@guardenista@JamieWhistle "my class is my family" is what stuck out to me as the concern. Government schools trying to replace/confuse kids about who their family is a no go for me.
Better question, why do kids have homework after being at school for 7 hours? Do these parents bring work home after being clocking out of their job? I bet the parents would be equally pissed as the kids.
@notaproviderMD So you're telling me you wouldn't be super upset and might not even eat the burger if when you got home it had something you hated on it? I'd be upset with a plain burger because that's not what one imagines a burger to be.
@jessica_kirsh Viatrix just watches what I watch, some just entertainment, politics, tech, investing. I didn't grow up watching much kids programming, more documentaries, hee haw, star trek. I think I turned out fine without the kids TV.
@Cathrinmachin At one of my first appointments my Dr told me I could only gain 15lbs for the entire pregnancy. I ended up gaining about 50lbs 🤣 but it has steadily been coming down as I breastfeed.
Larger muslin cloths, about 40"x40" have been used way more than the normal thicker receiving blankets. I felt like the receiving blankets were too hot and the muslin ones could be a thin layer between us for sweat and being able to grip, or doubled up for more warmth.
Also as far as postpartum stuff for me, mainly I only felt like I needed diapers for about three weeks. Mostly I just forgot about the ice pads or had a hard enough time holding her as I was on the toilet and pulling my pants up was hard enough, let alone trying to add ice packs, or spritzes of things. I also didn't feel that bad right after birth though. Oh a bidet or peri bottle, definitely great and maybe needed if you have stitches at least.
@jessica_kirsh I've tried to keep things minimal living in an RV as well! I'm also trying to stay on the cheaper side so I can stay home with her.
Car seat was the most expensive thing but honestly I did what everyone says not to do and bought it second hand, doesn't expire until 2030. -$50
