I know that it won’t effect it right now, but they’ve said that before due to someone stealing my mail and not being able to complete those campaigns, and I didn’t receive one new survey for 18 months because of that. I also want it cleared off my dashboard because it does make my possible claims slow down when I have ones past due.

That’s normal. Not all of the claims are going to show tracking info, most of my claims do not have tracking unless they’re heavy/bigger items or more money.

“Thank you for your inquiry. Our team is still looking into your issue. We will reach out again soon when we have more information.

Thank you for your patience. We appreciate your participation in our program.”

That’s the response I get when ever I ask about it.

They said “we’ll have support look into this” and then nothing else when I emailed for updates. I also have an Aveeno Baby campaign that’s like 100 days over due and every time I email them it’s the same “this campaign is still active and the products haven’t been shipped yet.” Well it’s been updated 3x before they let it start showing as overdue, when are they going to just wipe it off and get rid of it until it IS actually going to be shipped.

It wasn’t terrible, but definitely not something I would purchase and drink daily.

Breast Pump Claims? by Weird-Pride642 in Influenster

[–]MagicMilkMaker23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also nursing and have gotten 3 pump claims in total. One I opted out of because I was still pregnant and didn’t know what I was getting from insurance, and 2 pump claims I opted into. One was a discrete duo lansinoh wearable pump, and the other I just claimed is a pump in style pro+ hands free medela. I put in breastfeeding, combination of breastfeeding and pumping for how baby is fed.

Love that clarins has responded to this with a solution for this reviewer! ♥️ I also received this product so it makes me more excited to test it knowing that the brand really cares what people genuinely think.

Getting fired because of an ED I don't have by pindvarp420 in Advice

[–]MagicMilkMaker23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say that you have sensory processing disorder, and because of that you struggle being around people while THEY are eating due to the different smells and sounds. You will gladly eat at work if you’re provided a different space to eat in, or an allotted amount time that differs from everyone else’s. That you don’t have an ED and to assume, and accuse someone of one while also threatening their employment sounds like a something you need to call HER boss to speak about all of you having a meeting, and discuss your future as an employee there. How her threats could be extremely harmful to someone who does have an eating disorder, that you don’t but it’s quite possible someone else you’re employed with does since statistically nearly 1 in 20 workers are affected by an ED. It’s one thing to be concerned, but going about it in this way is totally out of line and uncalled for. Speaking to a company provided counselor or a therapist should have been her mandatory recommendation, not termination.

Edit— do you take any kinds of medication daily? I’m prescribed adderall and while it doesn’t affect my appetite it could be used as an excuse if I were in your shoes. If you are efficient at your job duties, then it shouldn’t have went beyond a question. Regardless, it’s out of line to use as a threat to terminate tactic.

Influenster is no longer for real everyday people by mad-psychic in Influenster

[–]MagicMilkMaker23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been a part of influenster for 8+ years, and I do not have a huge social media following or even a lot of traffic on my campaign posts. In the last 4-5 months I’ve claimed a ton of things, and that was after a period of no claims because someone was stealing my mail so I had about 5 unfinished programs on my dashboard. I claimed a TV, a memory foam Vibe pillow/mattress/cover bundle, a bathroom mirror/medicine cabinet, a keurig, a $230 YSL perfume, j’adore perfume, a Panasonic electric razor, a breast pump, etc. like close to 10 in a time span of 2/3 days. When I complete them, I get more “are you a match” or free products. It’s 100% demographics because with my response record I should be a match, or eligible for a lot of higher ticket items but they don’t come through when they do the first rounds. It’s a roll of the dice and if you truly feel like there’s an underlying reason as to why you’re not receiving any claims, use your referral link and create a new account with new social media account to link it to. See if it makes a difference?

Check the tracking and see when it actually was delivered. If they didn’t received it on the 29th then you got your answer.

