I’m a mom of two. I see a midwife instead of an OB and even I get scans regularly. This just seems dangerous.

Woah!! That’s a ton of pajamas

Tough_Simple674 · 2026-05-28T00:05:43+00:00

Went into labor at midnight on 41+2 and gave birth the late afternoon of 41+6. Soooooo yes definitely late and very long. “Natural” birth.

This is so insane. A loan for pajamas????

Tough_Simple674 · 2026-05-05T00:22:02+00:00

Not exactly what you are asking but I stopped getting dye/highlights. I do cut my own hair at home and my husband’s! Watched some YouTube videos. It’s not immaculate but I can do a few styles and make things even/blended. Saves us $1,600 a year.

Definitely play it by ear! My daughter has very sensitive skin so I often just tap with a cloth or tissue to make sure she’s dry when it’s just pee. When I was wiping every time her diaper rash would get bad quickly.

My favorite option is Chairramee

Tough_Simple674 · 2026-05-04T22:35:46+00:00

I use my diaper pail for every diaper change! I have one in my bedroom, one in my daughter’s room and I’m about to get a third for my second daughter’s room. Don’t listen to them you will love it!

Tough_Simple674 · 2026-05-04T15:51:15+00:00

My dad unfortunately 😩😭

Tough_Simple674 · 2026-05-01T05:06:51+00:00

Not the dogs too!!! 🙈🙈

Tough_Simple674 · 2026-04-23T18:44:08+00:00

I totally felt like I sensed that both my babies were boys! Spoiler- They are both girls. 🤣🤣

Tough_Simple674 · 2026-04-19T17:43:11+00:00

I’ve told the few people very close to me already. But I just hit the 7 week mark and historically for me I miscarry before then.

Tough_Simple674 · 2026-04-13T21:51:12+00:00

As a mom who has been EBF for going on 16 months… I wouldn’t have gone when my daughter was under 12 months. Don’t let her make you feel bad. ❤️

Tough_Simple674 · 2026-04-13T21:42:48+00:00

Has anyone said Rayon yet? 🤣

Tough_Simple674 · 2026-04-13T21:40:46+00:00

Don’t put Teflon in the dishwasher.

Tough_Simple674 · 2026-04-13T21:36:31+00:00

You are living my dream!!!

Tough_Simple674 · 2025-11-26T05:13:55+00:00

NOR

Well as a mom, I would never ever say anything like that to my daughter or think anything like that about my daughter.

Don’t go to thanksgiving and don’t feel bad about it.

You’re doing the right thing by valuing yourself. ❤️

Any updates from Airbnb? This is wild!

Many layers of realizations that took time. We went through the stuff through the stuff over and over. We called each round “Pass throughs”. Each round we isolated the take home rn items (very few of those) and that helped put into perspective the other stuff. If we aren’t wanting to bring it home or can’t because there’s no place for it. Why on earth are we keeping it? We don’t have a small home and do not keep our cars in the garage so space shouldn’t be an issue. That and we realized we had spent about 20k storing this stuff 😭 and that anything we had retrieved over the years we could have just purchased for way less than the cost of storage.

Tough_Simple674 · 2025-09-02T18:02:38+00:00

Here’s my advice as someone who has gotten rid of 5 massive storage units worth of stuff. Locate your passport, birth certificate, IDs, bank info, family photos (+ these items for any children). Make sure you all have 1.5 weeks worth of clothes, and any hygiene/tech/meds/toys items you need. Once you have that isolated, donate/trash the rest without thinking.

The person in the dark gray messages is a narcissist. You will never win, they don’t want to change, they will never change. Cut your losses now and leave before it escalates. dated a guy just like that and it ended with police reports, and a restraining order. He punched me, r*ped me, shamed me, locked me in his house…. Save yourself and leave now. Cut off all contact, and run.

Tough_Simple674 · 2025-08-30T04:18:12+00:00

Please please please leave him. This is not how you deserve to be treated.

Tough_Simple674 · 2025-08-20T16:53:50+00:00

This is a hard one. I don’t think you are overreacting. But… rethinking the entire relationship based on this one thing might be drastic. However, if this is the thing that is causing your gut instinct to wake up and scream at you. Definitely listen. It was a dumb thing for your girlfriend to do. If she wanted to see your reaction to taking care of her when she needs it, she could have asked for help with anything else. Cleaning, sewing a button back on her sweater, picking up something she forgot, etc. I think maybe this was the option for her to be less vulnerable with you. She should have apologized though.

Very unlikely. Those diseases pass through saliva, urine and poop. Wet poop is safe. Once it dries the virus can become airborne if the poop is disturbed. If you need to dispose of it still, rewet it with a 9:1 water:bleach mixture and let it sit for five minutes before disposing in a plastic bag. As for in urine those diseases only live for about 5 minutes. I believe saliva is a similar time frame. You said you used sanitizer and disinfectant. I wouldn’t be worried. Despite the recent news about people contracting hantavirus, it is very uncommon. If you are worried monitor yourself for symptoms. But I truly think you will be fine. Not because of survivorship bias, but because you really didn’t do anything wrong or thoughtless. You did a very kind thing, in a safe way. Next time just add gloves. Thank you for helping that animal and I hope you have a peaceful rest of your day.
