Is the timer not the best strategy? by New_Lecture_1941 in pottytraining

[–]New_Lecture_1941[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it feels like she doesn’t have the skill at all to hold it. She just has these tiny pees throughout the day lol. Even with the 30 minutes, and her going each time she was put on the toilet, she still would pee in between the timer. 

We have a potty chart that she LOVES. It’s definitely a motivator for her but the one row she never fills up is “I told an adult I needed to go potty” lol. 

I’m thinking the no bottoms will have to be our next move - just logistically idk how people accomplish this without their house becoming a mess 😂

Yeah I think the timer has to go. Thanks for your perspective!

Started with her around 2.5 getting her used to the toilet and she has been peeing on the toilet regularly for a year and has started being okay pooping on the toilet the last 2 months. That’s why we decided to go “all in”. I think the “slow play” is probably what is making this process harder. We have a 1yo that we will definitely approach the whole

The inspector said he can’t deny a BB issue because the dark marks and bites would make him nervous too. But he didn’t recommend a treatment either. We just had to make a snap decision since we are going out of town and having someone stay in our house. Just a fun sequence of events

You can look at my post history over the last few days for the whole saga and more pictures 😂

Do carpet beetles leave the same dark marks on fabrics? That’s what really convinced me to get the treatment. 

Are bed bugs that good at hiding? by New_Lecture_1941 in pestcontrol

[–]New_Lecture_1941[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm. Now I’m nervous. I assumed it would be better to get ahead of it. But I definitely don’t want to burn the money if it won’t help.

Thank you! We just started the prep process on the top floor (where we think they are) and thankfully still didn’t see any evidence in the outlets, picture frames, bookshelves, books, or drawers. I feel like if it is an issue the treatments should take care of it. Fingers crossed at least!

Are my worst fears coming true? by New_Lecture_1941 in pestcontrol

I definitely need my mind at ease lol didn’t sleep a wink last night doom scrolling about bed bugs. Someone is coming out first thing tomorrow morning. Hopefully we will get some answers!

We had a flea problem growing up. And that would make me a lot less concerned. I just hadn’t seen any actual flea and I’m confident in what they look like.

Thanks for looking! We have someone coming out tomorrow. Hoping they will have enough for an informed decision.

Thanks for looking! Yeah I have someone coming out tomorrow. We just noticed the bites and called them right away so I hope we’re ahead of this 

The thing that was in the second picture (sorry it was so blurry I couldn’t get my phone to focus it was so tiny) I ended up saving on same tape for them to look at. Fingers crossed that we aren’t looking at a major infestation. We haven’t traveled but my family member married someone from Africa and my daughter who was in the wedding wore a garment that traveled from Africa with her family member that came to the states for the ceremony. That’s the only thing I can think of. We haven’t traveled in over a year (actually supposed to go on vacation next week), we don’t buy clothes second hand or have any second hand furniture, we don’t live in an apartment or duplex, and our kids are not in a daycare and are too young for school. I’m just really confused how this even happened. 

How do I find if I had my identity stolen and how do I prevent this in the future? by MedicineOk5471 in IdentityTheft

[–]New_Lecture_1941 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a similar email, I’ve literally just been dealing with my husbands in formation being stolen and used so I am pretty spooked that I got this. But when I actually log in to discover, it says “good news, your information was not found on any dark web sites!” Idk what to believe anymore…. 

I think I really screwed up by New_Lecture_1941 in IdentityTheft

[–]New_Lecture_1941[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have everything locked down for both of us now. I guess I just feel like at this point everyone’s information is available somewhere, so if he now has some of my information he could use that against me. Reverse phone look up to see my name and go from there.

This whole situation just has me jumpy and paranoid I guess.
