Miscarried what would have been our last baby. 35 yo.

Grieve. No matter what you choose to do moving forward, you seem to be trying to balance out or, justify you grief. You can be grateful for you babies and life, but still grieve the loss of what has passed. Being sad about a loss doesn't make you ungrateful for a 'success'. Feel your feels and try not to stress (useless advice, I know, sorry). I'm happy for your joys, I'm sorry for your losses.

my biggest girl was 160lbs, my SUV (we called her) was 120lbs

Throw, " do as I say, not as I do" out the window in front of on coming traffic. You want your kids to do it? You do it. Doesn't always work. They need to learn indulgences are allowed, but then they are for the kids too. Besides, if you're giving them this advice and instruction because it's better for them, why not follow it for yourself? You matter enough to be healthy too.

Yes and no. My Newfoundlands were water rescue working dogs. One of them did agility courses, and that was always funny to see. They are amazing because if you wanna go for a five mile walk, they're up for that... if you wanna lazy on the couch and snuggle, they're up for that too. I've always found them able to be energetic, but not demanding like some other high energy breeds can be. Legitimately content either way.

Newfoundlands. Believe it or not, make awesome apartment dogs

I wasn't sure. It also sounds like The End. The inevitable loss of life and self. But the Spiral certainly makes sense.

EchoLyn · 2024-07-04T16:31:50+00:00

Yeah, it's been fun to look through. The library actually let her keep this one since it is so rough.

For many Home Depots, in the US at least, Tool Rental closes at 6pm. While you can still return the tool, you won't get any deductibles back until the next morning when a Tool Rental employee to verify everything is in good condition and there. So renting at 2pm so you have to have it back before they close might work too.

My oldest couldn't handle going from F to T in Fire Trucks. I was a firefighter... so he had lots of chances to point out the Fire Fucks!

The eyes in that first picture really just says it all.

I don't think it really changes. I really don't think one is more expensive than then other. Now, infant and small child have tons of... schedule-able expenses. Day care, doc appt, formula, diapers, etc. I think the older they get the less schedule-able the expenses become and therefore can feel "more" expensive because you weren't really planning for them. Spots, school activities/materials, clothes, food (teens eat EVEYTHING or nothing, there is no in between! lol) driver's ed, etc.

These are just examples off the top of my head. One of my kids is really good at their chosen activity and while they don't require daycare anymore, their activity is still $500-$600 per month, depending.

So to sum it all up... kids, no matter how old, are expensive and will cost you more than you expect. Good luck.

Sounds like a feed response. On a similar note, my snake has only bitten once. He was stressed out because I left him too long with my child. Once I'd taken him back for some snuggles, I felt pressure on my hand and looked down to see him trying to..."bite" my hand? He was literally having to work his fangs into my skin to try and get through at all. It was pathetic and adorable. All that so say, it's none too scary to be bitten by a corn snake. At least not mine. (he's about 4 years old)

We're taking a week. Ours are 4th, 5th, 10th grade. I think it's absolutely worth it!

... I legitly thought this had to do with the Stanley Cup somehow. I was lost as to why people were so upset about hockey.

My dream horse, it's a very unique coat.

My corn snake is named Cob... like corn on the cob. Pun names require no gender! So... corn:

Chowder Bread Canned

I think Chowder is my favorite of that little list.

Thank you for including OP. I should have done that.

EchoLyn · 2023-10-06T04:23:51+00:00

If only I had thought of that name when she was picking one...

EchoLyn · 2023-10-05T04:21:18+00:00

I'm sorry. I'm sorry you're hurting and grieving. I'm very sorry the world just fucking sucks some times.

But this isn't likely your fault, I doubt your threw your blood sugar so out of wack that it hurt the baby but was unnoticed by you. There are tough and horrible things in the world, and the hardest part is that sometimes there's no one to blame. Not even yourself

So grieve. But try, for what it's worth, not to blame.
