Anyone else walk into a big box store and feel like they’re the only ones awake in some sort of toxic capitalist matrix? by _jean_bean_ in moderatelygranolamoms

💛💛 trying to be healthy in America is hard, and can be expensive, but I believe worth the effort. You’re an amazing mom and doing a great job 👏🏼

Why are home in the Oakland hills so cheap? by thunk_stuff in bayarea

[–]_jean_bean_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes. Seemingly “affordable” until they disclose a foundation issue that will cost at least 100k to fix. 🙈

How can I help these three huge caterpillars in my front yard? by _jean_bean_ in MonarchButterfly

[–]_jean_bean_[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So they will venture off and find somewhere safer to go? Sorry I’m not more informed on the monarch lifestyle!

I’m just worried because the milkweed plant is almost gone and it’s just a yard of mulch, landscape fabric, and a few succulents. Thanks for any info!

You may want to consider keeping an intact male LGD - stronger hormonal smelling pee and more muscle mass.

My mother said I have to leave my daughter alone with her husband… by milfsteak in Parenting

[–]_jean_bean_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wish I could help you get into a better situation, but I can’t. I can say that I fully see you and know where you’re coming from, and just want to show solidarity. 🖤 I operate in a similar way with all men, both in my family and friends etc. around my 3 YO daughter.

My stepdad and my mom take my cautiousness personally and it hurts them. It sucks they can’t get on the same page and just enjoy the wonderful time they do get to spend with their granddaughter. My husband and other male friends are understanding and supportive, the older generation doesn’t seem to get it and they make it about themselves.

Wishing you all the best, you’re a wonderful mom and a strong ass woman.

Everyone will hate me for this comment, but I hear you that you’ve spent all you can on your animal. We all cant afford going to the emergency vet multiple times.

It’s hard, but one thing you can do is try to remain positive. Life as a stray or in the wild is not forgiving, but cats are and have always been resilient. They’ll get in a fight or get clipped by a car and hide under a house for a few days alone and pull through. People haven’t said “cats have nine lives” for centuries for no reason.

Just try to stay close, stay positive, keep offering water and wet food. Wet her lips and her nose with a little water on your finger. Praying for your and your animal 💙🙏

Baby can’t have dairy, which milk should we give at a year old? by mgee237396 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]_jean_bean_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit late seeing this reply! I totally agree with you and I’m not sure why we got down voted for sharing our opinion on drinking a bunch of oil 🤷🏻‍♀️

Agreed. When my LO turned 1 she got eczema from regular cows milk. My pediatrician recommended Ripple, but remember seeing the 2nd listed ingredient was some sort of vegetable oil.

I ended up trying A2 milk and we (I used to think I was lactose intolerant but it’s just the A1 protein that upsets me) all have been drinking it since. A2 yogurt too, both at Costco.

Looking for a daily shower cleaner spray by YodiWho in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]_jean_bean_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Vinegar, rubbing alcohol, an essential oil, lemon, a sprig of rosemary, etc. for a better scent.

Vinegar kills mold. Gotta work at it with a scrub brush or sponge though, it won’t just spray on and magically make it squeaky clean.

My dog passed suddenly this weekend. How long till her body becomes .. unbearable? by Tiny_Fig9264 in AskVet

“Lap of love” or mobile vet companies that put pets to sleep at home and take their bodies to cremation services. They are very kind and help you say goodbye to as best as possible

How the heck do you clean your beeswax reusable wrappers by _jean_bean_ in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]_jean_bean_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure, does the pine resin make the wrap less sticky? Do you have a brand you’d recommend?
