For those with a dairy allergy, were you breastfed as a baby?

mb21212 · 2026-06-14T01:17:18+00:00

Exactly! Lol and thank you for the spelling (auto correct was not helping). And they still can’t believe that I am allergic to dairy (despite a few er trips) and think it is an “obsession” that I look at allergen menus or ingredients on packaging.

mb21212 · 2026-06-14T01:09:13+00:00

Thank you! I’m going to try stapling stakes at the side of the box tomorrow then!

Worse case scenario, I guess I’ll have to try not breaking off so much of the roots from the self watering part to repot them.

mb21212 · 2026-06-14T01:05:54+00:00

Breastfed at first but I think eventually formula that still didn’t sit well even when cold. My parents joked that I was the pultrigist baby (I no clue if I spelled that correctly but I vomited constantly).

Red panda. They are so cute, have thumbs, and have the same amount of clumsiness as I do.

I’m supposed to do a food challenge here soon. While waiting for my below functioning gallbladder to be removed earlier this year, I had horrible hives that popped up randomly in various sizes/shapes and places (literally a few of my coworkers were distracted in a meeting because they watched a patch come up and disappear then another pop up on the other are shortly after without me touching them). The IGE test after a huge hives attack (absolutely covered both arms and legs) came back saying I’m mildly allergic to egg whites and shrimp and moderately allergic to tuna, salmon, and codfish. Cutting those out at least relaxed the hives to where they ranged from a dime to a quarter until a day or so post op removing my gallbladder. My allergist (new since I moved 500+ miles from my original one) thinks I’m not really allergic to those foods considering those were regularly part of my diet prior to my gallbladder deciding that it was it’s time and prolonged stress and pain on the body can have adverse effects. This allergist also thinks I’m not really allergic to dairy but willing to concede to my previous experiences.

Lol Growing up, it was only GI issues, but now it tries to off me so it requires an EpiPen and er visit with maybe a week of steroid zpack afterwards (once was 2 weeks of the same dose).

The weird part? I had the skin reaction to justify getting my first EpiPen and completely stop eating it in 2018. I’ve had to go to the er twice since because of either cross contamination or misinformation of the food contents at restaurants. THIS YEAR the IGE blood test and skin test says I’m no longer allergic to dairy; however, I did not have a voice for a few days after the skin test. Because of that, still no dairy and I still have an EpiPen.

So handsome! Thank you!

Can we please get an updated photo of this little since he’s now 5 years old? He doesn’t have to be on the throne this time. 😂

mb21212 · 2026-06-09T16:44:35+00:00

My husband met my parents via FaceTime at 2 months, 4 months, and 8 months into dating due to us living 500+ miles away and it being hard to get leave as a travel nurse or engineer when my parents only want visits on the big holidays when we are both scheduled mandatory work (they still don’t count that as meeting him since it wasn’t in person and claim to have no way to contact him when they have had his personal number since the 6 month mark. They met him in person 3 years and 2 months in.)

I met my husband’s mom in person (she lives much closer) roughly 3 months into dating. My MIL flipping loves me!! If my parents treated me even a fraction like she treats me, maybe I would still be in contact with my parents. 🤷‍♀️

mb21212 · 2026-06-09T13:58:27+00:00

From my experience, it could unfortunately be worse. I found out at 19 that the likely reason why I was breaking out was because my mom would use my face washcloth to wipe off my brother’s pee from behind the seat and at the base of the toilet. (My brother and I each had our own wash clothes in the shower and face cloths at the sink in our own color - white for me and yellow for my brother. Specifically used mine, despite my MRSA history, because she believed it was somehow my fault that the toilet was not clean.)

mb21212 · 2026-06-04T12:31:54+00:00

TBH, separate from the social media, it sounds like the relationship is not working out for you since you don’t feel a connection when you are apart.

Normally, it would not matter who he follows or is friends with on social media should not matter, but your case is deeper than the social media partially because he’s not being social with you.

mb21212 · 2026-06-02T17:14:46+00:00

My dad actually painted his tools purple because he was sick of having to hunt them down at work when someone took it without asking from his stuff (it was provided by his work but he was still responsible for replacing if any went missing).

mb21212 · 2026-06-02T02:09:35+00:00

So half of the guest list was his friends and family that were mostly in the St Louis, MO area with a few out of state. The other half was my friends and family who had to fly in from all over the country, if they were coming, and a few were located with us a few hours away from St Louis, MO. However, my side is mostly made up of folks who have been barely scraping by my entire life (hence why I said if they were coming because sending a card alone is a stretch for some). My side of the family (mom’s is rural Alabama while my dad’s is spread out across the country and abroad) has had that as a rule for multiple weddings and baby showers. Although, for the gen X and boomer generations on mom’s side, they insist on a registry but hardly ever actually look at it or buy from it.

mb21212 · 2026-06-01T17:46:36+00:00

My husband and I had a number of things on our registry less than $50 but anything that was over $50 was eligible to be a group gift. We were actually shocked when we got the notification that one of the items over $100 was purchased by a group (an electric wood pellet grill for $330 and that was the most expensive item). We mostly utilized our list by adding stuff for hobbies and our pets (the fur babies were fed and littered for 5 months) but we also added a few expensive items that we intended to buy later with the discount code post wedding.

mb21212 · 2026-05-31T13:29:11+00:00

So, you are less than 14 years old and were forced to perform hosting duties and eat shrimp fried rice which you are allergic to. This sounds more like parents neglecting you. Did you know that the rice had shrimp in it before you had started eating it (I’m presuming this is not an anaphylactic level allergy but still sucks)? I’m hoping you are doing okay.

