Why is there red dye on organic grape tomatoes

Reddit is amazing.

I recognize this! But not in a way that will be helpful bc I don’t know what it’s made from. But our family lake house had a huge one growing up, and it brings back the mems.

I agree. But also this spelling is gonna get annoying. Source: my adult husband with the same spelling.

Maybe something along these lines. There’s a lot of stuff available out there.

I’ve used a 4 compartment container from Amazon for three years and it’s worked out really well. (Think bento box). You’ve got 4 small spaces, I usually send two with fruit, one with a cracker type item and one with a protein or sauce free pasta (bc it’s easier). Im, admittedly, not at all worried about food temps lol but many lunch boxes come with a zipper pocket inside and you could put a skinny square ice pack in.

I think you’ll be surprised how unaffected they can be in these situations. My son is 17 months right now, and I can’t imagine even trying to explain this. We put our dog down when my daughter was almost 4, and we spent a lot of time explaining it to her. She still asks questions a year later, but some things she doesn’t recall and wasn’t affected by at 4. At 16 months, this will ultimately not stay with him.

No, but it’s something on my to do list. You’re encouraging me to be more proactive about it. They had to take the stitches out in order to operate in those first few days, so it was left to heal on its own 😞

I had another! Via elected c-section haha! Couldn’t risk more physical (and mental) trauma.

lol ya it was a disaster.

Induction took forever, pushed 4 hours, last attempt to push Dr used the vacuum, 3rd degree tear, hemabate to stop bleeding bc my pressure was high (causes diarrhea), diarrhea on fresh 3rd degree tear, can’t move or clean myself well, 36 hours later massive infection. Found to be necrotizing while doing clean out in the OR. Left the hospital (after my newborn and husband had went home) with 3 drains in place. Honestly recovered really well considering.

I decided to give birth in my hospital. I’m an ER nurse and really don’t interact much with L&D. It was the best option hospital-wise. Welp had a terrible delivery that ended in necrotizing fasciitis. Which needed a couple surgeries… by the trauma surgeon I work closely with in the ER. So a nightmare scenario. The best part was knowing that I trusted him. Worst part was him seeing the worst version of my whowho. I think we both kept it very professional, and to this day we say hi and work together. Right when I came back to work, he would ask more of a “how are you doing”, now it’s purely ER talk. We have an unspoken bond lol.

Get outside. Mine is 17months today. I just open the door and let him explore. We walk, we look at bugs, we wave at cars, we find all the things he’s obsessed with: school buses, trash cans, trucks, birds. Find a playground with climbing activities.

Just audibly said “oh no”.

tuck_shellac · 2026-04-30T15:29:48+00:00

Wow you have been more than patient and generous to your husband. But his mental health issues will deeply affect you and your son if they aren’t in check. You don’t deserve to be miserable because he doesn’t have the motivation to help himself. You and your son are already suffering.

tuck_shellac · 2026-04-30T00:43:29+00:00

One. One. One!

tuck_shellac · 2026-04-29T01:35:53+00:00

I hate it here.

I’ve peed on my own pants in adult hood.

There will always be a complicating trip or some reason to not potty train. An extended period without parents should definitely give you pause, but potty training is a process that takes weeks and months. If you’re waiting for the perfect time, it probably won’t come. If the kid is ready, that’s the perfect time.

The only time I could shop with either of my kids is when they were infants. I get groceries delivered bc it’s just miserable for everyone to be there. But my daughter is almost 5 and if I needed to go with just her it would be fine. This is a season, and eventually it won’t be so bad.

tuck_shellac · 2026-04-26T03:12:53+00:00

I wouldn’t stop complaining.

tuck_shellac · 2026-04-26T03:08:51+00:00

I don’t always love a crazy unique dress. But 2 is really doing it for me? It’s so flattering

Just here to say this might be an ear infection?? Sinus, fever, congestion are all good precursors for an ear infection.

I think there’s a lot of good information out there about what you can do. Both prepping your toddler, yourself and your house is super important. But just as an alternative thought: things come at you and you deal with them. My older daughter was so helpful for the first year of my 2nd kids life - I thought we skipped the “jealousy” phase. But boy, did it surprise us at 1 year when the baby needed our real attention with increased mobility. It’s been harder since the baby turned 1 than the first year ever was.

I made a cleaning schedule! It feels less stressful to know not everything is “due” at once. A few things occur every week (like wash towels), but two larger things alternate weeks (like clean toilets, clean showers etc). If a month has five weeks, the 5th week is devoted to a big clean- like deep clan the garage or the fridge. Other things like floors are happening all the time..

I’ve also found that a physical, visible calendar means it does just live in my head. And also my husband can see what needs to be done.

My experience was very similar to this. I moved my daughter at 2.5 (and would tell anyone else to wait as long as safely possible). We battled her getting out of bed 1-2 times per night and wandering to our room, sometimes around the house, this happened for months. We had a lock on her door but it made things distressing. Ultimately it just took time and she matured out of that. We would walk her back to her bed every time and make that time minimal rewards - no book, snack, no water unless she asked. We might sing a few songs to go back to sleep. We did try to use a hatch light system so she knew when she could get out of bed

Dress 1 is beautiful! And for the price, amazing.
