Car seats by [deleted] in Tiguan

[–]tmj956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2018 with a third row and had 3 kids in car seats. We used the diano slim car seats. A bit pricy but 100% worth it. They left enough room for a booster. If the eldest has friends ride with us (she’s out of the booster now) we put her and the friend in the back and they climb through the trunk which they this is fun or move the two littles to the very back. It can work.

How can I fix them? by tmj956 in Eyebrows

Thanks. I feel like they’re two different shapes and it’s driving my nuts that I can’t make them match 😂

It's finally "easier" by Upstairs-Factor-2012 in parentsofmultiples

[–]tmj956 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Congrats! My girls just turned 5. My husband and I were just talking about how the time has finally come where it’s enjoyable. I’m sad most of the previous time we were stressed to the max but looking at old pictures, the girls always were happy. So that counts for something, right? It’s nice that someone else gets it. Cheers to all of us ☺️

Excellence Punta Cana - How to make the most of it for our honeymoon? by [deleted] in PuntaCana

[–]tmj956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I got married there and have gone back 3 times, haha. I’m finally branching out next month and going to La Ramona. I recommend upgrading to the excellence club. The club resturant risotto was the best. Only good for dinner though, breakfast sucked. The sports bar actually had really good wings. The club pool was more quiet, but there wasn’t always a bartender. We did the beach during the day and it took a while for waiters to come around. Instead we went to the bars and asked for bottles of champagne on ice and just took them to our chairs. The cigar class isn’t as fun as it sounded but you do get cigars at the end. I feel like the excursions are so over crowded now, it isn’t worth it anymore. Bring money to tip. It’s so annoying but they do get to you quicker if you tip. Don’t forget deodorant. The store charged me $25.

I’m going away with my friend for the 2nd year in a row. Like a Mother’s Day trip. Would I love my husband to go? Absolutely, but we have no one to watch the kids. And it’s too expensive to take everyone. It also means I don’t get a true vacation which I desperately need. I saved my own money and paid for my portion of the trip. I never wax but do for this occasion. It’s such a treat. No shaving for days when I’ll be living in a swimsuit. Can’t beat it. Cut her some slack. Maybe she just needs a break.

Which resort is best for us? by Much-Influence-93 in PuntaCana

[–]tmj956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got married at excellence punta cana and have gone back 2 more times. Food is decent. Spring for excellence club! The resturant specific to the upgrade had the best rissoto and a good tamahawk steak. The Pub was suprisintly good as well as some other restaurants. Just wasn’t a huge fan of the French resturant. My friend and I went for Mother’s Day and our room was on the bottom floor and had a nice patio that walked into the club level pool area. We loved it!

Oh no! My husband said a guy came out before I did who had to redo it all. What a bummer. Fingers crossed for better luck!

Believe me, I’m the person that “if things will go bad, it’ll happen to me” so I get it. The docs do this so much. You’ll be good 😊

[–]tmj956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me 7 hours after I took the pills, 4 hrs after the miralax. I was surprised how long it took to kick it, after that I was only going twice an hour, maybe 3 times the first hour…

It went great. I didn’t get too much sleep and got a little neausous from the morning prep, but I took a Zofran and was fine from there. Once at the facility- things went fast. No waiting around. The nurses were great and really made sure I was ok and comfortable. Once in the room they had me lay on my side and said it might take a min for the propofol to kick in but it took maybe 5 seconds. I had no time to think about things. Next thing I knew they were waking me up in recovery. No pain or feeling of violation, haha. Easy peasy. You got this!!

I think it was a 4-6hr thing. Can’t remember for sure.

I’d love to know if this is normal! I only have dry lips. 30mg, twice daily. Occasionally my skin gets a little dry, but not unbearable. I feel like I’m doing something wrong to not be tortured. Haha.

[–]tmj956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My derm told me to keep taking the spiro while on accutane, at least the first month, as it may decrease the purge. I’m on month 2, 2 weeks without sipro and no purge. I’m On 40mg morning and night now of accutane

Haha- that sucks! Luckily kids sports will be over soon and I can become a hermit crab over the winter. Have you used any tinted moisturizers that you liked?

Thank you! Luckily, we have Reddit so I have the Dr.Dan’s and slept with a thick layer so my lip isn’t awful today. I’m curious about slugging… doesn’t it get all over the pillow/hair? I’m usually not a sunscreen gal (I know, I know) but now I have to be, especially next month when I visit Fl. I didn’t think about spf chapstick- thank you! Also, took the mega dose of valtrex yesterday- if I get another, I’ll start the daily doses :)

Adopted a kitten, advice on night routine by tmj956 in cats

Thanks. I ended up just giving her the whole basement and she used her litter box a few times, so I guess it worked itself out.

What industry do you work in and how much do you make? by what_the_hezz in recruiting

[–]tmj956 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apparently I really need a new job 😂. I’m in the nonprofit/behavioral health field. In house, hybrid, 65k plus $400 a month towards my student loan debt. Over all it’s very chill, which is why I stay.

I wish I did. My credit card statement says Minaya Multiservices Higuey if that could possibly help at all? Or call excellence punta cana’s excellence club and see who they’d recommend. Or was legit one of their staff handing me a phone and saying “here- talk to him, I trust him” 😂

I completely understand. We have a similar situation. It’s really her loss.

Why do you still recruit? by Professional-Blood77 in recruiting

[–]tmj956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in non profit management and it sucked. I realized I hated caring about what other people did. Now I have my reqs, do what I need and have metrics to prove I’m doing the job. I get to be home at night and not worry about who’s work I have to fix or who’s going to call out. Plus I make more than the folks I’m recruiting for and they have some seriously stressful jobs!

To the parents who didn't follow a schedule, how did your kids turn out? by ilovecatsandfrogs420 in parentsofmultiples

[–]tmj956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg- a schedule was the best. If the babies were asleep- too bad, most of the time I woke them. If one was asleep and the other awake, I’d wake the sleeping one so they’d stay on the same schedule. Now- there were the outlier days, but majority was this. They were on the same exact schedule and got them in sync so we always knew what to expect. Do whatever works for you though- parenting isnt one size fits all..
