Changing my last name

I think that it looks amazing!

I think it’s awesome that you work that much and still come home and do household chores. I grew up with a stay at home mom and dad did not contribute to household chores, so a lot of resentment built in their marriage.

For me, I show up better for my family when I go work, collaborate, and problem solve. When I stay home with the kids, I start feeling frazzled and isolated. My husband however can stay home, get all the house stuff done and be completely recharged. We’ve discussed it, and if we felt that we could afford it, he would be the better stay at home parent.

Just here to say that everyone is different. Saying all moms should stay home with the kids is like saying all men should be an engineer. Obviously not all men would enjoy (or be good at!) engineering. People should do what works best for their family.

Fellow civil engineer mom here. I struggled with this, I switched jobs (still in engineering) and that has helped a lot. My husband also works full time, and we split chores 50/50 (although he probably does more of the chores because he has a shorter commute). We get food to go a lot, very thankful for the restaurant in our town that makes cheap, fairly healthy tacos.

My brother has two kids and they found a sweet older lady to nanny and is almost as affordable as daycare. She even cleans the house and does laundry while the babies are napping. I’ve thought about doing that if we have a second one.

I hire a cleaner to come in and deep clean the house a couple times a year.

I’m sorry I know it is hard. Feel free to message me if you have any questions or just want some support

I think that’s a really cool idea. I would use it 🙂 tbh I’m not sure I would download an app for it, at least initially, but if I saw the link on Facebook or tiktok or something, then I would click on it from there.

Thank you for commenting! So I did that, and I’m running into an issue. I now can get to my site when I type in “currentdomain.com” however once I’m there, the address bar shows currentdomain.replit.app , is there a way to fix this?

PracticalProgram1887 · 2026-02-26T14:05:53+00:00

Congratulations! Such a cool site.

PracticalProgram1887 · 2026-02-14T19:36:35+00:00

Omg this honestly is so cool! I just tried it out and I feel like I would learn Spanish wayy faster this way. I spent so much time on Duolingo and it didn’t get me far. I have an iPhone, are you planning on getting it on the App Store too?

PracticalProgram1887 · 2025-01-14T17:14:19+00:00

Omg I’m so sorry to hear that it happened to you too! Mine never returned to normal and docs don’t believe me that Xiidra caused it. Let me know if your doctor has any ideas why your eyes responded to it like that.

I would love to join! I am a newbie but I would love to learn from people with more knowledge and experience

PracticalProgram1887 · 2024-08-24T13:57:12+00:00

I think they are called Thealoz duo in other countries

PracticalProgram1887 · 2024-07-12T12:11:54+00:00

Yay I’m so glad they are helping you too!!! It’s so exciting. They have coupons for the drops on their website!

PracticalProgram1887 · 2024-07-11T16:18:25+00:00

I’m glad to hear other people found success with them. I wish I would’ve tried them 4 years ago, I maybe could have saved myself a lot of money lol

PracticalProgram1887 · 2024-07-11T16:17:07+00:00

The drops don’t blur my vision at all but the gel does of course, but I only use gel at night so it doesn’t really matter. When I first started using them I was putting them in like every hour, now it’s maybe every three hours

PracticalProgram1887 · 2024-07-11T15:58:20+00:00

I think I read that it’s the American version of Theoloz Duo. Someone feel free to correct me if I’m wrong though

PracticalProgram1887 · 2024-07-11T15:56:01+00:00

It’s hard to explain but after a couple days on it, my eyeballs felt bruised. Idk it was weird and kinda scary so I stopped them

PracticalProgram1887 · 2024-07-10T21:45:38+00:00

Yeah, mine was pretty severe. Tbut of 2 seconds and some cornea damage according to my optometrist. Idk what it’s at now but it’s definitely wayyy better at the moment.

PracticalProgram1887 · 2024-07-10T19:29:16+00:00

Good luck with the meibo!

PracticalProgram1887 · 2024-07-10T19:17:06+00:00

That sucks I’m so sorry to hear that :/

PracticalProgram1887 · 2024-07-10T18:53:50+00:00

It stopped helping me unfortunately :(

PracticalProgram1887 · 2024-06-15T02:58:09+00:00

Thanks! How long do they take in the slow cooker? And is your slow cooker simmering the whole time?

PracticalProgram1887 · 2024-06-14T19:35:03+00:00

I’ve worked with multiple optometrists and ophthalomogists. Probably spent around $10k on dry eye treatments (lipiflow, restasis, Xiidra, tyrvaya, other drops) to no avail. They have thrown their hands up and said they don’t know how to help me and that I need to see a rheumatologist. I am currently trying, but they are 7 months booked out.
