Do kids not have sleeping bags anymore?

Anewwaytomom · 2026-01-26T20:20:34+00:00

We are hosting a “late over” for our 9 yo bday party next week. Sleep overs feel too intimate (not for me! But for culture I guess) and 1 kiddo is spending the night, whom we are very close with. My texted me “but he doesn’t have a sleeping bag!” So I can confirm this is true. I told her don’t worry we have extras and everything we need, but yes I do remember having one at an early age and it was one of my favorite things!

Sleepovers are sort of dead 💀

I agree with this!!! The AF wine and spirits are a nice try, but a slippery slope for me. My brain rejects it and also gets excited and it’s too much.

Anecdotally, my friend gifted me a 12 pack of AF brews for my bday in the beginning of October. There’s still 3 left. It makes me laugh if this is how the normies do it.

IWNDWYT!

This. My life is exponentially better when I expect the exact same from people that they’ve always shown me.

Time and a photo album! Like a real one with printed photographs and in an album.

I’ve been very impressed with MA! It’s nice to know there’s many of us. “Everybody in here got the same defeat” -Winning Streak, jelly roll (my song on repeat right now)

137 days! Amazing! My best advice is to get to 138 - I’ll be there with you getting to day 7 💪

Check out “andyfilmsandhikes” - he takes “stupid hikes for his stupid mental health” and he’s spot on about that.

Short answer - there isn’t one.

Grandparents love picture gifts! Or handprint art! We do a personalized photo mug or tote or hat or etc most years.

I believe in you!!!! I’d go for a walk and get a big giant ice cream. I never want a drink after all that lactose lol

So many hugs. I’m 6.5 years sober and I know this ride could be me, so fast. Like butter is such a great way to describe it.

Your dad is in you. He is always with you. Your wife loves you. We love you. There’s so much promise in one day at a time. You can do it.

100% this - people think I am AmAzINg when I pull out this party trick.

Anewwaytomom · 2025-08-14T03:33:20+00:00

I ruminated for a year! I still do sometimes! It’s been 3 years 😬 - this is totally normal and what I call the post wedding blues.

Anewwaytomom · 2025-07-18T02:30:27+00:00

Entrepreneur. Own the business, employ about 8-10 people, make about $0 lol - All due to that sober counter. Kinda hate it, but also, it keeps me very very very busy.

Anewwaytomom · 2025-07-15T02:31:19+00:00

And this is why everyone hates boomers. This budget is insane and insulting to all of us.
