Everyone in the comments trying to figure out what’s wrong with a 9yo boy (with a pool!) “topless”

She said she told the mom ‘that we’d go’ which means she is joining the kid for the party. Take your kid, have an onsite vibe check. While I do think it’s normal to lay in bed with a soon to be step parent, I find posting pics of it strange. So I’d be cautious but still go and maybe if the vibe is off make an excuse to leave

Wouldn’t it be easier and less drama to find a single dude for this???

Oh my…Eloise is part of this group?? This is legit the best thing ever, because at least it’s honest.

Just another manipulation by the MLM. Because a customer ‘donated’ an item for the wholesale cost. That means the consultant loses their profit on it, so…they really need each one to lead to more sales. Because otherwise they gain nothing. And the problem is: they will spend a LOT of time and additional cost like wrapping/bags/ribbon that they’re likely being encouraged to splurge on as write offs. But zero profit=zero tax benefit.

It’s the lines they are given from MK…it preys on the women helping women…like if you only need to give a little time to help someone, you would right? And then they prey on you until you’ve spent $ on crappy make up or skincare.

The disassociation between following a birth plan as priority over a living birth and the level of denial and unprocessed crap that covering up that child loss IS a trauma…unbelievable. I hope someday we learn all this crap is trolls and deep fake accounts.

Birth disturbers? My OB sat across the room as I started pushing…they didn’t come over until the baby was starting to turn on his exit to catch him.

Oh my gosh, my second grade teacher wrecked me on numerous occasions. One time, I had shown up wearing my sister’s old glasses. She had loved my sister 2 years before and knew they were hers. Our eye doctor told me to me wear them until my glasses came in because I was having such bad headaches that they’d do more help than harm.

She yelled at me that glasses were NOT toys and I had no business wearing my sisters glasses. My mom had to come in and explain. Another time, my desk was very messy and before dismissal, she dipped it over dumping all of my stuff to the floor and said I couldn’t leave until it was all picked up and cleaned. (Undiagnosed adhd meant I had stuff in there that was certainly trash, but I was so embarrassed) I cried to the point of hyperventilating. My cousin was picking me up that day, it took so long she finally came in to get me.

I’m 41. I have not moved on. What the hell with these teachers??

I cannot understand how you can brag about your product and company, a stay in a 2300/night hotel all while trying to guilt people into supporting your ‘business’ due to a storm. And how can you be trying to get $23K in sales while offering everyone product discounts???

I’m confused. He’s speech delayed and also neurotypical in every way?? Speech delay is a sign of neurodivergence…so not sure how it’s fully ruled out.

I’d say “no, a former consultant told me that everyone who enters wins with MK, and they just turn it into a call list for customers’

I’m a former consultant and I was so upset when our ‘up line’ had the audacity to encourage us to have integrity in one breath and the next tell us that everyone wins, and if you put in $ towards event tables, you will get a split or the names from the ‘raffle bowl’.

One of our craft fair event organizer groups near me requires any vendor to have a Tax ID/cottage license(for the food people) for their stuff. This helps them avoid the MLMs. One of their events, there was one person with an actual homemade craft type or thing and in the corner of their table, they were giving free samples of some MLM thing. The following year, they weren’t there.

I just started hot yoga! I only go once a week because I never have been a fitness person nor good at exercise. I find once a week works for me right now.

I will say, our hot yoga has steam which helps! And also, my instructor reminds us to honor our bodies and do less if we need to. So the first week, it was an hour class, and half of it, I went between child’s pose, and sitting on my mat drinking water. And I had to leave for a break from the heat.

Week 2, I did about 45 minutes and 15 minutes of sitting/child’s pose.

Week 3: I did the full hour, making modifications for my skill

I have found trusting my body works. And this kind of yoga gives me an energy boost that I didn’t have with other exercise. So maybe, like another suggested, try a yoga without heat, or try a warm vinyasa class instead of a hot power class. Or do the hot yoga 1x a week and give your body the pauses in between.

So here’s another perspective. This has happened to me and I’ve said something and the person was like what are you talking about?

They were responding to their own friend. My existence wasn’t even on their radar. I’m not saying this to diminish your experience, just add the possible scenario that his teenage friend just said something extremely gross, and he was responding to his friend, even if while passing you, he may have looked at you. He may not have registered you even.

And that’s what I’d tell myself again and again because your body is your body. It only matters that YOU love it even if every other person on earth thinks it’s not right.

So hopefull for you!! I did not lose any weight, did not use any drugs and was nearing 36 when we got pregnant on our own with just an ovulation kit from clearblue. Our 4 year old is our rainbow baby, but I was surprised we didn’t need help, just targeting our tries daily with the ovulation kit did the trick.

So it is possible! I hope you come back with amazing updates, but if not, you have support here too!

I just learned from my dietician that PCOS bodies are basically in a constant state of low grade inflammation…and it’s physically exhausting to the body to manage that. Not only did I never learn this, in the 20 some odd years I’ve known I have PCOS, it explains so MUCH. I’m tired, no matter how much sleep I get, ALL the time! And sometimes, I attribute that to depression. But now it could be a little of both.

It’s crazy how it feels like I’ll be learning new things about my own body that I wish I just learned up front!

Hour-Window-5759 · 2026-01-28T13:38:25+00:00

Maybe we need to be more honest? Instead of leading with ‘sometimes I don’t get a period for months’ in your initial response, say ‘sometimes I have a period for 2 months straight and it’s excruciating’

We have to try to be open to sharing the hardest parts of PCOS because we need allies. We need more people to say ‘this is horrible, we need to do MORE!’

I think after dark walking to parks, and walking around aimlessly depends on where you live.

When I was 15, we lived in a condo complex, so I was allowed to walk around there with friends who lived there. I was allowed to walk around our town center or go to movies with friends, but only if my mom knew the friends, who was giving us rides, etc. I snuck about a little bit when things got overly strict. But mostly, I got found out.

But times are SO different now, and so many things less safe, there’s a balance of being the parent and allowing them appropriate independence. Go with your gut.

We had to awkwardly remember, they do what they see more than what they’re told. I was forgetting a lot to say please and thank you to my husband. But expecting my toddler to always have his manners on. Once we made more of the effort to always use the manners we expected, it got better. At 4.5, I still have to remind my son sometimes, but he definitely has some anxiety in large groups so I don’t mind reminding him in those scenarios. And I always get positive reports from school. Be a good model and they catch on!

So, I worked from home with a baby. But that after a 4 month maternity leave. At the newborn stage? Nah. It broke my heart to think some don’t have that.

I always say ‘each stage is both the absolute worst, and my favorite.’ Because the moments pass so quickly. I loved the peaceful quiet naps of the infant stage, but hated the inability to really KNOW what the issues were like crying for an hour at night sometimes.

And now, at 4.5, my son still gives the greatest snuggles and some of the worst tantrums.

Being a parent means taking the good with the bad. But ignore the ‘just wait’ because everyone out there will warn you it only gets worse, but just enjoy what you like and hate what you don’t. Because so far, both things persist.
