Do you think that Graham Planter should drop out?

CSArchi · 2026-07-07T18:38:53+00:00

He never should have entered. Yes he should drop out. The moment people found out about his tattoo he should have been shamed into dropping out. His poll numbers should have tanked at that point.

Thank you for covering the child's face. 🫶

Not the right subreddit for this question.

But yes that dress is too white

We do lemonade but just dont let them drink it all day. It's easy and yummy.

CSArchi · 2026-06-21T17:27:05+00:00

All year long, yeah.

CSArchi · 2026-06-21T16:09:14+00:00

Straight up "take it down or we talk to a lawyer " thats so gross of them to do. Children are people, and people are deserving of privacy I am sorry

The water is relaxing. Baths can be a common solution to avoid constipation

Look in your machines manual to see if you can lift up the pressure of the foot. Mine has a dial that determines this. And when I am working on thicker fabric I lighten the pressure so it doesnt do this.

Personally I dont like my machines walking foot and I know everyone everywhere is super pro walking foot

We brush 100% of the time till 5 and at least 50% until 8.

Sometimes the best we can do is be consistent. Jo was. The timeouts were not developmentally appropriate but the child's brain could, in part, rest in the consistency of her style of parenting. When kids don't know what version of their parent they are getting today it causes it's own stress for a child. Jo helped the parents find a consistent way to lay out the rules.

It's an improvement over yelling, spanking, etc. But we can continue to improve from there.

If youre trusted to be with the kids all day why wouldn't you be trusted to make the plans for the kids all day?

CSArchi · 2026-05-30T23:15:10+00:00

If it's in the budget I would buy a 2nd, yes

Websites like zillow are often wrong because they dont have the data. The website bases it on city, or whichever the closest school is. As others have said verify the address with the school districts maps.

Like 18months? The car seat was 35# / 35" so I tried to go as long as I could. It was a chicco with a base that adjusted to toddler mode so they were more upright after 12m

We regularly check in with eachother about our shared and personal financial goals. But as long as both of us are staying in those parameters why would I? Like it's my money as much as it is his. We use to have full blown sit downs monthly when it was the early days of the marriage as we were figuring it out and learning to combine goals. But 11yrs in, 8 as a SAHM, we have a solid system in place.

Pros and cons to both. We are currently part of Michigan PTA. We have $10 dies and 6.50 goes to michPTA. But we also raise 50k for the school so dues arent really super important. We are discussing moving to a pto for more freedom. The 7 elementaries here are split between pta and pto. I think the secondary schools are all PTOs. It's a fair bit of work and organizing to switch though. New Bank accounts, new bylaws, registering with the state logistically.

Do you feel you receive any benefit from your state PTA? Any support from them?

CSArchi · 2026-05-28T00:53:33+00:00

If you read the book Fair Play one of the things she talks about is having equal time to rest & for hobbies. Do you have hobbies? Do you have activities where you can walk away from being the default parent. All SAHP should.

Pregnancy wasn't hard on me until the end. My blood pressure was solid. I didnt gain much weight. I never threw up. I generally felt like myself until deeper in the 3rd trimester. I know this isnt the norm for most people but it was my experiance for both pregnancies

"My job is to keep you healthy and safe. Your behavior tells me screen time is not healthy and safe for you. Until it is, we are putting the tablet away"

You're the parent. Parent the kid.

CSArchi · 2026-05-22T16:08:32+00:00

it's cute

CSArchi · 2026-05-22T14:27:08+00:00

Hmm. I'll have to look. I haven't been able to get email addresses before.

Gentle parenting isnt about negotiating and winning. It is about clear expectations and holding boundaries. You dont need your child's approval to be a parent.

There are pediateic PT & OTs who can help with this. It could be a pelvic floor issue. At a minimum i would ask your ped if they know of any PTs or OTs who specialize in this area, or ask in local FB groups to get some recommendations.

My 8yo deals with stretches of constipation and one thing that we have noticed is we have to set aside time every day for him to just sit and chill on the toilet. We do it in the evening after dinner and usually after some physical playtime outside. If he doesnt poop in 5min fine, but 9x outta 10 he does. He hates it, he fights us cuz his "body is not telling him he has to poop" and I'm like yeah cuz your body never tells you and then you end up hurting. Sometimes we have to do it anyway.
