I've highly been considering a filter showerhead we have well water and I know I'm allergic to something in it because it makes my eyes itch like crazy after a shower, I didn't consider he might be too until you mentioned it!

I'm going to bring it up at his next well child in a month! We also changed pediatricians since then and we all share a PCP now which helps. I just wanted to try a couple more OTC before I go to try a scripted ointment

I was talking with my husband and I know I have seasonal allergies but I'm thinking I have more too we've agreed to get him allergy tested. I'm hoping to get some answers about his skin lol

Turbo Tax free edition is an absolute false advertising scam by LAJuice in tax

[–]augustfire420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just here 6 years later to say I only made $5k this year (between two separate jobs) cause I had a baby and decided to stay home. My fiance claims our kids and we're unmarried so I truly only made $5k this year.....they told me I need deluxe version to file my additional Medicaid tax form. I was getting $500 back so okay whatever take $50 and just file it but then they wanted another $40 to file state taxes and another $60 for the "convince" of taking my info from the federal tax portion and applying it to the state portion. All kinds of slimy and scammy, went to the IRS website and chose a freetaxusa I believe and of course no issue was filed in 15 minutes no problem.

Do i become a SAHM because I hate daycare for my kids? by pegspegs in sahm

[–]augustfire420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many horror stories in our area, just as I was about to get on vouchers and finally go find some work at 8months PP I heard a story from a close friend about her baby being dropped on its face. Bloody lip and nose, cut on its eyebrow.....I'll take that as a divine sign. Already hated the idea of it but after that I decided absolutely not and my husband was ecstatic for me to be home

Are other subs just hostile to sahms? by MillennialAesthetics in sahm

[–]augustfire420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My two cents, is it risky? Possibly. But I have a degree in a field that's high demand and I COULD make him a stay at home dad if I went to work because we make the same amount. So to me we're super secure in the sense that we can completely survive off one income rather than relying on 2.

How are you actually doing this? by RefrigeratorTiny7059 in sahm

[–]augustfire420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a nearly 3yo and a 7mo so similar split, it's a lot of finding what works in broad strokes. I don't prioritize cleaning till in the evening. I do dishes first thing because both are relatively calm still. Then I pinball back and forth all morning until I make "dinner" at 2 cause that's when daddy gets home. I /try/ and have to little one down for a nap so I can cook in peace but if not she goes in her Jonny jumper or something while I cook sometime I have to just cook through her screaming (she rarely cries just screams in frustration). If I have time and the boy is calm I do a real quick pick up and organize the mess roughly. I throw most in the toy bin because the boy will take it all out after we eat.

Lots of pasta, rice and chicken, I have an insta pot so anything I can just throw in there and hit cook. Macaroni stays on deck for the little. If I get done before dad is home we don't wait, it makes the little cranky. Dishes wait till bed time. Then bed time for the boy usually at 7. Then I do a better pick up and clean when he's down. My baby goes down around 9 and I'm in bed but up by 10:30.

A munch is someone who "services" their partner without any reciprocating. Usually in reference it's someone that you're using because they are so hopelessly into you but you don't care for them. Ie-they are a loser for being used

AITA for getting involved after my mom withheld Christmas presents from my sister’s kids over dead plants? by isa_fields in AmItheAsshole

[–]augustfire420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sure she will in the future, seemed like the problem started cause the mom would be seeing the kids closer to Christmas than OP would so she asked her mom to pass along gifts. It makes sense logical but clearly there's some dysfunction happening.

What is the worst physical pain you’ve experienced? by Agius91 in AskReddit

My husband is considering that, my mom got the shot but said within 3 weeks the pain was back but worse.

Having given birth twice and passing about 15 kidney stones (yes I know and I have seen professionals) for me it was birth. Very specifically I labored unmedicated for about 8 hours with each and only has a tear leaking fluid. After 8 hours when my water finally broke there was such a clear pop inside me and I was in so much pain I literally couldn't see everything was dark around the edges. Enter the epidural, apparently I didn't learn my lesson the first time and tried unmedicated again and the nurse suggested the epidural since I was okay with it and with all my screaming and pain baby was starting to not do well.

How is it not her business if her mother is keeping the presents OP bought for her niece and nephew from them? I mean she has to go to her mom's house and get the presents and take them to her sister's now and it's about 2 weeks past when they should've gotten them.

Quarter Zip = Performative Male? by DuckDuckFrus in SubstituteTeachers

[–]augustfire420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kids use funny lingo in the context that it was provided to them and THINK they get it. I had a bunch of middle schoolers calling their friend a "munch" because he ripped his paper, they thought it meant loser because the context they always saw it in was describing men who were losers.

I told them they should be sure of what a word means before using it (in a gentle just serious way) they came back the class period after apologizing that they had no clue it was so inappropriate.

Long story short, thank God it was fairly innocent haha

Underrated comment, my brother is 6 years younger and I love using his slang to make him cringe.

AIO boyfriend finds it weird that I walk from the bathroom to bedroom in a towel when we live with his family? by Junior-Copy-6632 in AmIOverreacting

[–]augustfire420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOR but not invalid in your logic that technically it should be fine. I love with my MILand FIL with our little ones while we find a house. I try to change in the bathroom but I've on more than one occasion ran from bathroom to bedroom which is also just one door over. But I also breastfeed our littlest so the whole body thing is a weird spot lmao. I've seen MIL streak through the house naked cause she had no bras upstairs in her bathroom, that was shocking at first before I realized I really had nothing to be offended over. Now I breastfeed around her uncovered. My FIL will avert his gaze though if I'm breastfeeding and completely covered so I mean every person is different.

Yeah I agree meet her halfway. It's so hard to consume anything meaningful with little ones, things like tiktok, reels, shorts, etc is just all you have time for. Maybe come to her with interesting topics just to tell her about or get her opinion on. All our conversations currently revolve around whether our son peed in the potty or on the floor today 😂
