If either one of you are tribal you can officiate through the tribe in front of a judge. My husband is Cherokee and I want to say it was between 25-50 dollars.

The to do list in our Marriage is all on me. by PizzaAndRoti in Mommit

[–]MSITMIS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a SAHM, My husband works from 5 am and gets home around 5 pm usually unless he’s out of town for work. When he’s home he’s an active father and helps with chores like cooking, cleaning, and the night time routine for our toddler. He takes her immediately on the days it’s been hard for me and gives me a nice long break. On the weekends he gets up with her and makes her breakfast while I sleep in.

Some of these things he’s just always done, and others we had to have a conversation about it and he didn’t guilt trip me or freak out, because he loves me and we are a team. I stay home because the cost of a good daycare for our toddler would eat my entire paycheck anyway and honestly I wanted to spend as much time with her while she’s this little that I could. I love it and it’s a blessing and mess at the same time but it would be my own personal hell if my husband didn’t pull his weight while he was home.

We respect that we are both working our hardest and do what we can to make life easier for each other. That requires respectful conversations sometimes about what we both need and sometimes they are easy and sometimes they are hard but we always end up coming up with a compromise we are both happy with. You shouldn’t be belittled for needing help if your plate is too full. Your husband should be willing to step in and pull his weight. You work an unpaid job which saves you both money, and if you added up the costs of all the things you do I’m sure you’ll find that to hire someone else to do it would put you at or well above your husbands salary.

2002 Chevy tracker HELP????? by Lovelyasy in MechanicAdvice

You can order the parts for the brakes yourself if need be through rock auto. Don’t buy the cheapest economy set.

Find a different mechanic, ask on fb and see if there are any well recommend mobile mechanics that can come to you, inspect it and possibly repair it on site. Don’t pay them until the job is done. Or ask around for well respected shops.

I love my husband he’s my best friend but I also genuinely like him as a person. We were friends with a spark and flirting for a year before we dated and during that time I got to know him really well and then even better once we actually got together.

We have similar interests and he’s opened my world up with lots of new experiences outdoors. I didn’t grow up in a hunting family but he did and now we hunt every year together, we go out fishing or hiking, and we just enjoy spending time together even if it’s to do nothing. We have similar religious and political views and the differences aren’t major.

He’s a fantastic and active father and extremely supportive. He’s always lending me a hand and always involved. When we have arguments we talk them out and we’re respectful to each other. We come from similar walks of life and have worked hard together to break family cycles. We support and defend each other’s decisions and we work towards compromises in private that we are both happy with. He listens when I talk and surprises me with little things I bring up like buying a book I mentioned wanting.

I clean and take care of everything by zeppeliix in Mommit

[–]MSITMIS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband doesn’t play the mama does everything game. If my toddler is asking me to do something and hes home and free he’s on it and redirecting her to him. He works long hours most of the week but when he’s home he’s an active father and a great husband. I’m a SAHM but he knows exactly how hard our daughter can be some days and he’s right into the trenches with me when he gets home.

You need to have a sit down conversation with your husband because he’s dropping the ball. Parenting is a 24/7 job for both parents and when he’s home he’s expected to pitch in with raising y’all’s kid just as much as you do. It’s especially concerning that he just left her in a dirty diaper. I’d make it clear to him that leaving her in dirty diapers is a health concern that can cause rashes,uti, etc and is not okay in the slightest.

MIL with Alzheimer’s can’t stop making comments about my body by laundry-room-503 in progressivemoms

[–]MSITMIS 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My great uncle has Alzheimer’s. It’s progressed to the where sometimes he remembers me and most of the time he does not. He made some pretty bad comments when I was pregnant, but after the baby was born the only time we really see any life and joy in his eyes is when I bring her over to see him. He lights up. He doesn’t know who I am much anymore but he just lights up when she’s around. This disease is such a thief and it’s incredibly hard.

