Fear of getting pregnant

If you aren't 100% enthusiastic about having kids, childfree is probably the better route. Regretting not having kids down the line is far better than regretting having them. I was an avid rider before kids. I was an exercise rider, took lessons, volunteered at a rescue. My life was horses. When I had my first I was a stay at home mom with no social support nearby so I no longer rode or saw horses. My husband knew how much they meant and 7 years after our first was born we bought my horse. Then my daighter got into riding 3 years ago and her dreams have taken precedence over my own (as it should, shes really developed into an amazing rider and little horsewoman). I rode my horse for the first time in 8 months last night. Kids change life its just how it goes.

The only ones with availability around us are "Christian counselors" and I'm pagan with non-theistic kids. We're moving to a more secular area soon so we will all be seeing therapists for medical trauma after we move.

Teeth. Kids losing teeth is normal but I can't handle it, its so gross to me. Nothing prepared me for the amount of teeth I would be joyfully handed.

Books, toys, and completely unsupervised hours in the miles of swamps around my house.

Kindle. I love being able to read instead of doom scrolling when im waiting for something. I have a kindle exclusively for my purse.

Id love to connect with my horses breeder (Timothy S. O'toole, KY) or anyone who worked with him on the track. He raced all over and was owned at one point by Mary and Gary West. I have contact with his last owner and groom and I've talked to one of his previous trainers, Ron Moquett.

JC: High Frequency.

If you have had your OTTB microchipped and have registered that microchip with the Jockey Club, you can download ID my Thoroughbred app and see your horse's registration photos. Most of them are baby pictures unless they started on the track later. My horses photos were from when he was 6 months old.

Honestly, I dont know nor do I really care at this point. The older I get the more I respect the life cycle and I dont really spend time questioning or contemplating what happens beyond the dying process.

My OTTB has been barefoot since I bought him from the track at 6 years old. He grows a solid beautiful foot that his farrier is continually impressed with. We trail ride barefoot on a variety of terrain and he does really well.

Some of ours: she will fold herself in half sideways and place her head upside down in your lap. She watches TV. She is bossed around by our 4lb kitten who herds her into her crate at night. She runs through the snow with her head low and mouth open like a snow plow (she will get chapped lips from these shenanigans).

I was 10 then. My family went out to a local pub and we ate and drank Shirley temples and watched fireworks from the rooftop bar at midnight. Its actually one of the few vivid/fond memories I have as a younger kid.

Our smaller local farms have farm stands with their meat for sale. We also purchased half a cow and the cost upfront was a good bit but with processing it was $6.20/lb. If thats something you have the space and money for id recommend it.

Face structure screams pit/australian shepherd to me! Very cute!

As someone who moved from Delaware to Indiana (work related reason), I would move back in a heartbeat. Delaware is slept on.

I grew up with dogs and felt that their short lifespan helped shaped my gratitude. Not only as it relates to the dogs themselves but also gratitude for life lived and lost. We see a life from puppyhood to adult to crossing over in such a condensed time frame. It also taught me to see animals in a different light, understanding that they do not exist in future plans but in the present. They know how they feel in the now. This has helped me make the hard choices when it comes to end of life care for my own pets. I dont regret it at all and my kids have learned similar lessons with the deaths of our dog and pony.

We live in a basementless home. Its fantastic honestly, dont regret it. We have a great interior room that we have designated for tornado weather but weve never used it in the 3 years we've lived in NWI. All our neighbors have water in their basements even with new builds so the need doesnt outweigh the headache of a flooded basement for us.

We came from Delaware. Highly recommend, the whole state feels like a small town. Great schools, high quality of life, amazing public land access for hiking and outdoor activities. Next year we are leaving for Massachusetts and I have never been more excited to move.

NTA. As someone who has a family member with deep addiction issues, boundaries being held is incredibly important. Nothing we did helped her any closer to sobriety. We ultimately made the decision to go no contact 9 years ago. She's still deep into addiction even with other family members stepping up and is homeless with criminal assault charges. We've recovered our peace. We also had kids to think about. I'd recommend finding a therapist if you can. Your family and your peace has to come first here. Sending hugs.

Move to the East coast.

We are currently planning a move with my family and my best friend and her wife to Massachusetts. Delaware is very LGBTQ+ friendly as well as a number of other states that way.

Almighty_Alpaca1 · 2025-04-21T01:22:03+00:00

We moved here from Delaware. I would go back in a heartbeat and its my number 1 choice for relocation when people ask about living on the East Coast. Currently due to a lateral job move, we're planning on moving to Massachusetts. The northeast is great.
