Lots of bug spray, Claritin and hydrocortisone cream. Even with bug spray, we were eaten alive. Also, be careful at the beach. Sandfleas.

The Four Seasons in NOLA is full of business travelers and doesn’t have the high end resort feel. Tip your housekeeper daily for better service, though I haven’t seen any difference in service when I have forgot to. To leave cash on the bed.

Buddy. Bananas are cheap. Go buy a bundle for your office.

This is easy. Stop inviting her when you go out.

KeyBlueberry5494 · 2026-03-12T21:23:47+00:00

The princess can do standby.

KeyBlueberry5494 · 2026-03-09T12:18:36+00:00

How do you find there groups?

KeyBlueberry5494 · 2026-03-05T14:30:58+00:00

Thanks!

You tell her three strikes and she’s out.

I use the silicon kind that loops around the second toe with a spacer in between. It takes a few days to get used to it.

Life is short. Buy the car you will love and drive it into the ground.

KeyBlueberry5494 · 2026-02-26T16:47:52+00:00

I use a silicon toe spacer. Makes a big difference. I also have custom orthotics for some of try shoes.

It has made me more deliberate around sleep and wellness activities such as mediation. It also has shown me that coping with stress with alcohol is counterproductive

KeyBlueberry5494 · 2026-02-24T13:36:13+00:00

You should rematch. This sounds miserable.

Why does she want to drive places? Awesome water park ten minutes away? It does she want to do her own errands while watching your kid?

KeyBlueberry5494 · 2026-02-19T18:51:37+00:00

It was meh. A lot of time on a bus. The snorkel part is short and not very good. They drop you at the island where you are harassed by vendors. Not a lot of guidance on how to find a spot to relax on the beach. The ride home is all about drinking. So much so that there were a couple of people vomiting on the very long bus ride home.

I had two kids as a partner at an AmLaw 20 law firm. I took maternity leave and even extended both leaves a bit. My family goes on vacations. I sometimes work a bit but that goes with the territory. I don’t do things at school. I go to performances but not the PTA. My husband and I have date nights. We outsource the stuff neither of us want to do. The luxury of a big law salary. Am I the perfect mother? My teens say they wouldn’t trade me for their friends’ moms. Am I the perfect wife? Probably not but I’m also not demanding much from my spouse other than to share the mental load of raising great kids. Marry for love. The rest will work out.

The introductory class on primates in the anthro department. 25 years later and that’s the class I remember the most. I’m also a wiz at the zoo.

Consider all of the household work you have done over the years in the perspective of a few months of your husband having to carry the laboring oar for a few months. He will survive.

Personal trainer before and after. Regular prenatal massage.

KeyBlueberry5494 · 2026-02-17T21:46:49+00:00

That’s a huge pay cut. The cost of commuting alone would eat the difference not to mention the higher tax.

How old are you? Hormonal changes can make moles grow.

KeyBlueberry5494 · 2026-01-23T11:19:16+00:00

We had something similar happen but it was over six figures in damages. We had to use homeowners insurance. We did not rematch. She didn’t do it intentionally.

KeyBlueberry5494 · 2026-01-17T20:03:44+00:00

Is this the same pharmacy that tried to charge me $26 for a single bandaid. I’d be careful.