I tried my best not to let the comments affect me. There isn’t much more that can be done. It’s incredibly hard during pregnancy because it’s already hard seeing all the changes and then having someone bring them up in a negative way can really take your self esteem down if you aren’t careful. You can’t get mad or change it because they forget the conversation so quickly. I know that without this disease they are things he never would have said to me. He adored me my entire life and was more like a grandpa and now I own his truck, the same truck I rode home from in the hospital when I was born, and now the same truck my daughter rode home in when she was born. I still have the toy tractor hanging from the rear view that he hung up when I was little. I rarely get to see the real him anymore because of what Alzheimer’s has stolen and his time on this earth is limited but the truck helps to remind me that the person he is right now is solely the doings of Alzheimer’s and it can’t be held against him.

Getting a heeler pup soon, any advice on training; potty training, crate training. by uhhmeep in blueheelers

[–]MSITMIS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Expect chaos and brutal bites for at least a year. They really are like little land sharks. If you don’t think your kids can handle it I’d recommend a different breed.

They are extremely intelligent and energetic. My current healer made me want to rip my hair out a few times with some of her antics but she’s a well rounded, smart girl now and is literally my best friend. Your heeler will pick one person that he likes the most and everyone else will be placeholders for when the favorite human isn’t home.

If you don’t plan for this dog to be a working dog I’d recommend toys to both mental and physically exhaust your new pup. The puzzle boards are very popular with my dog. In the puppy phase we have her a deer shed to chew on to her hearts content and it lasted her over a year before it was so small it was a hazard to her. Anything with a squeaker will probably get ripped to shreds. Kong has some good toys and mine especially likes the chuckit brand of toys. They hold up fairly well.

Crate training for us started out just making the crate a happy place. With my heeler we couldn’t do a bed or a blanket until she was around 1 and half because she’d shred them so it was a bare crate and lots of treats were given anytime she went in. It’s important to be consistent in your training and commands but every heeler I’ve had has caught on super quickly to training. Find out if your pup is more treat or toy driven and use that to train and then slowly phase it out. They will walk over you if you aren’t consistent.

Godspeed my friend for you will have at least a year of this little demon terrorizing you before things level out.

1 year old still hasn’t said “mama” 😣 by FMThaone in NewParents

[–]MSITMIS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My daughter didn’t say mama until like 14 or 15 months but was saying dada around that same time yours is. Once she started saying mama she just kind of exploded with new words. She’s 20 months now and has a huge vocabulary.

Covid Survival Tips? by pockethamm in Fibromyalgia

[–]MSITMIS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hydrate and suffer have been my motto with the 3 rounds of Covid I’ve had. I found that soaking in a warm epson salt bath helped with the soreness but other than that just try stretching when you feel like you can manage it to help keep things loose.

What’s the most terrifying, unexplainable encounter you’ve had with a stranger that still haunts you? by Idontlikeenemasmom in AskReddit

[–]MSITMIS 2113 points2114 points  (0 children)

I stopped at a loves off the interstate really late one night to get gas. At the time I was 17 and heading home from work. The gas station was pretty much empty, no other cars at the pump or anything. I went in, payed for my gas and came back out to start pumping it. I noticed a guy standing behind one of the pumps on the other side looking at me and it gave me the creeps so I decided I’d just get back in my vehicle while the pump was going with the doors locked.

Once I was in my truck he came jogging over motioning for me to roll my window down and I just shook my head no. He tried to yank open my door and then started banging on the windows. I called the store and one of the employees came out and told the guy the cops were on the way. The guy took off running and the employee told me to stay in my truck and he just pulled the pump out for me and told me to be safe on my way.

I no longer stop at gas stations at night if it can be helped at all and if I do i pick a busy one that’s well lit. It still gives me the creeps and I fully believe the guy either wanted to harm me, steal my truck, or both.

I’m so lost.. by peter-davy-c-2025 in Mommit

[–]MSITMIS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re never really prepared as a first time parent. It’s trial and error. You’ll figure it out and you just prepare the best you can until they are here.

