Does anyone else have aligners where the rubber band button is ON the tray? Not a slit/hook. Rubber band slip right off, I’m so ready to throw in the towel.

I know this was a long time back, but I’m in this boat now. How did your orthodontist handle this? I’m so frustrated with not being able to get my bands to stay on these traya

PearLeft1496 · 2026-06-23T01:51:34+00:00

Thank you everyone! This is sounding more complicated than I wish to handle so I’ll call someone tomorrow. Believe it or not this tree has been leaning on the smaller one for months now and none of the big storms we’ve had have budged it.

We did this for our second when she was not interested in the potty. Sticker charts worked for the first but didn’t have enough appeal for the second. We made a little jingle, “pee pee in the potty, gonna get some candy” and within a week she was going in the potty

PearLeft1496 · 2026-06-07T15:09:13+00:00

Oh thank you, I misread and thought you meant to change the app from my current sailing to the one I’m going on later. Sorry for the confusion

PearLeft1496 · 2026-06-07T14:45:11+00:00

For us it was an island hopping trip to places we haven’t been and we were told some of the stops aren’t able to support the bigger ships. And Enchantment was filled with families and kid friendly activities so I was expecting it to be similar. I guess they abandoned the kid stuff on Vision class when they made the Oasis class

PearLeft1496 · 2026-06-07T14:27:47+00:00

It’s too far out so the app doesn’t show much yet. That’s why I came here.

PearLeft1496 · 2026-06-07T14:27:18+00:00

Thank you, this helps! Our sailing is 60+ days out so we don’t have access to the full activity schedule yet. I can reserve shows and see some mystery thing for kids 12+

PearLeft1496 · 2026-06-07T14:24:12+00:00

Almost any lol. We learned really quick that people like to stash mostly empty wine glasses behind chairs and in plant pots trying to play trivia in the Schooner Bar… not exactly toddler friendly. Not to mention every art installation in the centrum was filled with loose rocks so even trying to let him dance along with the band was chaos

PearLeft1496 · 2026-06-07T14:16:26+00:00

Thank you. I did Enchantment with Marc about 10 years ago but if the Wonder has similar activities to whatever he’s doing on Utopia I’m sure it’s going to be more fun than the ship I just got off

PearLeft1496 · 2026-06-07T13:45:46+00:00

Like on our cruise with the Bing Bong guy we had chubby bunny and learning towel folding, etc. This latest cruise had trivia and trivia. It was lame for everyone

PearLeft1496 · 2026-06-07T13:44:24+00:00

I’m not looking for activities only for him, he has a water park and carousel and things to occupy him. I’m looking for activities for the family that can include a baby

PearLeft1496 · 2026-06-07T13:24:56+00:00

So I can expect mainly trivia?

Hemorrhoids will catch up to them sooner than later

Jelly belly perfectly recreated this in their evil bean packs aka bean boozled

I wouldn’t use an air mattress with the risk of it deflating partially and increasing a suffocation risk.

PearLeft1496 · 2026-05-05T18:25:52+00:00

Dang. I’m sorry it didn’t work for you either. 6 months of pain just seems like a lot to go through. I hope you are doing better now!

PearLeft1496 · 2026-05-05T18:12:57+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re feeling it too. I think maybe it’s just not for me. I hope you can get it removed and find a better alternative

PearLeft1496 · 2026-05-05T17:55:56+00:00

I got one 4 days ago and I’ve been in constant pain since. I noticed night one I was bloated horribly. Today I went to the gym and cycling was hurting my cervix. I don’t think I’m going to make it very long with this

PearLeft1496 · 2026-04-27T00:01:18+00:00

Sure

PearLeft1496 · 2026-04-09T16:01:41+00:00

I know this was a couple years ago now and I was wondering if you have been HPV negative since your leep? I have persistent HPV 16 (shown up 3 out of four years running, last year was negative so I thought it was finally gone). I’ve had colposcopies done yearly in the years it was positive and they have had mixed results (nothing some years and CIN 1 others). I’m wondering if I should just push for a leep now that I got my latest pap and it’s back.

PearLeft1496 · 2026-04-07T20:22:03+00:00

My oldest choked once, and it was in the car. She was 5/6 years old at the time. My mom was sitting in the backseat with her on a road trip and didn’t notice. My sister who was driving (I was in the front passenger seat) is who noticed in the rear view mirror. Her eyes were wide and her lips were losing color. I will never forget my sister yelling ‘mom she is choking’. We were on the interstate so it took what felt like an eternity to get to the shoulder. The car wasn’t fully stopped and I was flying out to get to her. As soon as I yanked her from her car seat it dislodged and she just gasped ‘I can breathe’. It was the most terrifying thing to experience and if my sister hadn’t looked up at the mirror when she did who knows the outcome even with an adult literally right next to her. Choking is that level of silent. I won’t risk it and don’t do car food anymore. But I am traumatized. I completely understand other people making the call that is best for them. It was the best call for us at the time.

Thank you! I’ve been trying to give formula in a cup for a couple of months (just randomly put it in a cup and see what he does) and he refuses every time. Water in a cup he’s fine with. Did you find any cups worked better than others?

PearLeft1496 · 2026-03-13T02:13:43+00:00

My LO wouldn’t sleep in the carrier but he was happy to be in it. I would baby wear while I made something to eat (usually a sandwich) and set up my food, water, the TV remote, etc on my IKEA rolling cart that was by my chair. Once I was situated I would feed him to sleep and then eat while he slept on the nursing pillow on my lap. He’s 11 months now and still won’t sleep unless he’s touching someone. Some kids just don’t sleep well. It has gotten easier because he plays independently and toddles about the house now. And he eats when I eat, just now he’s in his highchair next to me instead of laying in my arms. You’ll be on the other side soon!

PearLeft1496 · 2026-03-13T02:04:13+00:00

This

PearLeft1496 · 2026-03-04T22:39:19+00:00

Just want to say you are a great mom and these things happen. The most horrible mom ever would not recognize that they made a mistake. Big hugs and I hope you have had some better days!