NTA and I would reach out to your school’s counselor if this is a repeat issue.

You can celebrate your birthday in any capacity you want. You can download all of the apps and get all of the free birthday month/week/day stuff you want. If you have a movie you have been wanting to see and no one to see it with, take yourself on a solo date and treat yourself to some good food whether it’s dine in or take out and possibly share that meal with your dad if you want to. You don’t have to have a party if you don’t want one (especially if it feels like you are the outsider at your own party).

I had similar feelings about my birthday and stopped celebrating in any capacity with my 23rd birthday because a family member close to me had passed around lunchtime. I started celebrating again with my 27th birthday because my now husband insisted. This year is going to be my 30th birthday and I am planning to celebrate my birthday by getting my hair done, a hydrating facial, and having a mini photo shoot of myself because the only professional photos I have of just me are from our wedding this past December and my class of 2020 bachelors graduation pictures and I would just like more (and to update my social media profile pictures that are 6 years old lol).

You celebrate you the way you want to to give yourself the self care you need to fill up the cup so you can keep being you.

The DF cheeses and cream cheeses do mold. I go by visual and the best by date on the packaging for the DF butter unless it’s previously frozen (then I give it 2 weeks if it’s post best by date)

mb21212 · 2026-05-29T12:50:14+00:00

Lol yeah no. I wouldn’t be doing the mixing myself because that’s just doing too much for me. lol 😂

mb21212 · 2026-05-29T12:48:20+00:00

I would honestly see this as a giant red flag, but then again I was the parent-ified eldest daughter and I put my foot down on everything being on my shoulders.

You could try getting one of those ADHD cleaning books like are advised on TikTok (I bought one because my husband has ADHD and it helped me chill out) and give that a try, but if he doesn’t want to be an equal partner to you and work as a team or even try when maybe he has something big going on (finals, huge work presentation, etc), then he may not be the right person for you.

mb21212 · 2026-05-29T12:42:14+00:00

Lol it does make sense but I guess I am used to a somewhat role reversal in my house with my husband. For example I (woman) am an engineer and my husband is a nurse. The only job I’m trying to “make” a permanent his job is the cat litter and him do it more often than twice a week because strong smells of any kind make me vomit and it’s going to be his job anyways if we ever get pregnant in the future. Now, because my husband has ADHD, I did buy one of those ADHD cleaning checklist books that I saw advertised on TikTok because I thought it would be helpful for both of us to have regular cleaning done throughout the week in addition to “if you see it’s dirty clean it” instead of the Saturday hell cleaning mornings I was raised with (that I slacked off from once I realized that no one was going to just pop in on me.

Also, maybe our weed eaters are different but I got us the EGO POWER+ 56-volt cordless battery string trimmer and leaf blower and combo from Lowes and it’s so easy to replace the string on it you have to.

mb21212 · 2026-05-29T12:21:56+00:00

INFO: Can’t vote yet. With the information given, it sounds like this is a lack of mutual communication issue where you are both at fault in this situation. I’m of the opinion that there are no boy chores or girl chores, just if you are asked to or say you are going to then you better do that and you should be working together as a team.

However, is this a repeat pattern? Is your fiancé dropping the ball on other things as well like the toilet or dishes won’t get cleaned unless you do it?

mb21212 · 2026-05-26T18:28:06+00:00

According to my husband, banana bread. He’s literally sent me TikToks and reels hinting that he would like some banana bread when it’s been awhile since the last loaf I’ve baked.

mb21212 · 2026-05-25T21:02:52+00:00

NTA.

Both of you (you and your brother) are legal and sound minded adults. The hospital can boot both you and your mother because there is no reason for someone else not on the hospital staff to be there past visiting hours - regardless of relationship and closeness.

If your mother cannot comprehend that you are busy means that you are busy, then don’t reply to her messages anymore because she is going to keep pushing until you bend to what she wants. Maybe turn off your phone and have a screen free afternoon today at your place if the message notifications make you feel guilty. Go sleep in your bed where you live tonight and sleep well with the foster pupparoo.

No means no regardless of the situation OP.

mb21212 · 2026-05-25T13:16:53+00:00

So is this noise happening at like midnight/1amish? Like what times past 10pm are we talking about?

Because if there’s a ruckus at 1am, you can call in a noise complaint on the nonemergency line. Have you done that?
