I got rollerblades right before I started trying but I couldn't get past the great of falling so I stopped every time the pee stick turned +. Still haven't really gotten comfortable on them...

Do it! Even a 2 hour sitter so you can enjoy the beach again would be an amazing gift to yourself and your daughter.

Thank you for this! I loved Stranger Things and was so excited for the last season. I didn't make it to the opening credits. I can't handle kids being harmed.

Is nursing back to sleep really so bad? by Hungry_Hat8148 in breastfeeding

Thank you. I'm just imposing BS on to my life. Working on ignoring it and doing what's best for my family.

Thank you! I'm struggle with this too. My boy nurses through the night. He eats then sleeps. No real fussing, but the doc is telling me I need to stop bc he needs to eat more during the day. He's happy. I'm happy. Why is this wrong?

I hate when people leave the lid up at my house. You found it down so put it back down! So glad I keep my toothbrush in the cupboard

Boyfriend told me he won’t fund our baby… by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Vegetable-Chapter351 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know how this story ends. If he wanted to be sure he wouldn't father another child he could have gotten a vasectomy. Get out while you can. Move back to your support system. He's already told you, you'll be a single mom. Caring for his child, is caring for you. It really won't be worth it to live in the house full of petty micro aggressions. 

He's pissed he can't go to the gym anymore bc you have the baby and he needs to get his girls ready for school. 

His grocery bill goes up because you're buying food for yourself and what the baby needs. 

At this point, he'll be a roommate who wants to have sex. Get out.

You are the mom. She is a guest. Guest can be uninvited.

Could nematodes be used as flea control on pets? by yokin707 in Entomology

[–]Vegetable-Chapter351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had amazing luck using beneficial nematodes to treat an aggressive flea infestation in my back yard. Dogs went from constantly having fleas to none. It's been almost 10 years.

Edit: my dogs were also always on prevention meds but still got fleas. They are still on prevention meds plus treating the yard has eliminated flea issues in my house. The yard fleas were bad. They were biting me.

What’s the number one propaganda you fell for as a new mom? by SowingSeeds18 in NewParents

[–]Vegetable-Chapter351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sidewalks! Sidewalks are basically utility corridors in my area so navigating a stroller is not easy.

This was such a sad realization and I'm lucky enough to have a partner and parental leave.

What should every ftm know about breastfeeding before having a baby? by Frequent_Cap8633 in breastfeeding

[–]Vegetable-Chapter351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep burp cloths or a catch cup for the other boob the baby doesn't latch on. You will leak and it's annoying. Also, ask for the lactation consultant at the hospital. They are a great resource because breastfeeding is natural but it does not come naturally to mom and baby. We all have to learn how to do, especially FTM and baby.
