The recipe I used includes Epsom salts but I might try replacing that with something non toxic to make a kid friendly version for my toddler

Typical man, like wow you expect the woman to take care of ALL your physical and emotional needs at all times? Wooooow. "I'm two weeks old and you're my mother" oh yeah and whose fault is that huh? You don't see me being two weeks old. Weaponized incompetence, that's what it is.

I think my toddler might be heading down this path. Not due to any conscious decisions I've made, she just instinctively uses being funny to disarm people
