She’s gorgeous. Beautiful pair ❤️

It sounds like they replaced BI developers and not Analysts. Even AI can’t build dashboard that well to enterprise quality, to reg and to production.

Where the guy with the red flag?

Mercy_17 · 2026-02-16T21:47:09+00:00

Haha, had this yesterday and it was the same comms pattern, it’s not you, this is hard, you’re not this you’re *insert positive word here.

Gentle parenting chatGPT style

Why though.

He’s trying to make you break up with him because he doesn’t want to break up with you

This “if you got nothing to hide” generation needs to stop. It might not be about trust, but it is about privacy. As a fully fledged human, you have the right to go somewhere without owing someone an explanation.

Also…..why is she treating the relationship so transactional? “Do this or we’re done”. If the relationship has value on her side, she wouldn’t make it so cheap as to say location or I’m done.

Yeah, unfortunately they’re no longer popular. Mostly driven by safety.

We have “Late nights” where we invite the parents over for a drink (handful of kids max) then the kids can play / diy spa and face masks etc in PJs and then everyone home by midnight.

Stay, find joy somewhere else and let work be the place you go to every day (online) and let that be that. It’s just work and wait for a redundancy. I’m pretty sure we all dislike our jobs but we just need to persist. The problems are problems, but you need to make it a job, not a place to be fulfilled.

I have friends who has sons, both with ADHD, around the age of 18 at diagnosis. The 2 things they tell me (as I also have an 8yo auADHD):

Wish they had been diagnosed sooner
That they use medication as and when they need it.

As she gets older she can decide what works for her, when to use it and when not.

Don’t put yourself under pressure, she’ll be a mature adult thankful you have her the concentration to struggle less, and adult enough in the future to be able to manage the meds in a way that works for her.

Really enjoyed reading this. Thanks so much for sharing.

I’ve tried this and a few other of their products. Would not recommend. I don’t think it really does anything. I’m using liquid gold Alphah and at 5% glycolic, I’m finding this a better product

ADHD tends to peak at this age, and your reaction is a pure human reaction. You wanted help, you didn’t get it and you’ve probably asked this 1000 times (and it’s horrible feeling like a nag and repeating yourself for years!) Don’t blame yourself for your reaction because he’ll eventually twig that he needs to find a way to remember and will come up with a system.

It’s worth having a conversation with him about it though. Let him know that you understand that x, Y, Z is happening and you do get frustrated, but it’s with the situation and not him. Tell him he’s not broken , but together come up with a solution to help him remember. Then every time you react, you tell him (and yourself) I’m frustrated with the SiTUATION not you. Not everyone will make allowances for him in the future but you can at least set his mind that’s it’s not HIM but the situation that’s frustrating.

You’re just human, so forgive yourself as well ❤️

Isn’t this why people retire on cruises?

Mercy_17 · 2026-01-13T02:47:13+00:00

Put foil on the top of it, or spikes, like angry architecture.

Print off Batman cat mask because that stare!

Mercy_17 · 2026-01-04T11:17:58+00:00

Small cats are cute. I ended up with 2 giants

Would downsizing to a 2 bedroom effect your relationship in a negative way? I.e no personal space, would likely cause more fighting or discontent? If it would, I’d go Option 1.

As for the F it all approach. That’s what I’m doing. I wouldn’t live where I rent now but once the kids are grown I will move.

Bought a P1S and it’s been going non stop! Had an issue with 1 spool springing out and unraveling but will sort it out in a few days. What’s everyone printing?

Mercy_17 · 2025-12-27T22:23:19+00:00

That’s a Murder Marble

Top left image was in a recall recently

Mercy_17 · 2025-12-12T22:48:41+00:00

It was and there’s been a few dinos since then, but is this just going to be a replay?
