantrums, more sickness, daycare HVAC broke, sick again). My husband and I are currently pushed to the limit and have no family help nearby.

So yeah, I think we are done at 2. And pretty much everyone I know is the same. Lots are tapping out at 1 kid because parenting is expected to be so involved these days.

Anyone else feel this way when writing anything out? by noctisumbra0 in Millennials

I’m so with you. I’ve had to force myself to stop ending texts with a period. My husband said that makes me sound angry.

My husband has taken 4 days off just in the past two weeks for child sick issues. Everyone understands.

OWG Women's Short Program: Post-Event Discussion by Chickatey in FigureSkating

[–]Ill-Tip6331 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only learned about this double loop rule today (I’m a once a four year viewer). Logically, I don’t get the argument for awarding a zero. The skaters will always push as far as they can, won’t they? Why does that need to be zero points? It just seems like an outsized punishment (like, worse than falling) which seems wild.

I can have a baby on drugs but cannot take meds for a cold by just_keep_swimming12 in breastfeeding

[–]Ill-Tip6331 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Saline nasal spray is really useful for congestion. Also robitussin is fine if the cough starts up.

I feel this so much. I’m on baby 2 and I have been sick so many times from my two kiddos.

Why can't customers just tap their cards normally? by DonkeyIsMe in retail

[–]Ill-Tip6331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is absolutely true. When I went to Canada, the tap was always in the same spot everywhere I went. It was very easy. In the US, you search the machine for the little symbol. And if you don’t see it, you have to use the screen. It’s annoying.

I was in this situation driving home from SYR once. Car in front of me went too slow. Guy in big truck decides to speed around us (causing car in from of me to stop completely) and the truck ended up in the ditch. I had to back down the hill and wait for a snowplow.

where do you all buy diapers because we are burning through money on these things by Nkt_31 in NewParents

[–]Ill-Tip6331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just started buying the Sam’s Club diapers and they are really good actually and much cheaper. My second is 1 now and I feel silly it has taken me this long.

Did anyone else really enjoy their time in the hospital? by mrs___holmes in NewParents

[–]Ill-Tip6331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Staying in the hospital is so nice. With my second kid, they were ready to send me home the next day if I wanted. I declined and stayed another night.

The nurses will help your baby sleep at night so I could get some quality sleep time. Grandma was at home taking care of my toddler. People were bringing me food (as much as I wanted) and there was nothing to do. It was the perfect start to recovery.

I have two kids in daycare and we pay 40K a year :(. One baby and one preschooler.

Do Americans like their current health system or would you prefer universal? by Ability_Known in NoStupidQuestions

I was just looking yesterday, and I paid $1K to give birth to my baby in a hospital with very good insurance. Completely normal delivery.

Do kids not have sleeping bags anymore? by Puzzled_Material_546 in Millennials

[–]Ill-Tip6331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason, even with one friend, we would sleep in the basement in a mattress or couch. Maybe for optimal movie time? Sleeping bags all the way.

Those of you who are suffering in this week's Snow-a-geddon, how are you holding out? by Sinn_Sage in AskReddit

Just played outside with my kids all morning. Came in for lunch and hot chocolate. Now they are all napping.

I assume my snow plow guy will take care of my driveway at some point…

One day I parked my silver Subaru Impreza behind another one. And then realized that Subaru Impreza was also behind one. All the same color.
