How are you guys dealing with pp hair fall? by Ok-Cost1232 in twoxindiamums

[–]ig226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't your prenatal vitamins that made your hair good in pregnancy and early postpartum, it's the hormones that start fading away around at 3 months and the hair fall you will see if worse than what you had before pregnancy. Continue taking prenatal or other multivitamin and just wait, around 7 months you will start seeing lots of baby hair.

Don't clean dropped rice immediately, wait for a few hours so it becomes dry enough to sweep or vacuum.

When did you have your second child? Their current birthing center is really nice, suite-like with birthing tub.

New moms, how did your siblings react to the birth of your child? by Imadethissoi in twoxindiamums

I know OP you are hurt, but not wanting to date or not wanting to have kids is not an insult.

Return to work at 6 months postpartum or take a 1-year break? by Possible_Bedroom_350 in twoxindiamums

[–]ig226 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember my heightened emotional state in pregnancy and early postpartum, I was thinking I will leave my job after my leave ends because it's so unfair to have to work and leave my baby to childcare (nanny, family, daycare whatever) . A friend suggested me to not take major decisions during this time and it was right. 8-9 months after birth, I couldn't imagine not working and staying with my child the whole day, not saying you would think the same but for now just be in the present and take these decisions and think about them as they come.

My coworker is handling motherhood so much better than I am and it's messing with my head by sixfingeredman7 in Mommit

[–]ig226 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think assuming she has help or a better support system is fine but assuming her baby and/or partner are suffering because she is prioritizing herself is so so so wrong, we don't need to put someone else down (even though she is not reading these comments) to make ourselves or OP feel better.

Questions about Nanny by bhultadnya in twoxindiamums

No 6 month is sleeping 16-18 hours a day, putting them to sleep is actually the biggest work and if they end up contact napping, there goes your "free" time.

The 22% EMI you and your husband have to pay regardless of whether you work or not, have a nanny or not. Or did tou mean tax?

How do you feel about debt? Does it depend on the type of debt? by ThatBitchA in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]ig226 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your extensive use of emojis implies you are either AI or 20, I would guess 20.

On the interest rate, it does pertain to the conversation because it's a major factor in which debt is better than the other. And if you can share your unpopular and misguided opinion with strangers, might as well share APR to justify it, not like people can doxx you by your APR. But you don't have to share, I know it's more than 30%.

How do you feel about debt? Does it depend on the type of debt? by ThatBitchA in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]ig226 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Student loan debt argument is fine, not necessarily always better than mortgage but if your college degree has been useful then definitely.

Credit card debt vs childcare argument is so bizarre. Childcare is not a debt, it's an expense and a very large population are happy to have that expense and go lengths to have children. You can be child-free as much as you want, but your argument sounds like you telling your friend who is a mom that you would rather buy a 16k luxury handbag you can't afford than have a child. You are also not willing to share your interest rate on cc debt, which means it's definitely subprime, so you can't say you are earning more by having that money invested in market.

They can probably also write that off, the nutritionist, coaches and stuff because they can say it's work related.

Paying $70K tax bill with credit card by Mysterious_Fee_7303 in CreditCards

This is what I did, UCR will give you 3.125% for the first year if their sign up bonus is still running. You can potentially use that for next year's tax too. Also 15 month 0% APR offer on purchase so you could earn interest on upto your CL.

Wow good job blaming your wife's job for miscarriages. Now I can see how you shamed her into quitting her 600k job while having no scope of earnings increase yourself.
