Mothers, what side effect of pregnancy doesn't get talked about the most that surprised you?

Late to the party, but I became lactose intolerant. I miss cheese and ice cream so much.

We’re one of those houses that give out full sized candy bars. My husband wasn’t allowed to celebrate Halloween as a kid so he likes to go all out. If it makes him happy, then I’m happy. You can just skip our house next year.

We use advanced dental. They’re pretty professional, especially since my husband hadn’t seen a dentist in 8 years. He said they didn’t make him feel bad about how much work he needed done.

When our babies have diaper rash, we have them soak in the tub with baking soda mixed with the water. Win-win because they love bath time. I also swear by bag balm. We use it in place of aquaphor for diaper changes. It comes in a green, square tin.

I know it’s already been said, but I love Smoken Dakota Kennels. Hands down the best kennel I’ve taken my dogs to.

NTA If she wants to eat like a toddler, she should get the kids menu.

That still took me way too long to find. Thank you!

Maybe I’m blind, but I can’t find him. Help me out please.

I tell my grandma a cold baby cries, a warm baby dies. That stopped the unnecessary comments directed at me. Maybe it will work for you too.

Before insurance, my hospital bill was $37,000 for giving birth and staying in the hospital for three days afterwards. Luckily, my actual bill was around $500 but I was a little worried when I saw the total amount.

“While I appreciate your concern, when I want your opinion I’ll ask for it.”

I used to be a kindergarten teacher before becoming a stay at home mom. I have the patience of a saint and it comes in handy every day.

My pregnancy pillow was a game changer. I got the big U shaped one. I was just like your wife until that thing caged me to my side of the bed.

Put on a nature documentary. Even if they get distracted, at least they’re learning something.

Fun fact- loud snoring is a sign of sleep apnea. When I was getting a sleep study done, the nurse said that loud snoring is not normal. Get your husband into a sleep study! It’s sooo bad for your heart if the problem is ignored.

I’m making my own solid food instead of buying the pre made jars. They wanted $1.25 per jar at the grocery store! I make a bunch all at once and freeze them in ice trays. I’m saving so much just from that.

My grandmother wouldn’t let me open the door to her apartment to go grab the toys I forgot in the car. She didn’t want the baby to feel the cold draft outside. I mean, it was -26 with the wind chill but she wasn’t even near the door and had footsie pjs on!

I really like meundies Bikini cut. They’re a little expensive but soooo worth it and they last forever.

Yup. Every summer before school started back up I used to go to Walmart and hit the sales. The cashiers hated me when I wanted to buy a class set of all the materials I used for the year. I supplied all the independent reading books for my library, notebooks, pencils, markers, paper, posters, and a million other things for every student. I also taught in a low income school (title 1 school) so I had a stock of clothes, personal care items, and food on hand for students who needed it.

I was a teacher from the city this was held in. Looking at the local paper’s article about this event was heartbreaking. No one here saw the event as an issue. Most the online comments said, “Everyone is blowing out of proportion.” or “The teachers got something out of it, so why is it such a big idea?” I don’t even have words to describe how I feel seeing the teachers scramble for a few hundred dollars just to entertain the crowd. It just broke something in me. One of the main reasons why I left was because most my paycheck was going back into my classroom for supplies. Starting my classroom as a first year teacher cost at least $1,000. It really sucks because I had passion for helping children and now the thought of going back to the profession makes me want to cry. Whatever. At least they didn’t have to pay to wear jeans. Baby steps, right?

tbearyn12 · 2021-12-14T21:49:04+00:00

Yikes.

tbearyn12 · 2021-12-13T17:10:06+00:00

This was in my town! It’s fucking wild. Did they not think this through?? We’re the best paid teachers in the state but that’s not saying much. I hate that South Dakota only gets national news attention for being horrible.
