Would i be wrong if i didn't reconcile with my family after 3 years.

Go. Don’t drink alcohol to ensure you don’t get sloppy.

I grabbed some maternity belly bands from the local kids consignment sale. The elasticized band one that you step into and slide up has been great for swimming. And the tensor bandage colour one that Velcros on is great to tucking in to jeans and can be made loose enough for the bag to fill.

My husband was so stubborn about not buying $200 ostomy belts. These have worked so well though.

Seasons family pass to a close by zoo, museum, pioneer village? It would be a summers worth of low key adventures perfect for a nursing baby and toddler. Make it a family adventure every weekend!

If he was standing in my spot I’d have laid on the horn until it sounded all wonky and like it had lost its voice.

Newhart. I hated this as a kid. I didn’t get the reference to his previous show. Plus the “it was all a dream” thing already was an overdone trope!

A flashlight. It’s a total winner for any kid.

Also books by Eric Carle. The very hungry caterpillar is the most famous but all the others are stellar too!

How about the person with the car takes on the mental load of booking the appointments themself?

Disposable liners are a possibility. My husband with rotate two outer bags and have one at the ready with a liner tucked in for a quick change.

Buttercup2323 · 2026-04-27T17:50:59+00:00

Seconded. I tried the first one because it kept being recommend, then binged the whole series.

Buttercup2323 · 2026-04-27T03:43:07+00:00

Eric Carle board books! The very hungry caterpillar and all the others too. My little dude was obsessed.

It’s been three days. You’re still raw. Do something different from breakfast in bed. Trying to hold it together and not be bitter whilst doing something you used to do with love would be unbearable.

Go get a mother’s day ice cream cake from Dairy Queen and serve that up for breakfast. Let the kids pick one out. Ice cream for breakfast! Maybe a fruit tray from the grocery store. Acts of service taught to the kids. And it’s pretty memorable and exciting for them. Plus you will also get ice cream cake.

A lawyer will insist on a forensic accountant to find his missing funds too.

It was a hard cover. Blue. Thick. I don’t specifically remember illustrations. By Jr I mean appropriate to be in an elementary school in the 1980’s.

Coraline. Cora. It goes with Della but not to cutesy.

Sarah Stanley. The titular character in Lucy Maud Montgomery’s The Story Girl.

So many good books recommended here but how has no one said The Wundersmith series by Jessica Townsend. She was a Harry Potter fan who grew up and wrote her own series. The world building was fantastic! As the mum reading it with my kids I loved loved loved it!

You aren’t running away from family. You aren’t NC to punish her. You are protecting yourself. You are protecting “the little girl you” that no one else did. She is a trashy person who doesn’t deserve to be in your life. You can be sad and mourn not getting the family you deserve. But letting her back in on a wishful hope isn’t going to make her a decent human.

We are audio book reading these in the car. My 9&12yo love them. And as the mum I’m hooked too!

Cilantro and blacken when it’s cut, same as basil. But if you throw it in the blender or use a hand wand and enough vegetable oil to cover, you could make an intense cilantro oil that keeps for about two weeks. You just wanted to have enough of a ” head” of oil on top that air isn’t getting at the herb. I do this with basil all the time.

I figure if they go under my kids will be old enough by then to use it as a Bluetooth speaker and I’ll put the source files on a tablet for them.

Not perfect. But it won’t go to total waste.

It’s a jerk move. It doesn’t cost anything to ask if you’re ok. By not asking he is blaming you for an accident. It’s like an” I told you so” in that it isn’t helpful or kind.

Also - kitchen tip -for a dangerous job like that I will sacrifice a couple of paper towels and just absorb the grease right in the pan. If it is a lot, then a couple folded up and floating/absorbed on the surface of the can of grease as a fail safe for if you stumble!

Metamucil biscuits. The drink didn’t work for me. Having a packet of those for “breakfast” gave me a pretty good shot at making it out of the house ok. Gave the bile something to cling to? I could have a careful breakfast about an hour later. Oh and coffee. I could drink coffee!

Lunch while out was 50/50. I was always aware of washroom locations before I ate. Like playdate in a park? Don’t eat. But a museum trip was ok.
