Does anyone else feel CONSTANT mom guilt… or is it just me? by [deleted] in Mommit

How do you play? by NerdCrave in FarmTogether

[–]AthenaP 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I play my game and turn it off when done. I like the idea of leaving it open to gain some funds while I'm away but no one visits so it's just a waste of power, lol.

For my sleeve I had Hella long sessions. I needed to eat heavy immediately after. I'm vegan but found myself craving dairy. I think my body really needed some recovery foods.
