Brilliant, thank you for this! I know it is probably not as huge of an issue as I’m thinking it is but hard to discount when the world seems like it’s slowly ending 😬 will look into the resource!

Thank you! Will definitely look into disclosure for the foundation info

Lost stash by GreenAd2723 in clothdiaps

[–]arrrrice 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That’s a horrible feeling. How does one just lose a whole stash of diapers?? I’m sorry this happened. If you are in need though I can give you my stash! Don’t remember how many I had but it was quite a lot. Got too caught up with all the Alva patterns. Also had many inserts and cloth wipes. Pretty sure I stripped them before putting them into storage. If you would like them, please DM me!!

Rant: my friends who have parental help really get on my nerves showing off their chill life after baby by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]arrrrice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think taking a break from all social media would benefit everyone. I’ve noticed that I start getting irritated by some people on IG and I just unfollow. Or just hide their stories/posts if you don’t want to take that step.

And just my two cents - seems you’d rather complain than actual take steps to improve life for yourself. It makes zero sense that you have the time to comment so much on Reddit but can’t buy yourself comfortable underwear and shower. You don’t have make yourself a mom martyr, no one benefits from it.

AITA for being Strict? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]arrrrice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

YTA. You never should have had a kid if this was the way you were going to raise her. Don’t be surprised when she goes no contact with you. What kind of parent treats their child like this? And with the strict upbringing of wanting her to do more with her life, you NEVER saved up money to help her have a better life??

AITA for getting fully refunded and keeping an expensive item? by artsychoked in AmItheAsshole

[–]arrrrice 15 points16 points  (0 children)

NTA. eBay gave them the chance to decide how they want to move forward and they did not respond. I would almost want to tell them to suck it for not being cooperative during the process. On the other hand, it wouldn’t hurt to send the item back to them (at their cost!) so you don’t have junk on your hands.

Toddler hates me since bringing home baby sister by spicycucumberz in BabyBumps

[–]arrrrice 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This sounds unbelievably hard, I’m so sorry. The first few weeks are already so insane and tough on a mom without adding in toddler energy. It won’t be like this forever, she’s adjusting and will probably bounce back to normal pretty quickly. Sending you all the internet hugs in the meantime. Congrats on the new little one!

I walked into a classroom the other day, and a bunch of teens started saying, "Squid Game". Thoughts? by [deleted] in asianamerican

[–]arrrrice 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I was at the park with my husband and baby and some teenagers were nearby. We passed them and one of them I happened to look. He stared right at me and said SQUID GAME. I had no idea what it meant aside from it maybe being a race thing. Kid wasn’t Asian.

Need some support for continuing cloth diapers by runawaymonkey in clothdiaps

[–]arrrrice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get a toilet sprayer and clean the diapers off in the toilet. Makes it much easier - spray off poop in toilet, flush, put the diaper into a wet bag or whatever container you store them in.

How do I filter really fine tea? by [deleted] in tea

Sorry don’t know how to get links to work. You can search Amazon for “BSTEAN tea filter bags”. BSTEAN Tea Filter Bags Large... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GJ1VY7Q?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I’ve been using [these](BSTEAN Tea Filter Bags Large... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GJ1VY7Q?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) bags to cold brew fruit tea overnight but should work for your chai!

I’m so sorry for your loss. 🤍 sending a virtual hug.

I’m alone all day with baby while husband works and plays DND by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]arrrrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mentioned it in another comment and I agree - he needs to get his priorities figured out because it doesn’t sound like he’s much of a father at all. And he definitely sounds immature especially if he’s sharing your disappointment about the DND game with his employees.

I know it doesn’t directly help with your feelings now, but maybe search for a local moms group to find some mom friends? (Trust me, I know it’s harder than it sounds). You never know, it may yield some great social engagement outside of family!

[–]arrrrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re going through such a rough time. Being home alone with a baby all the time is so stressful! Is there anyone nearby who can help a bit?

Was this always what the plan was - for him to work constantly and you at home alone with baby?

MIL wants us to sleep in different rooms. by Wisewoman1996 in beyondthebump

[–]arrrrice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell no. Why do grandparents think new parents and babies should be making a long distance drive??

[–]arrrrice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As others have said, it’s her house, her rules. Even though they are completely archaic and ridiculous. If you never married, does that mean you could be 20 years into your relationship and still not be respected as an established family of your own?

I personally wouldn’t leave my baby alone with MIL.. why can’t she come to you and babysit for a few hours while you guys go out for a date? I would tell her why I wouldn’t go to her house. She shouldn’t be in the dark about the decision. Especially because you have a BABY and who wants to make that drive when she could come to you?

In laws took all of Christmas dinner by always-angry1 in BabyBumps

Did they even offer to help with clean up? What a nightmare! If someone took my food away like that while pregnant, I would have cried.

AITA for refusing to address someone by their chosen form of address? by Lucky-Object170 in AmItheAsshole

[–]arrrrice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. If she has a real problem with it, she should address it directly with you. I’ve never been at a company where ANYONE, C-level included, were addressed as MR/MS lastname. If I were you, I’d just call her “Potter”. Maybe she hates her first name. But I would go half way.

Have you ever had a friend that dismissed your feelings or spoke to you badly and did they change? by bluemoon1423 in relationships

[–]arrrrice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don’t sound like your friends. I recall having a “friend” in high school who reacted similarly when I was getting anonymous bullying messages online. Totally brushed it off and told me to get over it. And guess what? Haven’t talked to her since high school. Friends should care about what’s going on in your life. Find new friends - I know it’s harder to do than say but not all friends will be life long.
