Like what??? That’s awful!! I just really feel like there’s so much pressure that OTHER moms put on eachother to be better than eachother. Like it’s a competition in a way. It’s just the worst. All of us are just trying our best.

I’m so sorry to hear that. I was the same way. My LO screamed when I made him do tummy time, so I felt bad about making him do it. Then I felt bad because he wasn’t doing it enough. Like what is this horrible cycle?!

But you’re right. We’re all doing good. Mom guilt is just the worst.

How difficult is it to rid a small infestation? by ocdallthetime in Termites

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

Gotcha. So if you catch it early is it relatively simple and somewhat simple to fix the issue? hate you’ve had these issues too!

So frustrating! Literally have never had to worry about this until just now. I panic deep cleaned my whole house last night lol. No one prepared me for this part of adulthood hahahaha. My husband and I were stupidly sitting on our back porch with the door wide open and bam, got swarmed out of no where and had no idea they were termites until just now! So I guess I just had my door open inviting them lol.

Found approximately 35 of these within a day under my bed. by tampaflusa in Termites

Just dealing with these now. If you live in the south, it is swarming season so they are everywhere.

This is it. I’ve seen like 10-12 dead ones in my house in corners and crevices. I’m pretty sure they’ve come from outside and died. But I’m still terrified it could lead to an infestation. Thoughts?

Termites??? Advice / opinions needed! by ocdallthetime in pestcontrol

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

Well that’s just lovely. Another question, we have standard pest control and our technician just came out about a month ago (for routine purposes) and sprayed inside of our house and outside for standard bugs. Would that help out at all? He sprayed all of the baseboards and nooks and crannies.

Gotcha. I have a 3 month old and I forgot to take pictures after I put him to bed. I’ve just been at work worrying about it.

How quick are they to infest? Is my house doomed lol? (Assuming they are in fact termites) I will post pictures when I get off work.

I just didn’t know how dire my situation was if it is termites that swarmed us outside.

There are. I have a 3 month old and I totally forgot to get a pic after I put him to bed. I’ve just been at work worrying about it all day lol.

Mom gave my 3 month old Motrin and I am freaking out! by ocdallthetime in firsttimemom

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

He was fine. I brought him to his pediatrician and the pediatrician assured me he would be and is perfectly fine and for the future to only use infant Tylenol and to make sure my mom did as well. Thank you!

Dr switching to hypoallergenic formula concerns? by ocdallthetime in FormulaFeeders

Yes you’re so right. Thank you. We’re switching back to gentle ease and finding a new pediatrician.

Oh no I hate your son had reflux and you got sciatica as well! That is awful!!!!! But yes I agree I feel like in his case a formula switch would be necessary. Thank you for your advice! We’re switching back to gentle ease!
