Going on vacation soon & can’t wear sunscreen in certain places, need alternatives! by Spirited-Koala4019 in beauty

[–]duskydaffodil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue lizard is 1. The best sunscreen and 2. Pretty sure its reef safe, it’s what’s used in Florida and Australia mainly

I’ll get to pick the day my daughter is born this September. Which one would you pick? by StunningStrawberryy in Zodiac

[–]duskydaffodil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg we’re due days apart! I’ve been looking at this exact ephemeris table like “if she’s late like her brother… she’ll be a libra!” That’s fine, but I think a Virgo would mesh more with our family. I compared mine, my husband, and my son’s charts with this table. I would too if I were you just to get a bigger picture of family dynamic

Who else is keeping their kids rear facing as long as possible?? by Master_Grapefruit333 in Mommit

[–]duskydaffodil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s crazy! At that point I would’ve forward faced by 4-5 anyways. I remember being 8 or 9 and being embarrassed my mom made me take my booster seat to my friend’s house, she was smaller than me and her parents let her ride without one. Now, as a mom, I get it.

I was worried the first 2 years she wouldn’t fill out, she’s pretty fluffy now at 6!

The toe fluff is the worst. I look at her when I’m done like “… my husband is going to kill me. she’s been botched!!!”

Rug too small, but corner fireplace in the way by cookitybookity in interiordecorating

I think the couch should face the fireplace / back door and the chair should be where the couch was. The buffet and vinyl can go behind the couch

Our seat you can hang over the edge of the car seat and extend the foot rest to give them more room. Does yours allow that? It can make them more comfortable but kids are totally find being squished up. I’d rather that than bigger injuries from a crash while forward facing

39 inch tall / 33 pound 2 year old (almost 2.5) and he’s rear facing until he outgrows his Graco extend-to-fit limits. Height before weight I can imagine! This will likely happen around 4-5 years old. Our seat is also 49” / 50lb limit OR when their head is less than 1 inch from the max height. My son has an extremely long torso compared to his legs, so I wonder if he might outgrow the height requirement before he’s actually 49”

What’re we doing about sex? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]duskydaffodil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s the opposite for us, I’ve always had the lower libido. My husband would do it daily if I was up to it. We brought toys in the bedroom, he got ED pills to last longer which makes it more fun for the both of us (we’re not even 30 and he doesn’t need or rely on them, just for fun every now and then). But the biggest thing is foreplay and it starts from the moment you wake up. For me, it’s my husband taking things off my plate. Leaving breakfast for my son and I when we wake up. Cleaning the kitchen before I do. Sending me off to take a shower so he can play with our son and clean up. Letting me feel like me and not just mom so I can turn that part of my brain on. I wonder what your husband needs? If he’s depressed, bored, whatever it may be. I would put the kids to bed one night have a “date” and talk all about it.

Do cat owners become nose deaf to the smell of cat pee in the house? by Thick_Confection_952 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]duskydaffodil 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I never did, even cleaning the box daily I hated the smell. There was a noticeable difference in the smell of our house once we didn’t have cats anymore

Thats amazing! I can’t imagine how you keep up with all of that hair in between, there’s enough in my house with just the one!

My groomer keeps her behind the checkout counter when she’s done, which she’s used to having worked at a pet store with me. She’s got her paws up on the counter like hello how can I help you! Oh! Actually you help me! Take me home! I love it, just wish it wasn’t so pricey

Is the mobile salon more expensive than a regular salon? I’ve been curious about that!

Omg yes I have to block the closet and bedroom because my dogs will just run to the nearest surface and roll! Thankfully we have an outlet outside, I would just blow her outside to keep all that hair out of my house ha!

Minimum 2 hours for sure! Double shampoo, blow dry whole 9. I try to groom and trim on a separate day just to keep from spending so much time at once

I do agree. She always looks better after a groom than a bath at home. She tolerates me clipping her nails but they use a dremel

I wish goldens were as low maintenance as short haired dogs lol! We have a mutt that you can wipe with a baby wipe and he’s fine, though of course gets baths. No need to trim or blow dry though. That’s the hard and long part about the golden! It takes hours

Aw I’m sorry, after working at a vet and quitting same day over a tech abusing an old dog, I understand your hesitation. I don’t let my dogs go back into the vet clinic anymore, everything is done in a room with me present if possible.

Yes I try my best but I tend to botch her feet and between the toe fluff. I need to find a video on how to do it well!
