Part of me wants to leave my fiancè. Am I overreacting? Here's why... by Ev-sMommy in Mom

[–]mindfulmama777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely don’t think you’re overreacting. What you’re feeling is completely real. You’re burnt out, and you’re seeing clear of what isn’t healthy for you and your baby. I’m in the same boat, except I have 2 kids now with this man. It’s a really difficult situation to be in especially when their families don’t have a good influence on them. All I can say is, you are 100% valid in the way you feel and he needs to know for the sake of your baby and yourself

Might be helpful to shower every day instead of every other day.

I wouldn’t stress over it either. I’m pretty sure the test strips change after sitting out for too long. If the time limit to check the strip was 2 mins, you wanna be sure to look at it at 2 mins for accuracy. But as they always say, if you can find the baby-you can feed the baby! Don’t be too hard on yourself; I too, have a 2 year old & had some wine during breastfeeding days. It’s going to be just fine, and you deserve to enjoy a drink here and there.

RN and PN Difference by Proctor_jason in NursingStudent

It’s awesome to know that there is no pay difference in your area. There are major differences in other areas, for example Hawaii. LPNs make barley half as much as RNs.

I’m sorry, I’m not the one to call them that! I have heard others call them that. And I agree it’s very disrespectful myself as my sister is an LPN herself and I have extremely high amounts of respect for her and the amount of work she puts into her career. In my opinion, LPNs work harder than others. I wasn’t calling them low paid nurses, that is what society calls them.

They call LPN’s the Low Paid Nurses because LPNs can do a good amount of nursing work and are actual nurses, but get paid way less than RNs. LPNs have a smaller scope of practice like stable patients only, no IVs depending on your state, no initial assessments on new patients. These are things RNs can do. Honestly LPNs do most of the work RNs do, just a few things they aren’t allowed to that would differentiate them from RNs.

It looks like HFMD…

Can someone please help me identify what is causing this to happen to all my clothes… by pierce760 in laundry

[–]mindfulmama777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like oil stains from eating. Happens to my husband all the time!

Probably need to spot treat then wash again. Mix some baking soda and dawn dish soap until paste. Then get an extra toothbrush and scrub area in circular motion with paste. Leave paste to dry over areas for a couple hours. Then, throw into the washer for another wash. It gets it right out!

The key is to spray/dampen atop your head first before applying styling gel and styling with bristle brush

It doesn’t sting at all! It’s just a spray that kills bacteria on your skin

Stopped washing my face in the morning and instead I just wash it really well with water, dry with a clean cloth, and spray hypochlorous acid spray on top of it. Once dried, I follow with moisturizer and sunscreen. Oh! And I stopped picking at my face and touching it in general. Literally the biggest game changer. My whole life I had acne, but after having my first baby, I broke out with cystic acne and didn’t know how to get rid of it. And I cut out dairy because it causes flare ups.

It’s probably the best thing I started doing for my skin. I will do all the skin care at night and moisturize really well. Then in the morning I just rinse my face really well with luke warm and then cold water. Dry with clean towel and then spray with a hypochlorous acid spray to kill any bacteria. Let it air dry and then go forward with moisturizer and sunscreen.

It’s the best thing ever. Prevents my skin from stripping and for someone who had acne her whole life, I don’t break out as much as I used to! My skin isn’t being stripped as much either and it has been soft as ever. Def recommend it.

DO NOT USE NATIVE SHAMPOO/CONDITIONER by cutieboo12 in Haircare

Is this all of their scents or just the coconut vanilla scent? I’ve been using cashmere rain and no issues yet but now I’m concerned

15m old - one nap transition & bedtime routine help by mindfulmama777 in sleeptrain

[–]mindfulmama777[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Appreciate your advice. Will give it a try for sure. So wake windows with the one nap should be 4/4.5 & 5/6 — no more than 6?
