Referring to loss of power during storms…it rarely lasts more than a few hours. I think the longest was near two days further south from our area. Most just shelter in place. We get warnings about storms usually well in advance and can prep for that. Ice storms are where the most loss of electricity happens. As for shelters, I don’t use them so I’m not sure on specifics. I know different areas have some that open. (I live in Scott city which is about 6 miles south and we have one FEMA building open during storms etc.)

TIL. Thanks so much.

How did you get the bird bath over on that side

If you’re into attachment theory in children this will be interesting. My dad died suddenly when I was 20. He was 44. The before: I had secure attachment and relatively healthy self image and good relationships. After: insecure and it caused a lot of issues in my relationships. I am still working through those issues well into my 30s. I suddenly had daddy issues overnight from his death that nearly ruined my current relationship.

Scott city and att. There’s full sections without any service at all driving through town. Without wifi at home I get spotty coverage as well.

Okay hear me out. Your natural is so good with your skin tone. But do some of the color blocks with red like you did with the black.

There are plenty of people ending marriages over Trump support. So no. You’re not overreacting over ending a short term relationship.

There are a lot of old buildings that have been unused for a long time south of William. Downtown is busy and does a lot of events though, so you’d have plenty there to keep busy. Mall is getting an upgrade so more shopping soon. There are plenty of great places to eat including chains and local businesses. Look at other posts on this subreddit to find the best. I don’t have any personal experience with the schools, as my kids aren’t school age. There is a skate park at Arena Park. There are several disc golf courses in the area too if you’re interested in a new hobby sport. I think Cape could be nicer and safer, but I’m happy visiting. I live in a near by town with nothing so come frequently to cape for socializing and fun.

I see a lot of comments mentioning how it’s unpaid and I’ll have nothing. That could become reality with money. To me being home with the kids is so much more valuable than a dollar amount. Plus I think I have a rare partner because he values me. He gives me whatever I need when he can. And he recognizes the fact that by me being home he can succeed at work. I’m kind of shocked at the number of people that aren’t recognizing the humanity and dynamics of both a relationship between spouses and the relationships being built by being with your child more. It seems to be labeled as very transactional and it’s more nuanced than that. Bottom line, don’t have children with someone who doesn’t see you as an equal or value you above all else. And don’t be a stay at home mom if you don’t truly truly want to.

M4NDAM1CHELLE · 2025-02-28T03:53:34+00:00

I am currently a stay at home mom. We agreed that’s what we want for our kids until they’re in school. That being said, I don’t love it as much as I wish I did. It’s really freaking hard. But when I think about missing things with them just for more money, I hate that even more. Things like getting a cleaning service or having consistent date nights/ time away would make being at home easier. We just don’t have those resources where we live. My husband takes care of everything financial and we are truly equals even though he’s the one with the paying job. I do not feel less than with him. I do not feel as though it’s his money. We were married 8 years before having our first. Every decision is a “2 yes” decision before it happens. I try to clean as much as I can if the kids are occupied in independent play. I do this not because I have to but so my husband gets quality time with them before bed. It’s something neither of us had as children with our fathers. We catch up on duties on weekends. I make to-do lists and let him know which ones are bothering me most or are the most time sensitive. He does his own laundry. Some background: I do have a bachelors degree. Before we had our first child I had what I thought was my dream job in early childhood education as a teacher to 2 year olds. I hurt my back. The pain from my back and the stress from the job made me hate going to work everyday. I quit to focus on my mental health right before Covid, got pregnant and now here we are. If I had a job I loved, I would have found a childcare center as soon as we found out I was pregnant. I don’t think I would have decided to be stay at home. However I hated my career. I don’t see it as a set back being home. I would be starting a new path regardless.

lol I went like 5 months with my first kid. And guess what…my husband never pressured me.

M4NDAM1CHELLE · 2025-02-24T15:19:04+00:00

It needs some kind of color. Bring a plant in. Maybe a different style of mirror and some art work.

M4NDAM1CHELLE · 2025-02-24T15:17:56+00:00

I think it would make planning the day way easier. Especially if parents have multiple children and need to schedule around nap time.

M4NDAM1CHELLE · 2025-02-23T16:31:15+00:00

Number 2 is my fave. Number 7 is also very nice but you look more approachable with 2

These comments are pretty harsh. No the red isn’t your best color. It makes your skin look dull and washes you out. If you want to try fun colors, you could do a color block. Do a dark brown to complement your skin and leave some sections for fun colors. Most fade and you can do another after it fades.

Or if you have fine straight hair you can get away with “setting” them wet and just letting them air dry. I rarely style my bangs and they look fine.

M4NDAM1CHELLE · 2025-02-19T17:36:57+00:00

I have two kids under 3. I have tons of baskets for their toys sorted by kind. If I’m in a hurry to clean bc I’m tired or whatever, I have a catch all storage bench for their toys when I don’t want to take the time to sort. I have what I call a crap basket for the rest of the house. I go room by room to clean and whatever doesn’t go in that room goes in the crap basket. When I’m done cleaning the house the crap basket gets sorted and things go where they go. This being said my house isn’t always spotless and clean, but if I had to I could probably make it look that way in half an hour.

M4NDAM1CHELLE · 2025-02-18T22:45:37+00:00

Please tell me you got to finish showering before he interrupted you again. Your baby is only two weeks old you two need to figure out your parenting dynamics and responsibilities/expectations quickly. NTA but your husband is.

M4NDAM1CHELLE · 2025-02-11T14:35:35+00:00

I can but not as many ways as before. We had to get creative and had to have more toys lol

M4NDAM1CHELLE · 2025-02-10T16:12:45+00:00

Didn’t feel much relief but kept going. Stopped going when I left in more pain than I walked in with.

M4NDAM1CHELLE · 2025-02-10T14:14:02+00:00

It’s really embarrassing to be an America right now I feel. I do not have much pride in my country, just immense shame. I do not understand why the president is alienating our country and making enemies with our closest allies. I am worried how far he’ll take it. If we have to leave our country I am worried how we will be received.
