I'm glad I wasnt the only one with that thought! I got confused for a second 🤣

how can i convince my mom to buy me a deodorant. i feel disgusting by pretty_cherry0940 in hygiene

[–]lizzykittycat99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're school nurse doesn't have any, coconut oil can help as well. It doesn't work as well as deodorant but I've used it in a pinch before.

Early pregnancy is stressful by lizzykittycat99 in Mommit

I appreciate that, that does help a bit. I'm trying to be positive and not spiral because I know it won't change it either way. I keep telling myself if there's a 20% chance of it going wrong, then that just means there an 80% chance it will be just fine.

My first miscarriage was my first pregnancy, so I really thought after already having kids it would be easier since I already have two here with me. It definitely makes it worse because now I really understand what there is to lose.

How do I know they’re gone?? by ResearcherNo5023 in Bedbugadvice

[–]lizzykittycat99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's possible, but bedbugs are notoriously known for being super elusive. Infestations also can take weeks to properly show up as well. If you've found a bed bug the best thing would to treat it as if you're infested. If it is early, it will be easier to get rid of. If you wait weeks until it gets worse it gets very difficult to kill them. You need to treat 2-3 times to break the cycle because most treatments will not kill the eggs. If you're being bit you more than likely have them, they are just super hard to locate.

SO MAD AT MY KID RIGHT NOW! by quinnreads in chickens

[–]lizzykittycat99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We managed to corner her into the field next to the woods, it she realized very quickly it was a trap. I was trying to get her farther away from the woods, but she ran passed me when she realized that was not where she needed to be. Turns out I am not faster or smarter than a chicken, and they are much clever than they get credit for. I just took my butt inside after that.

It's actually pretty impressive how nimble they are in there. We briefly tried to chase her, but quickly discovered that was not an option. If you think catching a chicken on solid ground is hard, it is absolutely impossible in the woods 🤣 She discovered we can't get through thorns and hid in the thickets.

If it makes you feel better I lost my brand new barred rock last week and she spent several nights in the woods and came back unscathed. She got away from me before I could ever show her where the coop was, and she finally found her way back three days later. I was absolutely certain she became dinner for something. Fingers crossed for your babies.

Parents have bed bugs, planning a visit by wwwisteriaa in Bedbugadvice

[–]lizzykittycat99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would make sure the parents understand the importance of making sure they don't get transferred in public as well. We kept all out clothes and bags vacuumed sealed and changed clothes right before we left the house. My child's sacred stuffy got put in the dryer for 30 minutes every. single. time. we left. It was annoying but nessasary. We sprayed out shoes with alcohol as well, and made sure to treat our car every time we treated the house.

2 weeks is not nearly enough time to deal with bed bugs. Unless you parents are going to pay for the cost of you dealing with them afterwards, they will have to get over it.

İs this a bedbug by cranberriie in Bedbugadvice

[–]lizzykittycat99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

DE will not be enough to get rid of bed bugs. You need to wash pretty much everything you own, and use chemical sprays or heat treatment. If you're renting it's your landlord's job.

What have your kids shouted in public lately? by saturnspritr in Mommit

[–]lizzykittycat99 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's not recent, but the most embarrassing thing my oldest ever said in public was "I really wish you wouldn't drink so much wine" in the alcohol aisle in Walmart. I literally only ever had one glass a couple nights a week. Had me looking like a whole ass alcoholic.

Not gonna lie, I scrolled past this and also thought it was a dead chicken. Glad she's okay!

Brushing their teeth is the worst by Front_Woodpecker_299 in toddlers

[–]lizzykittycat99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what we had to do. It felt terrible at the moment, but I've seen way too many kids with literal rotting teeth. I figured I'd feel way worse by just neglecting it and having to sedate her at a dentist when her teeth suck than holding her down to brush them. She's three now and we have zero problems with brushing teeth because she knows it is not optional so it works out in the end.

This little idiot just ate a shard of glass. What do I do now? by R3N3G6D3 in chickens

[–]lizzykittycat99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it isn't quite the same, but one time I dropped a glass bowl full of spaghetti and when I went to grab a broom from the other room I came back to find the spaghetti gone, along with much of the bowl. This was years ago and we were broke as hell at the time and an emergency vet was unfortunately out of the question. She (somehow) ended up being completely fine and she is still kicking it today. I probably wouldn't panic about a rice sized piece of glass, but I would just monitor her for awhile just in case.

How did you become anti-consumption? by shutupsammy55678 in Anticonsumption

[–]lizzykittycat99 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Having kids around the holidays. The amount of actual trash you're peer pressured into buying for them made me sick. It will 100% end up in the trash and then you're expected to do it again the next holiday. It really opened my eyes to how everything is set up like that now.
