    Anyone else want to go back to 1992 when every single grade didn’t have a “graduation” ceremony?

    @monkeym24 Honestly, I’d just have them skip the ‘graduation’ & do something more memorable, fun and worthwhile if I’m already off work for it. Ffs its a rip off and honestly, I hated graduations with gowns as a child too. Long, hot, itchy and boring. My kinder was wear whatever you wanted...

    I’m so tired of hearing what other people did/ are doing with their babies

    @charity78777 I would just roll my eyes at them. When they are itty bitty it is about the relationship the person has with the parents. Baby doesn’t know or care. The grandparents are just trying to emotionally manipulate/guilt you into more access. MIL does the same thing…but BIL & SIL don’t...

    I’m so tired of hearing what other people did/ are doing with their babies

    @charity78777 We get this, mainly from MIL comparing us to her other son and DIL. Baby won’t remember any of this and dgaf about them. Any access or anything is literally just about us parents and what we would like. Baby only needs their parents at this point and for a long while yet…

    Do you all accommodate any kids activity/sport you can? Or do you draw a line even if you COULD make it happen?

    @dennisbon My cousins and their children are/were all elite athletes and made time for all of the things you want so it isn’t all or nothing. I’s do it a season and see what they think.

    @yiska7 FairLife Protein shakes (fortified with/D, calcium, etc) was my solution to this. They just bumped the price to $31~ish/pack of 18 @ costco for the chocolate ones.

    Wedding dress does not fit me

    @mitagen1969 I am confused why they had you ordered and tailored so early. If anything, they should have had you order UP a size (or two!) and then tailored. I think you can work out and lose some weight without impacting supply as long as you stay hydrated and have clearance from your medical...

    Are we the only ones struggling financially?

    @joebrick That’s crazy. My cat/dog annual exams are $40-$60 + shots and it’s only around $100, $150 with the optional vax (lepto, lyme, etc). They are necessary though - and OP could use care credit or scratch pay if they wanted. Your suggestion to look at the local humane society for reduced...

    @gopolang Take a look at biokleen, molly’s suds and Puracy, attitude living. All work excellent without the crazy perfumes and whatnot (endocrine disruptors, etc).

    Advice on use of fan in baby’s room (benefits and SIDS prevention)

    @14_teen I’m sorry, I known it sucks. You may also be sensitive to VOCs which aren’t a part of the regular allergy screen. Mattresses in particular are big offenders unless you specifically selected one that doesn’t off-gas (like naturepedic, avocado, other green guard gold or Made Safe...

    Advice on use of fan in baby’s room (benefits and SIDS prevention)

    @14_teen IQ Air or similar hyper hepa air purifier will help loads. We have ours on always (its a fan, functionally) as well as a second fan some nights. You really need to get to the source of the allergy though. Mold, dust. Vacuum every night before bed, ventilation to outside for 30m min...

    How long does it take to lose Mommy pooch?

    @dpowerz It really depends on hormones, if you have DR, etc. I would recommend pilates + weights if you are medically cleared to do so and have any DR identified and addressed first.

    Thrive Market

    @nowforever I have it, we like it and use it. Not amazing for large bulk things like beans or whatever for the pantry but fun drinks, snacks, meats, household supplies & personal care.

    I feel tricked

    @amals He raped you. Get plan B and talk to your OB so they can assist if you are pregnant again or not, especially since at 5w pp you are at risk of infection from sex as well as pregnancy. They may want to start you on antibiotics.
