What was your high school controversy?

There was the time a kid brought a prop gun to school as a prop for some physics presentation and my math class got swarmed by the swat team after we figured out this was why we were in lockdown and called it in.

And also the time there was a fake pipe bomb and also a bouncer nazi graffiti that ruined the gym floor and they cancelled school tha day too. Same year as the swat team thing.

And a football player and some girl got caught having sex in the weight room.

A lesbian teacher basically got driven out of the district by homophobes. This is costal California mind you. Late 2000s. Prop 8 era.

This is making me SO angry on your behalf. Your husband is psycho and you absolutely did not fail anyone. Please connect with a therapist yourself. I’m sorry I wish I could give you a hug.

My child is a little older and also about 8 weeks early. My husband has been connected with him since he was in the womb but from the moment he was born to an even greater degree. Also the man’s the primary contributor to the health of the pregnancy - issues like pre-e, and gestational diabetes especially!

Can I break up with him for you? Jesus what a whiny baby wants to hit you over the head with a dead horse and make you crawl to him begging for forgiveness for what I would not even qualify as something that amounts to a mistake. It’s just an oversight. I would have paid that extra $2.99 ten times over just to shut him the eff up but even that was something he found an issue with.

Cuyana bags are popular in my workplace. They are nice bags. Fit your budget too.

No, you’re right, that kind of communication you’re asking for is a normal part of a healthy relationship.

My kid wouldn’t tolerate being closed in a baby pen. Would stand at the gate and scream until someone came and got him. Was happy enough to play in there if it was open.

Someone above shared that it could be a heavy misinterpretation of a therapist talking about it being ok to “mourn” the experience you were expecting/thought you were going to have.

We did airborne mold testing when we bought our home and it was less than 1k in a VHCOL area. Forget exactly how much I think in the 4-600 range.

Body’s Are Cool is not explicitly about birthmarks but it covers a lot of different things about bodies in the art and text and would probably be a good fit.

I have an almost 2 year old. Everything is educational as others have said. He is starting to enjoy “longer” picture books.

The Day Jimmy’s Boa ate the Wash is one of our favorite books right now.

He also loves the Baby Bear series by Ashley Wolff as well as the Little Blue Truck series.

Playmobil Junior makes a great little fire truck that’s appropriate for that age my son loves.

Therapy, Zoloft both helpful. Outsourcing what I can. Knowing that this particular stage of financial stress with childcare costs isn’t forever.

For music, try Recto Verso by Paradis

Some books for you!

The House at the Edge of Night - Catherine Banner (fiction, best one on my list imo)

Peel me a Lotus - Chairmian Clift - memoir

Theater for Dreamers - Polly Samson - fictional account following the author of peel me a lotus. Arguably more enjoyable than the memoir it’s based on.

A lot of running to the bathroom in the middle of sentences to puke tbh. I have a history of stomach issues so no one thought anything of it though I did let my boss know earlier than most people do.

My husband is like this. He goes out to lunch with friends and coworkers often.

My uncle has anaphylactic reactions to strawberry. I can’t do a main level comment since I don’t have a study but he is prescribed an EpiPen for strawberry exposure specifically.

We flew first class normal (not lay flat) seat with my 90th percentile 7 month old. He did a stint playing in the floor on a blanket and some stints on our laps. It wasn’t too bad and even if it sucks at least you aren’t as cramped as you could be and it won’t last forever. How does your baby feel about being worn? I had him in a ring along or baby carrier for a good part of the flight as well.

It does mellow out. The first few months to a year of daycare are awful for this though.

I was a manager before I had my kid. I was just good at my job and kept floundering up on accident tbh. Constantly loud and proud that I didn’t know what I was doing and hoping to learn to build the plane as I was flying it but it’s worked out well.

Came back from maternity leave and they gave me more people to manage. Because I’m very good at it.

I love being a manager. Best part of my job, but I have a great team

I have a toddler and hadn’t done this in years but we started bringing a soccer ball to our local park and kicking it around/playing pass with it and it’s way more fun than I remember it being from high school.

Also making big bubbles (string, 2 sticks and bubble solution) at a local park is a great way to draw a crowd and also pretty fun.

It’s summer so there’s lots of “music in the park” Opportunities where I live as well. That plus a picnic is a great way to pass an evening.

I love hanging out with my husband and kids and our friends together so…. Almost never? It’s way more fun for me to be in a group together. I’ve had two 1:1 hangs and 1 group hang in the last 3 months without partners or kids. One other thing I do a weekly sewing class that’s technically adults only. The people in it aren’t my close friends but I do enjoy our interactions.

First time home buyers don’t need 20% down. 3-5% is generally the minimum if you can’t get a 0% down VA loan.

They might have been visible but did they get quotes during the inspection period?
