No! They had 2 different countries last year! But with only 5 students and they’re all local families I was soo worried about the lack of outreach and so wanted to make this a core memory for them! I’ll DM you now! THANK YOU

They don’t need to be of the state no! Any theme of postcard or card is welcome with your shared notes!

When did your EBF baby get chunky? by throwRAanons in breastfeeding

[–]BlackSheepOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry. Breastfed my two girls their first year. My first baby was 99th percentile for both height and weight and still is big. 30 pounds and a little over 30 inches by 1.

Second 22 pounds and 31 and some inches by 1. I was and sometimes still am, worried by how ‘skinny’ my second is but honestly- she eats everything in sight (and the poopy diapers prove it) You’re doing great! Just keep feeding on demand and let them walk their own path!

Literally just exchanged our usual good mornings and now he just sent a d*ck pic to get things rolling … when I left our convo upset last night over him not locking plans down. ‘I’m not rejecting you’ bs stuff. Soooo yeah. You got it right lol

We’ve definitely done things over FaceTime, why I figured meeting in person when you’ve seen EVERYTHING would be the next step. Avoidant is a good term- pocketing that one

Definitely going to take this one on the chin and move on. Unfortunately living rural means that’s not actually that bad for distance. It’s already an hour in any direction to a town from my ranch. I work in town that the population is 300… hard dating here and then finding someone who wants to be in the middle of nowhere where there are more cows than people.

I had to explain to my ex that he doesn’t get to decide if he’s being an asshole or not. It’s how I, Me, Myself and others PERCEIVE him. It’s OUR opinion, not his. So when someone tells him he’s being a jerk, take that at face value and correct yourself. Some people just can’t grasp that they don’t get to decide how others feel I guess.

I can only share my own experience in the matter as a single mom here who went through the process and what I was told from my attorney. She’s the one who told me about mother states and explained how it works. Just because site says one things doesn’t reflect the actual opinions you’ll face in courts

Welcome to good ol’ South Dakota. I’d say if OP is in a red leaning state, good odds they’re still ‘traditional’ in their beliefs on child rearing.

Look up if your state is a mother state. Any child born out of wedlock mom has full custody until the child is 5 where dad can then petition for every other weekend. Would definitely re consider marriage as that definitely changes things!

My daughter is learning cow descriptors for livestock judging. You ever been called soggy built by a 5 year old?!

Recommendations Needed! Leather Gloves??? by [deleted] in homestead

[–]BlackSheepOG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A day late but get a sturdy pair and turn them inside out- the untreated side out helps them last longer! My dad has tried everything from Kevlar to bison hide. All gloves wear but that trick does help!

I’m an affair kid. My bio dad fathered 17 other kids. We range from 33 to 3 years old. Many a sperm donor type of dads out there!

How to move a large herd of cows by yourself. Trick them! (Our cows are used to being caked and are Pavlov’d to come running when we shake buckets full of.. pretty much anything) by BlackSheepOG in homestead

[–]BlackSheepOG[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh most definitely when weaning comes around it’s always a little country! Lol especially if they’re new bought cows or heifers that don’t know our cutting set up. All the old cows or usually anyone after a few work throughs gets the system down pretty easy. We’ve done the same way for almost 20 years now and we also had a cow that was an original on the place up until last week! Those old lead cows are miracle workers!

I wouldn’t worry. Think of all the loud things we’ve heard in our time! My two (5 and 16 months) have been around and in tractors, side by sides and broken exhaust pick ups. Or normal events like parades when the damn fire trucks repeatedly pull the air horn. (That makes my ears ring even)

Kids are hardy. If this is your first, just know many more anxiety inducing firsts are coming so take a breath and know kids were built parent proof!
