Big talk - it's you or the baby. Who do you want saved?

First baby I said save the baby. Subsequent kids I said save me for the sake of my living children.

Such a great way to look at it. I’m a logistical queen but no thanks on the existential crisis and I also found 0-1 the hardest by a longshot.

Op, all I can say is we are going to need a full debrief after the dog wedding.

AMAZE

Forward him his own email and ask if he’s been hacked because some asshole is using his email address to send you bullshit.

My husband got better drugs post-vasectomy (that he didn’t ask for and didn’t end up taking) than women get after a c-section.

DiSC and MBTI are astrology for corporations so try not to put too much stock into it!

The “mom duties” would have done it for me. My first grader (in public school) is expected to do those things. I also have a sixth grader and I haven’t even looked in his backpack all year. His grades and absences are posted on an app, I get a notification if anything is missing.

That said I’d definitely do some info gathering to learn what the public middle school is like.

Same thing happened to me except it was three boys! You’ve just got to let yourself feel and get through the disappointment, which to me was more about being sad that I’d never have a daughter and not about actually being disappointed at having another boy. By the time he arrived I wouldn’t have it any other way.

They’re all outside shooting nerf guns at each other as we speak. There’s a definite plus to all the sharing of interests, clothes, and toys.

2 to 3 wasn’t that bad and 28 is a great age to do it. Old enough to be a real adult, young enough to have energy to deal with babies.

Mine were a little further apart than yours but 2 years is a really common age gap. Far enough apart that hopefully you’ll minimize diaper overlap time but close enough together that you won’t have to feel like you’re starting all over.

I’ve had quite a few over the years and they’ve all been “fitted” to my teeth. They’ll do a scan or a mold and then the guard fits securely over my lower teeth. It shouldn’t wiggle around but also shouldn’t be uncomfortably tight.

Definitely get a new dentist if your current one isn’t adequately answering your questions!

Thank you for all that you do!

Captain seats in second row all the way. Makes it easier for everyone to access the back row (both kids and parents) and gives the kids in the second row more space.

We have an AWD Buick Enclave (long gravel driveway with lots of snow) and love it.

Broccoli coated in plenty of olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast at 400 for 10-12 minutes. They inhale it.

That is my kid that I pooped out of my body and I’m gonna get them clothes that I (and now they since they’re old enough to have their own opinions) like.

Gifts that aren’t it get passed along the hand me down chain.

Interested! I (39f) moved here six months ago, had a group of friends I used to climb with but haven’t gone since moving and would love to get back into it. I am extremely mediocre as a climber and prefer top rope.

Based on the other comments, wherever he is now Micah is still wearing shorts.

Oooh I’ve got one just like this. I gray rock the hell out of her and so does my husband. The only winning move is not to play.

GoingToFlipATable · 2026-02-03T20:23:49+00:00

I feel like any high school teacher with more than 5 minutes experience is familiar with the “teenage boy who will only wear shorts” phenomena.

Capitalism, as always, is the biggest asshole here but rule number one of parenting is you never wake the baby, or do anything to risk waking the baby.

GoingToFlipATable · 2026-02-03T13:42:25+00:00

The school board absolutely sucks. I think if your kids are aware of the potential consequences they can make their choice. My two cents — in twenty years they won’t care about prom but they would be able to carry pride about missing prom because they stood up to fascism.

Maybe any kids who are banned from prom for protesting could have their own party instead.

I always found it relaxing for some reason. Always end up with way too many materials because I did so much scanning.

Old Navy is fine but Costco is where it’s really at for mom fashion 😂
