I napped while the baby napped the other day, even though dd was awake. Not really a confession because sometimes a mama's gotta do what a mama's gotta do, and dd was firmly planted on the other couch.
I used a baby wipe for me.
Baths are a challenge here. The only reason the kids have had 2 so far this week is because I needed to feel like we were clear of pukefest 2017.
Ha, this reminds me I bought Target flushable toddler wipes to use on DD after poop. Sometimes I use them for me.

I sometimes am jealous of people whose kids are still in diapers at this age. So tired of stopping whatever we are doing to find a potty in public. So tired of the constant just try before we leave, only to get in the car and hear "have to go potty".

This morning a guy came over to fix my oven. I was waiting for him and really needed to poop but didn't want to go in case he showed up just as i sat down so i waited. Once he was in the kitchen working i went upstairs and discovered H had used all the loo roll and the new ones were downstairs through the kitchen. Did not want to walk through the kitchen with an arm full of loo roll so i used the toddler flushable wipes.

They're going to be doing that too at some point. No one escapes potty training. The question is when.

But please don't flush them. They are terrible for the plumbing.

And then there's those of us with one of each. Be jealous of the awesome time we're having in public restrooms.
Yes! Buying clothes that are the correct size and flatter your body will make you feel so much better about yourself. I did that last year and now when i open my closet i love everything in there and it makes getting dressed so much easier in the morning.
I recently done this and I wish I had done so earlier. So much nicer to feel like you look good because it fits you than look dumpy because you don't want to buy in the size you are at because you hope that it'll motivate to lose the weight.
Yes, this is my problem. I'm holding on to the smaller sizes thinking I'll lose the weight but then I get depressed that I've gained weight and they don't fit. And I struggle every morning on what to wear that doesn't make me look fat and dumpy. I'm going to try to start the purge this weekend and then figure out where I need to fill in the gaps.
I flush my flushable wipes. What are you supposed to do with them?
Not use them at all. And if you do, throw them in the trash like a baby wipe. They are truly terrible for sewers and plumbing.
I'll let you all google for yourself.
Then wth are they labeled flushable? I specifically bought the flushable ones vs regular baby wipes because of the flushable label. I'm sure I'm not the only person who falls for this.

same here. Plus if i'm not flushing then i don't want to throw poop covered wet paper in the bathroom trashcan because gross. And the trashcan is across the room from the toilet so it's not reachable without getting of the toilet
+1 to hearing how terrible "flushable" wipes are. I watched a news story on how much it costs cities to have people clean up the back ups and damage they cause. I have no solution for the poopy ones but maybe just a small trash in the bathroom that you take out more frequently?
My company is doing some humanitarian work in Haiti and, without getting into too much detail because it is a confidential project, my department has been heavily involved with the product development. They need scientist oversight during the installation and operation of the system intermittently over a course of 6 months. The project manager sent out an email looking for volunteers because no one wants to go. She listed the many vaccines and prophylactics required for travel there.
FFFC even if I didn't have kids, I don't think I would volunteer.
No wipes are supposed to be flushed. I can't remember the term we were taught by engineering, but it was gross. The damage it does and the globs they have to clean out of the sewers...vomit! It's such a bad marketing ploy.

FYI - You're also not supposed to flush tampons. Not sure if that's common knowledge or not, but I've heard horror stories about a house backing up then used tampons just floating by.

This happened to my best friend when her parents were out of town. Her house had a septic tank and it back up into her bathroom and bedroom. She had no idea that she wasn't supposed to flush them until I told her it says not to right on the box.
I have always flushed tampons. My parent's had to have their sewer line snaked a couple times though, oops. Now I use a cup so no clogs and no trash cans needed
I lived in a house once that had to have work done on the septic system. The landlord made sure to tell my roommate and I not to put and "tampoons" down it. I still can't think of tampons without pronouncing it tampoons.
I definitely would not flush tampons or wipes on a septic tank. We can't even use Kirkland toilet paper at the cottage because it doesn't break down well and can cause septic damage
My aunt (close family friend, not actually related) was visiting me when ds1 was born. She wanted to flush wipes down the toilet (not baby wipes) and I told her no. We had a 100 year old house- had issues with old plumbing (not constant issues, just drain/pipe sizes mostly). She want happy about it. Oh well....
