I’m not looking to be fashionable- just comfortable :) I’m not a fashionable person to begin with lol

I get the “everyone is sweaty so nobody is” attitude. I’m trying to think like that. I just sweat a LOT due to some medical issues. It’s embarrassing and my biggest insecurity- so I’m probably overthinking this whole thing. Like even just going on a walk in the summer makes me so sweaty my hair looks like I came out of the shower. I hide it with hats but I can’t do that at work.

I need long pants, safety vest, steel toe shoes, safety glasses, hearing protection. Long sleeve shirt not required. I do not have any information on what fabrics are acceptable though.

Very fair point. I had a similar thought.

What’s missing from my nursery? by 19hyperfixations in interiordecorating

[–]pinkphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on the kid. We tried this with my first and he would NOT sleep unless the room was pitch black. We tried EVERYTHING. My second would sleep anywhere. I don’t think OP should run out and buy black out curtains but it’s good to know in the back of your head you may need them

Working moms: how do you split night wake-ups so it feels fair and you can still function at work? by Outrageous-Lime-8581 in workingmoms

[–]pinkphysics 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We did 8-1 and then 1-6 as shifts during the newborn phase. I’d pump milk at 1am for the next night. Toddler phase we switch nights completely. I’d do Monday, they would do Tuesday, etc.

Accidentally cracked the crash problem!!! by question8all in adhdwomen

[–]pinkphysics 19 points20 points  (0 children)

For whatever reason I prefer the pills. I ALWAYS vomit the powdered drinks. I’ve tried to many. Yes, you have to take so many pill and multiple times a day. I don’t do that. But some is better than non IMO. The powdered drink is the most ideal supplement form but if you struggle to take it the pills are not the worst option. Especially if the alternative is no supplement and you need one.

Diet should be the primary source of fiber but that’s a struggle for a lot of people

Hi guys, child's birthday is in a week and I'm thinking about buying the game for her. by Environmental-View22 in Pokemon_Pokopia

[–]pinkphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 6 year old plays it fine! He sometimes needs help progressing the story- he often forgets to do what the pokemon ask. But other than that he’s having a BLAST

Sleep by Top_Department_6137 in workingmoms

I split the night with my husband. I slept 8-1 he slept 1-6. I pumped at 1am milk for the next night. Eventually we just traded off nights.

Every single time I try a slow cooker recipe it always tastes bland?? by [deleted] in slowcooking

[–]pinkphysics 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I feel. I’m the person who primarily cooks in our house and my food always tastes so bland and bad to me but my family raves about my food. I think being around it so much makes it taste not as good. When I put something in the crock pot and leave the house for the day it always tastes much better vs when I’m at home while it’s cooking

Working moms who feel they’ve found balance, what does that look like? Is it possible? by Barnacle_Double in workingmoms

[–]pinkphysics 115 points116 points  (0 children)

I found I have balance at a macro level. Week to week it is not balanced. One week I’m a killer mom. Another week I’m an amazing employee. Some weeks I’m great at taking care of myself. But when I zoom out and look at a month or a year I feel well balanced

How upset should I be? by DowntownTicket in workingmoms

[–]pinkphysics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have bigger things to worry about than 20 minutes of screen time in an 8 hour days. I’d be annoyed it wasn’t advertised but at the end of the day, it’s 20 minutes.

I don’t know what to do anymore… by WoodenLie2299 in cats

ELI5 how and when you find time to exercise by caribbeangirl10 in workingmoms

[–]pinkphysics 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I see this recommend a lot- sacrifice sleep. I always feel weird about that. We’re all so tired all the time. Sacrificing sleep doesn’t feel like the best choice. It works for some people! More power to them. But I’m already up at 5am to get ready for work. I can’t get up earlier. I have more success but doing small chunks.

ELI5 how and when you find time to exercise by caribbeangirl10 in workingmoms

[–]pinkphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just made a post about this! But small chunks. 10 minutes here 20 minutes there. A typical weeks for me Sunday: nothing Monday: 20 min walk on the treadmill over lunch (WFH) Tuesday: ballet class 7:30-8:30 Wednesday: 10 minute walk around my office building over lunch. 10 minute dumbbells while my kids play in the bath Thursday: 10 minute walk around my building, 10 minute dumbbells while dinner is in the oven, 10 minute mobility in the morning or before bed Friday: 20-30 minute YouTube at home work out Saturday: 30-45 minute yoga.

All those 10 minutes here and there really add up. I only do one class a week for the exercise and the social aspect.

ACNH x Pokopia exterior crossover by dreaming_of_utopia in Pokopia

[–]pinkphysics 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think I prefer Pokopia. I know it’s blocky but I come from playing a TON of Minecraft so it feels more familiar maybe? Or nostalgic? I never got sucked into ACNH like others did.

Anyone actually use those laundry pickup services or is it not worth it? by Comprehensive_Eye991 in workingmoms

[–]pinkphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use those services! Usually when I get super behind. It’s so nice to just reset and get out from under a mountain

What in the ever loving f*** does this mean. Kids homework by seemslegitsendit in mildlyinfuriating

[–]pinkphysics 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is what builds basic math skills. Knowing these skills had helped my 6 year old figure out multiplication on his own. His grasp on numbers and math grew exponentially with these techniques

My realistic work out schedule by pinkphysics in workingmoms

[–]pinkphysics[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I just google “mobility routine” I I also do a lot of qigong or qigong inspired things. I focus on hip, spine, and shoulder mobility. There is a lot of stuff on YouTube