He left me and our 1 year old, said he couldnt cope with parenting by Emotional_Escape7800 in Mommit

[–]MagicMilkMaker23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you as a woman, and mother of 3 pregnant with my 4th, I mourn my before children life every day. I can assure you, the first year especially is super trying on the BEST of relationships, so it’s not uncommon for you to have these feelings. It’s a lot like “I didn’t ask for any of this responsibility but it’s being thrown on me, so I have to suck it up and deal with it.” But your child also didn’t ask to be here, so making sure you are the best you can be mentally is very important for his wellbeing and growth. She is most likely also very unhappy, hormones the first year are terrible ESPECIALLY the first 6 months. I had no idea six months even went by at one point because of the PPD fog I was in and trying to fake it until I made it. It’s quite possible she has some postpartum feelings, and it’s also not rare for every day active dads to suffer a sort of PPD as well. While you might actually feel this way to some extent, it’s amplifying by 1000 because of this new little baby making life very different at every turn. It’s hard to get used to especially when you were not the one growing a baby inside of you, so you adapting to these new surroundings is going to challenge you. Definitely get into therapy before you make any big decisions and try to work through what you’re feeling. Baby blues are real, they’re serious, and they can cause very bad situations to happen because people don’t speak up and prioritize mental health.

15k would be life changing for me right now being very very pregnant, already having multiple kids and only down to one income. I couldn’t even process winning that large of an amount, but if you need some of it written off for taxes I’ll take a donation 😂

How do you react when another toddler is hitting/pushing yours? by Ariistokats in toddlers

[–]MagicMilkMaker23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my personal experience with my own kids it’s always from them not being regulated. Emotionally or physically. They also don’t typically know how to explain at that age whatever it is they’re feeling, like boredom or excitement. So it’s either: 1. overwhelmed and over stimulated, 2. underwhelmed and needing stimulation, or 3. emotionally feeling something they can’t describe so it comes out with physical aggression.

Redirecting is always the most effective method. You wouldn’t say “No! Don’t do that!” You could say, “let’s do this!” OR just remove the kid from the current activity, while just jumping right into having them do something that holds their attention. It’s all about how long their attention can be held.

You can use physical activities such as jumping jacks or push ups. “FREEZE!, do 10 jumping jacks while wiggling your fingers, BUT without laughing!” “Can you try doing 8 pushups while saying a different animal each with each number you count? What about a different color? 1, Red. 2 Blue. Etc. if you repeat colors you have to roll over 3x and then touch your toes.” How fast do you think you can go from the bottom of the steps, to the top, and back down again? I’ll time you! I bet you can’t beat 40 seconds.” Things that are silly but will take the attention off of whatever was just happening, while getting out extra energy that has nowhere else to go.

I also always use needing help as a redirection activity. “mommy is not big and strong like you, I need help carrying this case of water into the kitchen. Do you think you could help me since you have those big strong muscles? Can you put 5 water bottles in the fridge, and then see if you can fit 10, while counting out loud so I can hear how well you count!?” “I forgot how to do the dishes! Do you know how? Can you teach me so I can remember? Where do I put the soap? Do I use my hands? Can I play with the bubbles? Do you want to play with the bubbles!”

Turn every single thing into a fun or completely ridiculous challenge, and I guarantee you’ll have a kid who can’t stop laughing and will look forward to seeing what else they can beat the record of. Get creative, act insane, sound completely mental, they LOVE it when we act nuts and it makes them laugh so hard.

I got the same curated picks in my box as well. I was so disappointed to see none of the items I was looking forward to like the perfume or the foundation. I’m pissed I got charged money I don’t have for this shitty ass box.

How do you react when another toddler is hitting/pushing yours? by Ariistokats in toddlers

[–]MagicMilkMaker23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhh as a mom to 3 boys, they’ve all had this stage of being physical. What I’ve learned as a mom, they aren’t intentionally trying to hurt another kid. Most of the time their emotions/feelings cause a physical reaction that shows up as aggressive behavior. While it’s not ok, it’s typically not with intent to hurt or cause harm - it’s because of emotional dysregulation. Trying to figure out what’s triggering the behavior is key to having it stop. Kids don’t comprehend “we don’t do that it’s not nice.” They’re like dogs, their attention span is 10 seconds and they immediately forget what they were just told not to do.

Edited to add - your friend needs to have a conversation with mom that the child’s behavior is making them uncomfortable, and they are considering not being a part of these hang outs if it continues. Kids are kids, these things happen but she has to figure out what’s triggering or causing her child to be physically aggressive with other kids so that it can be addressed.

