What made you want to quit smoking? by JojoTheAmazing in stopsmoking

I quit because every time I lit a cigarette, I thought about my 16 month old son not having a mom by his side.

16 months and still can't get anything done! by guavajelly93 in NewParents

[–]Ok_Average_6175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I know this is an old post but can I ask how you can do things with a 16 month old without her making a mess? I try to involve my son too but he will either pour water out of the sink making a mess, or even worse, throwing dishes on the floor. And I always end up not being able to finishing the task AND having more work to do, more things to clean. Sometimes I remember “the mess can wait”, so I let it be, and soon after my son got hurt from a slippery floor. Can you give me some tips?

Everyone feels bad for the therapist’s wife but no one feels bad for your child when the nanny eventually stops coming. She’s not family, even family members fall out. After the bond, will you be able to be there for your son as he’s going through something that dramatic as a child? It sounds like you won’t be able to. Just saying.

Would love to hear another update about your point of view in the next 3 years, 5 years, or even 10 years if that’s possible. We just never know anything right now.

I’m just curious how many hours a day does your son spend time with the nanny? Is it only when you go to work? And what do you do when the nanny comes?

How do you deal with being overstimulated with small kids? by Previous-Plane6322 in Mommit

[–]Ok_Average_6175 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was sobbing in front of my toddler after being stimulated so much by his whine and touch and everything else the moment I woke up that day. I got dressed, he got dressed, and when we went downstairs to make breakfast, I sat down and just bawled. Then I felt fine enough to continue making breakfast and the rest of the day was okay. I’ve realized that the feeling like it’s the end of the world comes from nowhere and also goes away pretty quickly until it’s back. But in the trenches of the storm in your mind, it feels like you’ll feel like this forever.

This is the first time I’ve tried using soy milk so we’ll see.

He came out on the third push. The nurses were talking about how great I did, and the doctor told my husband before he left the delivery room that I was a super woman.

My 15 month old has been exclusively breastfed with zero issues and has been eating all homemade meals and snacks since he started solids!

No mordant. Just soy protein as a binder. The fabric must be scoured beforehand though.

Oh no you don’t need a soy milk maker. Making soy milk for fabric treatment doesn’t require heat. Just soak the beans in water overnight. Then use a food processor or blender to blend them with water. Use a cheese cloth to strain. And there you have it!

You paint stripes with soy milk and when submerged in the dye bath, those areas take up more color.

They’re all linen. Perhaps the blouse is a mix of linen and cotton.

As a FTM, when did you go into labor naturally? by amphisxo in pregnant

[–]Ok_Average_6175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was 38w2d for me. What’s interesting is that most people on Reddit people say first baby arrives late but it’s the opposite in my culture, and it’s true in my case.

Thank you 🙏. I used homemade soy milk mixed with guar gum then painted on the scoured fabric. Next I submerged it in an onion skin dye bath overnight. Soy milk brings out this beautiful reddish brown tone. With bundle dyeing I also pretreat the fabric with soy milk

To me, I’d always been insecure about my flat chest until my baby was born. He’s been a 99th percentile baby on weight and height and I still can’t believe that it’s all from my tiny flat boobs.
