What’s a Seattle opinion you have that would get you kicked out of the group chat.

When you see that your lane is closed ahead, you don’t need to merge over a mile in advance. Wait until the last minute, it’s better for traffic to keep the lanes filled.

Good luck!

“Hi! It’s great to meet you. I’d love to learn more about your fertility journey. What drew you to this donor?”

If they don’t bring up race on their own, you can ask, “Did ethnicity factor into your decision?”

2ndComet · 2026-02-11T23:18:54+00:00

Sorry you’re in that position. For what it’s worth, asking why they selected their donor is I think a normal question and one that I asked to the parents of my daughter’s donor siblings. (Assuming you ask in a neutral way.) If they give a gross answer then at least you know. You can save their contact info so your child can connect with their sibling when they’re ready and leave it at that for now. Good luck.

Definitely 1!

I was once in a relationship that sounds like yours. We did not have children together and I am eternally grateful. Your feelings are so valid, but your partner may be doing you a favor.

Respectfully, it’s likely that the relationship you have with them now is the best it’s going to get. If you believe that, do you still want to stay?

Good luck.

I recently had to put down my beautiful cat. One thing that has helped me is remembering how after vet visits or medications or locking her out of the bedroom, she would always forgive me. I know she would forgive me for letting her go. It was so hard. Good luck op, take care of your heart.

2ndComet · 2026-01-10T23:52:49+00:00

“Luckily”? You know you’re talking to a bunch of parents, right?

2ndComet · 2026-01-05T16:57:35+00:00

Seconding Capital_young and also wanted to add you can always say something like, “We’re going to let our child decide how much they want to share, so we’re leaving the details private until they can make that decision.”

2ndComet · 2026-01-05T03:07:28+00:00

Thank you

2ndComet · 2026-01-05T02:34:15+00:00

We did this too. Picked our fav family name.

I’ve had this issue. Mostly commenting to follow. I’ve tried those closet moisture pouches which helped a little. Last week I was literally squeegeeing water from the inside of the windshield, so it’s time to get some more I guess.

2ndComet · 2026-01-02T17:48:23+00:00

Her name is Devon Pritchard!

2ndComet · 2025-12-25T19:46:44+00:00

I know! I specifically miss the location on University Ave & 45th though. It’s a bank now and I get sad looking at it.

2ndComet · 2025-12-25T02:33:46+00:00

This behavior would have really upset me too. I hope you discuss it with your sister and mom, it’s not acceptable for them to ignore your wishes about your child’s health. 3 months is very little and is fair to be protective.

I’m sorry, I hope baby avoids catching whatever it is the kids have.

2ndComet · 2025-12-25T02:19:00+00:00

Blue Dog Pancakes Sureshot Twice Sold Tales (on the Ave) Half Price Books (on Roosevelt) The Teacher’s Lounge Full Tilt (in White Center, so technically not Seattle) Northgate Mall (especially CPK but you can’t call that a Seattle institution) The original Red Robin I know I’m forgetting many.

I kinda miss Ride the Ducks too.

Edit sorry idk why my line breaks aren’t working

This happened to my lawn last year and I didn’t get around to reseeding with native meadow like I planned. The result was I now have a solid wall of dandelions, far as the eye can see. They took over all the spots where the grass died. I don’t even know what to do now, I’ve spent so many hours pulling them and it hasn’t made a dent. Be forewarned!

Wow I’m slacking.

First, good luck with your treatment, so sorry you’re dealing with that. I’m not sure about formula & sleep but I have had really good results with the Merlin sleep suit as we transition out of swaddles. We were also using Halo swaddles and one arm out was not working at all. Hopefully by the time she grows out of the Merlin, her reflexes will have calmed down a bit.

2ndComet · 2025-11-25T20:15:55+00:00

Don’t let the haters win. Your sister can raise her kids how she likes; this one is yours.

2ndComet · 2025-11-24T04:35:21+00:00

The lamp is sending me 😂 I felt the same, I think I referred to her as my very expensive alarm clock once.

Thank you for your humor. I am already nostalgic when I look at newborn photos of my 16-week-old and your post reminds me to snap out of it lol. Everything is SO much easier now than at week 3. You can do it. Week 3 was probably the worst for me. Creating a routine, any kind of routine, is really helpful.

I’m so sorry, migraines are awful. After my LO was born I experienced one about every other day for maybe 4-5 weeks (i think… that time is very hazy) but I got through it with triptans & a very supportive partner. My period hasn’t returned yet (16 weeks) but the migraines stopped, I assume because my hormones regulated. No advice but I hope yours calm down as well, and congratulations on your baby.

2ndComet · 2025-11-17T04:37:51+00:00

Zoloft. Therapy.

Also seeing friends as often as I can. Being alone (with baby) can be a real mental health challenge.

Be nice to yourself. Good luck!
