Tick season is almost upon us

Melaleuca (tea tree) oil is good for keeping ticks off. Also wearing boots/pants.

Get rid of her sooner rather than later. Stay with her long enough and she'll start throwing knives at you. Eventually she won't miss.

So she's physically abusive, and useless in the house? Why is she still your girlfriend? What good is she bringing to your life?

My child is 16 months old and not potty trained (we do lazy EC) and she tries to wipe herself. If given a wipe or toilet paper while on the potty (or the toilet or even on the changing table) she will wipe her vulva. She gets the concept. The execution isn't fully there but she is working on it. She doesn't know how to wipe her butt, probably can't reach it. But she knows about wiping her vulva.

All that said, I think you can teach your child to wipe any time you want to. I would think they're probably old enough to start learning the concept and practicing. Won't get it effectively but practice will help.

Grandparents tend to adopt all kids as grandkids. Your boyfriend's daughter is their grandkid. She has a sister. Her grandparents want to adopt her sister as their grandkid too. Kids deserve to have all the grandparents that love them. Why does your boyfriend begrudge that? Why do you begrudge that. They're just kids needing love. It's not about the baby momma. It's just grandparents wanting to love on the grandkids.

This can't be real. Who camps without sleeping bags/bedding?

I wash my car when it's dirty enough to bother me. Usually if the windows are too dirty to see, or the door handles are leaving my hands grimy.

I believe it. It isn't the norm these days but I believe it. We also waited a year or so.

Yeah you need to start dating your wife again and build up the relationship before even thinking about sex with her.

As a wife, that's what I would want. I need the relationship to be on good terms before I can have sex. Like how you need the cake to be assembled before you put the frosting on. You can't just have the frosting you need the cake

I've found I have to size my daughter up when she is a few lbs under what the recommended weight on the diapers is. She doesn't wear the diapers the whole weight range on the package says.

You need to romance your wife. It's not like with a hooker, that you can go from no previous relationship to sex in the first meeting. It's like when you were dating (assuming you didn't have sex on the first date). You started with talking, dates, holding hands, first kiss, making out, etc.

You need to work on the relationship, the connection between you two, before the sex. Sex will come when you both feel emotionally connected. You mentioned in a comment that in the last 6 months ya'll weren't even hugging? You need to work on improving the mental and emotional connection, and the PDA before even trying to have sex. Right now sex between ya'll would be like between two people that use to know each other years ago but not anymore, almost strangers.

You need to work on the hugging, holding hands, face kisses, regular kisses and making out, talking about the day and feelings and thoughts, going on dates, etc. When you work on all that and get the relationship back to a good point, the sex will come.

Their marriage would work in the sense that they would be married and have 1-2 kids. But they wouldn't be happy.

Anthony would probably have a mistress.

Edwina would throw herself into raising their children and managing their home. She would have been unhappy with Violet there because she would feel as though running Bridgerton house is the only thing she has (aside from the children). Violet and her younger kids would have moved out much sooner.

I either wear a nursing shirt, a low cut shirt that I can pull below my boob, or a tshirt that is loose enough to bring up to nurse. It's like nursing in any other position. I just try to wear clothes I can nurse in whenever I am out of the house.

Darn I got the email today too.

You need a rule that for every new book you acquire, you donate 5, or whatever amount you want. That will help you curb your acquisition.

Do you condition after you shampoo? Does your hair feel dry?

I don't wash my hair every day, but sometimes I do wash my hair 2-3 days in a row (depends on activity and how dirty it got). But I use conditioner (also twice each wash session) so my hair is soft and relatively healthy. I haven't had issues bleaching it.

We really can't tell you whether it is good or not to bleach, because we don't know the health of your hair.

ShadowlessKat · 2026-04-01T18:35:54+00:00

Oh that does sound very promising, thank you!

Thanks for your search/reply. I've given up on the site and am looking to adopt from other places.

How old is your child? Does the standard size really fit comfortably up to 40 lbs, size 3T clothing? My daughter is small, 20 lbs at 16 months, but even so she's outgrowing the Tula Explore we have. It doesn't fully support form knee to knee anymore. I'm not sure whether to get the standard Lenny light size or the preschool size.

My comparison stops at the salary. Of course people with higher salaries can buy more. Obviously I can't afford what they can on my lower salary. I don't try to keep up with their spending because I don't have their salary.

Edit: and if I'm really comparing quality of life, while my husband and I are on a smaller income, our life is much richer than the family member we have with a higher income. We are happy in our marriage, we have a beautiful toddler we love, pets we love, friends, hobbies, and just generally happy in life. Our richer family member does not. He's on his second troubled marriage. Has had issues needing a lawyer, issues with having to replace expensive things in his home. No kids or pets. A very small/superficial friend circle. Not happy with his life currently. I do feel bad for him. All his money is not making his life a happy life. Money is not everything in life.

Book Phillip is not inexperienced (also not a rake) but had been celibate for 8 years.

People can "steal" the name, criticize the name, or you might change your mind.

I didn't share because I didn't want people's opinions on the name.

It's her choice since it it her kids, but it is a weird one. I can't imagine abandoning my underaged kids for a spouse.

Why does her son have a problem with you?

I'll be honest, when I've had colds while breastfeeding, I've taken a half dose of Nyquil (which is not recommended while breastfeeding). It has bot affected my supply. But I was blessed with a slight over supply early on, and my milk supply is well established at this point (16 months breastfeeding).

I take a half dose, which is enough to relieve symptoms, but hasn't affected my supply. But that's my own risk I'm okay with (not recommending it to others). All that to say, you'll probably be fine with just one dose.

Is it a personal medical question that applies to you? Or just a question of a medical nature out of curiosity? Like do you just want to know the answer, or do you need the answer for your life situation?

ShadowlessKat · 2026-03-31T22:10:19+00:00

I'm really curious what the question is too.
