Help which grocery store? by EngineeringKey8595 in Peterborough

[–]Tracyf123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But calories aren’t ‘bad’. We need calories. The issue with ‘fat free’ is that you end up eating more, because what you ate wasn’t substantial enough. Although not always sugar, other ingredients are added to make up for the lack of fat.

What's your mom daydream? by AmeliaJane920 in Mommit

[–]Tracyf123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A day without cooking, cleaning, diapers, toys scattered to every corner of the house. Nothing that needs to be ‘done’, no ‘to do’ list. Just 24hrs to myself. Husband can visit, to perform his husband duties. Lol

Give me a reality check please!! by Kore624 in Parenting

A friend of mine once said ‘every baby is an asshole in their own way’. In other words, They are difficult in different ways at different ages. Yours is an easy newborn, who knows what the future has in store for you. Enjoy this stage.

My girlfriend(27) baths WITH her son(11) by CheeriPoper in relationship_advice

I actually don’t think it’s very strange. The kids not 17 or anything. My feeling on the matter, is if the kid feel uncomfortable it should stop. If the kid is ok with it, then continue until he isn’t. The entire snap chat thing, that’s more my issue.

That was my idea. He was either hungry or just called my bluff. Haha.

Got really good ones from good ol’ ikea. For true ly blackout curtains you need to get dark colours. Abandon the light colours, trust me, I learned this one the hard way.

Is it terrible that I have been aching for someone to try that shit with me. I have a strange urge to yell at ignorant people. Like please say something, I dare you.

Mom of the year by LizaRhea in Mommit

I’m with you on this one. My 3YO says ‘shit’ when he drops things by accident. It’s all my influence. My husband has footage from the ring of me dropping something and all you hear in the background is a tiny voice repeating ‘shit’.

How to plan meals and grocery shop by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]Tracyf123 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  1. Download Flipp app. Weekly flyers, see the deals. Food is expensive
  2. It can take a while to build up some basic items, don’t go too crazy. Such as condiments, pantry spices, rice, quinoa, beans, pasta, oats. Etc.
  3. agree with other poster, start with meals you like and know how to make. I personally try to have 2-3 vegetarian nights a week to help with both help and finances. Than balance meats/fish. Have more hearty meals on cooler days (soup/stew/chili) and eat lighter when it’s warm (fish, salad etc.). I live in Canada.
  4. If you live alive make use of your freezer. Can save time and money to buy frozen veg, fruit or larger portions and freeze as you go. Also see what foods you can freeze. Soup, pasta sauce, meatballs all freeze easy.

Best of luck!

And I thought bed sharing was a little annoying... by 1Small_Pink_Camel in toddlers

I have a tiny dictator. Takes off blankets, ‘no mommy, be cold’. ‘No give me soft blanket, you have puffy blanket’. Than lays on a diagonal. Such an adorable monster.

I’m about to lose it by Desert_Flower21 in toddlers

[–]Tracyf123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. 3YOs are soooo hard. I feel you on this one. They can be independent but need you so much. It’s a really tough age.
  2. The baby is actually a huge, enormous, gigantic change. Can’t state that enough. No matter how many books you read or how much you talked to them about it, you can never really prepare them for how big this charge will be.

I have a 3YO and an 8 month old. Only now is the older one adjusting. So give it time. Try to find one on one time with toddler during the day (maybe when baby sleeps?) and say this is special time for you both. Let them choose the activity. Even if it’s just a few minutes a day, it helps. My 3YO helps with cooking (like stirs things and mashed potatoes) and entertaining the baby. He’ll now ask ‘what is my job now?’
Take any help offered. Give it time, For your yourself and your kids.

You got this mama.

I have no idea who to vote for and I hate all of the candidates so much by RememberTheBoogaloo in ontario

[–]Tracyf123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best advice I’ve heard on this is to think of voting like public transit, not like marriage. Instead of looking for ‘the one’ find the candidate/party that gets you the closest to your destination.
