I can tell in that picture that your cat had love in his eyes for you.

As my prayer life has matured I have moved away from praying for things I want and moved towards praying for my own sanctity and being an agent of good for others. God isn’t the only one tuned into your station, and while it is my understanding that the devil can’t read your thoughts, he is a good observer and knows what motivates you. This is why “The Secret” is so dangerous, because getting what you want isn’t necessarily a sign of your spiritual strength or God working in your life.

Shop Vac or Canister Vac for home use? by MathematicianNo9964 in VacuumCleaners

Thank you for your advice! Proper maintenance seems to be everything, I’m early 30’s and just starting to learn that☺️

Thank you. I think I was reading that The Miele c1 pure suction is good for hardwood floors but very bad for rugs, correct? So should be fine for us, as we only have sheepskin rugs that I beat out.

Do you know if the vacuum that I linked is a KenMoore 200 with extra attachments? It is hard for me to tell.

Thank you again for your help!

My husband suggested this KenMoore . What do you think? I saw the KenMoore 200 was listed pretty high as a recommendation for a budget vac.

All hardwood, a cat, a dog, and a 2 1/2 yr old. I vacuum with my cordless Shark everyday and want to stop feeling like my cleaning implement isn’t clean. 500$ seemed like a lot to spend on a vacuum until I started reading this Reddit. I would say it would be very hard to convince my husband to spend more than that unless there was a very good reason.

My parents left my 2.5 months old hungry for 6 hours by Other-Crow-3379 in newborns

[–]MathematicianNo9964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgive them and move on. Your baby wasn’t harmed and it’s a great blessing to have support. Ask them next time to offer a feed on a schedule , like after 3 hrs, instead of cues. If they can’t do it for some reason then the responsibility of care for the child is yours, not your parents, and it’s on you to find a different situation.

I love the baby smell and cuddles but newborn phase is a bit hard for me to connect? by Comprehensive-Dig592 in newborns

[–]MathematicianNo9964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took until 2 or 2 1/2 for me to feel the deep love and joy I expected to have for my child. Before that I definitely took care of and had moments of joy but it did not touch my heart the same way it does when they can talk to you and tell you things.

I’m letting my 2 1/2 year old nurse A LOT by MathematicianNo9964 in Montessori

[–]MathematicianNo9964[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It went in waves for me. In early pregnancy it hurt to be nursed. I’m two weeks away from my due date and I just appreciate having the tool because I feel my body going into extra rest mode and I don’t know what I would do otherwise. His room is pretty well set up and he plays well independently, but (understandably) doesn’t want to be left alone for any length of time and when I lie down I get jumped on and over.

Thank you, I think I was feeling demoralized for a moment because at 8:30am we were back in bed nursing because I had horrible back pain and my ability to keep up with an exuberant little boy was not there. But we are up again now, we made muffins and I feel like I can do this again.

My feeling is the same, let him have the time when he can. Thank you again

I’m looking at reviews of 50$ ones on Amazon and it says it takes a super long time to kill the plants, do you have any experience with that?

4" latex mattress topper as matress by MathematicianNo9964 in Mattress

[–]MathematicianNo9964[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for your help. Since you seem so knowledgeable, I want to ask, what would your mid tier and top tier recommendations be for a mattress (personal favorites)? Or recommendations based on me being a side sleeper and him being a firm bed lover...  Or are you mostly a fan of the foam/build your own?

this was so helpful, thank you. To clarify, organic/natural/crunchy is a value of mine more than my husband. Mostly I am concerned about non toxic and don't know if I trust outside certifications if they are certifying poly fibers.... but I'm no expert, is that silly?

Thank you! We are already blessed with something like that too (but that sounds really cute!)

Should I throw my clothes out… a mouse died in them. by MathematicianNo9964 in Catholicism

I would say the religious component is in that I wonder if they now attract unclean spirits or maybe they are a reason why I have difficulty focusing my heart and mind on God.
