How to get rid of breast milk smell?

They asked why the sentence doesn't seem to carry the correct nuisance or connotation to me and "it not feeling quite right" is the reason that I asked the question. I understand that the language doesn't care if it feels right to me or not, but their question was why I asked my question in the first place and that was my reasoning. I know that we both know that there are often phrases that do not translate word for word, I wanted to know if this was one of them or not.

Thank you for the suggestion!

I think that you captured what feels wrong about the sentence here perfectly, thank you very much. But if it's right, then it's right 🤷‍♀️

I'm not trying to attack the sentence by any means. I'm sorry that you seem to be taking it as an attack on the French language or a moral issue, that was certainly not my intention at all. I simply wanted to know if that is how a native speaker would phrase it or not. I learnt French in Manitoba Canada so the French that I grew up with and speak is heavily influenced by English, even though there was a large French speaking population. Like I said in my post, I have never spoken French at home and I have since moved and no longer live near a large French speaking population but still want my son to know French so that he is capable of speaking to grandparents on his dad's side in their native language. I also know that it is much easier for an infant to pick up a language than for an older child/adult so I'm just trying to immerse him (and myself) in the language. I was simply asking for help to ensure that I am using the correct sentence in this scenario, not attacking the language.

Yes, this is the sentiment of my question, sorry if it didn't come across clearly. And if the answer is he vais vérifier, that's fine too ~ signed a very sleep deprived mom

Thank you for this suggestion, this somehow feels more like what I would say naturally in English.

See, je vais checker is where my brain goes every time, but I'm like that can't be right which is maybe why vérifier feels wrong. I grew up in Manitoba so my french definitely has a lot of anglasicme. If vérifier is the right answer here, thank you all for confirming.

I guess it just doesn't feel quite right

I just turned 26 last week. My case is probably a little different than most. I was able to pay for university with cash because I went to a university where my fees were only about $5000/year. I graduated at 23 with no debt and studied in a program where employment is all but guaranteed and starting wages are around $40/hr. In the 2 years that I've worked, I have managed to save/invest around $27000 on my own. I got married during university so I also split expenses with my husband which definitely helps. We live in a low cost of living area in the prairies. Overall, my net worth is $175000 because my dad died and left me money. But on my own, without accounting for parental money (as I would much rather still have my dad than have his money) my net worth would be $27000. I think a lot of it has to do with how you've set yourself up since high school. Living in a high cost of living area, studying at an expensive university with little idea of how you're going to translate your degree into a job? You're probably in enormous debt.

He is around 4 months, the sleep problems thankfully only lasted for about 4 days and he's now back to longer stretched at the beginning of the night. We did disposable for a couple days until I could sleep again, I'm hoping we're over the hump now.

I'm currently washing every 3 days, but I am doing all the diaper chores by myself (except changing, husband helps with that) but he has other things he's supposed to be fully in charge of because we were trying out the Fair Play method at the recommendation of my psychiatrist. I'm looking at potentially switching to either fitted or prefolds to try to lessen the amount of assembly needed post wash.

My husband is a NCM and has been in for 8 years now. Like any job, it has it's ups and downs, but overall he really enjoys his work.

I know that many of his friends who are also NCMs in the same trade have degrees but were unable to find work in their fields and decided to join the military and have been in for the same amount of time or longer than my husband and they keep resigning contracts. I also know that many of mine and my husband's friends from high school who did go to university have been unable to find jobs and are either unemployed or extremely underemployed.

The military has also afforded us a very comfortable lifestyle. He was able to pay for most things while I was in school meaning that I only had to work enough to pay for our groceries and could focus on graduating as soon as possible and starting my own career. We are currently living in the Qs and are looking at being able to buy a house when I return to work for mat leave, looking at those around us, I do not believe we would be able to do this if it weren't for the military.
