a little background.

i have a friend, a woman i have been friends with for about 3 or 4 years now. my son and her son are 9 mos. almost to the minute apart. she got pregnant on what i guess would qualify as a one night stand sort of(?). she went on another date w/ a guy she had gone out w/ several months before, and had been hanging out w/ as a friend for sometime in between. they got tipsy, and didnt use any protection even though my friend knew she was ovulating, b/c she didnt tell him to be careful. so she ended up being a single mom, as she didnt really want the dad in the picture(she is in her late 30′s, and the guy was about his mid 20′s and a college student). she eventually told the guy about their son, and got his medical information for her son’s sake.

she told me all of this, and i figured it was her life and she could do what she wanted. she wanted to keep the baby, and her plan was to only give him breastmilk and organic baby food, only use glass and bpa free bottles and only dress him in organic cotton clothing, and have him in organic cloth diapers or the 7th generation diapers at all times. & do all of this on a retail position salary. okay. sure. the organic clothes & diapers seemed a bit much on that budget, but okay.

i went to her baby shower and bought her some of the bottles off of her registry(as there wasnt much on there, and the bottles were pretty expensive for someone who was-and still is- unemployed). the days she spent at the hospital(she had low fluid and had to be induced) i would text her and her doula who was a friend of ours to see how she was doing. it took her about 2 days to finally deliver.

i went to the mall w/ her and her son(who was about 3-4 months at this point). i held him and played w/ him(i love little babies, so i didnt mind) while she went in a few different stores. we got some gelato together, and hung out.

her mother will only keep the baby while she is at work from what i can tell, but if he starts crying, she has to come home from work to get him settled. (i know how hard this can be as my mil is the same way w/ my son for the most part). she was also joking on her fb page that her son took off his shirt so he wouldnt have to go in the car, and she stayed at home w/ him rather than putting his shirt back on and going.

recently however, she keeps blowing off play dates for our son’s at the last minute. we have moved and are down to one car now, and i dont have a license as i have no job to pay for it(we live in a state that you have to be insured to drive). where we have moved however, is not so far away that it would be hard for her to drive, and i have told her that if it is a problem to drive out to where i live, to let me know and i will try to make other arrangements to get to where she is, and she always says that she wants to see the apartment(we have been here about 2 1/2 mos., and we have been trying to set up these play dates the entire time we have lived here b/c her son is now 9 mos. so he is big enough to play w/ my son a bit). we then make plans, and then the day of, right about the time she is supposed to be at my house, i get a phone call: her son is still napping(she doesnt wake him after 2 hours either- she just lets him sleep. the other day she couldnt come over b/c he was "napping" from about 1pm to 4:30 or 5 pm), or her son is suddenly sick and they "don’t want to come over and get us sick".

i understand that children get sick periodically and that things can and do happen sometimes that make it impossible to do things you planned on w/ kids, but today is like the 10th time in a row. i have gotten to the point i dont even bother to do extra cleaning if we have made plans b/c there is no point, i know she won’t show up. my husband is getting fed up b/c he sees how much it hurts me(i dont have many friends, and since i dont have a car or a job, it’s not like i can just go to my friends houses or get out much). i am also getting tired of getting my son excited about getting to play w/ someone, and then they never show up.

what would you think?
if she just told me "hey, i have other plans today" or something like that i wouldnt be mad. but there has been more than a few of the times that i can tell she is outright lying to me, as she is horrible at lying.
i have an 18 mo. old that i take care of virtually by myself all the time. i do not lie about my child napping or being sick to get out of plans i made w/ someone. also, i have seen via her fb page that she goes and sees her other friends a lot(comments from these other friends on her page, along w/ comments from her, whereas i leave a message for her on her page, and there is never a response, written or otherwise).
this has also been going on for about 4 mos., & she hasnt been worried about or talked to her son’s father in about 2 years.
im really not trying to be insensitive, im just getting the feeling like she really doesnt have any interest in seeing me or my son, which if that is the case, i would rather her just not contact me.

As in clothes. Or as in the Ergo baby carrier. What’s the difference in the fabric? Is one more breathable than the other or is one more "hot"?

4th time posting since I got zero replies (except for one rude person). I’ve posted this in Do it Yourself, Green Living and under Laundry. I hope this is the right category this time…

Is it possible to dye woven organic cotton with chlorophyll and zero chemicals? How to do it to obtain a pastel green or mint green shade? (It’s the shade typically used in baby clothes & bedding in color green)

I’ve spilled liquid chlorophyll on my counters and clothes before and the stains are premanent. I’m not worried about "colorfastnest" I know it will last. I’m googling and getting nowhere.

I have chemical allergies and was looking for colorgrown organic cotton, in a woven fabric, color mint green or even dusty seafoam green but I can’t find that and why I want to try to do it myself. (If you have links to that, please feel free to share!) )

I just want a recipe, a how to on how to do it, basically. Please do NOT suggest so called "low-impact dyes", they are synthetic and highly toxic.

Links much appreciated!

Thanks.

Sometimes I see comments that Carter’s clothes has poor quality. Honestly, I don’t see anything wrong with their clothes, they have cute stuff and it made out of cotton and they even have organic clothes. So what is your opinion – does carters clothes has poor or good quality and why?

I live in St. Paul, Minnesota. I’ve looked on Craigslist and poked around ebay but haven’t had much luck. There’s a store called Peapod’s, but all the organic cotton/hemp/bamboo-woven baby clothes are SUPER expensive. I don’t want to spend that much when my 3-month-old girl is just going to end up spitting up or pooping on some/most of these garments. At the same time, though, I’d like to "go green" with my baby. So recommendations?? Please and thanks!
