@tahiniok@rosegarden826@AlpacaAurelius Estrogen peaks right ovulation, and then is trends downward. The moment ovulation is over I end up with PMS symptoms. So for two weeks every month it’s awful. Some months better than others but I’m almost never symptoms free. That’s all progesterone.
@JoshuaBarzon It’s all relative though. Lower housing prices means income will be significantly lower. You won’t be getting paid Boston money living in Iowa. So it’s all a trade off. Plus what good is a big house if I am living in the middle of nowhere with no extended family?
@MrsCMFrancis Just put the baby in the bassinet and drag it into the bathroom or a baby bouncer or a crib and watch on monitor. People, the baby will be FINE laying down and they absolutely can cry for a few minutes. This anti cry is getting ridiculous.
@MrsCMFrancis This isn’t washing the boob sweat and sticky milk that inevitably ends up all over me and b every crevice the first 3 mos. Secondly, the water would have to be uncomfortably cool, and I’d be petrified of water pooling somewhere around the baby’s face. Just totally unnecessary.
@ronrule That’s over 400k now in MA. Any house that size will likely be facing a bidding war soooo be prepared to shell out an unreasonable amount of cash.
@smalltown_wife@realfemsapien All of mine slept on their tummy, and only one chose to stay on her back once she learned to roll over, but by then her skull wad hard enough that sleeping on it at night didn’t misshapen it. It seems to be strictly newborns forced on their backs that end up w/ plagiocephaly.
@realfemsapien woke at say 2am to nurse and were crawling around 😬. Especially if room sharing with siblings. Oh Lord, chaos lol. I just keep them in cribs until they’re climbing out or 3.
@realfemsapien Agree with the tummy sleeping 100%. Not sure about the floor bed. Intriguing, but after 5 in cribs that’s what I feel most comfortable. Are you putting the babies in a separate room or is this with you? Mine crawled around 6mos. That would be chaos if they slept on the floor, and
@Wife_Then_Mama@scotchsoupmaker Exactly. I am also allergic to pertussis, and their fix is to make a Diptheria/Tetanus shot. WTF do I even need diptheria for?! What does Pertussis or Diptheria have to do with Tetanus? Oh nothing other than to force it on you so they don’t lose money. It’s all about money.
@SusanGroff1@wil_da_beast630 They literally have graduations for everything now. It is ridiculous. Some have graduations going from 5th to 6th grade 😑.
@halroxdynasty@tardwife4life Ugh yikes definitely not my experience. I never felt such love until I had my first at 19. Never left him with anyone. Even stopped going to college bc I could not bear the thought of being away from him and felt guilt about my mom watching him. Some ppl just aren’t maternal, and
@tardwife4life this is normal when approaching 40 then if I could go back in time I would have had all my babies in our 20s. Not only for the neuroticism, but once I hit 30 every pregnancy had more and more issues.
@tardwife4life I must be regressing because my husband and I have 5 children. We had our first at 19 and now our last at 38. I am 10x more neurotic than even 5 years ago. I don’t understand what’s happened to my brain, but the intrusive thoughts and worry about this little guy are nuts! So if
@Tanyaelisabeth It’s very strange. I’ve never read smut, and I thought it was so grotesque when the 50 shades of gray books were all the rage. Keep your mastabatory fantasies to yourself, but no, everyone has to hear about it, and now group discussions 🤢.
@Arkypatriot Yes, most Americans wake at 6:30am to be at work and school by 8am. If permanent DST were to become law, many would wake long before sunrise. We need morning sunlight to wake up and feel alert!
Permanent Daylight Saving Time sounds nice until winter shows up.
Across much of America, that means kids waiting for buses in the dark, people commuting in the dark, and millions starting their day before sunrise for weeks.
Your body needs morning light to regulate sleep, mood, alertness, and health.
We already tried year-round DST in 1974. People hated the dark winter mornings.
Extra evening daylight is nice.
But forcing the whole country to wake up in the dark all winter? That’s not healthy.
Be careful what you ask for
