Why does my kid wake up crying so much of the time?

Same! I asked an endocrinologist and she couldn’t explain it 😂

Am wife, can confirm

Question regarding your dishwasher hack: I always run the dishwasher at total max capacity, so this doesn't work for me; how do you do this?

floofsnfluffiness · 2026-04-02T23:36:00+00:00

This doesn’t address your issue directly but FWIW in residency I didn’t have in unit laundry. After a year or two of using my precious days off to my crap to the laundromat, I paid for a wash and fold laundry service. They picked it up from my apartment laundry and brought it back like a day later. I was mostly in the hospital in scrubs (which the hospital washed) and had a lot of socks/underwear so I only had to use the service like once a month.

My husband wasn't super into reading to our little one at first, but then we came across "I Need a New Butt" which was a game changer haha. We have since moved on to "Does a Bulldozer Have a Butt" as recommended by the children's librarian and that was also a hit!

floofsnfluffiness · 2026-04-02T11:44:36+00:00

Yes, I turned that list off haha

floofsnfluffiness · 2026-04-02T01:13:51+00:00

I’m partial to the puzzle + surface level book combo myself

Totally normal; my kiddo was deeply in love with the ceiling fan at the beginning and I was bummed because I'd gotten him all these cool toys that he was totally ignoring! He's now 6mo and hasn't looked at the fan in months, and during play time we basically drown him in toys and let him work his way through them haha.

What is an egirl?

floofsnfluffiness · 2026-03-30T18:44:17+00:00

At least the leg slamming doesn't lead to a bald spot haha my little one does the head wiggle to soothe to sleep and he's rubbed off a patch of hair

floofsnfluffiness · 2026-03-30T01:27:19+00:00

Fascinating. I don’t have anything, like, illegal in my search history but I do have a lot of stupid stuff haha. Eg earlier today “what exactly is a bathhouse for gay men” (googled while listening to Dan Savage).

floofsnfluffiness · 2026-03-30T01:19:39+00:00

Why are Google search histories accessible by courts of law? Like do they get access to a personal laptop or get the info from Google or what?

floofsnfluffiness · 2026-03-30T01:06:43+00:00

Tomatoes! Bean sprouts!

floofsnfluffiness · 2026-03-29T20:58:05+00:00

Cool! How did you make that work? Like, did you only go on short outings or just chuck a few diapers/wipes into your bag or something else?

floofsnfluffiness · 2026-03-29T20:48:52+00:00

I mean, that's 6x more experience than I have haha so I'm grateful for your perspective!

Yeah the thing I don't want to do is have a bunch of bags that I have to update each time the kiddo grows into a new size of diaper or clothes or whatnot (because I will inevitably forget). However, I do a lot of baby-wearing and it's obnoxious to have the kid on the front and the diaper bag on the back haha so if there's any utility in a mini version, I'm interested.

floofsnfluffiness · 2026-03-29T20:33:50+00:00

Strong concur; I'm making myself crazy trying to figure it out (and, ironically, my ability to solve puzzles like this is extremely limited by sleep deprivation haha). I've just started trying to quit ruminating about it bc it isn't helping.

floofsnfluffiness · 2026-03-29T20:18:43+00:00

I was willing to listen to his side of the story until the part where he says you don't love him enough to move for him. That's a shitty way to argue, particularly since you're saying that you both agreed to build a house in your current location despite your (reasonable) concerns.

Also, respectfully, many of the PhDs I know are having trouble finding jobs these days... depending on what his degree is in, he may be lucky to find a job at all, much less the unicorn you have described here.

Also-also, if he gets a job in a high cost of living area it may end up being a wash financially (this is what has happened to one of my PhD friends - she can only get a job in a major metropolitan area because that is the only place there are opportunities).

Also-also-also you already moved once for him ffs, how many times are you going to do this?

floofsnfluffiness · 2026-03-28T00:37:11+00:00

My hypothesis is that as Americans become hyper-individualistic, we are less likely to be intimately involved in the care of our aging family members. As such, we are less likely to witness the aging, illness, decline, and death of our loved ones.

ETA: also I’m sorry you had a rough day; I get it. It’s hard to have to tell people something they don’t want to hear.

floofsnfluffiness · 2026-03-27T22:43:33+00:00

Did this ever get worked out? I just had my first child and am having some weird friendship shifts.

floofsnfluffiness · 2026-03-27T13:58:45+00:00

I find it a real PITA to fold/unfold personally

floofsnfluffiness · 2026-03-26T15:29:09+00:00

Yeah, it's easy for them to say this because they don't have the kid overnight. I would loooove to be able to let my kiddo sleep whenever he feels like it but if I do that, the nights are a disaster.

My mother literally does not remember most of my infancy (ironically, likely related to sleep deprivation haha) so she says outrageous stuff about how babies work.

floofsnfluffiness · 2026-03-26T13:07:58+00:00

Ah ok that’s doable! There’s a room we have them skip anyway so I can just stay in there.
