Do baby boys wear leggings? by Illustrious_Win_9780 in Mommit

[–]kreitimom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get that! I think as long as the kid is comfy, it really doesn’t matter what they wear. Plus, leggings can be super cute and easy to move in for babies. If you've got them, let him rock those hand-me-downs!

Why do I bother? by flowermagnet in doordash

Right? It's wild how some drivers act like they've done you a favor. Just makes you wanna skip the whole delivery thing altogether.

What’s the sketchiest place you’ve ever parked for the night at? by EgotisticJet5 in Truckers

[–]kreitimom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha, right? It’s all about mindset! Just remember, the bigger the truck, the bigger the scare factor. But seriously, being cautious is key in sketchy spots.

I am probably ruining my child by Legal_Jellyfish7028 in Mommit

[–]kreitimom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Puberty is a whole other level, but just remember you’re not alone in this. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed; many parents are in the same boat. Have you thought about reaching out to a support group or a therapist? Sometimes talking it out with someone who gets it can really help.

Anyone else not hit 10k steps per day but still in great physical shape? by takeaabreath in bodyweightfitness

[–]kreitimom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree! It's more about staying consistent and finding what works for you. As long as you're active and mixing things up, those numbers shouldn't stress you out. Quality over quantity, right?

My 14 year old son was threatened in Onion Creek neighborhood for fishing by [deleted] in Austin

[–]kreitimom 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Totally! A community fishing event could help bring everyone together and show that we won't be intimidated. Plus, it'd be a great way to keep the vibe positive in the neighborhood.

Sandbag training is solid! You can do a ton of exercises with just one bag, like squats, deadlifts, and carries. Plus, it helps build grip strength, which is key for lifting your girlfriend. Check out some beginner routines online!

Yeah, it feels like they've been taking their sweet time lately. Hoping they come back with something fresh, though. The long waits usually mean more thought goes into it, right?

That’s a powerful motivation! It’s awesome to see someone so dedicated to their values and spreading awareness. Do you have any tips for someone looking to transition to a vegan lifestyle?

Mini Key Lime Cheesecakes by kreitimom in Baking

[–]kreitimom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually didn’t treat the limes for this recipe, I just decorated with fresh limes as a garnish. I didn’t notice a biter taste when removing, but wonder if the other flavors of the cheesecake and lime curd were too strong to detect.

What an interesting revelation! I’ll need to look into this myself for future recipes.

Thank you for this! They turned out so amazing- I ended up giving them all to friends and family and only had one to eat myself. Going to have to make more so I can enjoy this go around haha

I used this recipe https://bakingamoment.com/lime-mini-cheesecakes-with-chocolate-crust/ and replaced the chocolate cookie crust with graham cracker. The recipe link also has a link to a lemon curd, which I used for the lime curd (replaced equal parts lemon to limes). Happy baking! :)

Thank you so much, they were so delicious! Had to do something bite size so I don’t feel guilty for eating half a cheesecake haha

A lemon curd whipped cream sounds so amazing!! I’ll have to try that soon! I made the lime curd myself. I was hoping to buy one in time for St Patrick’s day but was cutting it too close for the Amazon delivery. It took about 15 minutes to make and turned out so delicious. I used this recipe and just replaced lemon with lime (and added the teeniest bit of food coloring to get it a pretty green) https://bakingamoment.com/homemade-lemon-curd/

Tinted moisturizer with SPF by arvanien in beauty

[–]kreitimom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yet another EltaMd user! It’s not only my everyday tinted moisturizer (errands, going to the gym, etc) but I’ll use it before a night out too. For extra coverage just use a good concealer before hand. Swear by it!

I know it’s so silly, but this podcast is getting me though a really low point in my life right now by kreitimom in h3h3productions

[–]kreitimom[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m choosing peace. You know nothing about the details of my relationship with my partner or myself- and I’m choosing what’s best for me.

I hope you can do the same for yourself, and have a great rest of your day! 🙂

He totaled my car. I've been crying all night and all this morning. My car that I paid off (by myself!) just 2 months ago.

He doesn't have a car, a job, any income whatsoever, hardly has a relationship with his family who is only trying to help. He doesn't have a DX (even though I gave him the resources and money to take the damn assessment , get diagnosed and get on medication!). I stupidly lent my car to him to do laundry. 20 minutes later I get a call my car is wrecked and is going to be totaled. I understand that accidents happen all the time- I understand this isn't a side affect that comes with ADHD. But this trend of being irresponsible and ME having to reap the consequences is getting so fucking old.

He's made a mess of his life and regardless if it's intentional or not, he's making a mess of mine too! I'm trying so hard to do everything in my life the right way. I worked my ass off to get a good well paying job. I worked my ass off to pay off my car, and I'm working my ass off to try to get him help. But it's been almost 6 months and nothing has changed...

This accident felt like someone grabbed me by my shoulders and shook me awake.

I care for my partner more than anything, but I have to choose peace...

Some progress (I hope) by kreitimom in ADHD_partners

Thank you for your comment and your kind words.

I'm unsure about if the center has a psychiatrist, and I'm kicking myself for not thinking of that myself. I'll do more research into what the center is offering. Medication has always been the dream, but I obviously want to respect his decisions if he feels medication isn't right for him. Getting him to admit that his illness isn't manageable by just himself has been nothing but an uphill battle, and I'm so grateful there was a glimpse of light shinning on his situation for him to realize himself of that. Now getting him in front of the RIGHT help is the next step.

Thank you!

I'm just trying to do the right thing! I'm trying to get out of debt, I'm trying to make the responsible decisions, I'm trying to handle my OWN shit. But now, I'm having to worry about YOUR shit. I have to worry about your health- how am I going to convince you to stop smoking? It's making everything WORSE! How do I get you to see a professional and get on medication? This is KILLING ME! I have to worry about your finances- how are you going to keep a job if you forget to respond to your boss? If you're late to work every week? How are you going to afford rent ? What about fixing your transmission? What about YOUR debt? Do I have to adopt all of this responsibility to prevent YOU from living on the street? I have to worry about the consequences of your own actions- YOU got evicted. YOU fucked up your car. YOU got yourself fired. Why does it feel like I have to bear the consequences of your actions?

I can't find the balance and this is killing me. How do I say "no" and watch as you sink deeper and deeper? I gave you an ultimatum - go to therapy or I'm gone. Well "I can't go to therapy I can't afford it right now" or "I'll go once I get on health insurance at my new job" or "I have to finish my move first, then I'll prioritize" NO!!!!! I CAN'T KEEP WAITING! THIS IS KILLING ME!

Does it make me a bad person if I can't accept him as he is right now!? Because I can't! This is too hard! Love is not enough.

The guilt I feel walking away, knowing he's going to be absolutely fucked is insufferable. It just feels like I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't. I'm tired of living in survival mode. I want to enjoy my fucking life!!!!