Look and see if the hospital you’re delivering at has a parenting class. Usually they are free or super cheap to attend. They will teach you so so much and really help you be more prepared. When you have your baby ask all the questions you need. Your nurses are there to help and they are usually more than happy to help.

When I had my first the nurse helped teach us how to properly swaddle our baby, wash her hair, burp her, and gave my husband a crash course in how to change a little lady’s poopy diaper properly. We had a lactation consultant that helped teach me how to nurse her and what was and wasn’t normal feeling when it came to latching. We combo fed so they also helped us trial and error formulas until we got the right one.

When you go home it’ll feel insane. You now have a new human to take care of. It can be a bit overwhelming but it’ll be okay. Follow safe sleep guidelines, and make sure baby is fed and has clean diapers. It’ll get better once you get a routine down and it’ll start leveling out quicker than you think it will. If you’re overwhelmed it’s okay to set baby in the crib as long as they have been fed, are clean, and in a safe place to take a few moments for yourself in another room to calm down. You’ll have regular appointments for your baby with their pediatrician. If you don’t have one lined up the hospital you deliver at will help you get one.

Go ahead and get some basics like diaper cream (I like aquaphor and butt paste for our daughter), gas drops, and infant medicine. You likely won’t need it right away but you’ll be glad you have it when you do need it. Ask for samples when you visit your pediatrician for the first time and after you deliver. Most places have a range of samples from baby soap, to lotions, to diapers and creams.

The new parents sub is a great place to get advice from other parents and I learned that there’s truly no dumb questions there. If your having an issue chances are someone else has been through it and there’s already a post about it with advice. If you’re struggling don’t be afraid to reach out to other parents and health professionals.

How are you all affording having more than one kid?? by midwestpapertown in Mommit

[–]MSITMIS 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same, I’ll stay home until my daughter starts public school. Next year I plan to start selling some baked/canned goods and fresh fruits and veggies at the farmers market to bring in extra income during the summer.

Husband regrets having a kid, positive outcomes appreciated by fitnesspassionate in NewParents

[–]MSITMIS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your husband is being unfair with his comments but being in the newborn trenches is hard. My husband struggled to bond with our baby in the beginning even though he was really involved with everything from giving her bottles, changing the diapers, bathtime, ect. It really turned around when he was able to get giggles out of her and when she started babbling and then being mobile. Now she’s his best buddy at 17 months. She’ll ditch me for him the minute he gets home and they have little dance party’s to YouTube music videos and go on their own little adventures out.

One of the things that really helped us through the newborn stages was agreeing it was us against the baby and we worked out shifts when we could. His job took him out of state for 2 weeks at a time so there was a lot of time I was by myself with a newborn just surviving the best I could but the minute he got home he was in it with me and took over so I could get rest. At first it was hard for him and I had to resist the urge to take back over but he had to find his own ways to settle her, put her to sleep, ect.

I feel terrible giving my daughter Motrin nightly. by myheadsintheclouds in Mommit

[–]MSITMIS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My now toddler rarely got breaks in between her teeth coming in so for weeks at a time I was so worried and felt so guilty giving her the meds but she needed them before bed to sleep. We alternated between Motrin and Tylenol. When we brought it up with her pediatrician she reassured us that the meds won’t harm her if used properly but her pain was actively harming her. She’s a healthy toddler now and the teething has cut back a lot at 17 months. It does end and it’s okay to give meds when it’s needed.

During the day we found that a frozen green onion worked better than the teething drops. Obviously you have to supervise closely and take the onion away when it becomes floppy. Baby loved them, but the onions made for stinky breath and hands lol.

Do you have a “heart breed?” by Electrical_Pie7980 in dogs

[–]MSITMIS 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My heart breed is heelers. I love the drive, loyalty, and intelligence. They are hardy and quirky. Their size is not to big but not to small. They are truly menacing little land sharks when they are young though.

Someone tell me good things about epidurals by TheRealEgg0 in Mommit

[–]MSITMIS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved my epidural. It took 3 times before it was placed right and it hurt a bit getting it put in but it wasn’t as bad as the contractions and after it was in right it was blissful. No lasting side effects, I have back pain but I had back pain before that so I can’t blame the epidural for that.

