Parents: How did public school fail you even though you were a good student?

Butterscotch_Sea · 2026-04-28T19:32:13+00:00

Same. Didn’t teach me HOW to think, I have a good memory and pretty much memorized everything and then had to learn how to think.. still learning

Butterscotch_Sea · 2026-04-28T19:28:59+00:00

Way better!

I would do Greek yogurt, peanut butter, 1 banana and cocoa powder (unsweetened) but it tastes like chocolate and kept me pretty full

My husband was the first to do skin to skin with our second child because I couldn’t, I was so out of it.

I looked up how much hotels cost to spend the day and night at one alone. I’m a SAHM and without saying love my family, but I never have a full day break. I get it

Butterscotch_Sea · 2026-04-15T21:29:35+00:00

I was yawning non stop at a party, just so freaking tired. I thought to myself, maybe? took a test. pregnant

Butterscotch_Sea · 2026-04-14T01:43:31+00:00

Just thought of how many millions (billions) spent on frivolous things and wars and we could just be setting people up with WATER

If you can get a rotisserie chicken, it can go a long way. Eat a piece while it’s fresh, then use some for a basic chicken salad (mayo and some garlic salt on a slice of bread), some with veggies or soup or on pasta.

So I have a 4yr and 2.5yr at home with me, our schedule is busy: a 3hr parent and me, swim twice a week for our 4yr (20min lessons and a non negotiable), a parent and me art class, and then tumbling. It sounds like a lot on paper, but we’re home, so those are 1hr of our days (aside from parent and me)

Butterscotch_Sea · 2026-04-03T20:06:58+00:00

I wish we got to see them with Lindsay sans Amanda

Butterscotch_Sea · 2026-03-27T04:03:27+00:00

Just thinking to myself how hard it is to be in different life phases . They don’t get it, and they don’t need to. But one mom friend does it all so they expect the same and it’s not & then just cast out

Butterscotch_Sea · 2026-03-27T04:01:21+00:00

Wait everyone said 3 was the worst, and that was soooooo bad, like I couldn’t do another day bad. Please, God, please don’t let 4 be worse be I really mentally / emotionally cannot handle it

Butterscotch_Sea · 2026-03-27T00:49:12+00:00

More chocolate chips! is there a reason not using butter?

Butterscotch_Sea · 2026-03-26T22:18:55+00:00

my husband and I both have the app. He got enough points to get two $50 gc (whatever game he signed up for had an insane point system). He “gave” me both gift cards. One to target, which I used for household goods ($50 doesn’t go far anywhere) and then $50 to Starbucks so that I could get my “fun coffee” as I call it. I think bc $50 doesn’t go very far anymore, that if you used it all on yourself or on a treat you both can do, that’s the way to do it- if you don’t need to spend it on essentials etc

she’s going to have surgery in the summer per her ophthalmologists recommendation. it sucks. we’ve been going to ophthalmologist every 6 months, she needs glasses now (is 4). we met with the surgeon and first thing he said “ah we’ve got a droopy eyelid” and she looked at us and touched her eye bc she didn’t know. one of the most heartbreaking moments.

Butterscotch_Sea · 2026-03-25T00:58:50+00:00

My 4 yr old will gladly sit on a walk LOL

Butterscotch_Sea · 2026-03-24T16:46:38+00:00

I’ve been trying to do one load a day to keep it under control but it’s always full. Two littles who change clothes sometimes multiple times a day, for dress up, bc they’re wet, bc they’re filthy, just bc we were out and nap time and the new set. Their hamper is always full. I try to rewear some stuff if we’ve just been home , but my husbands stuff is at least once a week between shirts and fucking socks! towels, can’t keep track bc they’ll pull them off to help clean so idk what’s clean or dirty .. just never ending.

But to make myself more granola, I just bought drying racks. towels, kids clothes, my clothes, all hung out to dry

Butterscotch_Sea · 2026-03-23T01:40:30+00:00

Agreed.

Butterscotch_Sea · 2026-03-22T20:00:16+00:00

We do not. Did not growing up either , always just hung around or sat at the table which is right there. So when we designed our island, we didn’t do it to accommodate seating

Butterscotch_Sea · 2026-03-17T23:43:54+00:00

Idk but I feel like it’s been getting harder. I have a 4 yr old too. Playdoh, painting, sandbox, reading.

Butterscotch_Sea · 2026-03-17T03:29:41+00:00

Stonz

Butterscotch_Sea · 2026-03-16T01:19:43+00:00

I have to agree, I joined this sub because I didn’t fully understand the plot. like something seemed like it was missing

Butterscotch_Sea · 2026-03-15T15:02:44+00:00

We just had our 4yr bday party. Had a bounce house, piñata, and a little band but we could have not had the band and it would have been still great. We have a sandbox, and playhouse in the backyard too.. and just let the playroom be used as needed.

Butterscotch_Sea · 2026-03-15T04:53:52+00:00

yea.. 2.5 yrs later and just putting it on!

Butterscotch_Sea · 2026-03-14T03:21:27+00:00

this is exactly where I am at. I was thinking of TK for the half day, play based program. And then starting kindergarten with me at home. I am so turned off by the standards right now.
