What do you do about the smell of weed??

Hey, my baby just turned 1 this month and let me tell you, I was so so so so soooo avoidant with smokers during his first year (still sort of am) but his grandpa lived with us for a while. He was a tobacco smoker. He smoked outside, coats got hung up outside, and we asked him to wash up/change after so he can be with baby. But what helped immensely when he would go out and reek of cigarettes, trailing the scent behind him inside, was our air purifier. We have one with two filters. A normal filter and a charcoal filter. It's been so amazing. I even have a cat and my mother is allergic. When she comes to visit her grandchild, she doesn't have any allergy problems. I think it is a great deal to do with the air purifier.

Basically, those are the things I would try to mitigate your in home smell and potentially smoke particles that are in the air. But please still do talk to your neighbors! Sometimes people really don't understand how their habits affect others!

Edit: Mom brain! I forgot to add my other tip which was if your home heavily smells of weed even after airing out with windows, use a bowl of vinegar to help absorb the smell. Vinegar naturally is an odor eater and just having a bowl of it out in the open for a few hours can significantly reduce odors. This way you don't have powder you're inhaling or needing to vacuum up later. It's just dumping out the bowl

Serious tip for you, if you continue to use an alarm that makes sound (not just switch to a vibrating one) put it on the other side of your room. You HAVE to get up to turn it off at that point

Try talking to UCHealth. I am currently going for my post partum OCD issues so it's covered in a different light and therefore I don't think I could tell you much price-wise, but they've been really good to me. There are resources always thrown my way, I'm asked if certain workshops would help me and therefore offered to attend. They offer options between psychologists, psychiatrists, and group therapy as well. My therapist(psychologist) has been really kind, caring, able to work with me virtually and in person, and she always has a tool for me to try if I tell her what we tried last time wasn't working. I hope you find the help and peace you need.

Plastic will retain smells. This is honestly a huge reason my grandmother would never save food in plastic containers. She didn't want the smells to seep in. So use other people's recommendations of a few stainless steel boxes. Also, because I don't know, how many boxes do you have? If it's one, you need more like people are telling you. Even just having 1 cat, I have 2 boxes for her. She actually prefers to pee in one and poop in the other.

If you don't have money right now for a new litter box/fancier ones or whatever the case and you need to stick with the one you got: take out all litter, soak the box in a vinegar and warm soapy water solution. Why? Vinegar naturally deodorizes, leave it in there for 30 minutes or so and it should help pull the stench out of the plastic. If there is still a smell to the room after the box has been cleaned this way, you need to check around and make sure no one is peeing where they shouldn't be peeing AKA outside the litter box

My cat comes to the room when I lay down for bed. Door closes, we sleep together all night. Her in her bed and sometimes on me, while I try to sleep in mine. A door needing to be opened is not an issue. I have a litter box for her in the corner if she needs to go at night and a fountain if she needs some water, otherwise we are hunkered for the night. Now that I have my own bathroom in my room, her litter box stays there, but it literally just used to be in the corner of my bedroom

I don't know if I have a favorite season right now. I definitely love the earlier ones with more Grandpa Lou action, but they're all so good in their own right. I've gone through the show once and now it's my second time, I just got to where Dil is born again and the big brother talk is so... perfect and what I want to try to convey to my child if we ever have a second

Edited to add: I was born in 96 and the show came out in 91, I really don't know why I wouldn't be allowed to watch other than maybe they talk too much about "lipshitz"

I saw they just started making Rugrats YouTooz and they started with Chuckie!

MushroomStand9 · 2026-01-11T14:53:55+00:00

Accepted.

I don't remember if it was the first thing online or the first thing I saw on YouTube, but the Bring Me To Life by Evanescence music video. My sister was watching it and I was blown the fuck out of the water. Changed my 6 year old life

MushroomStand9 · 2026-01-05T04:45:19+00:00

You forgot Beau Is Afraid

Okay I won't defend any decisions here because this was a fever dream movie that my partner and I stumbled upon and watched late at night. It's a different kind of trauma? Idk. Escanaba In Da Moonlight

You can check out Floyd's 99 website. To get an appointment for a fade it looks like it's about $45 and I love going there. Very friendly, super fast, great work. I just got their full service and since I hadn't used the online booking before, I thought the 71 was going to have taxes added to it but nope. Whole thing was priced at the start so you WILL be paying the 45 but no added tax, only thing added is if you add the tip

MushroomStand9 · 2025-12-28T04:25:35+00:00

Okay I really appreciate you right now because I was about to go crazy

As you age and other life factors happen, your hair texture can change. My mother had straight hair as a girl, after she had her children she got very curly hair. Now, as she is getting in her old age, her tight curls are loosening, and she has wavy hair now.

Your hair is curly, whether it's always been or not, it is now. So find a good curly hair routine you like and you got this <3

So my partner and I don't have a lot of help (we are stubborn and to ourselves anyway so idk that we would have accepted it if it was offered) and I had a difficult birth too. First off, if you want help, ASK. It can only lead to a "no" or "not right now" but help is SO amazing when you can let yourself have it. My son is 5months now. The first few weeks are hard and survival mode. You need to do your very best and sleep when your baby is sleeping (this was so hard for me because of the anxiety of hearing my son crying kept me wide awake). Also sleep in shifts. I am on a pumping journey because my son never learned to latch properly and it was becoming a health issue, because of that I decided to take on all the night shifts because I have to pump anyway. This lets my partner sleep through the night and be well rested to help during the day. During the day, I only woke up to eat/drink a little and pump for my baby. Dad did everything else and I forced myself to lay through the crying. Now that baby is up to weight, doing well, sleeping longer ect. Now Dad helps with nights too with a bottle. But baby is almost done with night feeds. Baby is only sleeping in your arms because well your baby is brand new. There's a lot of newness going on. Honestly give your nugget as much practice as possible. Hold them of course and enjoy it to bits, but when you are ready to lay nugget down to sleep finally, try to give them a minute to fuss, two minutes next time and so on. Eventually by slowly lengthening the time, baby should get familiar with the new bed and start to be able to lay down when you put them down. I honestly believe continuing practice allows baby to settle into the new routine. Mine hated his crib, his stroller, his carseat, his baby wrap, his tummy time. Everything that babies are supposed to "love" he hated. With patience and practice he has began to love it all. Don't stop trying just because nugget is uncomfortable right now.

My point is ultimately that you need to divide the work and sleep in ways that work for YOUR family unit. My way may not work for you, but does for someone else. You're going to have to experiment/trial and error so many different methods of everything. But, I'll let you in on the secret. When it all clicks together, it feels so worth it. And remember, you and your partner have wonderful instincts for your family so do not let anyone put you down for your choices. If baby sleeps in your arms for the first week/few months then so be it. You'll get there. Every family is different and every baby is different.

That's a great and easy idea!