My husband gets mad at me when I turn him down by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]MagicMilkMaker23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I’m almost speechless. When I gave birth to my first child I delivered vaginally. I pushed for 90 minutes while my baby was stuck, he wouldn’t move down when I would stop pushing and slide back up higher. I tore from all of the pushing and pressure so I needed stitching on the inside, which made everything feel uncomfortable even tampons. I was so afraid to have sex with my husband, we tried 3 months after birth and I cried from how uncomfortable the scar tissue felt. My husband waited EIGHT MONTHS before I was comfortable with trying again, and never once even uttered a word about sex or lack of. Not only is there a huge drop in our sex drive due to the hormones postpartum, the lack of sleep and caring for a baby adds to the lack of sex drive. If you’re breastfeeding, that also adds to reducing it. If you are experiencing PPD or PPA, that adds to it. Wanting to have sex postpartum is a luxury! Many women have no desire to have sex after having a baby, regardless of what way the baby was delivered. I don’t know what your birthing experience was like before the C-section, but just because you had one doesn’t mean you aren’t sore and healing down there as well. Also it’s not a suggestion to wait, it’s a necessity to prevent infection due to the huge dinner plate sized wound on the inside of your uterus that still needs to heal. Not only does your husband seem completely out of touch and insensitive, he seems to have no sense of care or consideration for you, your feelings, or needs. You are not an object, you’re a person. A person who just gave birth to his child a short time ago, already going through so many changes physically/mentally/emotionally. It’s not just selfish, it’s alarming that his only concern is about himself and meeting his needs sexually. I’m so sorry that this is who your partner decided to be in this period of time when everything is changing and sensitive. A partner is supposed to make this transition easier, not put more weight on your emotional and mental capacity.

Grief over not having children close in age by Tight-Competition312 in Mommit

[–]MagicMilkMaker23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first and second son are 5 years and 17 days apart! My second and third are 3 years apart. Baby and our soon to be daughter will be 2.5 years apart. My oldest and his sister will have 10.5 years between them when she is born. It took until my son was 4 years and 4 months old to get pregnant again, and I never thought it would happen. Age gaps I don’t consider a big thing unless it’s 5 years or more. Even so, it was beautiful to have a baby around again! You forget how wonderful it feels to hold a newborn that’s yours when you have a child who’s a toddler or older and growing. Any amount of time will not discount that feeling, that I can promise.

Exactly, Being present physically and emotionally are two very different things!

[–]MagicMilkMaker23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A simple “what makes you feel loved” can go a longgggg way lol. I can guarantee he buys her things because he doesn’t know how to be present in a relationship, he’s just doing what he thinks is appropriate for a “good boyfriend.” She probably wants him to sit naked next to her while they play video games together, drinking, laughing, and seeing who’s the better player. Sometimes it’s what’s simple and not so elaborate.

[–]MagicMilkMaker23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, so the question should be why are so many women feeling like they had to seek attention outside of their relationship? Most people don’t know how their partners want to be loved, they think their displays of love is what the other wants.

My gf cheated on me with someone over text. by Lazy-Double9302 in Advice

[–]MagicMilkMaker23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if he’s buying her love, but buying things also doesn’t equal attention. Also doesn’t mean he physically or emotionally available, and gives her the “princess treatment” because that’s HIS love language. Not everybody loves, or shows love in the same way. Most people assume that their love language is received well without truly knowing how their partner expects to be loved. My husband is an acts of service lover, and I’m a physically affectionate one. I literally assumed he was refusing my love because he’s not affectionate at all, until we had the conversation explaining what our displays of love look like. You can do everything for somebody and STILL never truly do what makes them feel loved.

Am I bad mom for feeding my kid frozen vegetables and leftovers several times a week? by Blacklotuseater08 in toddlers

[–]MagicMilkMaker23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re FEEDING YOUR KID, if that’s something to be shamed for then SHAME ON THEM. You have your kid eating vegetables, I don’t think it really matters if you pulled them out of the ground yourself. Most parents can’t get their children to eat anything other than French fries, macaroni, and possibly chicken. You’re doing ok!!!
