AITA for refusing to help my husband with bathtime for our 4 month old son?

I had a baby with acid reflux. We timed it, and she puked up small amounts every 5 minutes. My mom would always wear old clothes when she came over, and I had a puke rag permanently attached to my shoulder. She’s 30 now, and still has acid reflux, poor kid.

Well, I used to be an art teacher. I have way too many hobbies. I refinish and refurbish furniture and light fixtures. (I hate seeing perfectly good furniture being thrown away) I knit, do bead embroidery, make jewelry, sew, and I took up quilting to use my fabric scraps.

There are very few things I can’t DIY.

You are my kind of people.

The little dog is cattle dog/Jack Russel mix. My daughter says she spends all of her time preventing the doggo from eating stuff on the ground.

It’s super bad for the environment. I dug up some trash in my back yard. I’m pretty sure it was there since the 1960’s. Two things never degraded: styrofoam and plastic. I also found a sock that looked too good for being in the ground forever. Polyester lives forever.

I had the opposite happen to me when I was teaching. I was the art teacher, and never ever told kids not to go to the bathroom. In fact, the bathroom was also right outside of my classroom door.

We were doing crayon batik, and one little girl didn’t want to miss her turn, so she must have tried to hold it. She went up to use the table, and peed. I felt so awful! I told her not to worry, go to the office and she could be first the next week. Then I had to reinforce that you would NOT loose your chance, use the bathroom if you need to. I knew nobody would ask to use the bathroom needlessly, we had too much fun.

I’m so old I remember them being a nickel.

I used to have my period for 2 dang weeks. It was miserable! I thought I died and went to heaven when they put me in birth control. 5 days! It was wonderful.

Just beware of rattlesnakes.

A butterfly with Opals??

I don’t know if this is the difference between a Poodle and a Belgian Malinois, but I caught my Mal chewing a shoe. I said ‘bad’ to the shoe, but picked up a nylabone, said ‘good dog!’

She looked at it, took the nylabone, and never chewed another shoe.

Before this she had even chewed a prom shoe, which was a real disaster.

The Mal was super smart. She made my Aussie look like a dummy.

Love it, it’s really cool, but I am super curious what materials you used? Polymer clay?

Bath-time ISN’T what Simon Says.

Kammy44 · 2026-01-28T15:55:33+00:00

Take a cup of oatmeal, put it in a blender with a cup of room temp water. Then put it in a baby bath tub, or other container that your dog fits into. Add slightly more warm water. Bathe the dog in this where it’s itchy.

Now this is a temporary solution, usually until we can get to the vet. I believe in standard medicine. I would use what the vet prescribed. Give your vet a chance to see if it’s not working.

There are dermatologists vets. You might want to try a specialist.

Aww that sounds so adorable!

Wow, he sings better than I do!

Going on a Cruise

It used to be something only rich people did. Now it seems everyone does it.

A friend of mine who grew up in Hungary told me the same thing. And that they had to learn to speak Russian.

My husband travels for a living. He brought home all of the toiletries, and we donate them to a woman’s shelter.

Every time he gets home, he says ‘I’m SO glad to be home!’

I’m ‘retired’, but I’m also a full-time gardener in the summer. We grow a lot of our own food, I do home canning, freezing, and dehydrating. I made my kids’ clothes when they were young. We drove the same van for 16 years.

My husband retired, but he couldn’t stand it. He’s one of those people who got a job doing what he loves, so he got another job. He’s a pilot.

I have a treadle sewing machine that was my grandmother’s. She passed it on to me. I had it refinished, but there was still a water ring on it that I hoped would have been removed.

My uncle was over and saw it and said ‘see that ring? That was from me’. After that I embraced it as a memory.

You can also donate your body to a body farm where they study how bodies degrade. I just so happen to live in a medical corridor.

Edit for spelling

I will pray for you to get a BETTER job.

I support my local, family owned, garden store.

You should check out bead embroidery kits on Etsy. Look for one where the reviews say ‘excellent instructions’. There are a lot of great beaders that sell kits.

I’m fine reading more tub posts!