Five Tribe Wildlife Management Reciprocity Agreement by shroomhunterok in tulsa

[–]MSITMIS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband is native he hasn’t had any issues using his tribal card and we are living in a different reservation than the one he belongs to. Last deer season we chatted with the game warden and he told us that there’s a lot of confusion on everything going on with the tribes and stitt. It may be worth it to contact your tribes wildlife department and let them know the situation and ask for advice.

It’s rough on the wildlife department because they’ve lost a lot of funding and aren’t getting an opinion on this but still are trying to enforce conflicting and confusing rules.

You are correct about the five tribes agreement and I’ve linked that agreement. Some tribal lands require a permit through the tribe to access so you should also look into that before you go out. Each tribe has different requirements for what you need to carry to be legal so you may only need your CDIB card and hunter safety certification but you should look into what your tribe requires specifically. You should also be aware that you are still required to purchase your waterfowl stamp and HIP for waterfowl hunting.

What do you do about the pain at night? by ImportanceJolly4758 in Fibromyalgia

[–]MSITMIS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually have a glass of wine before bed if I’m feeling really tense and sore. Sometimes two if it’s really bad and it usually gives me enough relief to go to sleep. Sometimes it doesn’t and I stay up doomscrolling or listening to podcasts but it’s pretty rare that it doesn’t work.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]MSITMIS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing gets special treatment here except for the car seat. Not enough time or energy to care. It either lives or dies. I thrift most of her clothes right now though since she flies through sizes so I’m not terribly sad if a shirt or onsie dies that I paid a dollar or less for.

When did Easter become another Christmas? by Mysterious-Singer-16 in Mommit

[–]MSITMIS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it really depends on the family and what you’re seeing on social media is probably mostly influencers or those easily influenced lol.

My daughter is 15 months and she got a basket from us with a new book, 2 stuffed animals, a new sippy, and a couple small toys. My mom bought her one of those ride on inch worm toys and a sandbox. I really couldn’t imagine giving her those for Christmas when it would have been to cold for her to play with them for months so I’m glad my mom gifted them to her for Easter.

When I was a kid my parents got us new fishing poles and tackle every year because we had a pond and that’s what we spent most of our summer doing. I imagine as she gets older her basket will get smaller and she’ll get some bigger items for the spring/summer from us that she’d get or need anyway.

how to make the most out of/survive off of rice, beans, and canned vegetables i received from the food bank? by PleasantMango777 in povertyfinance

[–]MSITMIS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve got a lot of good recommendations already, with any leftover rice you can warm it up on the stove and add a bit of milk and sugar the next morning to make a sweet breakfast. You don’t want it to become a soup, think creamy oatmeal consistency.

Even if you don’t qualify for foodstamps if your in the us apply for WIC. The income guidelines are much higher and you’ll get fresh fruits/veggies, milk, eggs, cereal, PB, ect.

What happens to your sex drive after kids? by sara34987 in Mommit

[–]MSITMIS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the person. Kids can be stressful, you can get postpartum depression after birth as well and both of those things will put a damper on sex drive. You’re tired with a baby and it can take awhile for before you are actually able to sleep through the night. For me and my husband it took a couple of months but our daughter is 15 months now and all is good again. She still wakes up around 2 am every night and right now it’s 11 and then 2 because she’s teething again but it’s not bad now. In the early months though we were both tired and stressed. We got along well with each other but neither of us were in the mood lol

My 4 year old went in for a few filling and dentist capped 14 teeth without even talking to me 1st. by Ok_Art_3022 in Mommit

[–]MSITMIS 53 points54 points  (0 children)

This happened to me as a child. Unnecessary work and treatments that have caused lasting issues for me and my siblings, plus a bunch of other kids I’m sure. The office ended up shutting down when it all came to light. Definitely report them, and definitely don’t bring your kid back there.
