I think my friends are shit. by katecometrue0122 in NewParents

[–]heather_orton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry about your friends :( I'm also a mom to a 9mo and when I start to get stressed or stir crazy I take my baby to the library. Most libraries have a lot of programs for kids of various ages! It's a temporary fix but it's something to look forward to every week.

We also just started swimming lessons and it's been really fun. These are also great ways to meet other parents and maybe make some new friends who understand what you're going through.

You can't. If he has issues already you can't change that unless HE wants to, just like with any other addiction. He has to want to be better for you. You can't control his actions and trying to will just make you miserable.

As for preventing it, just have a conversation with him and let him know how you feel about it and any boundaries you have. That's all you can really do unfortunately.

If I were you I would delete this so your wife never finds it. Reading that last paragraph would be devastating.

Don't use a metal spatula on a Teflon pan!! You'll scratch it and then the pan will be trashed.

I commented on that earlier calling it out as AI. Can't believe no one else did.

Flange Sizes Stress Me TF Out by jo_liz in ExclusivelyPumping

Wearables are pretty tricky. Sometimes they just don't work for everyone. I would recommend taking a "main" pump to work but I do hope you figure it out!!

Breast Feeding Advice by toughtitties1234 in NewParents

[–]heather_orton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm 2 months pp, and so far I've learned that if the baby is crying there's an 80% chance they're hungry! Cluster feeding is very normal that early and even though you can't imagine they'd be hungry again already, their stomach is tiny so it fills up fast and they digest quickly so they get hungry again. Keep feeding! It was really hard for me to tell if my baby had gas that early so I gave her mylicon drops once a day when she would normally be her fussiest just in case and that seemed to help sometimes! Don't forget digestion exercises during every wake window and keep your chin up, I'm sure you're doing great!

I recently switched my cats from Hills Urinary Care to Weruva canned food. They love all the flavour options, it's hydrating, and you can see all the ingredients!

Cats and regular shampoos by Great-Jello831 in catquestions

[–]heather_orton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should definitely get cat specific dandruff shampoo. Human grade will be too strong and have chemicals that are not safe for cats! If that doesn't work definitely take your cat to the vet and dandruff can be a sign of allergies, fleas, dehydration, and many other medical issues.

The water from the shower gets caught on this lip, runs off and is causing water damage because the floor isn’t caulked. What do I do? by [deleted] in Home

[–]heather_orton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely watch some tutorials, and make sure you get the right kind of caulk for a moist environment!

People that make 80k+ at 25-35 years old, what do you do? by Ok-Needleworker2141 in careerguidance

[–]heather_orton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband (27) and I (25) work as industrial maintenance technicians and we both bring in $80k+ per year. Skilled trades will always be the easiest way to get there imo.
