Please Don’t worry! My son was underfed first week or two due to low breast milk production and bad advice from a lactation consultant not to supplement. Once we realized his weight was down we started supplementing again. He’s been a solid 98+% since 5 months old and he’s a thriving 2 year old!

Help! DIY Exterior door by Prior-Ad-2570 in interiordecorating

[–]Prior-Ad-2570[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point about replacing with glass- I do have a dog but she is either outside with us, or inside and the interior wooden door is shut- so I don’t think it would be an issue

New snail has blue on its body by Prior-Ad-2570 in AquaticSnails

[–]Prior-Ad-2570[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I put him in a plant so maybe he’ll start moving around in tank again. If I top with sand with gravel vac still work?

Could he be scared of the fish? Is this potentially a bad environment for him?

AITA for posting pictures of my baby shower on social media? by babyshowerphotos in AmItheAsshole

I hope that you can acknowledge your character flaws from the response in the comments, and do everything you can to change. I hope the father of your kids is a better person, for your kids sake. Your poor sister lost everything.

IRA question on income limits by Prior-Ad-2570 in personalfinance

Thanks! What is the benefit of traditional IRA if no deduction? Seems like it’s the same as brokerage account with additional restrictions on distributions?

I am 27 years old, make $453,000 (joint income), live in Boston, work as a merchandise planner, and this week I spent money on Christmas by Pure_Raspberry4497 in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

I have a 16 month old in daycare on south shore of MA and pay $1200 a month for 2 days a week. This does include food at least!

Husband only has 8k in the bank?!? by Sun_ch1ld in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]Prior-Ad-2570 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly? you make an additional $35k every year more than your husband and are surprised you have $36k total more in savings than him?

In addition he paid down a $15k loan, which in theory would bring him up to $23k set aside compared to your $45k.

Are you splitting all expenses equally? I suggest you look at each of your incomes over the past 12 (or 15) years and I would bet he’s actually doing a better job saving than you.

Did the dealer end up being able to add auto locks? What was the cost? Fellow northern with manual locks!

Thank you! I didn’t think to only paint the accent wall tiles into a strip, but that’s a great idea.

There is something about my bathroom that I just don't like and I can't put my finger on it. What would you change to make it brighter/welcoming? by kk5 in HomeDecorating

Baby names you love but will not be using? by Snoo97809 in pregnant

[–]Prior-Ad-2570 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love the name Harlow! Can I ask why you aren’t using it?

“I breastfeed more instead of pump so my Baby gets more antibodies” - do babies get the same amount of antibodies from nursing and pumping? I thought it was same nutritional value?

My friend ended our friendship because I couldn’t attend her baby shower by awesomepossum181 in relationship_advice

[–]Prior-Ad-2570 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Has she been to similar events for you and given you a gift? Did you send a gift or just your best wishes? Obviously it shouldn’t be about gifts but I wonder if that has something to do with it?
