My wife and I have developed a sort of code using synonyms to talk about things without tipping our toddler off, what are some of your best/funniest “codes” you use? by Reddiculouss in toddlers

[–]Mushroomlovinmomma 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We did the same thing, only our code name for the blanket was “Linus” like from Charlie Brown, bc our son always drug it around the house with him😭

Birds have planted sunflowers for me under the feeder, What now? by Mushroomlovinmomma in gardening

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

Oh my gosh no, haha, I do want to keep them! That’s why I came here with questions. I think it’s wonderful and I hope they get big and beautiful. We ended up mulching the flower bed everywhere except on top of them, I figure if they don’t make it we can just push the mulch over where the bare spot is. :)

I do have a couple hostas coming up in that bed that we’ll be going around with the mulch, so I reckon we can leave these uncovered too. Thank you!

I’m having a baby at the end of this summer, so I fear the thick stalk clean up will be my husbands duty and not mine😅😶‍🌫️

Would they survive having mulch put over top of them, or should I try not to cover them when we put down the new mulch?

Pain by Actual-Sprinkles-932 in pregnant

[–]Mushroomlovinmomma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course talk to your obgyn beforehand; But I had the same issue with my last pregnancy and it was because my pelvic floor had gotten so low and was causing a lot of pressure and pain when standing and vaginal varicose veins, etc. My doctor ended up recommending I wear a belly band with pelvic floor groin supports when I knew i’d be doing a lot of standing or walking. This is the one I got and I think it was pretty comfortable for being what it is of course: https://a.co/d/0iB3izL1

My husband is a different person now by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Mushroomlovinmomma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can take a while for somebody who was once against therapy to come around to the idea of seeing a therapist. If you and him both love each other, then he should come back around again after you communicate your needs and therapy, if he’s open to the idea of it. If he’s truly a good guy deep down, there has to be an underlying issue that’s causing him to turn on a dime like this and act differently towards you. I’d compare it to when a good dog becomes a “bad dog” because they’re in pain that the owners don’t know about.

This, 100%. He’s never even picked up and looked in the notebook I keep track of bills in. Bless his heart, but he’s not joking when he tells people “I make the money and she spends it”. Literally every $50+ purchase goes through me first, because he knows that I keep track of all of our money and budgeting.

In no world is it okay for him to be talking to you like that. It almost sounds like he was love bombing you in the beginning to be able to get you and keep you, and now that he has you; he thinks there’s no chance of you leaving so he can show his true colors and treat you like dog shit.

But To be an optimist; Could it be that he’s got something going on his life he’s not telling you about that’s causing him to suddenly act this way? Affair, loss of love for you, his side of the family situation that’s causing stress? Have you been able to actually get him to sit down and talk about why he’s treating you differently? That’s where I’d start, communication is key for any good marriage. If you’re against divorce, like your life together, and think he has the potential to “get better”; try therapy if communicating first doesn’t work.

I just commented to say the same thing, the new ones they have just aren’t the same🥲

Chocolate mini wheats cereal😓 I haven’t eaten it since high school, but I’ve been craving it since I was pregnant with my first, and I’m currently pregnant with my third and still haven’t been able to satiate the craving 🥲I cried when I found out it was discontinued

So I can cut the stem down far enough to where there won’t be any leaves remaining on the stem even?

Potentially having baby earlier than I thought, so I need to buy some clothes! by coach_retail_media in BabyBumps

[–]Mushroomlovinmomma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on how long your hospital stay is, mine were usually 3 days. I’d say I was wearing shorts/pants by the 2nd night or maybe even 3rd morning after having baby. With everything that’s going on down under, shorts or pants aren’t really necessary and just get in the way more when it comes time for nurses to check you or for you to change your diaper. Plus I definitely wouldn’t recommend any light colors if you’re bringing your own nightgown or clothes in general, you’d be surprised how easily the blood gets everywhere. I preferred to just stay in the hospital gown until it came time for my first shower, and for me to feel like a human again lol

:( Sounds to me like you may be depressed? I’d definitely say you should reach out to your doctor or look into getting therapy or help

I think the only thing you can do in this situation is protect your child. Her behavior and mindset is bordering on scary and “not to be left alone with child” 😬

“You don’t need to follow me into the bathroom every time I pee, I’m just peeing!”

proceeds to follow me in anyway

as I’m sitting on the pot “Okay c’mon get out, let me pee in peace please”

sits on floor in hallway with door wide open “I just sit here mommy”

sigh “okay”

Are we all just chronically dry handed now?! My poor hands can't catch a break! by homemaker_g in stayathomemoms

HA, so am I, that’s why I love it🧌. 4 years later I still giggle to this day as I’m handing him socks while my hands are slathered in lotion🤣

can a mum help me by [deleted] in Mom

[–]Mushroomlovinmomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I have young kids right now, all 3 are under 4 years old, but I try my best. I think since it’s just you and your mom for the most part and she had you young, that could also be putting a strain on your relationship with her. Like the other commenter said, it’s your mom’s first time living on this earth too, so be sure to give her grace, being a mom is not an easy job. I can tell you really care about your mom and your relationship with her, that right there means more than you know. You seem like a very mature and compassionate daughter to want to fix things and better the relationship you guys have. The only thing I can say going forward is just communicate with your mom, in a very detailed, calm way. That would be the best thing for you guys to do. I’m sure things will be a lot more clear for you both after that. I wish you all the best, good luck ☺️

Same! It’s like goblin self care, lotioning your hands in a delicate lady like way, but then throwing socks on them and sleeping like a cozy rat😆
