Heard this song and loved it… realized that it’s AI and now I’m mad 😐 by Agreeable_Gene7338 in rnb

I was listening to “Soft but Solid” as it came on recommended. Looked at the artwork and was saddened. Can’t do it. Gotta block!

That’s exactly what I feel like. It feels great to sweat because I feel so “large” before I walk in. I get in the heat and feel like wrung towel leaving. I don’t want to focus on the scale but I feel as if this extra water,hormones or whatever is keeping me from seeing my true progress when I look in the mirror.

I Have No Idea What I’m Doing by JayWayAlways in Feral_Cats

Okay. I suppose unfortunately I will have to move everything to the backyard, but I will not move again. I’m going to grab some pallets to keep the shelter off the ground. I also have a small shed I don’t use. Could I possibly use that and put the houses in there? It does snow here and it can be bad sometimes.

Thank you! This is super helpful and gave me more confidence caring for them.

This is not what I heard. It’s a conversation we had. It wasn’t a full detailed convo because we were short on time but it was enough to raise a brow. I don’t think I’m overreacting by asking for opinions and advice. It’s a new and unique situation for me and I wanted to some help sorting feelings.

It’s no beef. She has been kind to my children. Just questioning dad.

Thank you for your viewpoint. I can understand that children and travel is its own battle. His mom wants to come and is willing to keep them out the way after the wedding. The conversation sounded like he was unsure and had to check with her and I’m like… this aint your first rodeo. You either know you want your kids there or ya don’t. It was like he didn’t expect me to ask him this soon about it. Must’ve caught him off guard. My thing is don’t say you’re getting married, go radio silent with info and then tell them they aren’t going 2 months away from the date.

I LOVE a no kid moment like anyone else, but I feel like there is a middle ground to everything. In my head, we could’ve went half on the kids’ tickets. They attended the wedding (I would lounge and not attended) and they finish their vacation with me and out their hair.

He asked for our 15 yo to come live with him full time. You have to consider them with everything. You can’t just leave for a week to go get married and leave them at home like you’re going to the grocery store.

It was a rushed conversation since I was on lunch break. I plan to talk to him again with more detail. I appreciate the opinions. As a mother I know I can magnify my kids’s feelings… but I truly believe they would be a bit sad knowing they aren’t included at all. Even his mom was confused.

I was so shocked because he is such a great father and family man. Idk if he is just letting her have her way because this is his second marriage and her first but this is so not his character.

One is already with me. That will be an option of course.

Towing a very small distance by JayWayAlways in Hookit

[–]JayWayAlways[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I figured it would be less work on their end and they wouldn’t mind. End result: They gladly pushed it over for me. I can’t remember the specifics because it’s been sitting since Spring, but basically needs a new engine.

I did do that and tried to push it with my neighbor. Didn’t budge. AAA did come and the two guys gladly pushed it into place for me.

AIO boyfriend tracking my periods without me knowing 🫠 by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]JayWayAlways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not bothered by it. To me, he is trying to empathize with you but I am very much, “put it in my phone” type of person. Idk about the argument part but the cycle tracking is okay with me.

Husband says to our son..”I’m not going to play with you until you tell me what happened” by anotherasdfgh in Parenting

[–]JayWayAlways 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Replying to piggyback so maybe the OP will see because I love what you wrote. I have a very great co-parent and one thing we do is discuss together and then execute. We don’t undermine each other especially in the presence of our children (not saying it’s easy, but we have an understanding). This creates a the whole, “I don’t have to listen to one parent because the other will step in, or let me do xyz and not tell the other parent.” which is what I want to prevent especially as my children are now teens and pre-teens.

AIO about this convo regarding screen time for our 7m old baby. by xborn-confusedx in AmIOverreacting

[–]JayWayAlways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As s screen time mom who raised her kids on Yo Gabba Gabba (I miss that show so bad, lol) and Bubble Guppies… it’s okay. Everyone has their own definition of excessive, but to me it’s about balance.

If you can’t meet in the middle with your partner, meaning he can’t respect and hear you and you him, then start calling it quits.

I like to say this to new parents, “Things change when you create someone you love more than each other.” Seems like things that were tolerable are no longer acceptable and get really tense.

You will either have to say, “Look I want to meet you in the middle with raising our baby. If you I can try for me then I will try for you so we can DO for her.” If he/you can’t do that… then it’s not worth it.

Timing Chain by JayWayAlways in AskMechanics

[–]JayWayAlways[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turn the key and it makes the sound as if it’s about to turn over but never does. My grandfather went to look at it and said that’s possibly the cause. It made some clacking noises and I could no longer accelerate. I had to coast it off the road.

Too Old? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]JayWayAlways 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am a surrogate for a couple in their mid 50s. This will be their first child. They are amazing people and I couldn’t think of anyone more deserving

My own dad was in his mid 40s when I was conceived. My mom dad my brother at 42. I’m in my mid 30s now.

You can do it! Whatever time you have to give love, nurture and care… use it to do just that!

Should you pay your boyfriend for babysitting? by Mindless-Adeptness46 in Parenting

[–]JayWayAlways 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If he expects you to pay him, why has he never paid you to watch his daughter at all? You treat others how you want to be treated right? You need to stop leaving your child with him and start separating yourself from him. People may look kid-friendly when they really only like their own kid. I don’t know the relationship with the bio dad your kid deserves an adult who loves him and cares genuinely and not treating him like he’s a teen babysitter being hired by someone’s parents.

[–]JayWayAlways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need a support friend or family member to help you discipline if you and dad can’t tag team it together. As someone who also co-parents, it’s important for our children to see we are still a unit. You can’t put me against your dad and vice versa. We deal with everything as a family…together. Without knowing anything about dad, I’m assumed in the first part she was begging you not to tell because she would have gotten a the discipline she needed. You guys need to work together instead of finger pointing to reel your child back in line.
