I cannot believe the nerve of some people!

How sweet of that woman to buy you a new bottle.
Dreft is really expensive. A cheeper alternative would be to use Tide Free, All Free, or another brand that is free of perfumes and dyes.

All has a baby detergent that isn't quite so expensive too. I'm actually allergic to DREFT (I've got super sensative skin) and am relieved that the doctor has already said not to use it for washing the baby's clothes. It is actually going to save me the money. Hubby and I are going to use the baby detergent to wash all our stuff just to save money.

On a side note, Dreft powder is a bit less expensive and goes further then the liquid.

Good luck and bless that nice lady for buying you a new bottle. Those random acts of kindness are what makes this world a better place to live in.

I know! That was the sweetest thing a person has done for me in quite some time.

I will definitely look for the powder next time I purchase some. I didn't see any last time I went to Albertson's but knowing me I probably didn't look hard enough.

You know I didn't even think of that. I guess I just figured Dreft was the only type of baby detergent I could use. I will check into those and give them a try. Thanks for the tip.

He's had the cops called on him once before by the person who lives right next door to him on the top floor, with happens to be a friend of mine. We've called the landlord once on him because he was making so much noise and had a couple living with him. We complained about noise and he got a letter from the landlord telling him the people needed to get out and the noise needs to stop. Before that he had another couple living with them who had a 9 month old baby. They were from Montana I believe. The guy would beat his gf and I had to report that to the police. Eventually they moved back to where they came from. I felt awful for the little baby and the young women. She was all but 19 years old and really had no clue what life was all about. They were sleeping on a mattress on the living room floor and the baby didn't even have his own sleeping quarters. He would walk around barefoot outside in his walker and get filthy. I felt so bad for that child.

Now it seems they have people living there again. I guess I'm just scared of him "getting revenge" on us. He already questioned us the time he got the notice from the landlord, so I know he knows we were the ones who called. I told my roomate last night that the next time they keep me up I will have to call the police. I'm going to go upstairs later on today to give the lady the card, and hopefully we can try to figure something out together. I guess the person next to me has also become quite annoyed at their late night antics too, so maybe something can be done about this very soon. I think his chances of being kicked out are a lot greater if more than one person complains.

I was wondering the same thing. "What's so different about Dreft? Why couldn't someone use one of the other "Free" detergents?" That or one of the natural ones. I LOVED the stuff we bought from the health food store.

And honestly, i found that nothing cleans poo better than baking soda.

I do hope you get this whole ordeal straighted out soon. *ehem* yeah... "straightened." Power in numbers. *Hugs*

This was my immediate thought, Cass. Please don't put yourself in a dangerous situation. You need to protect yourself and Kai, first.

Why in the world would a drug addict need Dreft?? People make me so mad.

Well honestly I didn't realize there was anything else out there that would be ok to use for baby, as Dreft is supposed to be ph balanced and safe for the skin. I didn't even think to use anything else. Now that I know ALL makes a baby detergent I will try that, especially since it's cheaper.

But that's not the point. The point is how ridiculous they are to steal something like that. And socks! Gee.

Exactly, and my main priority is keeping my kids safe, which means finding a way to get him out of the apartments while at the same time making sure I stay safe while doing that. Which is why I thought if more than one person in the apartments say something chances are the landlord will tell him there has been more than one complain from different people and hopefully he won't react in a way that would make me feel scared to be in my own home. It's just a sticky situation.

At least I am moving in a few months into a better area of town which happens to be closer to work too.

Oh I would have been soo mad if that happend to me!! I can totally understand what your going thorugh, I hate it when my roomates take stuff without asking and pretend that it just "magically got used".. GRRR I would complain to your landlord right away. Tell him/her you dont feel safe living in the same building as this freak!!.. You have every right to say somthing, not only as a mother, but as a resident.
