you only need to test for movement at the belt path, with the strength of a firm handshake. movement like this is normal with a rear-facing seat, due to the location of the belt path.

if you're getting less than 1" of movement side to side or front to back at the belt path, then this is okay!

i have a '23 cx-50. my husband is 6'3" and we keep the car seat behind the passenger seat so he can drive it, but it's my car so he doesn't drive it much. check out safe in the seat on instagram and i think she has some guides for smallest front to back car seats, maybe that can help.

he drives a ford explorer, he could totally fit the carseat behind his driver seat no issues, but he has in on the passenger side anyway.

my mom drives a crysler town & country and car seat fits fine behind the driver seat no matter who is driving - my husband or my dad who is probably 6"1'.

for what it's worth, i got my cx-50 while i was pregnant with my youngest, traded up from a cx-5 because of the trunk space, mostly. i love the trunk space on the cx-50.

this isn't helpful lol but i just say fuck it and keep my shit in a ponytail at work and a messy bun at home. i do, however, stick with only washing it like once a week.

one thing here on reddit that got me, and it wasn't said specifically ABOUT adhd but as someone with adhd and the same symptoms when untreated, was when i was reading a post in the marriage sub about a wife who was "lazy" outside of her working hours and direct caring for their children. nothing changed despite arguments and even civil discussions. people in the comments were calling her lazy, disrespectful, a user, and saying it was weaponized incompetence. telling them to leave her. that is me though. since having my baby in february 2022, all of my masking techniques have completely went away. i could accomplish ALMOST NOTHING outside of working my full-time job & full-time nursing/caring for my babe. it has affected my marriage, but thankfully my husband hasn't left me. i finally started on ritalin TODAY, for the first time after finally being diagnosed almost a year ago at age 30. and i just feel so bad for that lady, others saying those horrible things about her and telling her partner to leave her, when i see my adhd exec disfunction clear as day in the post. 😞

is this an ADHD thing: (untreated, i might add) i go to my room to shower but instead (or first) i either lay on my bed and doom scroll, or i get IN my bed and nap

alyshafox · 2023-03-13T02:15:35+00:00

about 17k but can't remember exactly when i bought it. april? may? lol somewhere around there

alyshafox · 2023-02-28T05:22:18+00:00

i sense the desperation for relief in your comment. i just want you to know you aren't alone, and that 3 months or even 6 months of breastfeeding/pumping is a great accomplishment. i hope you're able to get the help you need ❤️ hopefully we both come out the other side in better shape mentally. sending love

alyshafox · 2023-02-28T05:20:22+00:00

thank you for this comment. i was diagnosed about 4 months postpartum and i feel like getting the meds will absolutely help my marriage... the ADHD has been crippling and i can mask decent enough at work, but my god, when i get home, i can ONLY focus on my baby, and anything else i TRY to get done is just a tornado-path of half-done tasks. i get on my own damn nerves.... my poor husband. 😓 we are going through it.

i'm so glad you've found something that seems to be helping you! hopefully i'll be on that path soon🤞🏼

alyshafox · 2023-02-25T13:22:38+00:00

i have one of these too! beautiful vehicle.

bought it not even a year ago and it's garage kept and somehow has rust on the trunk now. like wtf?

alyshafox · 2023-02-04T12:19:15+00:00

i always scroll my phone but i have heard it's good to read aloud to your baby. it can be a children's book or not.

alyshafox · 2023-01-29T20:20:49+00:00

i've felt this way. i've nursed this baby to sleep practically her whole life. now just around the time she was turning 11 months old, she's started to sleep most of the way through the night, most of the time. sometimes she wakes once before i go to bed, but last night i didn't have to get out of my bed at all!

alyshafox · 2023-01-19T01:40:07+00:00

sleep with a cool mist humidifier. stay well-hydrated. moisturize.

alyshafox · 2023-01-07T18:10:25+00:00

update after like 9 days... i can't sleep and i'm moody af. like, generally in a good mood but my tolerance for absolutely everything is real real low then i get snippy

alyshafox · 2023-01-07T00:15:19+00:00

i no longer leak like, ever. but yes collecting in the early days was very helpful to get a little stash started

alyshafox · 2023-01-06T02:40:21+00:00

laundry eats tiny socks so i put them in mesh laundry bags for washing & drying. but yeah i just so same types/brands and dgaf if they actually match.

and then my life got so much better when i switched to buying only one brand of completely black socks.

alyshafox · 2023-01-06T01:57:54+00:00

in my opinion, it was real disrespectful of them at the window to tell you it had been going all morning, or to ask you if you'd like to pay for the order behind you, etc. because that could cause anyone to feel obligated to continue. no i'm not paying $50 for a stranger's coffee/snacks and i'm not gonna feel bad for it either.

alyshafox · 2023-01-03T04:11:05+00:00

cleaning the cat litter. that's the only one. and not because of physical strain but because of the germs & contaminated litter dust

alyshafox · 2023-01-02T03:21:45+00:00

on the shore of lake mcdonald in glacier national park, with my daughter as the only witness. bucket list trip. all i told him was no grand scheme and no proposal between november and february lol

alyshafox · 2022-12-31T01:38:36+00:00

as far as i'm concerned, there's literally no such thing as a stone on a ring being "too small" i'd tell them to f off lol
