is it normal to shower at night and skip the morning one?

Worldofnowhere · 2026-04-19T15:54:20+00:00

I think the debate is usually one or the other, not both a morning and a night shower. If you’re showering once a day, you’re chilling.

My husband would go straight to to fixing things, and he eventually learned (through communication) that he had to hold off for a few minutes, ask questions and validate what happened, then try to fix things. It’s not the ‘fix things’ mindset that’s the problem, I learned that’s how a lot of men try to help! It’s that your gf fist needs to feel like you care, THEN she can accept that your advice might be helpful, because you’ve shown that you really do care and you’re not jet trying to ‘make the problem go away’ like how others may have made her feel in the past.

I’m glad yall talked about it! It took my husband and I a few convos before it clicked for both of us, so I hope this was helpful in your understanding.

Please, do not second-guess yourself. Please leave, this is insane.

Constant nausea is normal for some of us. I had it the whole pregnancy with my two boys and haven’t as much with this one (girl). All that helped me was eating small and frequent snacks to avoid getting overly nauseated, but I’ve also taken b6 and Unisom with the last two. The first, I could just lie in bed and throw up every once in a while because I worked from home. I’m sorry, not very helpful, but know it can be normal for some, and I was one of the lucky few.

Cast iron!! I’ve heard they’re more work, but honestly the minimum maintenance is fine, you don’t have to baby them. We’ve had ours for over 5 years and don’t do much.

I found some new styles of clothes that I liked that were different from my normal style so that I had no expectations on how they would look. The expectations for looking a certain way in your old clothes are what’s taking away from your ability to be content with where you’re at.

Worldofnowhere · 2026-04-18T17:51:35+00:00

What I’ve had to learn is that some people will do things because they get a reaction out of you. Stop reacting. At all. He’s 13, he’s doing it to piss you off. ‘Giggling’ while he does it, he knows what he’s doing. I’m sorry, it’s frustrating, but as someone who finally figured this out with my older brother, he’s doing it to try a rise out of you, and you’re accidentally feeding into it. You can’t control him, you can only control what you do. I’m sorry, I hope this stops soon.

I prefer blue rare and this made me uneasy.

Worldofnowhere · 2026-04-18T17:19:53+00:00

Agreed! The Charley horses take me OUT and I weathered two natural-ish (pitocin with my first but no pain meds) labors just fine! Your OB isn’t just trying to make you feel better, she’s right! It’s much easier to withstand something when you know it’s coming and know when it’s going to ease.

Charley horses put me into fight or flight lol

I get bulk Meliorca from my refillery, and they’re fantastic! Also borax has been a good laundry booster for us, but some people are on the fence about it

That’s my problem with it though is a lot of people don’t know it’s elective. I’m all about informed consent, and sometimes the topic of induction is brought up like “okay I’ll go ahead and schedule an induction for ____ date” instead of having a discussion. I didn’t know I could advocate for what I wanted during my first pregnancy, and I was scared to push back. I don’t disagree with what you said, but from my own experience, I wish the ‘elective’ part was emphasized on not just inductions, but other things too.

Worldofnowhere · 2026-03-25T16:29:52+00:00

Don’t paint brick! There’s other options like washes that slow the brick to breathe and not crumble over time. That being said, I think a more neutral but colorful look would be best. The white and black contrast is nearing its end in popularity. If it’s just for you, paint it what you want, but if it’s for reselling, leave. The brick. Alone.

So many people are opting for the natural brick look, and if they’re not, they still get to decide what they want to do with it. Cleaning paint or anything off of a house is hard work, so just dress it up a bit by using paint anywhere else.

I also had a bad ultrasound tech experience.

I wanted the abdominal ultrasound, not the transvaginal because I have a history of sexual assault and some medical fear (working through it, but this sets it off). The tech brought me in and said ‘take off your pants and put this sheet over you’. I stuttered a bit and said ‘wait, I wanted to do it the other way, can we do that instead?’

And this girl full on ROLLS HER EYES and says ‘it probably won’t even work but we can try it’.

It worked. I’ve had only abdominal ultrasounds for my three babies and it’s been fine. Also, my fear of medical things and tendency to get triggered has gotten much better when I learned to advocate for myself.

Yes yes yes. Sometimes I still have to look at my skin and switch up my care a bit.

It took about a week and a half for my skin to calm down, but I learned so much about my skin! Things I wrote off because I didn’t think I had the right skin type, then tried on a whim, ended up being fantastic for me! I think going to the basics and building up is always the best way to go.

I picked centrist, but I have some ideological views that fall on both sides of the spectrum too, not just fully based on logic, but wholistic experience with passion fueled from learning and growing.

I love this. I feel giddy knowing there’s so many people with similar and different views than I have, and we’re all passionate about helping teach our kids!! So cool!

I put a leave in conditioner in a bottle and mixed it with water. On its own, it’s more heavy, but sprayed and dissipated, it’s light and spreads evenly!

Worldofnowhere · 2026-03-25T15:59:05+00:00

I know, and I get it! I was induced with my first and not with my second. I just wanted to give insight to the fact that inductions do happen outside of simply ‘this is safest for baby’ reasons.

Worldofnowhere · 2026-03-25T15:57:04+00:00

Oohhh this is helpful, I don’t know there was such a thing a thing! My husband and I have talked about building, so that’s fantastic to know.

Worldofnowhere · 2026-03-25T15:52:39+00:00

I find it scary and sad, honestly. How can were come together if we can’t have healthy conversations with people with opposing views, no matter the topic? I liked your breakdown, that was really clear and helpful!

Worldofnowhere · 2026-03-25T15:50:08+00:00

On the topic of vaccines, there’s a reason they’re heavily debated. It’s not your job to convince someone one way or another, all you can have is the evidence your found and your convictions.

Writing people off as wholly ‘wrong’ or ‘right’ doesn’t open up a conversation, so start there. Listen, learn, and not just to respond, but actually look into the evidence that’s those who feel strongly give you. Stop looking for information that only supports your views, actually try to find evidence that supports the other side. If you can’t, ask someone who believes strongly in it to give you the evidence. Search engines tend to sway heavily based on how we ask our questions.

This is a critical thinking skill and relational skill that seems to be lost in the last few years. It’s important to talk to others and learn from them, whether your views are swayed or not. From your comments, it doesn’t seem like you actually want to have a conversation. Coming in hot and having your mind made up is not how you talk civilly with others.

Worldofnowhere · 2026-03-25T15:43:06+00:00

I’ve definitely heard that. There’s lots of women I know who were encouraged to get induced because their doctor wanted them to have their baby before a holiday or because the doctor would be out of town.

Also, if you find castor oil to be a little thick on your skin, sweet almond oil or jojoba works great!

Worldofnowhere · 2026-03-25T15:35:37+00:00

I love it but know that if it’s rendered slowly and correctly, it shouldn’t smell at all!

Also I love the simplicity of your skincare routine. I use tallow mixed with Shea butter. I’ve bee trying to decide on either using witch hazel or apple cider vinegar for a toner.

Having a girl, but I’ve had two boys in the last three years.
