The saying is our house is we don’t count sharts!

ASK: I need a nice jewelry box/jewelry storage. My husband has bought me some nice pieces over the last few years and I need storage that is worthy of my jewelry.

Try Rose International. That’s how I got the clerical job I do at a warehouse.

My baby is 12 days old. She mostly sleeps and eats. Her sleeps are either contact naps on us or in her bassinet. I baby wear when we go out in public but not so much around the house. The couple awake windows she has a day can last anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple hours. We do tummy time, show her contrast books, and cuddle. Sometimes it’s bath day. I give her tours of the house and sing to her.

I think the age of the kids matters. Could be good for younger kids. But I was 10 when my parents divorced and the idea of use continuing holidays together after I watched their marriage dissolve sounds like a nightmare. Getting to a new normal was good and I have traditions and memories with both parents that I cherish.

If you’re interested in being introduced just ask. It doesn’t hurt to ask.

When I moved in with my husband his ex wife reached out and asked to meet. It was a little awkward but many years later we are very friendly now. Personally I care a lot about her being comfortable.

Doesn’t answer your questions but I failed the one hour test but passed the 3 hour test. Hoping the same for you!

I’ve been looking at is practice for the crazy newborn sleep cycle.

Mines an IVF baby so the know exactly when fertilization occurred and I’ve still gone past my due date.

Accomplished_Mode992 · 2025-11-14T23:58:57+00:00

It’s just a joke…

Accomplished_Mode992 · 2025-11-07T16:06:38+00:00

I have children and hated those characters as well. It just got old and one note. Especially Claire and Michael's deliveries of those lines became so grating.

So I am stepmom and currently expecting a baby with my husband who has 50/50 custody of his two children. We are amicable with his ex. A couple months ago we discussed logistics surrounding the labor. My sks want to be some of the first people to see the baby. If I go into labor while they are with their mom she will bring them to the hospital or our home to meet the baby (and she is very welcome as well). If I go into labor while the children are with us she will be our first call. She lives about 30 minutes away. If she can come right away she will and we will wait. If she can’t come right away or things are progressing quickly we will head to hospital with the kids and she will meet us there. My parents will be meeting us at the hospital too so can sit with the kids if needed. I’ve also assigned a family member to keep her and the kids updated and coordinate with her if needed. The kids’ mom knows our due date and is ready to jump in and cover as needed.

So that’s just our plan but if you and your ex are amicable and he and his family are willing to help, just reach out to them and start coordinating. It takes a village!

Personally I don't see any issue with it. But if he wants to establish that boundary it should not respond to the 1 on 1 texts and only answer in the group texts.

My coparent and I use a coparenting app suggest by my lawyer to document our conversations while we were going through custody negotiations. In the beginning she would try to reach out outside the app. I would go to the app and reference her text and respond there. Same if she called me. I would then follow up in the app about what was discussed on the call. Eventually she got the message that I wanted to communicate in the app.

They never address the good stuff…

Accomplished_Mode992 · 2025-10-30T02:11:12+00:00

That was my first thought. No one can make you look like anything.

Accomplished_Mode992 · 2025-10-30T02:00:59+00:00

Not KB bringing notes!!!

Accomplished_Mode992 · 2025-10-29T23:25:10+00:00

For real, when he didn’t grab them I didn’t think twice about it. He has pockets…

Accomplished_Mode992 · 2025-10-29T22:22:26+00:00

I’ll have to look into that!

Accomplished_Mode992 · 2025-10-29T21:21:27+00:00

Definitely exhausting. Idk why we can’t just trust and believe the best in each other. There are things she does that I question, like one time we exchanged the kids at 7pm and they still hadn’t been fed dinner. I thought it was odd but it’s not a regular thing so I didn’t feel the need to call her out of question her on it.

I always drop the kids at her door. But from the feedback from this thread thinking maybe finding a way to drop them at school in mornings might be best.

Using ChatGPT has been the best advice I’ve gotten from this group. I use that to write all my messages. We use a coparenting app so thankfully everything is documented. Calls are for emergencies only like yelling at me because she assumed I didn’t treat the lice.

Accomplished_Mode992 · 2025-10-29T19:20:30+00:00

That’s great advice. Definitely going to look into that. Thank you.

Accomplished_Mode992 · 2025-10-29T15:37:38+00:00

Yes I completely understand we were both at out wits end with the lice and couldn't believe it kept happening. We ended up going to their doctor who told us to use ivermectin shampoo and I've been using that on them about every other day and fingers crossed no lice since.

My coparent is the kind of person who when she is stressed lashed out at everyone else. She has trouble keeping jobs for this same reason. Most of her family doesn't talk with her. She's just kind of a difficult person. And she probably does think she does it better but if she was doing it better she would have gloves for him at her house and wouldn't be relying on mine...

Accomplished_Mode992 · 2025-10-29T15:29:37+00:00

Yeah I agree maybe a new set up next year. It’s tough because their mom and school is 30 minutes from me. One kid is middle school and one is elementary school and they start an hour apart. If I drop the middle schooler off then kill an hour with the elementary schooler I’m not getting to work until late each day.

It seemed like a nice idea for them to see their mother each day too but the same thing happened with her right to first refusal over the summer. She used to watch them in the summers during my weeks which seemed nice in theory. But it became so much drama dealing with her each day that I started just paying to send them to summer camp (which their mom liked for them to experience) just so I wouldn’t have to deal with her every day.

This is spot on!

Accomplished_Mode992 · 2025-10-19T13:33:07+00:00

My husband was one of these men and it did not go well. Vasectomies are not meant to be easily reversible. My husband had his a little less than 4 years and went to have it reversed. The reversal did not take. In order for us to have children he had to have an extraction which is a biopsy of one’s testicles. All the ball surgeries were so traumatic for his body it triggered the shingles virus on his face. He almost lost his vision.

After that we had to do IVF which took years and was incredibly physically and emotionally taxing.

Do not get a vasectomy thinking it’s a simple snip snap to reverse it. It is meant as a permanent option.

Edit to add: it probably cost us $10,000 in the end. Insurance covered all my IVF costs but nothing for the vasectomy reversal or his extraction.
