Ikea Duvet cleaning

I have a queen size ikea duvet, it says I can machine wash, so I did and now it just smells so bad and I’ve tried to wash it 3 times now to try get it out and it won’t go away. Who can I take this too to get professionally cleaned? Not dry cleaned.

Does it say why because I’ve had it done a few times

I do laundry stripping on all my bedsheets about twice a year and it helps so much. I also use borax in my laundry stripping.

Laundry stripping is an aggressive form of cleaning your laundry that removes built-up soil, body oils, sweat, and grime from the individual, tightly-woven fibers of your clothing. 
You literally fill a bath tub of very hot water, laundry detergent, borax and washing baking soda along with your laundry and leave it for about 6 hours stirring occasionally. It is so gross how the water turns to black. I usually only strip clean laundry and the water still comes out black. Then you just wash your laundry without detergent in your washer to make sure all the detergent and stuff you used during stripping comes out.
I follow the recipe from go clean co.

Fold the thing in 3 lengthwise. Then fold in up in a "s"shape and put it into your front loader. If you have top loader skip the second step and feed it around the agitator instead

This will let the entire thing get washed

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide
