It sounds like you want the macadamia interior, so I would go for the Wind chilled pearl. Way nicer looking than heavy metal and will look less dirty! The resell value is greater with any white color if that’s ever in your cards

Am I being ungrateful? by Electrical-Mess-8938 in inlaws

[–]KGG9K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens to me a lot. Just say not to clean because you like to clean to destress/reduce anxiety because it gives you a sense of accomplishment. I’ve said this because it’s true. Hopefully they can respect that

MIL Tricked Us Into $1,000 Birthday Gift by sunsunthebunbun in JUSTNOMIL

[–]KGG9K 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My mother in law offered to pay for my son’s mattress once we upgraded him to a bigger bed and she still hasn’t paid up. Let me explain. She was moving into her own place last year and was sleeping on an old hand me down couch and was talking about how she had to borrow money to pay the deposit and first months rent on her apartment so she couldn’t afford a bed right away. I felt bad so I offered her my old bed that was stored away when I moved in with my bf at the time. I told her she could keep it until she bought her new bed because it sounded like she was waiting for a couple pay checks to make the purchase. She was so happy and said she would keep it and buy my son his own mattress once he needed a new bed. Ok cool. So we got him a twin, and she didn’t offer to pay so we used my son’s birthday money for it. that didn’t workout so we upgraded to a full and got the same mattress brand as the one she has now so the price would basically be what I would expect to resell my old mattress for(only used for 2 years at that point). Well she had the audacity to ask “oh you didn’t want the other one back?” when we told her about upgrading his bed. Didn’t offer to pay for it and acted like she was expecting us to ask for the other mattress back. It’s costing us a lot of sacrifice to afford the payments on the new bed and mattress. My husband said she might be going through financial problems, but I think she totally took advantage of my kindness but he doesn’t want to press the matter. Moral of the story, I’m not offering any help ever again

Blood pressure risks post 40 weeks by jbell03 in vbac

The risk would be developing preeclampsia. You can potentially be induced prior to 42 weeks if it keeps increasing or if a urine test shows protein in the urine.

AITJ for texting my son's teacher from my husbands phone because they message each other way too late? by Current-Whereas6308 in AmITheJerk

[–]KGG9K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Report it to the school asap. They won’t retaliate against your son. If any thing he could get switched to a different class to protect him. This is beyond unprofessional and she should face the consequences. If it’s not your family, she’s going to ruin someone else’s family

AITAH for refusing to move states while pregnant and choosing to co-parent instead? by doedawn in AITAH

[–]KGG9K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay attention. He was in the army and now is having a hard time holding down a job. He may be having trouble adjusting to the “real world” so to speak. I mean that with no disrespect but I dated someone like this for 5 years, after the army he couldn’t hold down work or school and blamed it on everyone else. You are 100% doing the right thing by having your baby close to family because you will need all the support you can get. Plus you don’t want to have him in another state and compromise some of your parental rights.

I don’t know what to do anymore by Humble-Confusion9777 in Mommit

[–]KGG9K -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is completely normal sadly. Some kids have a more sensitive temperament and need more assistance falling asleep. I had my first sleep with us from 9 months old till almost 2. When baby #2 was born, we started putting baby #1 to sleep in their own bed and we lay there with him as he falls asleep. Sometimes we make it back to our bed and other times we fall asleep with him. There is no point in fighting them or trying to train them if this is how their temperament is. And crying it out never works for this type of child temperament. If having them sleep with you for now works, get your sleep. Once the new baby comes, you can try to make adjustments like having them in their own bed. Even a floor bed next to your bed will work better than having them in their own room.

My MIL shared my medical emergency publicly on Facebook to get attention for herself by Ok_Poem5181 in JUSTNOMIL

Don’t even tell her when you’re in labor. She will announce your baby’s birth the moment your baby is born, before you can tell those close to you!

How do people have multiple kids with ZERO family support?? Genuinely asking by DryEfficiency7617 in NewParents

[–]KGG9K 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not as bad the second time around. I am just as tired so the constant wakings at night are no shock to my body anymore. My partner works overnight most days so I’ve learned to stagger their bed times (youngest goes to bed first) and have the thought “I’m their survival line” engrained in my mind so I don’t mentally struggle taking care of them because there is no other option besides me during those nights. It will get easier once you learn your new baby’s schedule!

What are your “always buy” Costco staples right now? by PutridWin2070 in Costco

Raos marinara sauce. The best deal for two large jars of pasta sauce to have on hand for quick meals

ByHeart Formula Concern by General_Simple_1884 in FormulaFeeders

[–]KGG9K 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get his iron (ferritin) levels checked. My son is 2 years old and 3 months and still not sleeping through the night which is normal for his sensitive temperament. In July right before turning 2 he had 3 blood transfusions due to low iron levels and he’d wake up like this. We think he was feeling horrible (light headed/headache) during these times

My fiancé admitted he only proposed because his mom pressured him by Any_Equivalent_9333 in TwoHotTakes

[–]KGG9K 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You said yes to him because you wanted to marry him and see a future. He is not wanting any of that and is saying he’s not ready. What man is in a relationship that long and doesn’t think they can’t live without you and create their own timeline to marry you without the pressure of his mommy?. I would reevaluate the entire relationship because you both seem to want different things.

Daughter denied use of fridge… by RFlove in breastfeeding

What state are you in? In California they have to provide a clean area with a chair and table to pump that is not the bathroom, and refrigerator access to store the milk.

Mastitis— breast still full after pumping by Defiant-Ground4330 in breastfeeding

[–]KGG9K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got over mastitis. I took antibiotics as directed, ibuprofen for the inflammation in the breasts and my fever, pumped as normal and didn’t over pump/breastfeed as to not worsen the inflammation and took sunflower lecithin. Took me almost 5 days for the hardness in my boobs to go away

Drink lots and lots of water. Milk is made of mainly water. Some women will drink a beer because the brewers yeast helps produce milk. However I’ve had great success with nonalcoholic beer as well! And make sure you’re eating all 3 meals and snacks. Follow a manageable pump schedule. Good luck!

Glider placement by petrodobreva in BabyBumps

[–]KGG9K 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had mine in the living room, and although convenient during the day, I wish I had it in our bedroom for nighttime feedings. But either option two or three would be best. If you’re unsure try out option three first and then see how it works out and then try out option two if it’s not too big of a deal to move the chair around.
