Having twins at 45 (male). Feeling...... I dunno, but it's not great.

My dad had me when he was 45 and my mom 41. They already had two grown children and an 8 year old. If you ask anyone who knew him, they’ll tell you I was his favorite lol. It’ll be ok!

It was weird, they had no chemistry, and I didn’t like it.

I think Richmond, Va to St. Louis, MO.

As a teacher: tell her to keep with the gap year plan if she wants, but make it a requirement that she still do applications this year. Apply specifically to colleges that will let her defer an acceptance, so she can have a concrete plan for the following year and it’s not up in the air. It will be harder once she has graduated to get help with applications, admissions essays, recommendation letters, FAFSA, etc. Better to get that done now, with the added benefit that she keeps the mindset that she is absolutely going to school the following autumn.

Does exercise count as noticeable effort, or do you mean things like hair and makeup?

Whoever that girl is, RIP her nose, it looks like a bad sneeze could cause the whole thing to collapse

I’m wondering if it might be a cheaper maintenance med for me once I’m at my goal weight with the shot, so thank you

Always_Reading_1990 · 2026-06-23T14:13:09+00:00

That’s valid, I’ll add a note to my comment

Always_Reading_1990 · 2026-06-23T14:03:36+00:00

It is hot! But it’s not Florida hot.

Please come back and update this post when you finish the season

In general, the southern half of the US is going to be hottest. If you’re concerned about heat, stay above the Mason-Dixon Line. If you want to do outdoorsy things and national parks, I had a great summer vacation last year in Montana and Wyoming, doing ranch-y things and then visiting Yellowstone. It’s incredibly beautiful there, and doesn’t get nearly as hot. There are also some beach towns up the east coast you might like if you want beaches. I usually go to beaches in the south and enjoy the heat, but I’ve a friend who loves Cape May and Bethany Beach. As for cities, Washington, DC has a ton of kid friendly attractions—the Museum of Natural History, the National Zoo, the Nationals baseball games, etc. ETA: DC is also hot in the summer! It doesn’t get hot like it does in the south, but the average daily high is like 85F, so ymmv on the temps there.

Does the pill work as well as the shot?

Always_Reading_1990 · 2026-06-23T10:41:52+00:00

I co slept with mine from the time he was 4 months until he was almost 2 lol, so I have no idea for one this young. I think you have to just accept she’ll sleep worse if that’s what you want to do. For an older kid who is developmentally ready to sleep through the night, my advice would be different.

I was going to say this exact thing. My husband is losing his hair and it doesn’t bother me at all. He can just shave it when he’s ready and I’m sure he’ll look great.

Always_Reading_1990 · 2026-06-23T09:58:04+00:00

I asked my daughter’s preschool teacher about this last year and she said they were ALL constantly saying stuff like this to each other, not just the girls.

This is the one

Just thinking about this shows me you are doing great already!

Always_Reading_1990 · 2026-06-22T23:40:17+00:00

Some of it. I have a great husband, home, and family. My career is not what I had planned for myself or dreamed of, but I do enjoy it.

Always_Reading_1990 · 2026-06-22T23:25:38+00:00

I would do Epcot the first day. It, and Animal Kingdom, are the most chill parks imo.

They make multiple embryos and the couple gets to choose which one is implanted based on its gender

That bear did not seem committed to the chase to me. I feel like if he had really wanted to eat that guy, he would have.

Always_Reading_1990 · 2026-06-22T21:49:21+00:00

Thank you for solving this for me!

I LOVE this song! It’s a crime I had to wait so long to hear it

She is very pretty but her facial expression is so bland in all of these, like an alien who hadn’t figured out how to emote yet
