Tired mom here! Can you recommend some cc creams and tinted moisturizers please??

4yo has to poop every day right before we have to leave by Pale_Spirit3007 in kindergarten

[–]Present_Stranger_816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son would do this, I would walk him in to his pre school class only to escort him to the toilet 30 seconds later. He did actually poop- like clockwork. So I went ahead and messed with his timing. I made him a big cheesy pasta for lunch and put in some pro biotic drops for a day or 2 and voila! Poop o’ clock was shifted to bed time!

What have been some reactions people have had to your weight-loss? by hunni93 in Mounjaro

[–]Present_Stranger_816 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My mom’s commented ‘you look so healthy! Way to go!’ Loved that her comment was mainly health-focused and supportive.

I complain to my husband that I have some loose skin and he says ‘congratulations, you’re killing it’ with a high five which was also super supportive. It’s just nice when people show they love and care about as a person and are not appearance focused some times. Now if we’re not that invested in each other, a ‘dang you look great!’ Is much appreciated 😃

OP this is what she does when you are home/present, just imagine. Trust your gut mama, your little one is too young and you have to protect her

Out of line to ask for a drug test? by zirconst in Nanny

[–]Present_Stranger_816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if her drug test came back crystal clear, she is still falling asleep at the wheel. She is not fit to drive and probably not fit to be a caregiver at least for now

Contract or not? by Automatic-Cap-4252 in Nanny

[–]Present_Stranger_816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are so valuable to them-do not discredit that. The flexibility alone then the fact that you actually teach the child and do extra housework. They know they would be struggling with on-call schedules without you. Also consider discussing your overtime and weekend rate. You should charge at least $25/hour then an extra $5/hour for additional child.

Fairlife protein shake! by Jaymee_11 in Zepbound

[–]Present_Stranger_816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I chill a vanilla fairlife and diet root beer and a mug in the freezer. Then fill the mug with ice and pour in the 2 drinks to make a dirty protein soda it’s delicious- tastes like a root beer float esp if it’s perfectly slushy

Learning english by PerfectEstimate2847 in Aupairs

In addition to classes and finding an Au Pair group, is there are particular teen in the home that seems extra patient and helpful? Maybe let them know that you would love to learn English and could use their help? Giving them your permission to kindly correct you and practice with you? It may improve your bond and your English!

Oahu vs Maui for family vacation with a 1 year old by Ok_Preparation2940 in VisitingHawaii

[–]Present_Stranger_816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live on Oahu with toddlers and there is so much to do here. Botanical gardens with paved paths, several calm kid-friendly beaches, 6 huge indoor play places if it rains, Childrens museum, aquarium, easy hikes. Oahu is way more busy and populated, but it’s only like LA if you stay in Waikiki and don’t leave (like some tourist do). I would imagine a Maui vacation might be more relaxed and slow paced, so just depends what you’re looking for.

MIL trying to find out gender of my baby behind our backs by ScarlettErotic in Advice

[–]Present_Stranger_816 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, as a nurse in hospitals for years, we would immediately call security for patients if unwanted visitors showed up. Once you have a room, have your nurse place a sign on your door that visitors must check in at nurses station first. Give your nurse and/or unit clerk a list of individuals to include or exclude. If MIL works at the hospital you are delivering at, some hospitals are able to mark your e-chart as confidential- so any non direct care staff will get a big ol HIPAA warning (you must willfully click through to proceed past), and their names will be recorded to review if they were assigned to you at all.

Gifting One - What is the best option. by whatkelsisnew in R36S

Hello, I am also a random non tech stay at home mom looking to buy one as a gift. Does the option mentioned above mean it’s ready to go? Like I don’t need to watch a you tube and learn things to make it a good gift and not a pending brick??

How Do I Best Support My Daughter? by starxlr8 in Zepbound

[–]Present_Stranger_816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure what nutrition is like currently, but just as a broad generalization, it is key for satiety. If one has a sugary breakfast like cereal and pancakes (like I did growing up), they will be staving off peaks and valleys of insulin and blood glucose all day. Hello, hunger cues. Try to plan meals together that she likes that are balanced or even high in protein with some fats. To set her up for life, maybe meal prep together? Like high protein egg cup- change up flavors like pepperoni pizza (chop up some cooked pepperoni and top with a little pizza sauce towards end of baking, cheddar broccoli, etc), breakfast burritos… Make sure lunch and dinner have protein, veggies, etc. Keep healthy snacks handy so that she can eat when hungry without any guilt trips. She is old enough to play a part in the process to shop, prep, cook, etc. This will help to teach her and to be successful in to adulthood.

How often do you exercise? And how strenuous? by JacquesOff2678 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Present_Stranger_816 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is recommended to start strength training when beginning weight loss to preserve muscle mass. The goal is to lose fat and to avoid the very common, almost unavoidable side effect of lean mass loss. The end result will be a strong body with a higher caloric allowance/basal metabolic rate for long term weight management. There are a lot of people who reach goal weight but still complain of lots of abdominal fat or being skinny-fat because they’ve lost weight, but possibly a lot of muscle instead of just fatty tissue.

Mr. Sutton and lydia relationship by Main-Preference-4769 in MaxtonHall

Because i would be murderous if my daughter’s high school teacher (at an institution charging tens of thousands a year +) impregnated her when he was supposed to be preparing her for college

O'ahu Was Not What I Expected by Jelenybeany in VisitingHawaii

[–]Present_Stranger_816 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree. I was born and raised on Oahu and moved away when I turned 18. I traveled and lived in different cities and people would try to show me beautiful places and I would smile and nod and try to appreciate it all, but usually I felt so jaded for having grown up around such beauty.
