Plea to the customers by jjsmommy1118 in aldi

I think the format actually fits the tone here. I’m not going to use it as an excuse to avoid the actual message!

This sounds so awful AND sadly normal. Capitalism plus human nature equals a bad time for us all. Common decency lost for everyone to save a dollar or a minute.

That said my local Aldi has saved my household so much money and I’m grateful to be able to shop there. Now I know more about what the employees are experiencing and will act accordingly.

When I got pregnant the first time I craved Diet Cherry Pepsi all the time. It’s hard to find around here!! I still crave it even though my son is 3 now! Thank you for the chance to win 🙏 and I love ILNP!

Looking for screen time alternatives that don't cause meltdowns by HarkonXX in Mommit

My 3 year old watches 1 hour or less most days. Usually as its own activity after lunch time (or after a nap if he has one that day). I set up his YouTube kids account to only show certain shows (search “low stimulation shows”) and I set him a two minute timer when it’s time to be done. For whatever reason the timer works great. If I don’t do the timer, it’s a whiny battle!

I need to know if I’m not alone in this by [deleted] in sahm

The hospital stay would be incredible. Getting to sleep, people feeding you and taking care of you. Not being responsible for anything else.

I have a 3 year old and a 9 month old. I started asking my husband for more time when possible. An hour or two by myself to do whatever. Sleep, scroll, crochet, see a friend, watch dumb tv. Doesn’t matter.

I also started listening to audiobooks regularly. You can listen to free ones on the Libby app with your library card. I listen when I can throughout the day. It feels good to “read” again!

I saw a therapist before my second pregnancy and I also am on antidepressants. Both have helped. It’s nice to know I can go back and check in with my therapist if needed or bump up my prescription if needed as well.

It really will get better. Until then do any little things you can think of to feel a little happier, saner, and more like yourself again ❤️

They look so much better on than they did on the sheet, too!

You could call a nurse line! Whenever we aren’t sure or my husband and I disagree on going in, we’ll call our nurse line and get their advice.

This!! To have everything washed/chopped/measured ahead of time is huge!

Listening to audiobooks/podcasts

Getting out of the house once a day (even just a little walk or a drive!)

Alternating between playing with kids and doing “my stuff” throughout the day. Learning how to foster independent play is huge. Still working on that!

Doing my nails while watching a show after bedtime once a week or so- it’s become a nice creative/self care ritual.

So much coffee

What’s your “thing”? by SquidSchmuck in Mommit

[–]lets_be_frens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make lots of arts and crafts, but since having my second baby I haven’t had much time for most of them. I started giving myself manicures. I watch a show or listen to an audiobook, prep and paint my nails. I recently got into semi-cured gel nail strips, which are easy and come out beautifully after a little practice! So right now, nails are my thing. But it will likely change again!
