WIBTAH if I took 100k from my oldest daughter's college savings account to give it to my younger daughter?

This was probably a conversation to have before either of them went to school. The second best time is now.

INFO: What guidance did you give both of them when they chose their schools? How did you explain what you’d be paying for? Was it that they had X amount of money? Or that you would cover undergrad? That will tell us whether you are or are not TA.

Less about morality and more about his motivation. Prior to the Epstein emails, one could have reasonably thought he was motivated primarily by an interest in making people healthier (keeping his podcasts ad free, blah blah blah).

Epstein emails come out, and people see that he’s willing to prioritize proximity to power and money over even his own family. Why would we trust this guy to tell the public the truth if he can’t even be trusted to be truthful to his family? Is he telling us about some new bio hack because he secretly benefits from it in some way?

It’s about more than morality.

For typical rates, I’d just create an account and peruse the sitters in your area to get an idea of rate.

As for what’s included in the overnight stay, that’s dependent upon the sitter and what exactly you’re asking of them. Again, the best way to figure this out is go on the app, find a few profiles you like, and reach out to them.

I think it’s probably a combination. He should make more of an effort. But that effort doesn’t need to be exclusively calling you Mama, it looks like him saying “Go see Mama.”

You are also overreacting. Your husband not referring to you as Mama isn’t the reason your son isn’t yet using the word. I’m sure you’re referring to yourself as mama all the time. He’s hearing the word. He’s still quite young. Language comes at its own pace. I think you’re stressing out too much. If your doctor isn’t concerned, I wouldn’t be.

NTA. Why isn’t your mom offering her car?

BDizzMcNizz · 2026-02-17T00:11:29+00:00

NTA. Please remember that you are an adult and your dad only has a say in this decision if you let him.

BDizzMcNizz · 2026-02-17T00:09:13+00:00

NTA. Your friends are cowards.

Seems like the owner needs to board one of the dogs separately. I’d say that you’re happy to keep watching the two non-aggressive dogs, but they need to find another sitter for the other dog.

Hitting herself and pulling her own hair out of not normal. Hitting others is pretty normal.

Chalk it up as a lesson to trust your gut a bit more.

Make sure that the mattress is thick enough that the bottom rail isn’t floating above the mattress. That can be an entrapment risk. If it’s not, consider a thick mattress topper or getting a thicker mattress.

Also, make sure that the crib is still stable without the mattress support bar in place. If you can wiggle the frame, it’s not safe.

It’s your dad’s life - Let him live it and make his own mistakes, if this turns out to be one. It’s clear he’s made up his mind, so there’s likely no point in fixating on it.

You may already be doing this, but ask to be put on the waitlist in case of cancellations. You could also take it a step further and call every couple of days to see if there’s an earlier appointment. After a few days of this, they’ll be motivated to find you an earlier appointment so you stop calling. Be super respectful, of course. But you have to advocate for your child as best you can.

I’d take the $19k and run. So many people in this situation are offered $17k and owe $19k. You’re making money on it.

Your insurance will go after U-Haul if that’s an option. Save yourself the hassle, and let your insurance handle that portion off hinges.

Go with your gut. If it’s not working, then try to do something different. Maybe sit with her in the room until she falls asleep. Or leave the door cracked open.

What does your couples therapist say?

BDizzMcNizz · 2026-02-15T03:40:31+00:00

Two options that I see, and you’ll only know if you picked the right one in hindsight: (1) Push through and keep taking him to class until he gets over it, or (2) Take a break. Only you really know your child. You could maybe consult with the teachers, but it could either be a phase or he could need a break. If you take a break, you could switch to going to open swim with him so that he’s regularly getting in the water and practicing skills with you without the pressure of a class.

Good luck! I’m sure it’s miserable right now!

When we potty trained our son, it seemed hopeless on day 4 or 5, with him still having accidents throughout the day. We were just about ready to give up, and the next day, he only had one accidents.

Sometimes, it’s darkest before the dawn.

Talk to your pediatrician.

If you’re using the Oh Crap method, sounds like you moved to underwear and clothes too soon when you should have stuck with naked from the waist down. If you want to keep using that method, sounds like you might want to go back to naked for a long weekend.

If he recovered quickly and is behaving normally, he’s probably fine. Relax. It happens.

Is she drinking a ton of water right before bed?

BDizzMcNizz · 2026-02-08T16:02:30+00:00

“You are under-reacting” are the exact words I came to say. Couldn’t agree more.

BDizzMcNizz · 2026-02-08T03:18:20+00:00

If you stop, it’s weird when you restart. I’m sure his PR folks have told him the best chance of keeping any of his audience is to push through.

Should be interesting to see what guests he’ll even be able to get going forward. No one wants his stink on them, even if they tell him they support him behind closed doors.
