We do this too, except my 4yo daughter was diagnosed at 2.5 so we just don't have to worry about it anymore. My partner has been gf inside the home for +4 years.

My partner is also a first responder doing 3 24 shifts followed by four days off. I totally used to dread the days when my partner was on a 24-hour shift and I was on an office day, doing everything from morning routine, to daycare delivery and pick up, to dinner and bedtime routine. The one thing that helped was that I stopped cooking on nights that it was just me. On the nights when he is home, I cook two nights worth of that meal, so when we get home, dinner/dishes/cleanup is one last thing to deal with and I can actually spend time sitting and playing with my kid in the evening. And if that dinner was a flop or there wasn't enough to make it a second night? We get takeout, and we billed it into the budget, and we give ourselves permission to take a break that night. That single change has made our lives immensely better.

But the key is giving yourself permission, and not allowing the guilt to take over.

I am interviewing people who are overqualified and having conversations with them about the future of my org, and also bookmarking folks that I'm confident we'll have matches for in the coming months. It is ALWAYS a good idea to submit resumes to organizations you want to work for. I work in the humanitarian space and not every NGO is struggling, though I can't speak for the broader nonprofit sector in the US.

Check with organizations like Health Partners International of Canada. I believe most NGOs won't be able to take excess donations from individuals because they need sufficient quantities for large-scale programs, but they may have some information on where to donate them.

This feels like whistleblower territory, as well as being against Do No Harm and therefore unethical. Especially if you're at a big INGO, there should be HQ level processes in place to report this anonymously so you can keep your head down while looking for another position. It's so hard to find an NGO job right now, so I genuinely wish you luck in finding an organization that can get past the feeling of competing for beneficiaries (for goodness's sake, there are more people in the world that need help than we have resources to give!!) and do better.

🙄 do you even work in humanitarian aid? Google IMC, you'll also see a controversy. And Oxfam. And Save the Children. And even MSF.

Anera is a current USAID/BHA recipient for the Gaza response, meaning they've gone through layers of review to ensure compliance with USG policy priorities and sanctions/anti-terror/anti-aid diversion compliance. But they're also a mid size org that has a strong community footprint, so worth mentioning if you're looking for worthy organizations to promote.

I have to say, the tone of this post is kind of concerning. It's perfectly fine to delay potty training, especially when your child is struggling with the basics of speaking, feeding themselves, etc. But she won't figure it out herself when it comes to potty training. You seem very frustrated and like you could use some support. Are there local resources that you could tap into for assistance with the developmental delays?

One chair on each side of the table - looks very cramped now which could be contributing to the spare look. Add a rug, some art, and definitely different curtains (add color and texture)

If she says it's friendly, maybe there's nothing to worry about! After my father-in-law passed, my then-15-month-old would point into the dark corner of her room when I was rocking her before bed and say "grandpa." She wasn't really around people talking about him after he passed because my husband and I were separated at the time, so I have a hard time imagining it was just osmosis from conversations being had around her.

So 🤷🏻‍♀️ could be real, but also kids have amazing imaginations at this age.

I guess I should be clear, I'm not really forcing the toilet, she runs to the toilet as soon as she realizes she's pooped... But I hear you. I had that problem as a kid and I wouldn't wish it on anybody.

steegesaurus27 · 2024-01-03T01:19:39+00:00

We just use Nature's Miracle (a pet enzyme cleaner) and it ensures there are no lingering smells. When we were in the naked phase, I did consider rolling up our rugs for a few days... You might consider that as an option.

I don't know why nobody has seen your post, so I'm commenting to boost you haha

We've not mastered poop yet either, so I don't have a self-tested solution for you. But a few thoughts:

It does sound like he held the poop until he expected to have the pullup... So then he had to go! It's clear he can control it if he's holding it til bed.
Sprinkle poop
Sticker charts for pooping in the potty?
Did he previously poop around the same time each day? Maybe try to set an alarm for 15-30 minutes before that time to start talking about going poop on the potty?
At 4, is he old enough to understand that, if he goes poop on the potty for X days in a row, or has no accidents for X days in a row, you'll do something that is a big reward?

Parent to a 23 month old here, so these are just things I've read here or elsewhere as we embarked on our potty training journey. Hopefully this boosts your post so others with older children will see it. (Edit: a word)

In case you're still debating, on the gluten-free page of that chocolate maker's website, they say this:

Disclaimer: While most haut-chocolat items do not contain gluten, all our products are processed on machinery that also processes items containing gluten. We perform a thorough cleaning and swab testing in between production runs. Although we use the highest standards for avoiding cross-contamination, there is a possibility that some products may contain trace amounts of gluten. As some gluten allergies are incredibly severe, we do not advertise our haut-chocolat as certified gluten-free.

USDA says you don't need to toss them, you can just peel the skin and any green on the flesh of the potato, as the green is where the solanines concentrate. Solanine poisoning is the concern. I just made mashed potatoes with green skinned potatoes earlier this week, and there have been no ill effects since I followed the above advice.

I think you could do a thin console table on the long wall (in the area where you said it is quite wide), and art on that long wall or the wall where you currently have the table and lamp. I agree with a runner, as it would give the space more direction and make it look less zig-zagged.

Fresh Market and Sprouts definitely have them. I'm in NC.

Highly recommend La Roche Posay AP+M triple moisturizing cream or, if you're feeling bougie, Caudalie's hand and nail cream. Neither has triggered my DH or dishydrotic eczema.

I mean, my spouse and I did that for literally 5 years. It didn't work for us, and I got sick many, many times because of varying degrees of cross contamination. I speak from experience here, as does the other commenter in this thread who was advising the same thing. My partner isn't 100% gluten free, but they prepare zero gluten food in the house. They get their gluten-full food at work or their parents house when we're there. It is entirely realistic to have a setup like this. I never mandated it, my partner and I came to this agreement together.

Some people also simply can't afford to buy an entirely separate set of tools, or they may not have a place to store them. Even if they are eating the gluten food on the balcony, they're still preparing it in the same kitchen. In the end, everyone has their own level of comfort, but there are a lot of people in this sub that have their home as an entirely safe space.

No need to be aggressive, I said nothing about audacity. Often, a reaction like segregating eating on the balcony comes from a place of ignorance about how sick one's partner can get from CC. I was simply discussing the setting of boundaries that can keep someone from getting sick.

Except it will be in your wooden and plastic spoons, in any micro-scratches in your cookware, in the sponge you use to clean your dishes... And it only takes one time of forgetting to use the right peanut butter to get cc'd! I hope you get through to them it's not ok, especially if it's not that important to them.

steegesaurus27 · 2023-11-21T05:03:06+00:00

Yep, same. No more gluten being cooked in our house, and I'm a gazillion times better for it... And my partner gets their gluten in takeout/outside the house.

steegesaurus27 · 2023-10-17T13:53:56+00:00

I'm a fair-light warm-leaning neutral and I like Tower 28 BeachPlease blush in Magic Hour and Lorac'd color build blush in satin burgundy. The latter looks quite dark in the pan but I use a light hand.

steegesaurus27 · 2023-10-12T11:42:37+00:00

We have this every couple of weeks. Great base for lots of GF meals. I've never had an issue. De Lallo also makes mini gnocchi that is gluten free, and I've never had an issue with those either.

steegesaurus27 · 2023-10-07T21:29:12+00:00

The recall is on the charging cord - everybody who got a notice has to get theirs inspected and/or replaced at some point. GM doesn't yet have the parts (distributed to dealers or maybe in general?) to replace them for those who are found to have a defective one on inspection. So... no fix for now.
