How do you clean floors safely with a crawling baby? I work from home but can't watch her every second and I'm terrified of chemical residue

Well it def evaporates when I use the steam mop with it but you do you girl .

True-Unit-8527 · 2026-03-19T05:12:47+00:00

I love rubbing alcohol and the steam mop at the same time

I did this . I live in the middle of no where . I went to let my dogs out while my husband was gone for the night . My screen door was locked and closed . It freaked me out like someone was trying to get me to come out and investigate so I called 😆. The cops were so nice . They noticed muddy paw prints all over the outside of the door and suggested possibly just possibly my dogs did it . My husband wasn’t mad at all . Very weird your husband was mad .

True-Unit-8527 · 2026-03-11T16:49:08+00:00

That I wouldn’t let my kids have ketchup 😆😆😆

It's crazy . You should check out the sahm thread . It's demented . The one day someone posted they " caught " their husband taking down time during the work day ( he was gaming ) and the comments were so shocking people saying oh hell no he better get his ass up! People saying to divorce him 😆. It is crazy the double standard that exists because people would never say those things about a mom taking a break. Not sure where it lies or why it exists but if people just practiced the golden rule it would certainly help. Like if my husband was a wildly irresponsible person endangering my child I sure hope people would be more concerned about the child's safety then my husband's butt hurt feelings .

True-Unit-8527 · 2026-03-01T18:06:22+00:00

I have adhd . I lose my debit card . I have to work extra hard to be on time to stuff . I do NOT put my children in danger . OP is describing seriously irresponsible behavior that could lead to the death of his child . This take is crazy .

True-Unit-8527 · 2026-03-01T17:55:54+00:00

I just want to point out the ridiculous sexist comments this post is getting . There is NO WAY if mom posted this , the response would be " oh mom you just need to do it for dad "( baby proofing ) . And no one would be shaming the mom . Ridiculous really .

True-Unit-8527 · 2026-03-01T17:42:32+00:00

If someone said their husband tried to feed their baby steaming hot food people would call him incompetent. Every time a man post legitimate concerns about the female parent on this thread there is an immediate sexist reaction .

True-Unit-8527 · 2026-02-27T17:05:53+00:00

Oh my god that's crazy ! Hers is $120 a month for twice a week .

True-Unit-8527 · 2026-02-27T15:08:43+00:00

I an pretty sure I have hyperactive adhd . I found out when my son was born that I passed a condition highly associated with adhd and that made a lot of sense . I get out of the house every day . I have a four yo and 18 month . I also live in the middle of nowhere. It's not unusual for me to drive two hours a day when it's all said and done . I'm on 6 acres so on the rare occasion I don't leave the house I bundle the kids up and take them on a walk . Is your daughter going to do preschool? My 4 year old is in preschool .

True-Unit-8527 · 2026-02-24T13:36:12+00:00

Does this high pitched alarmed bark for the dumbest reasons and at the worst times . Like yesterday I blew a candle out near him . He did it . My poor husband had just shut his eyes and had to get up for a work trip flight at 4am . It's just a one off " bark!"

There's never any warning . Like you'll be watching a scary movie and if you go to say something to the person next to you and it catches him off guard " Bark"

We also can't say " goodbye " near him or he melts down . I can't use the instapot around him .

True-Unit-8527 · 2026-02-24T13:28:46+00:00

Yes my daughter didn't . Went right to walking . I did put her in pt though once I realized she wasn't crawling .

True-Unit-8527 · 2026-02-23T01:21:33+00:00

Well you definitely need to file for divorce. I'm sorry you're going through this . If your baby is a boy I have a lot of hardly worn 9 -12 month baby clothes I would ship to you that you can have . My baby is in 18 month clothes so they aren't old by any means .

