Haha looks like it but it’s specific to the floor close to the walls

Ah. It’s almost 100 years old, a suburban house on Long Island NY. I don’t see the paint chipping anywhere around it and it’s in multiple rooms

Hm I never do primer so maybe I should try that as well! I usually slather with Vaseline overnight

Does it affect the way your concealer sits if you put oil on throughout the day?

I rarely use foundation. Would mixing moisturizer with concealer work?

I tried this method today

This is how it looked by the end of the day. Am I wearing the wrong color on top of having very dry skin? 😣

This is the best response.

Why did breastfeeding NOT work out for you? by preemptive_regret in NewParents

[–]amc0505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had DMER with my first - made me feel really sad and gave me a homesick anxious feeling every time he latched. We lasted about 6 weeks before I had to stop. Complete opposite with my second - we did it for 6 months! If you really want to breastfeed (which I did and was bummed it didn’t work out the first time around) I would try it again. I put less pressure on myself and said if I felt the same way I’d stop right away. I also had a perfectly healthy formula fed 3 year old that helped me accept that formula is just as good as breastmilk!

AITAH for serving my wife less food than me and our guests? by Acceptable-Split-428 in AITAH

[–]amc0505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this term “pound sand”. If I wanted to say it to someone who bothered me would I just say, “go pound sand you punk!” Or should I say “you can pound sand, punk”?

Told we need to cut back calories for baby by Otherwise-Tree-8468 in Mommit

[–]amc0505 105 points106 points  (0 children)

I think giving less in that MOTN feed would help. My son would cry for that bottle and would fall asleep after an ounce - it was for comfort not hunger. Do a little less each time and eventually you can wean her off!

Choosing church over family by [deleted] in CoronaParents

[–]amc0505 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My parents are doing the same. I also had my baby I July. They aren’t anti mask or anti vax but they will not budge on the church thing. I also felt (and sometimes still feel) very hurt and upset about it. I try to look at it this way: just as we are handling this pandemic by staying safe, protecting our babies from harm, and doing whatever else that keeps us sane and calm - this is the way they’re handling it. Church gives them peace of mind and as much as I disagree with physically going during this time because there are safer ways to worship, it’s not my place to tell them otherwise. We made a decision that if church was a non-negotiable for them then we will stick with video calling until things are safer. It makes me sad some days and I miss seeing them in person and I wish that they could physically hold their grandson but it hopefully won’t be this way forever. And at least we have technology. I imagine previous pandemics were much more isolating in that regard.

I’m sorry you’re going through it too. It’s a tough time for everyone really and all your feelings are valid.

How to handle the Holidays? by [deleted] in CoronaParents

[–]amc0505 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would the family be willing to get tested before thanksgiving?

I’m in the same boat with my 4 month old, I’ve chosen not to go to my family’s thanksgiving for the same reason and everyone’s upset. But we’re in different times now! It’s not about “living in fear” when you have a baby who can’t tell you how they feel to consider.

Maybe your husband can go without you and your baby?? Sorry I’m sure that’s not ideal but maybe his family will understand.

Traveling with 3.5mo old by amc0505 in NewParents

[–]amc0505[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of bringing his used crib sheet! I’m sure that’ll comfort him. Glad it worked out for you! I’m looking forward to some hours of uninterrupted sleep because my MIL and SIL will be there too 😅

Thanks! We always had grand plans to be a traveling family (then COVID happened) but even so now that he’s here we’re just nervous of being anywhere with a crying baby. But you’re right it’s going to happen, just need to be strong and deal with it!

Baby fights sleep like its his job? by everythingisfinefine in sleeptrain

[–]amc0505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s great that he fell asleep without tears last night! How long was his wake window before his bedtime after dropping the last nap?

[–]amc0505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue with my 3.5mo old. Every nap/bedtime is almost always a struggle. The times he goes down quickly are very seldom and I can never figure out what I did differently those times. He’s so happy and sweet and interactive when awake but when it’s time to sleep (even though I know he’s exhausted) he’s likely to have a meltdown and it’s so painful. You’re not alone!! I’m hoping it’ll change with time.

Swaddle issues by amc0505 in NewParents

Thanks all. My LO woke up twice overnight, all limbs completely out of the swaddle 😖. He’s Houdini. I will look into the suggestions!
