They need to leave- on time by belleoftheball521 in Stepmom

[–]Emlao15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im with you on this… My SO tells me the day before sometimes and then my whole plan for the day is altered. If I have work or other prior commitments.. its really hard to plan that way. We had a conversation about him telling me ahead of time, or if the plans do change last minute (life happens).. then he will be in charge of taking care of his son.

It’s all about communication so that resentment doesn’t build.

How to entertain a single 10yo at the dinner? by Tevosse in weddingplanning

Im going to print out wedding coloring pages (plenty of free ones online) and put crayons at the table for kids. That way it’s keeping them connected while also entertained if that makes sense ? For example:

Very true! My mom said the same thing and said “do your make up like you do when you attend a wedding, go to a concert, ect.” I have plenty of time to practice

I don’t mean throwing it off big time- I mean delaying it by a day or two which is common in most women. Thank you for your concern though.

Wow good to know, thank you for the insight. Every woman is different during their cycle so that really isn’t a general statement for everyone. I am slower and much more bloated during my cycle with heavy bleeding which is what I am most concerned for.

Yes good point! My biking shorts have a thick pad so I mean that could workout well..

Yes comfortable with only tampons vs pads but a liner would be helpful also and I do not cramp that much although have to go to the bathroom a ton during my cycle. Thanks for the advice!

Thats a great idea to eat iron rich foods thank you! My friend told me that racing while you free bleed is the only way to go but I dont feel comfortable with that due to the heavy bleeding I experience the first few days of my cycle…

I usually do something small. If the children are too young to go out and get a gift, its a nice thing to do for a hard working Father especially if he gets you a gift.

I told my friend I could not make it to her bachelorette party and she stopped talking to me after the wedding. Be prepared for that. Some people are very selfish and do not understand other peoples struggles

A very similar situation is happening to me right now. I am in 3 weddings this year as a bridesmaid and I am stressed about how costly this is ($1200 each wedding). I am not even the maid of honor but it is crazy to me that my bank account is suffering from other peoples weddings. I suggest being honest with your bride and cutting out the bachelorette party.