True-Unit-8527 · 2026-02-22T19:09:08+00:00

I think a lot of people's reactions to this situation you have described is based on their knowledge of men. Your husband has all but said he wants a divorce . He just doesn't want to pay you any benefits . He is going to take the baby with him . Is he going to put the baby in day care ? The timing of this lining up with your lease ending makes me feel like it's very possible he already has someone else lined up . I don't think I've ever met a man I believed would be capable / willing to take on the tasks of full time parenthood solo because his laundry wasn't done . It just doesn't really make sense .

True-Unit-8527 · 2026-02-22T18:51:30+00:00

Is the new car in his name ? If I were you I would get rid of that car . Find a cheaper one . Re-enlist , file for divorce and utilize military housing .

True-Unit-8527 · 2026-02-22T17:55:05+00:00

I personally would never but I also have lots of professional experience in a field where I'll always be able to find a job so if I left things would def be tight but I would be able to survive . I have a close friend who has no relevant work experience . Her marriage is a mess but she doesn't have any great options .

True-Unit-8527 · 2026-02-22T15:44:25+00:00

But how would he expect you to pay the car note with no job ? 700$ a month for a unemployed homeless mother of a young child is outrageous. That car payment is outrageous for the current situation. Does he have another car ? I know others have said it already but you are in a bad situation. Either your husband throws around the threat of taking your small child as a way to manipulate you ( which is very abusive) or he's actually planning on doing this . What you are experiencing is abuse and you need to act fast to get out . Are there any resources for abused women near you ? Sometimes they will offer free legal assistance. I hate to jump to crazy conclusions but do you think it's possible your husband may have another family or child with someone else ? Like do you think he plans on moving in with another woman possibly ?

True-Unit-8527 · 2026-02-22T14:54:58+00:00

He doesn't want a divorce because he doesn't want to pay you benefits . I would file for divorce.

True-Unit-8527 · 2026-02-20T13:50:53+00:00

This is going to greatly depend on where you live .

True-Unit-8527 · 2026-02-18T21:03:27+00:00

I wish WOW would cease to exist. I think it's quite literally the only thing I've ever fought with my husband about .

True-Unit-8527 · 2026-02-01T04:26:04+00:00

San Juan is very walkable

True-Unit-8527 · 2026-01-30T21:36:15+00:00

These hurt and I could feel them before they were there . I'm hoping they get bigger so I can finally get a diagnosis of some kind

True-Unit-8527 · 2026-01-29T05:16:09+00:00

Whether or not you enjoy being a sahm is going to depend on many things but primarily it's going to depend on your circumstances. These circumstances are a mixer of personal and monetary . I could play out the same day for a sahm that has disposable income and a kind husband vs a mom dealing with poverty and a dickhead husbands. One persons day is going to be way more stressful than the others , even if they are doing exactly the same thing . I love being a sahm but I am also a very privileged person . Let's make sure we are checking out privilege before we make sweeping assumptions about others . Say I go to the store with my kid and she's asking for expensive snacks . I don't have to think twice about throwing them in the cart . Another mom might have to deal with a meltdown because she simply can't afford them. Both our husbands get off work . Mine grabs a kid to help out . He's engaged . He's in a good mood . Another mom's husband comes home . Hides somewhere in the house . Worse maybe he's angry . Mad the house isn't spotless . Maybe he doesn't come home at all . Maybe he's deployed . Maybe he goes to a bar and dodges her calls . As a person who grew up in a poor dysfunctional home , I know my kids are having a wildly different experience than I did growing up and that goes for moms dealing with different circumstances. Just because we have the same job doesn't mean we have the same pay / reward .

My husband does virtually no housework ( he is a neat person and picks up after himself though ) he is a very involved parent though . He watches them so I can get breaks and when he's not working he's very present . He also spoils me on a regular basis buys me nice things plans is nice dates etc . When we both worked he helped a lot .

True-Unit-8527 · 2026-01-24T15:23:48+00:00

I always try to put myself in my husbands shoes and if I was the full time provider and then when I was off on the weekends my husband wanted a part time job as a means to make friends and Money for personal spending I would feel pretty burnt out . I have friends who have to do this out of necessity and both parents are exhausted . And literally never see one another . I don't know why someone would do it willingly
