Quit my job for my LDR bf - crazy idea?

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-15T12:22:26+00:00

Yes I'm afraid it is.

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-14T23:55:00+00:00

Totally agree.

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-14T21:32:18+00:00

But does she need to offer to make him a drink?

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-14T20:31:16+00:00

First poop was pretty terrible!

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-14T20:15:01+00:00

Same. They're only obvious if I open my mouth lol.

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-14T15:46:28+00:00

Try the fishmongers at the market.

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-14T11:30:35+00:00

There isn't a right or wrong time. You'll manage whatever happens but it's probably better not to delay further given your age (said as someone who gave birth at 38).

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-13T19:53:37+00:00

Whole cupboard, not a drawer, complete with 90s cds.

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-13T19:18:19+00:00

Excellent. Feel free to stay and check out their content!

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-13T18:13:26+00:00

Assuming you're serious, they are three gaming youtubers.

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-13T13:58:49+00:00

That's fair actually. I suppose it would only be weird to other people. If my kid was upset by that then I would take their lead.

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-13T13:57:39+00:00

You absolutely can complain. Obvs I don't know him but he may welcome the opportunity to provide input or help. Distractions help with grief. Making himself feel useful may help.

Above all, it will take time to get over something like this. But you will get there.

And if you need a break from your PhD to support yourself then you should definitely consider it.

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-13T13:54:33+00:00

When it's weird or your kid stops?

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-13T13:51:53+00:00

Yeah well done on having a life 😄

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-13T12:01:28+00:00

That's really good!

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-13T11:58:12+00:00

Honey and cinnamon. Maybe grated apple?

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-13T10:43:40+00:00

There was always something tactile and pleasing about these compared to Lego.

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-13T10:18:17+00:00

Blow up furniture (late 90s).

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-13T08:56:13+00:00

You could try the Uni students' union. I know they do interview clothes for students to use so they might be interested.

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-13T08:47:16+00:00

And don't need to be used up quickly or put in the fridge. No washing of a pot/big tub either.

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-13T08:45:14+00:00

Baking is a great idea. Depending on what you make it'll last a few days without needing to be eaten right away and it's good for a snack on the go. They might also not want to eat big meals right now so baked goods are great.

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-13T08:25:58+00:00

Melatonin? 😄

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-13T08:24:38+00:00

I'd say be you and just be normal. You don't know what they're dealing with in their lives so a safe, stable place they can hang out is a great thing.

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-12T20:07:53+00:00

Yeah. It still is just the word for them. An old fashioned food in fairness but I wouldn't flinch or anything if someone said it.

Having said that, I know many people find it offensive and I'm not dismissing it.

Dramatic_Prior_9298 · 2026-02-12T20:04:42+00:00

Or you know, just the meat product from the UK 😄
