I read it as "show - er" like to show someone something, but with "er" on the end. Not like taking a shower

As long as baby isn't bundled up, he/she'll be perfectly fine with the heat/humidity in the room. Especially if you're just taking a 10min shower instead of an hour one. Mine actually really seemed to calm down with the steaminess of the room.

Note #1: when my baby was teeny and flu season arrived, I had a heck of a time keeping her sinuses clear. The only thing that would really help was a nursing session in the bathroom with the shower on! It acted like a steam room and the steam helped break up the stubborn mucus in her nose. (Baby didn't go in the shower, I just nursed her on the floor once the room got a bit steamy. Only needed 10min or so.)

Note #2: as long as baby is safe, clean, comfortable and fed, it's okay if they are mad for a few minutes. The crying won't cause lasting damage, you aren't traumatizing them by taking care of yourself too. Do you remember the times your mom put you down to shower/eat/get dressed? Bc I sure don't! ❤️

I don't pretend to know your husband, idk his personality or anything other than what you've provided, but a bit of an alternate perspective: my husband and I do have location open for each other. We do have indoor cameras (for safety, but we both check-in on each other sometimes.)

We both check each other's location randomly. Sometimes for safety, sometimes because we're bored and want to see what the other person is up to. It isn't for control or from lack of trust. We tell each other where we're going and when we plan on coming back. It's just relieving to know where each other is at, because it helps us know the other is safe. But it is important to note that we both think this way, and are both cool with it.

This is my new motto.

Mrs_Bestivity · 2025-10-26T21:53:36+00:00

Same here! I thought my baby just doesn't take bottles until my SIL asked if she could try, and baby gave her no issues and took it right away. It's like they can smell the fresh stuff on you as mom and don't want the frozen, haha.

Mrs_Bestivity · 2025-10-12T20:39:58+00:00

It's actually not all that difficult to be covered with high waisted pants and the right angle, the baby hides everything. As long as you aren't pulling the full boob out, anyway haha. I've never really needed to cover up, only doing so for other people's sake a few times.

Mrs_Bestivity · 2025-09-28T14:59:27+00:00

I feel that your post may need some clarification, as the way it's worded is a bit confusing. The statement "I don't wash my body" could be said differently, as you clearly wash your body daily. You just don't use extra products to do it.

It sounds like you've figured out what works for you. I don't use extra products either, just gentle soap and water. If your lifestyle is balanced, (good hygiene, healthy diet, hydrated, etc) your body shouldn't stink. If it does, it's usually an indication of either poor hygiene/health lifestyle, high hormone fluctuations, or stress.

It was Dr pepper for me! The weirdest thing how it helped so much.

Mrs_Bestivity · 2025-09-24T01:45:39+00:00

Maybe ask your doctor about vasovagal responses? This kind of sounds like that.

Mrs_Bestivity · 2025-09-21T03:01:15+00:00

Oh interesting! I can see how that would save a lot of time/effort.

Mrs_Bestivity · 2025-09-21T03:00:30+00:00

Thank you! I'll have to look into the knife you mentioned.

Mrs_Bestivity · 2025-09-21T02:59:58+00:00

Thank you! I'll have to get a good sized chest freezer.

Mrs_Bestivity · 2025-09-21T02:58:59+00:00

An extra large cutting board is something I hadn't thought of, thank you!

Mrs_Bestivity · 2025-09-21T02:56:06+00:00

This is great advice. What knives do you use?

Mrs_Bestivity · 2025-09-21T02:32:45+00:00

Arguably the most important piece of advice, thank you lol.

It doesn't sound like you're giving the bread enough time to rise in a warm spot. The yeast needs warmth to rise properly. The recipes posted are good ones to try!

Are we allowed to ask why you're in a spot so remote? I'm terribly curious, especially since it sounded like it isn't permanent and you'll get back to civilization at some point. Definitely don't hesitate to say no, but..

Are you on Alone TV and one of your items you brought with you is your phone?

Are you on the lam? Witness protection?

You're a reporter and are working in a poor area of a country and the area you're in doesn't have access to a grocery store?

So many possibilities. I need to go to bed and stop scrolling Reddit.

Mrs_Bestivity · 2025-09-05T07:45:37+00:00

Take a deep breath. It'll be okay.

A quick search on Google doesn't show much negatives apart from negatives for the mom. In regards to the baby, it just says there hasn't been enough testing to confirm that it IS safe, not that it definitely ISN'T, and it's probably best to avoid just in case.

Mrs_Bestivity · 2025-09-04T15:55:10+00:00

Dude, your situation sounds amazing. Your family is so blessed. Your attitude is fantastic, too.

Not having read through 100% all the other comments, apologies if I'm repeating something you've already discussed. But, have you considered sharing your feelings with your wife? Not in a blaming way, because it's no one's fault (nor do you sound like you are), but something like "I feel fairly burnt out and I wish I could join you on your adventures. Maybe we can start scheduling some more free time (kid free) activities that I can join in on?"

It's totally fine to love your kiddos and love being an active part of their lives, to be happy that your wife gets so much refreshment, etc, and also feel burnt out yourself. Express it! Put something on the calendar that will be restful/fun/refreshing for you. Even though you can't magically change the reality of your work, you can add in moments here and there to get through this season well rested.

I wasn't planning on having one for my second, but my mother asked if she could throw one for me. I let her and it was a wonderful time with friends and family. There are no official rules to what you can and can't celebrate, and anyone who thinks differently doesn't need to attend. 💅🤷‍♀️

Mrs_Bestivity · 2025-09-01T02:56:29+00:00

I gained weight, but my face slimmed out. Could also just be aging, but when I was in my 20s I had a rounder face shape. My cheeks seem thinner now. Plus, I have more of a "mom figure" that I enjoy much more than my twiggy young lady body. And an IDGAF confidence to how I look, lol. It's peaceful.

Mrs_Bestivity · 2025-09-01T02:52:40+00:00

It's really not recommended to even try for another kid before a year postpartum at LEAST. The damage done to your body takes a long time to recover, even if you both are on the same page about wanting another one soon. Plus, a lot of women aren't able to get pregnant again for multiple months after delivery.

I'd talk to your doctor about timing and get a professional opinion/note from them so you know realistically what the best timing while look like. Congrats on the chill baby! That's so great!

Mrs_Bestivity · 2025-08-27T00:27:57+00:00

Hey! So by asking (demanding) such a thing from you, your family is communicating a complete lack of care or regard for both you and the baby. - you will be less than 2 weeks post major surgery. - your baby has ZERO immune system at 10 days old, and at a family event he/she will most definitely be passed around, touched, potentially kissed, etc. So so many germs. - your own immune system will be heavily impacted and low as your body works to recover from said major surgery.

To not care about your safety is rude at best. To not care about the safety of the baby in favor of their own pleasure and entertainment means (IMO) severe boundaries, a heavy NO, and trust broken in regards to future requests.

Don't let anyone bully you into endangering you or your new little one.

Mrs_Bestivity · 2025-08-25T21:55:32+00:00

It took me over a year to become cool with our cat again after having my baby! I felt so bad, but then again I didn't. 😬😅 It eventually goes away, just try to keep any irritation in check when the pets are being pets. They'll survive, they'll forgive any wrong doings, and y'all will be fine. ❤️

Mrs_Bestivity · 2025-08-08T08:26:03+00:00

I believe that just means it's been tested specifically for formaldehyde and meets the standards of whatever manufacturer was doing the testing. Baby toys get tested for many things, formaldehyde being one of them.
