I'm going crazy. Really crazy. Our dishwasher broke on Christmas Day. It's not even 2 years old. The part to fix it doesn't get here til Saturday and I have scheduled to be fixed Monday. That's 2 1/2 weeks without. With a baby who drinks bottles every 3 hours and doesn't want to be set down bc of teething. How the hell am I supposed to do dishes in addition to other stuff I can't even keep up with?! Ahhhhhh feel beyond frustrated and overwhelmed
Fill your biggest pot with soapy hot water and throw all the bottle parts in to soak for a bit and then wash all once a day. That's what I used to do bc I needed them washed daily and I didn't want to run the dishwasher everyday. It's faster.
Can you strap baby on while you're doing chores? Sling?
That's a great idea. Ill do that. Just all the other dishes. Doesn't make me want to fix any meals. I'm being a big whiner. Will never complain about loading or unloading dishwasher ever again
Hang in there jamer . I have been without our dishwasher for almost a year and it is definitely trying times. Some days are easier than others. I usually just try to do the dishes as we go through the day to keep them from piling up or do them during nap time.
My vent is more of just a personal struggle right now. I mentioned it on the main board but we got a diagnosis for J last week and I am working on accepting it and trying to figure out the best way to go about teaching her about it as she grows. It's not life threatening but it can be a big cosmetic thing depending on how bad it gets and I just want to raise her right in accepting her special traits instead of being depressed and hating herself because of it. That and I just worry about her getting made fun of as she grows since kids can be jerks and it just makes me sad thinking about her possibly getting picked on for something she had no control over. I wish people weren't jerks lol
dana86 I don't know how you do it. I know it's totally a first world problem but at this moment I am not handling it well. Little ones naps have been 15 min and she's tired and cranky so I don't shower or do dishes or anything. It's a phase and I know t will eventually get better.
What was diagnosis? I don't get over to main board very often? I'm sorry you have to deal with it. Worrying about our kids is sooooo scary.

Its definitely a fwp and I struggled a ton at first. Even more so when I started bottle feeding but i'm used to it now and it has gotten easier. While mundane and just a pain, I've gotten used to it. H has so many other things to do in the short time off he has that I pick my battles and the dishwasher hasn't been one yet.
She was diagnosed with vitiligo. Its an auto immune that takes pigment out of her skin and flare ups can leave her with white patches on her skin. She can't be in the sun without full sunscreen and protection, and really just outside in general sunny or not. She can burn much easier and that puts her at a higher risk for skin cancer or skin issues from sun exposure.

Thank you
We discovered it because around her 9month apt she had this much lighter spot on her inside thigh and it was about the size of a golf ball or so. Her reg Dr thought it was a fungal thing so we treated it as such. But after 3 months and 2 different creams nothing was getting rid of it, so he referred us to a dermatologist. The derm saw the spot and said it was one of 2 things. So process eliminate he got out this special light that they use to test for vitiligo and sure enough thats what it came out as
I am trying to be positive and just thankful that it's not something more serious. But I am worried beyond belief about when she gets older. There are treatments for the spots to try and get them to re-pigment but it doesn't work for everyone or sometimes they can just come in so fast its hard to keep up with treating them. So we just have to do what we can now and see how things go.
dana86 I had a student with that last year. She had lots of friends and no one ever made fun of her skin, they'd all known about it since kindergarten and it wasn't a big deal to them at all. A new student asked her about it once and she was really confident in explaining.
