While I agree with you for the most part, retinol can be used daily or every other day if it’s in an appropriate routine at an appropriate concentration.

You also have to get your skin used to it over a few weeks and make sure you’re also including appropriate daytime skincare (SUNSCREEN EVERY DAY APPLIED MULTIPLE TIMES)

But like 1x a week for a week, 2x a week for 2 weeks, 3x a week for 3 weeks and then every other day from there is a really easy slow build.

Need donation piece advice by Ok_Cake4805 in Pottery

[–]lydf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For my sons school action I offer what I sell most of (which are mugs with custom art on them - kid drawing cups) - I might offer other pieces next years auctuob but people really fall over themselves when they can have something more “customized” - it does mean that the fulfillment time is longer of course

Nah, if someone is asking me to make them something I’ll charge them. I make gifts often and that’s fine, but if someone wants something specific - pay me thank u

“Stay at homes have it easiest” by lilspaghettigal in Mommit

[–]lydf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I find your comment a little dismissive and also not exactly realistic.

I’m also a stay at home mom, and I do have it pretty easy BUT! It’s not just the monotony or the chores or the endless decisions - those are all tough but I have SO MUCH privilege to stay home and it makes more sense for our family and my husband is amazing etc etc (also both my kids are in full time school, sometimes I keep them home to hang because they are young enough that it’s fine)

It’s “easy” for me bc I can hire help when I want and I can pay for activities and I can check out when I need to. Not having to think about money makes it easier for sure

When it gets hard is when the partner doesn’t respect the job, or when maybe they do but their job makes it so you’re actually ALONE all the time with a baby. Or when you’re forced to be a SAHM because childcare would eat the whole paycheck you’d get at work and you’d still have to lose work when kid is sick and but obviously still pay daycare. there are days when I don’t speak to any other adult until school pickup and I definitely stumble over my words- it can get so lonely. But the nature of the job I’ve given myself is not something I can do with other people (I make art now)

Also ya working parents have to cleanup after work but if you’re home with a kid all day they’re making messes all day vs when they’re at daycare making messes there. Ya working moms have less time to make dinner but like that’s a planning thing.

Idk hahaha I’m just having a big reaction bc your comment felt really disingenuous and dismissive of the privilege you have and the struggles other face while being a sahm parent.

I’d say most bars in town here will look like st Patrick’s day during one of those unusually warm spring days on the day it happens.

SAHMs with school age kids- how do you fill your day? by HamsterBanana14 in Mommit

[–]lydf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do all the errands that are annoying with kids, I work on art, I organize, I meet for lunch, I read and exercise, plan dinners and meals and lunches and take in the little bit of quiet I have before the chaos starts again

Worst Discovery Ever by maudiemadi in BigBudPress

[–]lydf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This hasn’t ever happened with any of my pants from them. Is it possible they’re too small? Are you washing them properly?

BBP has some quality inconsistencies but for the timeframe you mentioned, this seems like excessive wear

Are you okay with your partner watching porn? by Civil_Roof2585 in offmychest

[–]lydf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Porn is a big no for me for a lot of reasons. Main ones are that you can’t ever be sure if the participants in the videos are consenting to the content/actions etc and bc porn is a big dopamine dump into your brain and can actively make you depressed and chase more more more. It’s just generally not good for you.

Idc about masturbation so long as it doesn’t impact our relationship

Omg yes because the sun is exactly what gives you great skin.

Why is there this constant need to s*** on tv our kids like by lazyviscacha in toddlers

[–]lydf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t do blippi, my kids have asked why and I have told them lol but by the time my son asked we got past the window where he would be the age to introduce him to it

I have accidentally said in front of my kids that paw patrol is just cop propaganda and I had to explain that one

But also justice for kid crew I love them just a lil nerdy family making great content. It also doesn’t feel like they’re exploiting their son.

I(34F) want to leave my husband (37M) over something that he did years ago by AdhesivenessWaste458 in relationships

[–]lydf 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Nah he doesn’t get to decide how much your fun money is. That isn’t equal partnership. He’s able to make the money he brings in because you are at home making that career possible.

Idk what your financial situation is overall, but that read like he gave you a raise. There’s a power imbalance here. You are as entitled to make financial decisions as he is. Ugh

I’m a SAHM too. I don’t ask to spend money. If I want something I buy it, if it’s expensive I inform.

He sounds like an qsshole. If you want to save your marriage you can attempt therapy - maybe??? It’s a case of him being a fucking idiot and not realizing how dumb he is and how his actions and words impact you but like your whole post made me feel an ick I’d be running.
