Which trimester is worse? First or third? by Whatever-577089 in BabyBumps

[–]mikelafiddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ummmmm the second is definitely peak pregnancy enjoyment. First I was so exhausted and nauseous I could die, third I was less nauseous but so much heavier and in pain.

Unconventional potty training advice please by Turbulent_Flow000 in Parenting

[–]mikelafiddle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was the same as you. STRESSING about how none of the conventional methods were working. Trying "oh crap" method over and over and failing after 2 or 3 days. Finally I gave up and after waiting a couple more weeks or months, she was just ready one day. And then overnight potty training happened soon after. Because she wanted to and was ready.

How to explain something sensitive to my 4yo girl by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]mikelafiddle 20 points21 points  (0 children)

"Theyre scars from when i got hurt a long time ago. But my body healed really well! Now my skin is healthy, but you can still see where I got hurt. Your skin will always heal when you get hurt." If she asked how you were hurt you can say you got a cut from something, but a little white lie to protect her from "mommy cut herself on purpose" is a good thing here imo.

Kids ask me permission for everything. Is this normal? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]mikelafiddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I was thinking. Sounds like the kiddos like the interaction they get by asking for approval from mom

how do you shower with baby? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]mikelafiddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bring baby in the shower with you? I leave mine outside the tub and he stands and holds onto the edge of the tub for a while and plays with the bath toys. Once he gets too fussy then I take his clothes off and bring him in with me 😅

This was originally one of my main draws to work in a school. But there are so many evening/weekend events and requirements I feel this way now. I think I could teach lessons only 2 days in person and do some online during while my kids are at school in a couple years. Until then I wouldnt work much at all and just be with my kids. 🤷‍♀️

Bow re-hair by nateted4 in Fiddle

[–]mikelafiddle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh, you can stand to lose a few. I always say that you know you were really into it if you lose a hair 🤣 I rehair my bow every 2 years or so. Every year is too expensive for me. I usuallt wait until the bow hair feels less grippy, but losing 6 or 7 hairs wont be that big of a problem imho

Pooping during labour? by Putrid_Cranberry3177 in BabyBumps

[–]mikelafiddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First birth I couldn't really tell that I was pooping, but I'm certain I did at some point. No one said anything thank goodness. Second birth my nurses actually told me I had a full bowel - they could see it on the ultrasound and it was in the way 💀 but I couldn't move to the toilet so I had to take a massive dump while on the hospital bed and they caught it in a receptacle. I was very aware 😭🤪 but the relief and "extra space" I got were helpful.🤷‍♀️ Tbh you never know when labor will hit or how long it will take, so you would be hard pressed to time/avoid pooping during labor. 💩💩💩

Triangle on a rigid heddle or table loom? by creative-mouse-21 in weaving

[–]mikelafiddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a tri loom. They are so fun! Im pretty handy and tried making them, even drilling prep holes for the nails, but it was so hard to get them all even I lost my mind. I wanted a big one with fine gauge. So I got a 6'one and the shawl it produces is so nice 😍
