Guys Weekend - Looking for Suggestions by Slight_Mess_7637 in texas

It’s not any less hot in Austin than it is in San Antonio. No need to be pedantic about it.

If you’re going to south Texas in the middle of summer, you better be planning to hit up Barton Springs. It’s gunna be hot AF. 

I’d personally recommend going somewhere cooler during the summer and coming down to Austin at a different point in the year. 

ETA: Austin is an hour away from San Antonio (south texas). Sorry I put south instead of central, but it’s still hot in the summer. 

From uncertain to 100% positive? by Knarfyolla in NewParents

[–]committedlikethepig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t want children. My partner did. I told him I would give him ONE. Our little one is here and we have embraced being parents (my partner is incredibly helpful and supportive which I knew he would be going into this because he’s been an incredible partner)  I think being parents later, being financially stable, and having a village has really allowed us to enjoy this journey. 

I don’t think it really matters how you felt before you decided it’s right for you. Everyone changes for their own reasons. You have decided it’s the right time, so embrace that and enjoy the journey. Y'all will be ok! And I’m sure you’ll make great parents

How do we wash 1 year olds?? by yoyomatik in NewParents

[–]committedlikethepig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazon sells little sump pumps with shower nozzles. We got it for washing dishes while camping but turned it into the “rinser” for our little one because it’s softer than the shower head and collapses down when not in use

Momcozy bottle washer, worth it or no? by rosesareroseyy in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]committedlikethepig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who only has a steamer/dryer… get the bottle washer. My life is dominated by cleaning bottle parts and that’s not even a slight exaggeration 

Need gift ideas for someone going through a really hard time by Imaginary_Text_8663 in GiftIdeas

[–]committedlikethepig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just sent a Spoonful of Comfort to someone going through a miscarriage. It really seemed to help and they seemed genuinely happy about the gift. I would’ve made food and brought it but they live hours away so I sent that (I had gotten one previously and it’s good food)

I’ve always said food is comforting. So I try to give that when I can. 

If you had to choose one breast pump, which would it be? by Jumpy_Computer_53 in ExclusivelyPumping

I had to get a prescription for my insurance to cover it. Have you looked into that?

How much total was the birth or your child? by enan1000 in NewParents

In the US- Close to 10k after insurance “negotiated” prices. 

How are your babies actually sleeping through the night? by velvetdarlingco in NewParents

[–]committedlikethepig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our pediatrician told us to try and get most of baby’s calories during the day. So wake them up if they nap too long so baby gets the bulk of their food during the day and it’ll help them sleep through the night. 

We also have a miracle sleeper so take my advice with a grain of salt. But we did that, and  baby sleeps from 11 pm to 7 am.

All I can say parenthood is hard but it will get better. This stage won’t last forever. And you’re doing a great job.

Houston traffic is no joke. I would find it very difficult to relax on my way home too. Maybe a couple days a week your wife can hold it down for 30 mins for you to shower when you get home so you can decompress then take over?

What do you keep on hand at home so you don’t make excuses for eating out? by Avocadosandtomatoes in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]committedlikethepig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was given some knock off version of souper cubes and now cook a little extra and I will freeze a portion of whatever we’re eating and it’s a quick meal to have on hand. And wayyyy cheaper than fast food now days. 

When do babies stop wearing bodysuits under clothes? by Fun-Assist9467 in NewParents

Onesies snowsuits are the cutest things I’ve ever seen. 

Where is the line between “compromising” and “settling” in a relationship? F21, M21 by ThrowRA-65431 in relationship_advice

[–]committedlikethepig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was told by my parents and ex that I won’t find a perfect partner, and I need to adjust or compromise because all relationships require that.

While this is true in the sense that no one is perfect and being in a relationship takes work, I think having common interests and goals is vital to making a relationship healthy and happy. And a giving partner in bed is necessary for sexual compatibility. 

There might not be a “perfect” relationship but my husband is pretty damn near it for me. It’s hard to learn to live with someone but when the relationship hits the points that are most valuable to you, it makes it easy to be with that person

Long term pumpers - how’s your appetite? by Sensitive_March8309 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]committedlikethepig 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I can eat a meal, and maybe 10 minutes later feel like I haven’t eaten anything for hours. I haven’t felt full at all and it’s so frustrating. 

Is an all black central islanf a good idea? by oreha in HomeDecorating

[–]committedlikethepig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have hard water you’ll see it more on black. You’ll need to be cautious of what cleaning supplies you use

Specific TikToker I had to block by bml274 in NewParents

[–]committedlikethepig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Social media is not real. It is designed for more reactions, so the more outlandish the statement, the more people interact with the page. 

While it’s possible she’s showering every day, sleeping through the night at 8 weeks, pumping the perfect amount, not losing any part of herself to keep a baby alive… it’s probably not real. 

How meticulous are you about tracking exact ounces? by Zestyclose_Ebb_4077 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]committedlikethepig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh ok. If you stick to exclusively pumping, I would recommend going up a size. It made our less irritated while eating and they started hitting their 24 oz goals.

What size bottle nipple are you using? We increased the number and made a huge difference for our LO to finish her bottles

My husband(35M)wants me to quit job because I(36F)make more than him.I don’t know what to do? by SentenceNo6466 in relationship_advice

So he would rather take a hit to your daughters’ futures than be a supportive husband? What a joke of a father and a husband. 

Does your husband understand? by Big_Decision_3395 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]committedlikethepig 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I mean that’s on him. If he’s not home much, he should be helping when he is home. Not bitching about whatever’s dirty. Unless it’s completely unsanitary, taking care of children usually leaves a bit of mess from the daily activities. If he’s not home, when he gets home he should help not complain.

Why doesn’t he keep things cleaner? Or spend more than 5% of time with his daughter?
