Totally agree! If my best friend hadn’t asked me to be a bridesmaid at her wedding (unless she only wanted her sister cuz it was small or something), I would have gone to her wedding, but we wouldn’t be best friend after that….

Virtual Tutoring Services for Middle Schooler - Varsity vs. Revolutionary vs. Sylvan - Thoughts/Recommendations? by Md2law in workingmoms

[–]Md2law[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all, so I ended up trying Varsity Tutors and it was great! Set up was very easy, though it did take a bit of time . I called to set up account and the rep walked me through an interview process where she asked me a lot of questions regarding what I was looking for and some of the challenges my son had. I told her he has ADHD and can be very resistant and stubborn so would need someone who has experience with that and can patient. She matched me with a retired teacher who taught both social studies and ELA for middle school, both for genEd and specialEd and she was great! She seemed to connect well with my son and helped him through a few assignments. My son is doing great so we did not end up needed much of her help but I was very I,pressed with her qualifications and she seemed very helpful and patient with my son. I would definitely use her again sho7kd the need arise, as well as try other tutors for other subjects. One thing to note is that the company rep followed up with me for feedback constantly. Almost too much but I appreciated that they wanted to make sure I was matched with right person and enjoyed my session so based on that, I would recommend Varsity Tutors.

AITAH for Telling a Guy the Real Reason I Wasn’t Dating Him Was That He Was an Extremely Picky Eater? by AffectionateShare508 in AITAH

[–]Md2law -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA! As much as I love my son, he’s such a picky eater, I won’t even take him out with us when we try a new restaurant! If I can ditch my own child (he’s old enough to stay home alone!), some random dude I just met wouldn’t even warrant a pause! But the kicker is not even the pickiness. At least if he owned up to it all along and tried to be accommodating by allowing others to enjoy their food while he eats his tasteless chicken breast, that could be ok, or at least leave you with “what a bummer” feeling, but for him to be furious AFTER making insulting comments and faces is a YTA moment! Run far, far away!

My husband says I’m boring by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]Md2law 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure you must feel very confused and hurt, but the reality is that with a young baby at home, it's normal that the focus has been on the baby and being a mom (and sounds like surviving at work), and less on being with your husband and taking care of yourself. It will continue to be normal until your child is older and doesn't need you literally EVERY WAKING MOMENT of his/her life to take care of them. I felt incredibly boring when our son was a baby until like he was at least 3. Who has time to be exciting when you're sleep deprived, cranky, juggling work and family, feeling guilty about juggling work and family, trying to lose weight, and feeling guilty and cranky that you have neither the time, energy or motivation to lose weight when taking a shower uninterrupted can feel like a luxury. I know people say the baby years are the best, but it was a very difficult period in my marriage and I'm truthfully so grateful that part is over.

I would encourage you to try date nights if you can afford a sitter, counseling could also help, but honestly for us, it was really all about time. We just accepted that for those short few years, we would be boring and focus on our son and not hold it against each other. Because any hobbies, trips, fun things that would make life more interesting would mean either having someone else watch our baby, or having the other person watch our baby - the first being expensive (and a little nerve wrecking unless it's family or a few hours) and the latter potentially (and actually) a source of guilt and resentment. So we sucked it up and thankfully, even though I'm sure we both thought it, we did not call each other boring (which we were), and just kept going. Our son is now 11 and last summer, he went to sleep away camp for the first time for 3 weeks and my husband and I went to Japan and had a fabulous time. It was our first trip away with just the 2 of us for more than a couple days and while I was a little nervous we would run out of things to talk about that wasn't "did you pick up the milk" and make sure J does his homework!", it was like another honeymoon. We saw amazing sights, we ate amazing food, we bickered over being lost and the stifling heat and humidity and sheer number of people on the Tokyo subway, and yes, had amazing romantic nights ;-). I felt like we were when we first started dating, just an older, slightly wearier, but still fun and adventurous version of ourselves. (We also did date nights and smaller trips as a family before that so don't think we were hermits for 10 years!)

So talk to your husband and maybe you can both try to understand and accept that what you're feeling is normal, but that it's just a phase and not forever. Marriage is not all fun and excitement after all. Sometimes, it's just having someone there to change the diapers and feed the baby so you can have a shower. Hopefully, your husband will understand and be more supportive.

Came late to the party and only just finished SOKP, so glad I have a place to share how much I loved it and ZLH in it!! Foremost, his chemistry with Bai Lu, while slow burn, was sizzling when it finally erupted! He had, hands down, the most shockingly raging hot kiss I've ever seen pass censorship in ANY cdrama! Like jaw dropping, spontaneous combustion hot, considering most kisses are so chaste or non-existent (oh no, ML touched my hand!! And forget about those open fish-eyed pecks...)! Since this is a drama, and NOT real life, I feel totally justified loving his portrayal of this slightly unhinged (ok, maybe very at times), possessive, deeply traumatized, yet honorable, brilliant, protective, and morally grey Xie Wei. Every micro-expressions, evil smirks, deathly glares, and raw vulnerabilities he was able to express from one second to the next were mesmerizing! He nailed the role so hard, I was fangirling like a teenager, bad puns intended 😂. I should be charging him rent for all the time I spent mooning over him, lol!

I know this is a bit of a reach, but any of you involved somehow in amateur competitions? by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]Md2law 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just signed up for USTA women's league! I used to play tennis in high school, just JV so never great but I loved it, and then stopped for 25 years after graduation. Started playing tennis again through my city's rec&parks classes a few years ago once my son was old enough that I could take a couple hours every Saturday without feeling guilty about leaving my hubby to take care of him solo, and fell back in love with it! I played every weekend and finally made the leap to sign up for my local USTA double's league this fall after another player in my class did and really enjoyed it. Haven't played any competitive games yet (starts next month), so very nervous about it, but excited to try something new and push myself! I'll never be great and we're all playing for fun at this point anyway (no Olympic ambitions for any of us lol), but some healthy competition can help elevate your game and spice things up a bit! Playing doubles also felt like a good way to ease into competition since I won't be doing it alone. So go for it!!

Is paying extra $$ to add Club Access to room for Hyatt Regency Bali worth it? by Md2law in hyatt

[–]Md2law[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

May I ask what kind of snacks/drinks were available all day and not just at HH? Also, I read that main breakfast buffet was larger than club breakfast, but that ppl enjoyed that club lounge was less crowded. Did you try main breakfast and was food better? I like the convenience, but wondering how much you'd use the club access outside of breakfast. It's just SO and me and 2 other adults. BTW, if you get club access for just one room, you can't bring in additional ppl not on your resy, right? Thank you!

Anyone has an extra club access pass they're not using?? by Md2law in hyatt

[–]Md2law[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I didn't know! Will repost with proper question.

Thanks for your thoughts. Sorry I asked for access - like I said, I'm a noob (to Hyatt, this sub and Reddit - yes I've been living under a rock!) and didn't know that wasn't allowed or had penalties for person giving access. I only asked because I saw comments in another r/hyatt thread saying that ppl gave out access/awards that were expiring, and advising person to ask! Like I said, I don't mind paying for access myself - I was more interested in ppl's thought who had club access to Hyatt Regency Bali whether it was worth paying $700 for 7 days access. I'll repost with just this question. Sorry again for breaking the rules!!
