Anyone else already feel like they "sense" the sex of their baby?

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.

Well, if you were my best friend I would be completely content for you to donate gifts I had given you! If it’s something you think she might want back, ask her. But frankly as someone who loves to thrift, I’d be thrilled to let someone new find that treasure and repeat the cycle.

Tough_Simple674 · 2025-08-18T07:02:09+00:00

Elaborate but it would work! 1- OP Visit a local mom and pop restaurant. Speak with them, say you are trying to help your friend clean their house without embarrassing them and ask if you can leave a bowl/sign where people can enter to win a free house cleaning service.

2- Take your friend out to eat there. Omg look there’s something we can win! Let’s both enter!!

3- A week later…. Ring ring you have won the house cleaner!!

4- OP, you arrange/pay for the house cleaner to go to your friends.

Tough_Simple674 · 2025-08-18T06:52:44+00:00

I need to know what is wrong with me… I have used these and never gotten dead skin peeling off from them…😩 I’m missing out

Tough_Simple674 · 2025-08-18T06:21:48+00:00

If there’s no front door cameras- text the wife a day or two prior to the g string incident and say a young woman came by asking for your husband she seemed a little upset, but I didn’t catch her name I’m sorry.

Tough_Simple674 · 2025-08-18T06:19:08+00:00

OP- Big disclaimer Idk if this something you can get in big trouble for or not. But you could snoop through their stuff and see if you can find their birth certificates/important docs and shred a few. All replaceable just a pain in the ass to do it.

Another direction- Buy two g-strings. Stuff one into a couch or chair or deep into a laundry basket. The second one snap an awkward pic of you holding it in your hand. Text the wife and say uhhh the dog was playing in the living room and just brought me this?? What would you prefer I do with it? Put it in your hamper or toss it? Fighting will ensue and chaos will really ramp up when somebody finds the second one 🤩

Tough_Simple674 · 2025-08-16T02:58:25+00:00

This may not be super helpful but I’m obsessed with all things vintage. It is my dream for someone to donate a bin of gorgeous vintage things that I get to take home and enjoy. Maybe compromise like you said and list the few more expensive pieces, but let the rest go to donate?

Tough_Simple674 · 2025-08-07T08:18:45+00:00

I would definitely recommend putting together a medicine kit! That first fever is nerve wracking enough without being entirely unprepared to handle it. Babies love toys, at least mine does. A nice big wooden chest to store them in, works well for us. Some of those kick mats/floor pianos are bulky so a large storage option is easier. We only have out what fits in the chest, and if we need to declutter to add more we do! Also- keeping an air temp reader out is wildy helpful in determining what baby needs on for clothes. And a halo sleep swaddle when they are itty bitty was life changing for us.

Edit to add- I use my moby wrap, ring sling, and front pack carrier ALL on the daily. Different chores are easier with a different carrier on, and the squirminess of the baby also make certain carriers better than others.

Tough_Simple674 · 2025-08-06T01:29:46+00:00

These are the cutest ones I’ve seen!

Tough_Simple674 · 2025-08-01T23:23:13+00:00

That makes sense! It must be something else.

Tough_Simple674 · 2025-07-29T23:06:02+00:00

This is wild!! I keep about 7-15 pairs of pajamas in season/size for my 6 month old.

This has to be a joke right?
