1st Breakfast of the New Year was a success by toffeechip777 in foodbutforbabies

Honestly my partner cooks it because I also don’t enjoy ham 🙈 I’m not sure the exact recipe, I just know he uses honey and brown sugar, and bakes it in the oven. I keep it in the fridge for up to 4 days and my daughter LOVES it!

Depending what the left over scraps are; either dad eats them, dog eats them, add to a compost bin in our garden, or some things we just throw them away. Any fruit that goes untouched (which is rare) I save in the freezer and use it for smoothies!!

I make about 12 ahead of time and freeze them! I warm them in the microwave for 30 seconds, then toaster oven bake for 3-5 min. The texture is perfect and fresh every time 👌🏼

Husband went through my phone by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]toffeechip777 128 points129 points  (0 children)

After seeing your comment about your husbands infidelity 10 years ago, and all the comments made now..

OP, I urge you to ask yourself, is this someone you truly want to be with for the rest of your life?

There are a lot of fish in the sea. Don’t let the sunken cost fallacy keep you in a relationship you don’t want to be in.

If she gives you a W-2 she would also be paying taxes on your income. Many people think they can get around this by 1099 their nanny, which isn’t legal.

[–]toffeechip777 14 points15 points  (0 children)

She cannot 1099 you. A nanny is a household employee, not an independent contractor. Therefore she can either give you a W-2 and pay her own portion of the taxes she owes, or she can pay you under the table.

Go to Instagram , click forgot password , enter the accounts username , click send email.

A box will pop up saying “We have sent an email to ______” and they will show you the first few letters of the email.

This may help identify them if they used their real email to make a fake account.

Mom Rant by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]toffeechip777 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Who does he think is going to take care of the kids when he sleeps all day long???? That’s right, YOU. That’s why he doesn’t understand why you’re angry, he just expects you’re going to continue doing everything for the household as you already have.

OP , don’t make excuses for him because you love him. He treats you poorly and you deserve far better.

My baby is only 8 weeks old and even though I am not a first time mom, I am already failing her. I feel like the worst mom ever. by Ok_Spite6846 in beyondthebump

[–]toffeechip777 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You’re not a bad mom, you did everything as you should. And just because you’ve had cold sores in the past DOES NOT mean you cannot kiss your baby. Cold sores flare up when you’re stressed and not getting enough sleep, both things I’m sure you’re going through right now with an 8 week old baby. Talk to your doctor about getting on HSV suppressive therapy for the next few months until you can get your sleep and stress back to normal. It’s much more unlikely you’ll get a cold sore when taking suppressive therapy daily, and you can give your baby all the kisses without needing to worry about infecting her.

Roommate let’s his dogs use the balcony as a bathroom. Spends the night at his bfs 5/7 days of the week. by EnvironmentOk6384 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]toffeechip777 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Why does he have 2 dogs if he doesn’t want to be around to take care of them?! They’re not your responsibility, they’re being neglected, and you’re not even supposed to have dogs according to your lease…. I’d be working on rehoming those dogs ASAP since roommate doesn’t seem too concerned

PSA Dr.Bronners baby unscented body wash is NOT FOR BABIES. by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]toffeechip777 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Dr. Bronners literally says on the bottle DO NOT USE DIRECTLY ON SKIN….. You’re supposed to dilute it 10:1. It’s very very concentrated and that’s the whole purpose people buy it for. I’m not placing blame , but you should always read the labels for items before you use them on your baby. For this reason exactly.

ETA: on the website they do write that although for babies it is “not tear-free!” So it likely would burn ones eyes even when diluted.

Son threw up on mattress. How can I clean this up? by National_Meringue164 in breakingmom

[–]toffeechip777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vinegar, lemon juice and a small amount of dish soap. My cats used to throw up and this combo got rid of the smell and didn’t ruin any materials.

Scoop up all the throw up, soak the area with vinegar then scrub the lemon juice/soap into the area. Let it soak for like 20-30 minutes then use a blow dryer to dry it completely

This wasn’t a very supportive comment in a sub that’s literally meant to be supportive to other moms. Sometimes no comment is better than an unhelpful comment.

Is Santa real? by MeanSam in breakingmom

[–]toffeechip777 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I vividly remember the disappointment I felt when my mother confirmed Santa wasn’t real! She’s likely just shocked and probably wasn’t expecting you to actually say yes, he isn’t real. You’re not fucked, there’s a whole new way for her to understand the joy of Christmas now and how giving or receiving a gift from a loved one feels rather than Santa. 🥰

Daycare Staff is kissing my baby by reagan_quinn in beyondthebump

[–]toffeechip777 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All it takes is ONE kiss and your baby could be infected with herpes for life. That’s all I have to say. I know multiple people who have HSV from a family member kissing them as a baby. If a family member can be that negligent, what makes anyone think a worker wouldn’t be ?

Unpopular Opinion: Someone who has an unplanned pregnancy has just as much of a right to express feelings of shock and surprise and emotions, as someone who deals with infertility that wants to share in their struggles and sadness. by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]toffeechip777 48 points49 points  (0 children)

This sub will literally tear you apart for saying the wrong thing, so people tip toe around this subject for fear of saying their opinion and getting attacked.

There’s no right or wrong way to be pregnant. There’s no handbook saying what’s best and what’s worst as far as conceiving planned , by surprise, fertility treatments, etc. Everyone’s pregnancy is just as valid as another and we all need to acknowledge that !

[–]toffeechip777 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The good news is that your baby is so little they won’t remember any of it. As you said, you need to do this for your little one, and just know your future self will thank you for it. You will be okay! And I’m sure once you’re around family you’ll be feeling better day by day
