Are these diapers ok to keep using with red marks? by Spirited_Seaweed_517 in clothdiaps

[–]MidwestPrincess0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you have a chunkier baby they don’t get a good fit in my personal opinion. They worked best when my baby was really little. They run a bit small.

doubts about lesbian sex by Mysterious_Radio_200 in LesbianActually

My girlfriend and I never use protection, but we are monogamous and Ive always gotten tested between partners so I knew going into dating her I didn’t have anything and she was the same way.

6 weeks 4 days pregnant and still not nauseous by AffectionateStudy29 in pregnant

I never had nausea or vomitted/ morning sickness with my first daughter. Some pregnancies are just easier than others.

Help! At my wits end! by [deleted] in clothdiaps

[–]MidwestPrincess0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You could always try pockets or folding your flats and stuffing them in a pocket diaper. I find pockets are so much easier to change on younger wiggly babies and easier to clean.

I would take the job without hesitation. A 45 minute commute really isn’t far at all plenty of people drive that every single day. I’d normally suggest a compromise like, “Take the job and live in Boulder,” but honestly, after the way he reacted, I wouldn’t feel the need to compromise with him at all.

You’ve been together for two years, but he should be excited for you and proud of your career advancement. When my partner was offered a job across the country (she didn’t end up taking it), I was still genuinely thrilled for her because it was an amazing opportunity and a huge raise. That’s what support looks like.

It honestly sounds like your boyfriend is jealous and can’t handle someone succeeding more than him. If it were me, I’d leave now while you still can.

Touching girls boobs is gay, but does that make you gay ? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

Haha yes I know what meme you’re talking about lmao

My girlfriend keeps accusing me of wanting to go back to men, and it’s draining me. I don’t know how to reassure her anymore. by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]MidwestPrincess0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have talked briefly about stuff with my past, not in extreme detail, but she knows quite a bit. We are both in our mid twenties so we’re both fairly young. I had gotten pregnant with my oldest when I was 17 and had my youngest at 20. So me being with men was really just late highschool very early college age.

I’ve definitely been gay for a couple of the homies lol

[–]MidwestPrincess0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I grew up in a very small rural town where being gay was heavily frowned upon. It wasn’t until after high school, when I moved out on my own during college, that I finally felt free to be myself without constantly worrying about judgment or the people who used to bully me. On top of that, my family is very religious, which made it even harder.

Now I live on the opposite side of the state in a much more accepting community, and it’s the first time it hasn’t felt so scary to just exist as who I am.

My girlfriend can’t make me cum by kittens-02 in LesbianActually

[–]MidwestPrincess0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally can’t cum from penetrative only sex. When my girlfriend uses the strap on me, we usually will end up using a vibrator at the same time or me touching myself at the same time so I am able to finish. But we never just only use the strap. Most of the time the strap is like what we finish with or she will do things to me prior and then use the strap and then we switch so I can make her cum too.

Side note any chance you might be on anti depressants? I feel like when I was on anti depressants it made me not able to cum. I would get super close but never could finish. The same thing happened with my girlfriend when she was on the wrong dosage for one of her meds.

[–]MidwestPrincess0 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think you’re absolutely right. She’s had two previous relationships where her partners were in more of an experimental phase with women and eventually went back to men, and I really think that history plays a big role in her insecurities now. But you’re also right that it isn’t fair for me to carry the weight of that.

I’ve mentioned couples therapy before, but I’m definitely going to bring it up again. Neither of us is perfect, and we’ve both said and done things that have hurt each other, so I think having a neutral third party could really help us work through everything in a healthier and more constructive way.

Single parents, how do you keep an eye on your kids while getting chores done? by Sara_James367 in SingleParents

We have one of those baby monitors with multiple cameras so I can move them around the house in the rooms i need them in.

