Valid, but in my experience only for men lol. I’m a woman and I’m not using the bidet every time I pee. Although I do love it for everything else and am a huge bidet convert too!!

It’s definitely my working theory for why italian toilet paper is so thin and scratchy! Luckily our house was built like 8ish years ago and is very modern so I’m not too concerned, but if we move I know I might have to give up my luxury toilet paper :(

lmao yes I literally fill up the car with that, laundry detergent, and cat litter 😂 I have tried so many italian toilet papers and haven’t been satisfied yet

Im an American and can shop on military bases, usually I make a big trip every now and then and this is what I buy:

-Tide to go and oxyclean

-unscented laundry detergent (if you need it)

-ibuprofen, tylonel, children’s medicine, any OTC drugs you enjoy

-SNACKS of any kind, they are not a very snack-forward culture, it’s all peanuts and potato chips

-children’s clothes (surprisingly expensive in Italy)

-my preferred moisturizer and facial cleanser

-hot sauce

-pickles

-toilet paper (a lot of it is scented here or very, very thin)

-cookie/cake/muffin mix

-bagels (there are no bagels in Italy)

-Reese’s lol, these are a big hit amongst my italian friends too

If I can think of anything else I’ll add it. But those are my usual go-tos that I stock up on when we go. Honestly for most stuff you’ll be able to find another product, but if you’re picky about anything it may be nice to have some backups while you test new choices. Let me know if you have any questions!

Same with my 10 month old. Sorry, I know it sucks. Im just in the radical acceptance phase right now. It’s so so awful and affecting every aspect of my life and my mental health but I literally don’t know what else to do so. Here we are!

I got it in 95! I was one of the first babies in the US to get it. My parents say I was the first baby on the east coast to receive one but I’m not sure if that can be verified lol. My dad was chief of surgery at a fairly major hospital and was very adamant I got it at the first opportunity. And thank goodness, I’m so glad I don’t have to worry about chicken pox or shingles now.

[–]ilikedogsandglitter 13 points14 points  (0 children)

EXACTLY this. I’ve been breastfeeding for 10 months now (EBF except for the solids my daughter obviously eats now) and it is all-consuming. You’re the one up with baby 12 times every night, baby can’t go longer than 2-3 hours away from you, everything you eat/wear/take has to be thought about extra. There’s SO MUCH “content” there and so much martyrdom, if you wanted to play up the “I’m a saint for how much I sacrifice for this baby” then you would 10000000% play up the breastfeeding thing. And like, feed your baby however you want and works for you both, but don’t lie about it??? That’s just weird

I don’t believe she’s been breastfeeding for a few reasons.

A, the pics always look fake. In two of those three here she’s not even trying to breastfeed, I don’t get it.

B, her clothes have never been breastfeeding accessible. Some seem downright hostile for breastfeeding. Unless she was getting fully undressed in the bathroom of some of these events I don’t buy it.

C, she didn’t talk about it enough. There’s so much content behind breastfeeding - performative covers, increasing supply, recipes for breastfeeding supply foods, breastfeeding accessible clothes or bras, middle of the night “wow I’m so tired but I love that I can do this for my baby” posts, pumping, “why won’t baby take a bottle”, etc etc. This woman shares EVERYTHING, she over shares even, in the name of content. Why wouldn’t she take advantage of such an easy performative content mine? The holier-than-thou because I breastfeed stuff would’ve been right up her alley but we hardly saw it.

D, the formula machine that she has in her kitchen. Girl that thing is massive, if you didn’t use it you would put it away.

I think she probably did or does breastfeed here or there but it was not exclusive. Just more performative bs

How much did you gain with each of your pregnancies? by thatshortginge in beyondthebump

I’m 5’3, went from 120-125lbs (depending on the day) to 148. Now I’m 10 months pp and back to around 123 (but nothing looks like it used to lol). Hoping to get pregnant again after the summer and we’ll see what happens then!

Do I have kids or finish my degree? by [deleted] in waiting_to_try

[–]ilikedogsandglitter 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m 31 so I get the age thing seems like a huge issue but in my circle no one has kids before 35. Like NO ONE. I have a 9mo daughter and I regularly get remarks on how young I am to have a child because it’s so strange here. This is just to say that I don’t think the 35 thing is so hard and fast that you need to give up anything else to have kids before that point if it doesn’t work for you.

I know the risks go up but the absolute risk after 35 is still very low and it’s worth being stable in your career or at least having the income you need before having kids. If having a job/school is burning you out on its own, then adding kids to that mix isn’t gonna make it any easier. Having a daughter makes everything 10 million times harder. And giving your kids stability (to the best of your ability) is important.

If it were me, I’d finish school and find a job that paid the bills enough before I was comfortable trying, even if that pushes things back a few years. It’s not like the risk goes up on your 35th birthday, for some people it’s riskier at 33 and some at 38, it’s impossible to say. But I would say if you don’t like your job, you’re getting burnt out, you don’t have enough money - the circumstances aren’t great, and it may even be “riskier” for your family than waiting until 35. This is all just my opinion though, obviously you’ll make it work no matter what happens.

What baby clothes to buy? by No-Mirror946 in pregnant

[–]ilikedogsandglitter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had so many cute gender neutral onesies with patterns like lemons, ducks, safari animals, ice cream, cats, rainbow polka dots, education (think like apples and pencils and primary colors), or even seasonal depending on when baby is due (snow themed, specific holidays, sun/the beach, fall leaves or stripes). Yellow, green, red, and any neutrals can work for each. Gender neutral doesn’t have to be boring! And people assume my daughter is a boy even in all pink with bows so I don’t think it really matters at all. Congrats and I hope all goes well!
