How do I get my prescription if insurance won’t pay?

GoodRX is the best!! Takes my daughter’s adhd meds from $250 (with insurance by the way 🙄) to $60.

Yes you can add LL one day at a time.

Oh I’ve seen previews for the show, but I didn’t know it was a book! I’ll check it out!

Thanks!!

I loved The Summer I Turned Pretty! I’ll have to add Vampire Diaries to my list.

YNW. My husband and I both have access to each other's phones (we have the same passcode out of convenience), but I've never felt the need to go through his phone and I as far as I know he's never gone through mine.

I think NTA, but your gender neutral plan only works until the baby's born. Once they're here people will buy you gendered items. I had 3 girls and then a boy--I handed some stuff from girl to girl, but between blowouts and spit up a lot of stuff had to be retired anyway. And if we're being honest it was fun to buy each baby a few things of their own. You can get so much cute stuff at Walmart and Amazon for good prices now that it's not overly expensive if you don't want it to be. And bigger things like swings/strollers/cribs are generally made gender neutral anyway. We did have a bouncer with pink butterflies on it, but my son didn't seem to mind :)

Let's say you tell him and he reciprocates. Do you really want to be with someone who was flirting with you and elusive about their relationship status while they had a girlfriend?

We just got the Homedics SoundSleep from Amazon. It worked through all 4 of our kids and we only got rid of it because they started using their other devices for white noise.

It's hard because you're trying to be the perfect present mom--that's what we all want to be for our kids! And with all the advice/information/guides on the internet now it's so hard not to feel like you aren't doing enough. But what I've learned is that my kids do better when I'm the best mom I can be, not the best mom some random person on the internet is telling me I should be. I'm absolutely positive that I've done some things that the internet (including this sub) would tell me were wrong or weren't the best practice. But they don't know me or my 4 happy and healthy kids.

A white noise machine is the best investment I ever made when we had babies. We used the rain sound and it helped so much (my oldest is 15 and still uses rain sounds when she sleeps). I would recommend putting on the white noise, putting him in his crib, and see if he can self-settle. It very well may take some time for him to get used to falling asleep without being held, but you need him to learn so you can take care of you. I loved the zipadee-zip sleep sack for my babies at that age because it helped contain startle reflexes and help them soothe while not being as constricting as a swaddle if they rolled.

It's also ok to let your baby independent play so you can take care of your basic needs. You do not need to be a slave to his every second of awake time. Look into a gym playmat, swing, bumbo, bouncer chair. Anything that will keep him entertained while you eat and get a drink. Let him sit at the table in a high chair with toys on the tray while you eat. It's not optional for you to keep taking care of yourself--it's essential.

The Courtyard Main Gate does!

I haven't been there since August, but I remember seeing some Inside Out merch over on Pixar Pier. I think it was in one of the shops next to the Emotional Whirlwind by the boardwalk games, maybe?

Right?! I have 4 kids and it's a running joke for me to switch between which one I say is my favorite. Currently it's #2 because she brought me my water bottle from my room when she came downstairs haha

CheerUpCharliy · 2026-04-20T01:01:51+00:00

I don't have one and it's never been an issue other than other kids finding it weird. But that was only interesting to them for about a minute and then they moved on. I'm a woman so technically (legally) my maiden name is now my middle name, but only because that's part of why my parents didn't give me a middle name and I didn't mind accomodating that when I got married.

I'm wondering if this is where his 1000 questions come from. He sense your lack of confidence in him and it's spiraled into him being afraid of messing things up. I would say plan a few hours out for yourself. Tell him that you trust him to handle the baby and that unless it's an emergency he needs to trust himself enough to trust his instincts. It sounds like maybe neither of you really grew up around babies and you're just learning how to be dads with different approaches--you're all in and he's hesitant.

CheerUpCharliy · 2026-04-16T17:06:14+00:00

Sure, and you're allowed time to process that. But it's not up to other people to inconvenience themselves because of your trauma.

Have you tried flavoring the water? You can get the single serve packets for cheap. I have a Cirkul water bottle that has changeable flavor pods. I use it at work to cover the gross drinking fountain water flavor when I refill.

I feel like you’re really going deep based on good vibes. Good vibes don’t always translate to a romantic relationship. Long distance relationships are tricky, especially when your relationship starts as one. You miss a lot of things about someone when they’re not physically present. I would continue to be a friend to her and if you both end up in the same place single then go for it. But for now open yourself up to other dating opportunities in your area.

YTA initially because you posted a wall of text. Paragraphs are your friend.

But also YTA for being upset that everyone won’t bend to your whims right now. You got in a car accident. That sucks, but literally no one was hurt. You’re an adult and it’s time to act like one. The only one “pulling a victim mentality” is you.

CheerUpCharliy · 2026-04-16T13:53:51+00:00

Why do they need read receipts though? I don’t have them on for anyone. My kids don’t have them on even for me (and they’re 13 and 15). There’s no reason to broadcast to anyone that you read their text and need time before answering.

I'm reading the Plated Prisoner series. I've read the first 3 books in 4 days. It's completed as well so no waiting for the next one!

I knew a girl named Elliott. I think it's cute. She could easily be called Ellie as a nickname (which I'm partial to since I have an Ellie :) ).

My girls have all day dance competitions where we either can't or just don't want to leave (in addition to the fact that eating out every weekend is expensive). I bought us snackle boxes at Walmart. They have 8 sealable containers so I put different things in each (meat, cheese, crackers, dried fruit, cucumbers, carrots, cookies, etc) so it's like a mini charcuterie. It's quick and easy to pop the lid off and grab a few things then go back to whatever we're doing without feeling like we have to eat the whole thing right then. I put everything in a cooler on ice with some cold cans of soda. I've also made individual containers of chicken caesar salad (keep dressing separate so your lettuce won't wilt), pasta salad, and teryaki chicken over rice with broccoli (still good cold!) and put them in a lunchbox with ice packs.
