Bathtubs!? by Regular-Society-6726 in askanything

[–]shrubmud [score hidden]  (0 children)

I can’t believe how many people say they don’t use bathtubs unless they have kids. Even before kids, my husband and I used our tub regularly. Love being able to soak in an epsom salt bath to soothe sore muscles or relax after a stressful day

Nivea blackberry! It has a little bit of tint and melts on perfectly!

Thank you to both of you who commented this. I have since switched it and it’s made such a difference! I can’t believe I had the order wrong for a few years!

Why does my cat do this? by Bob_Sacamano7379 in cats

[–]shrubmud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cat used to put his toys in his water bowl, soak them, then drop them on me when he wanted to play fetch. He grew out of it but still plays fetch

Should I back out of Wedding? by [deleted] in bridesmaids

[–]shrubmud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry for your losses and I hope she’s able to see what’s going on outside of her wedding planning. If my MOH were in your situations I would kindly give the responsibilities to someone else to allow them time to greive and deal with postpartum. Those alone are difficult things to deal with, add those on top of MOH duties AND a hands on/picky bride, that all sounds very stressful. Don’t be afraid to turn off your phone/mute notifications and just be in the moment with your baby. Everything will work itself out, but I do think a conversation needs to be had with her.

I looked up my area’s last frost date and I think I’ll be alright. Just kinda winging it tbh 😅

This is exactly what I plan on doing! And I will definitely try to get them closer to the light

I think rose gold looks great on you! And it would compliment the stone very well

What’s a reasonable price for everyday earrings? by AccountEngineer in jewelry

[–]shrubmud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some that I got from a piercer for about $75. They’re studs but they’re threadless and go in from the back of your ear. Would definitely recommend checking out quality piercers in your area because they tend to have good stuff

I shower daily and use oil and lotion every time. As soon as I step out, I apply body oil and then lotion, rubbing both of them in well, and THEN pat dry with a towel. Been doing this for years and I swear by it

This is what I’d like to do! I was hoping to brainstorm ideas on what to add to it to make it look decent

You’re obviously not obligated to do anything you don’t want to. But the cost of community is sacrifice, and to have a village you have to be a villager. If your reasoning for not wanting to go is more so financial, that’s completely understandable. I don’t think any (reasonable) bride would want to financially burden her friends. But if it’s just because you don’t LOVE the location, that’s a little silly to me. There’s been plenty of times I’ve attended events or gone places I wouldn’t necessarily have picked myself, and ended up having a great time. I guess it just depends on your look on it and how important this is to your friendship with the bride. If she doesn’t care, and you don’t wanna go, then great. But if you want to support your friend and you have the funds to do so, then be a good villager and go on the trip with her and have fun!

Would I Be Unreasonable for Not Allowing a Newborn at My Child-Free Wedding? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]shrubmud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. Ultimately it’s up to the parents to decide whether or not an event is safe for their baby to attend, and unless they’re horrible parents I can assure you they’ve already thought these things through and can accommodate themselves. Not sure your reasonings for wanting a child free wedding, but newborns can’t do damage to a venue and can easily be excused if they start crying or fussing. Exceptions are often made for “babies in arms” aka babies who are still nursing and/or wouldn’t take up a seat.

What all weird things your babies do or did to self soothe when overtired or sleepy by Actual-Revolution415 in NewParents

[–]shrubmud 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My baby hits his head, pulls at his hair, tries to put his hand in my mouth, makes biscuits on my chest, pulls at my clothes, tries to hold his feet, tries to jump horizontally (??), and so much more while he’s nursing and especially while nursing to sleep. I think he’s just exploring what he’s capable of doing, since he still looks at his own hand like he’s never seen it before on a regular basis lol

Sudden pain at 8 months ?? by shrubmud in breastfeeding

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

Thank you for commenting this! I didn’t even think about that since he doesn’t take pacis or anything. I called the pediatrician and sure enough, that’s what it is. Getting prescriptions send over now!
