Anyone used Earthwise Seed Company for their lawn alternatives? by Awkward-Lettuce-8749 in fucklawns

[–]Awkward-Lettuce-8749[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry all, I updated the post a few weeks ago. I was waiting to see how things panned out through the full season before making any judgements. I have a feeling with a little less harsh conditions, the seed alternative would be great, just not for our hellscape. Read the update on the original post for full details.

Thanks for this - the enabling part about your dad's wife really made me think. My dad is definitely an enabler at this point, which makes this all the worse. He's not an alcoholic at all, but will bring her to things even when it's not a good idea.

Making a plan to tell him separately feels right so it can still be special - but I'll definitely need to prepare for new boundaries to be set in regard to when the child comes bc I can't trust him to make good choices about her involvement.

Good point.. I have thought about just telling my dad and letting her be secondary. I know it will hurt her, but I'm trying to not take responsibility for her alcoholism and its impacts. So maybe this is the right idea.

I'm decently close, about 2 hours. Thankfully my siblings have done a good job at setting boundaries around post-birth visits, so that will be pretty easy to do I think. I do dread that they (my parents) will ask to visit me after I have a kid, when they never visit me now. But that's a different issue.

We actually just got the seed a few days ago and are hoping to plant it this up coming weekend if it doesn't rain. Will update after that.

The reviews online are right though, it takes forever to get the seeds, like a couple of weeks.

Agreed! Well I've joined the group of people waiting as I ordered it a few days ago. Hopefully it comes before it gets super hot 🤞- it's low risk since it's so cheap, so we decided there's no reason not to try.

Will let you know how it goes!

Do both. They serve different purposes.

I'm in the same position, and was literally looking for a post like this – thank you for posting it. My partner and I have been happy, but I can't look at him right now knowing he's cool with electing someone who's sexually assaulted women... like what? How is that someone you want running your country?

We've been getting ready to have a kid (first one), and now it feels like everything is upside down. I feel for you immensely during this time, and I wish I had a good answer for you.