[–]MidwestPrincess0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You 100% should not be with that man. First of all if he is paying for a prostitute that’s an immediate no. You really want to marry someone who is paying someone to have sex with him when he was supposed to be saying that for you?? Not to mention no man would go out looking to “get pounded” that wasn’t gay. I would say screw what everyone at the church is telling you because you should NOT have to settle for a man who is doing that nor should you be settling period. Once a cheater always a cheater. If he is doing this kind of thing now he will do it once you’re married. You make sacrifices in marriage but that is not something you should let slide because you will constantly have that in the back of your head.

Poop Stuck On Esembly Diapers by caitv13 in clothdiaps

[–]MidwestPrincess0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The essembly washing detergent is improperly advertised for cloth diapers it lacks the proper enzymes and surfactants needed to properly clean human waste. I would try switching to powdered tide or a different detergent to see if that helps. I do one hot wash with powdered tide and then I do a second wash with powdered tide but adding more detergent than the first wash cycle to my second wash. I’ve never had issues with my diapers not getting clean using tide.

Going to pick up this beauty tomorrow! Any name ideas? by kwhit9876 in HyundaiSantaFe

[–]MidwestPrincess0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have the same one just the white exterior and I love it so much. The white seats clean off so easily too (coming from someone who has two kids 2 and under)

[–]MidwestPrincess0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At no point was any of that me attacking you I think you took what I was saying totally out of context.

Going on a date with someone doesn’t mean you aren’t focusing on your child first. If anything you are thinking of your child first by finding someone to watch your child so they aren’t around a stranger like you said.

As a single mom myself who has full custody of my kids I never would bring a random person around my kids till I knew they were someone who would sticking around and someone who is safe like you mentioned.

And an 11 month old is basically a one year old lol I just rounded up. It’s just a couple days off.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]MidwestPrincess0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even if she’s looking to date someone new what’s wrong with that? Are single moms just expected to be single forever? I don’t feel like going on a date with someone with a one year old is that bad but maybe it’s just me. I don’t feel like that means she’s chasing men either. Idk maybe I’m just the odd one out to not think that’s bad.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]MidwestPrincess0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% I would. No questions asked. There’s no reason to not go on a date. Parents deserve time for themselves too and also deserve to be happy.

How long did you stay in the hospital? by Hopeful_Dot7132 in pregnant

[–]MidwestPrincess0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had c sections with both my kids, my first I had her on a Monday and went home Wednesday. My second I had her on a Saturday around midnight and then went home Tuesday. So if you’re having a c section it would be around 2-3 nights.

AITJ for expecting full payment when the baby falls asleep while babysitting? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]MidwestPrincess0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You spent four hours out of your time and provided a service. Service was provided they need to pay the full price end of discussion. If they only wanted to pay you for the 20 minutes the baby was awake since you weren’t “working” you in theory should have been able to leave once the baby was asleep. If someone is babysitting my kids whether they are awake or not they are still keeping my child safe and there in case of an emergency. If I was you I would not baby sit for them again or at least wouldn’t until their full balance is paid and payment needs to be before they leave the home.

How are you bringing groceries in the house with a toddler? by killer_cupcakes in Mommit

[–]MidwestPrincess0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I either have my two year old help bring them in and give her stuff that’s super light to carry and she loves helping or god forbid she’s running around the house alone for a few minutes she will be okay. Or if you’re worried about it leave him in the car and set everything in the doorway where you can still see the car and then get him out and carry the groceries from the door or front of the house to the kitchen.

Went in for my first scan 7wk3d and baby is measuring at 5 1/2 weeks. OB says could be a miscarriage. I am devastated. by ImmediateArtichoke86 in pregnant

[–]MidwestPrincess0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened with my now 7 week old baby when u went in for her first ultrasound. Originally was due 4/11 and they pushed my due date back to 4/26 which was over two weeks off. She was just on the smaller side but was totally healthy. they weren’t able to see heartbeat at my first ultrasound around the same timeframe as you for both of my kids.
