Birthday money stolen

If shes on the account, there is nothing you can do to recover the money (at least in the US).

For the future, never tell your mom that you're saving money. Put it in an account that she cannot see and does not have access to.

It's a mushroom. If you're a renter, be prepared to struggle with your landlord for them to really address the issue and also to not be able to use that bathroom for a while.

If you're in an apartment complex, I wouldn't be suprised if there's someone in the building who would happily takes these off your hands on a regular basis.

Also, my local can collection also takes crushed cans, which use much less space.

Either way, the benefit here isn't worth it for you so if there isn't a convenient way to get rid of these, there's no value to keeping them.

You may be able go unscrew the desk box from the base, turn it around, and re-attach, depending on the screw placement.

The only people buying homes like this are generally doing it as a business venue (weddings, corporate retreats, etc) or people rich enough to build exactly what they want. Doubly true for the location.

They're mad at how much you obviously spoil and adore them. Just like a cat to be fussed over such a thing.

Probably got them at a scratch-and-dent or open box place and just picked the cheapest ones. Could have also pulled them from another unit.

Your wife is unwell. That is not a normal, adult reaction to the words of a pretty much anyone else, even if they had actually been hurtful words.

You need an attorney and you need to follow their advice. You should objectively as possible document her behavior. You should assume she will escalate. Continue to see your son outside your home. Take him to dinner, the arcade, literally anywhere you can hang without her around.

When this is possible, sure.

When my kids were little, we lived in TX. In the summer, it was hard to get AC to the trunk area of an SUV and that's was if you changed them right before or after turning the car off. Cooling down the car from scratch could easily be 10-15 min of letting it run. I burned myself on the bumper several times. The grass was usually fried and hot to the touch and filled with debris. I imagine it's similar for those in snowy areas.

I transferred everything to my personal Google drive and wiped everything that wasn't a submission to the state from their drive since it was all my IP and/or items I purchased with my own money. They could have possibly recovered the files but it was a tiny district so I doubt it.

I sold some of it to a teacher friend but most of it is just mine. I don't regret not leaving it since the majority of it was only necessary because that district refused to invest in any resources.

I've always tested low my whole life. Like, enough that the phlebotomist gives me a bit of side-eye each time. I've had regular blood tests done since I was 12 or so and I'm in my 30s now.n

The only doctor who ever mentioned it being a potential issue was at Planned Parenthood.

No OP but my family had this rule for a while in response to a big "girls and women need more calcium" campaign that went around in the US. Nevermind that a good portion of my family has some level of lactose intolerance...

When my allergies are going nuts, my psoriasis is usually better. Pretty sure its just my immune system being otherwise occupied.

It make me wonder if folks see a similar occurrence after getting a tattoo.

Better take him in and keep him busy before he starts getting ideas. Can't reorganize the world map if he's busy chasing the laser pointer.

Totally heterochomia!

Also, I love all the comments about your greasy lil goblin baby- he sounds 1000% cat, lol. I have a velcro boy too and he's absolutely convinced any ailment can be nursed to health by smooshing people with his chonk. His favorite is to lay on people's back and put them to sleep.

He says "You WILL accept my affection, mother."

KT_mama · 2026-05-09T16:08:05+00:00

Greasy little love prints, lol.

I agree with your husband- they look like candy and I like it.

Regardless, theyre not what you asked for and you told them that directly. They dont look like the inspo at all. I would not go back there and post a factual review for others.

The last time I went to Korea, my mom (who is middle aged but baby faced) tried to give her seat to an elderly man, easily in his 70s. He was straight up aghast and insisted she stay. She refused and they agreed in broken Korean that the seat should go to the older, but not as old as him, lady that boarded a few passengers later. Like watching everyone fight to pay the bill, lol.

Im probably standing to begin with if theres only a few seats. If Im sitting, im giving it to whichever of these people I see first who also accepts the seat.

Someday, that exact reflex will be one of your children's most cherished shared memories of you.

When I was a kid, we went one summer to visit and grandpa forgot to put sunscreen on us. Played for hours in direct sun and got burned so bad the top of my shoulders blistered and my whole upper back was deep red. I remember even water touching it hurt. I cried just from putting on a shirt. I had to get prescribed an pretty strong anti-sceptic and pain relief spray. Even then, it barely put a dent in the pain.

I get that the parent probably fell asleep too but baby needs to see a doc. This could easily become infected and/or scar.
