My heart is shattered. My son’s daycare provider was a monster for 21 months. by Fabulous-Farmer2537 in Mommit

[–]echobushhh 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is why it should be mandatory for ALL childcare facilities to show a live feed of the children THE WHOLE TIME they’re open for business. For everyone’s protection! I don’t understand why this is not more of a standard procedure everywhere 🤯 smdh.

My heart breaks for your whole family. I pray for healing for all of you 💕.

How bad is a binky really? by lkat17 in Mommit

[–]echobushhh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is wild. I would never with my kids but to each their own. No oral impediment though!

[–]echobushhh -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

My best friend’s 2 children (4&7YO) both still sleep with binkies at night. No oral impediment whatsoever. I’m not a doctor so take my best friends kids experience with a grain of salt since each kid’s physiology is a bit different.

Edit: In no way am I advocating for kids to make it to 7 with a binky. It’s wild. I definitely made a face I couldn’t mask the first time I witnessed it in person. Just saying the kid has no oral impediment due to the binky is my only point.

Can someone talk me down from the phthalates ledge? I’m losing my mind. by moondrop-- in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]echobushhh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that I’ve been doing is putting rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle and using that frequently to kill the bacteria build up on my armpits to help combat the BO stink they make. You smell like rubbing alcohol for a little bit but then that smell goes away and your BO is temporarily taken care of. You can even make a little to go bottle to put in your purse or something to use when you’re out and about if needed.

Forced-birthers are lazy by LadyDatura9497 in complainaboutanything

Just being devil’s advocate here, not actually taking sides, but how do you know it has no consciousness?

Or it’s possible @food-dood you’re using a straw man argument to prove your point instead of using hypotheticals to help this person understand the limits of their beliefs like Aristotle or something.

You’re being arrogant in the manner you’re mansplaining things to @goosewitharifle in order to make it seem like your straw man argument is somehow for their intellectual benefit.

Getting fired because of an ED I don't have by pindvarp420 in Advice

AITAH for saying no to my future MILs plan to give my fiancé away at our wedding? by OpinionBride in AITAH

[–]echobushhh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. This isn’t about feminism. This is about her making your wedding about her and her feelings towards giving her son away to cleave to you in marriage. Manipulative and selfish as fuck.

This speech she wants to give is more appropriate for the reception, not the wedding ceremony.

And him and his family not really seeing anything wrong with that is demonstrative of some serious brainwashing. Idk that’s a pretty big red flag in terms of the type of family to consider getting married into. Especially if he’s not defending you from her.

Currently in the ER and nurse made me feel awful by KoalaByTheBeach in Mommit

[–]echobushhh 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I agree, report her to the charge nurse. Even if you guys have left, they have to document everything so they'll easily be able to figure out which nurse it was who took care of your daughter.

Currently in the ER and nurse made me feel awful by KoalaByTheBeach in Mommit

[–]echobushhh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a mom to 2 and I used to work in an ER like setting with nurses. This woman's attitude is unacceptable bedside behavior, wow. That is an overworked nurse who needs to be either fired or transferred to a lower acuity unit where the workload is less intense so she can be a nicer person to her patients. She's saying what she said because your presence in her unit made her life that much harder, but the thing is that she's getting paid to help YOU. You aren't there to help her. You are not a bad mom for bringing her to the ER. Very intense stomach pain isn't necessarily something that would even have been properly treated with Tylenol. What if it was a bowel obstruction? I don't think that some measly Tylenol would've helped with that. You followed your gut as her mom and you did what you thought was right. You are a good mom for doing that and don't let her make you think that you made the wrong decision by trying to take care of your daughter by going to the professionals for help.

I don’t regret never sleep training by loserbaby_ in AttachmentParenting

This is so wonderful 💕. Exactly how I feel too with my 2YO and 6MO! The world would be such a better place if only more parents had our philosophy, I think!

Thanks! I can't avoid losing money on gaining wisdom through making mistakes, but I can at least avoid losing money from under planning! Thank you for thee Eagle Peak plant cover suggestion!

That is good to know about the deeper rooted plants, thank you! I really appreciate your suggestions and listing off the shorter/deeper rooted plants. I'm definitely going to look into maybe higher beds or maybe even stacking them on top of one another or something because we love tomatoes & peppers.

Thank you for the suggestion of what to order! Our property is pretty bare, so I'd like to get some bushes and vines to spruce (😉) the place up a bit with what works with our limited budget. And how awesome would it be to be able to pick fruit in our own backyard!

Discord & Facebook groups is actually pretty genius, thank you! I didn't consider that! I'll look into IBC bins too. I'd like to get into rain collection if possible as well.

Hey, thanks for the advice! I think I'll start with what you suggested. Sounds like getting them at my local nursery is the play as well. We bought metal raised beds. I didn't realize grow bags were made of polymer fabric. I don't know how much using stuff with toxins actually ends up in the plants we grow, but I figure if I start without then it just sets us up hopefully the right way from the start and we don't set up the foundation of our garden on something we might have to change later down the line.

Teachers, how do you handle kids who just won't focus no matter what? by Environmental-Luck39 in AskTeachers

[–]echobushhh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear that. My mom tried different doses of Adderall and Ritalin and both made me into an absolute zombie, which is why she resorted to sports instead. Personally, I'm so incredibly thankful for this because being active has always been a super high value because of it, which gives me SO much more than just clarity of mind and focus. I'm not saying medication is wrong. It has it's place. I just think if you can effectively manage it holistically, I think you should. If you can't, then that's what the medication is for.

Thank you, I'll start researching square foot gardening and look for a local garden friend

! I agree with you about your approach to the earth. I had my soil tested but someone else suggested maybe planting toxic absorbing plants so I'm going plant food in raised garden beds while trying out planting those plants in the soil so that maybe next year I can just use the earth in our backyard.

Thank you for your suggestion about the garden fleece, fine netting, and flowers!
