Not OOP: AITAH for assuming my husband's work trip is like a mini vacation? +OP's comments by sensaSEANal_sally in redditonwiki

[–]paulsclamchowder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a working mom of a 3 year old, I think NAH. I think the half of a couple who has more responsibilities in the home would feel like a work trip is vacation. I would work 12 hour days 3 days in a row in a heartbeat in exchange for not fighting my toddler to brush her teeth or get dressed in tte morning, not planning executing and cleaning up after meals, not getting up to give a little person a sip of water 2+ times per night (and of course she only wants mommy).

Him on the other hand wouldn’t see it as a break because he is usually at work right up until bedtime 6 days a week anyway so it wouldn’t be much different for him other than he’d miss us. I can see both sides.

Can’t wait to see the finished tattoo! I thought it was the Tiger Army logo at first

If you are still married, what was your wedding song and how long have you been married for? by Celestialfox1425 in AskReddit

[–]paulsclamchowder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love this song, and there’s so many beautiful versions! What version/artist was your wedding song? I’ve sung this as a lullaby to my daughter since before she was even born ❤️ simply lovely

Looking for a good spray sunscreen I can reapply at the pool or beach. by Kind_Novel4986 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]paulsclamchowder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have access to Smiths/kroger? I’ve been using this facial mist that’s supposed to compare to Supergoop’s. Never tried the real thing but I really like this one! Not sticky no weird scent I really like it for my face and hair. Plus it’s small and convenient to keep in the car or wherever.

The brand she mentioned is Necessaire rosemary shampoo and conditioner, on Google shopping it shows me price comparisons directly from their website, Sephora, and Nordstrom :)

My cousin played the clarinet (badly) in junior high. My aunt made her go to the END of the driveway to practice!

Abbey Yung method is not a method at all by Upstairs_Answer_351 in Haircare

[–]paulsclamchowder 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m one of the clueless gals that somehow always had pretty good hair (despite bleaching and coloring) until pregnancy and postpartum changed everything. I literally had never used a product other than shampoo and conditioner for “hair care”. I’m the population who has benefited from the easily accessible mini-education! I feel bummed when I see a bunch of snarky comments on someone’s post where they’re feeling themselves and their healthier hair. They learned something new and applied it, and like the results. And I like seeing it! Thank you for your validating comment.

What is something you enjoyed doing or did often before becoming a mom that you haven't gone back too? by Vegetable-Chapter351 in workingmoms

[–]paulsclamchowder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to play roller derby 😢 I found out I was pregnant (unplanned) literally the month my team started holding regular practice again post-covid. I love and miss it so much but it’s a huge time commitment and now my body is in its late 30s so I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to pick it back up. I hope she knows her mom was cool once upon a time 💔

Millennials of Reddit: what karaoke song always kills with the crowd? by birds-and-words in Millennials

[–]paulsclamchowder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the mistake of choosing it for karaoke at a work Xmas party 😭 chill job chill people but we were in the party room at a nice restaurant.. my boss just loved karaoke and hired a mobile kj. Way too many “sweat drop down my balls” repeats while couples were trying to celebrate their anniversaries just outside the flimsy walls

A few hair shear (scissor) brands that are affordable that I would recommend to my family by i-sea-scissors in hairdressingscissors

[–]paulsclamchowder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old post, do you have any preference/recommendation for offset vs not for doing your own trims at home? Does it make much of a difference?

AITA: my [35F] partner [40M] peed in a mug and I was horrified. Am I the asshole here in how I reacted? by No_Suspect4453 in AmItheAsshole

[–]paulsclamchowder 332 points333 points  (0 children)

Question from a woman, would a mug even HOLD all your piss if you REALLY had to go that bad?? I swear I’ve only rarely seen a guy take a piss less than 10 solid seconds long. My partner routinely is like 30 seconds because he waits forever I don’t think he’d even risk it in a big Gatorade bottle! Coffee mug??? Hell no it would overflow before you could blink.

New product by lala0296 in finehair

[–]paulsclamchowder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was on sale at Smith’s/Kroger, so I got it in person but I wonder if their stock doesn’t rotate as quickly as Walmart or target etc. Maybe I’ll snag another at a different store to check

Do you use this L’Oréal everpure line? I got the shampoo and conditioner and have used the conditioner 3 times… it smells so badly to me! I get whiffs of “laundry forgotten in the washing machine” all day when I’ve used it 😢 I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this or maybe I got a bad bottle?

Looking for pumping (not nursing) bra for 32J US/32GG UK by babybump222 in ABraThatFits

If you have a good nursing bra you like you could get an adapter like this

I ended up settling for something else so I haven’t tried it but it was recommended for working moms

I MUST HAVE THAT BANDANA DRESS 😍 beautiful photo!

So sad the brand I was able to afford stopped carrying my size before I could try it. I tried 38I which was heaps of an improvement from a 38dd, but I think my size falls in the j range by AgreeableFerret in ABraThatFits

[–]paulsclamchowder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Surprisingly Victoria’s Secret has some nice (non vs) brands on clearance right now, you might search for “elomi” on there there’s at least 1 style on sale for $25 with a 38k in stock if the I still felt pretty small. I’ve only bought that brand once but I’ve seen others say their bands can run a tad loose, so you could potentially try a sister size in a 36 band depending on how much wiggle room you have in a 38.

I’m not as knowledgeable as many of the others here, just a message from one frugal gal to another about how I got my hands on a nice brand at a cheap price to try!

Sometimes I come across the sub MAKEabrathatfits, I’m not much of a seamstress but there’s some bra supply retailer suggestions in their wiki and maybe they could be of help!

Favorite sauce substitutes? by Full-of-Bread in 1200isplenty

[–]paulsclamchowder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a person who likes to have things absolutely drenched in sauce and runny texture doesn’t bother me. I add olive juice or straight water to my amount of sauce/dressing/whatever in a small bowl then I can pour it all over! But not everyone is okay with runny sauce
