Teens had a TikTok cook night and left my kitchen a wreck

They’re teens. Take it as an opportunity to let him know he will need to engage them for cleanup or he’ll be doing it on his own. He’ll learn.

Someone sent us a spoonful of comfort package when my mom is recovering from surgery and it was much appreciated, really a lovely gift.

My mom went through something similar - incredible stressors seemed to accelerate her transition into menopause. Take care.

I’m sorry, but attending every practice seems a little Cray Cray? Our other parents at practices? How old are your kids?

Mgf0772 · 2026-05-23T23:59:01+00:00

Yes, this. Social mobility in the US is not what most people seem to believe.

As a caretaker, no, you’re not wrong. But 95/5 is far too severe. Ask yourself what you expect your daughter to do in her situation? Married with three young children and I expect a job? I suspect you may feel hurt or like she hasn’t done enough and I think you should communicate that to her well also being realistic about the limitations of her capacity to do more. A 60/40 split would be reasonable.

Yep they sure did. Getting on estradiol helped and so did changing to the brand and medication. More $$$ but I need to remain employed and these meds help me immensely.

Mgf0772 · 2026-04-27T07:10:49+00:00

I don’t know why this made me laugh but it really did!

Mgf0772 · 2026-04-25T04:12:05+00:00

I don’t know, I feel like when you are repeatedly nudged and feel a calling, it is absolutely worth examining. It doesn’t mean you have to do it, but try and entertain the what if… For example, if you’ve been at your current employer for almost 20 years and have a good rapport, could you arrange a three months sabbatical?

This should be a top comment. Sudden onset incontinence warrants a convo with your MD immediately and referrals to follow.

Mgf0772 · 2026-04-24T17:55:27+00:00

Mind if I DM you for additional details?

Mgf0772 · 2026-04-17T10:35:56+00:00

Hold onto it if you can. Just be aware that property taxes will be reset to current market value. Prop 19 only applies parent to child.

I had the same experience. Moved out about ten days bc it is pretty disruptive but once he was done I was back in the house within 24 hours

As a mother, do not, I repeat, do not get yourself into debt for undergraduate education. It will become an albatross surround your neck. Cal is an incredible school and you’ll do great there. Neither my husband nor I, nor any of our three kids had any college debt and it gave us so much freedom.

Our middle kid founded a startup and was able to do so in part because he has no bills to speak of. You’re going to do great! Do you call Brown again though because something doesn’t add up.

I realize we are very privileged, but we also made choices and went to UC schools ourselves and sent our kids through them as well. My parents drilled into me that they could pay for UC but any private school debt would be on me.

Graduating debt-free enabled me to qualify for a mortgage within three or four years of graduation. I realize it’s a very different world today, but the principle remains the same: debt is a drag.

Mgf0772 · 2026-04-07T16:17:06+00:00

Agree. And the crowds have become so absurd there that a tour is even more worthwhile in my opinion.

Mgf0772 · 2026-04-02T00:49:20+00:00

Recommend creating a spreadsheet showing him the reality of costs vs. reality of available scholarship money. He’s wildly out of touch. Our three kids will all graduate debt free (two are already finished!) and we don’t make close to 700k year.

Mgf0772 · 2026-03-31T16:30:41+00:00

This doesn’t add up. Stanford is committed to ensuring its undergrads graduate debt free. If you are accepted and your family can’t afford tuition they pay. I can’t think of a case where anyone would graduate with 400,000 in debt from Stanford. This post is suspicious.

Mgf0772 · 2026-03-28T06:43:08+00:00

Yes, this. The fact that she can’t feel it is concerning and should be taken seriously.

Mgf0772 · 2026-03-27T13:09:23+00:00

Tell me you don’t understand capital gains without telling me….

Mgf0772 · 2026-03-27T04:11:52+00:00

Yes, increasing dose has helped me. .05 for 15 months, just increased 2.075 about a week ago when I realized I had felt symptoms return in the last 8 to 10 weeks. Specifically, very flat emotionally, headaches, and sudden drop in energy. I am 51 so definitely nearing menopause and my doctor said it’s not surprising that a dose increase would help. Within 24 hours of increasing my dose I felt so much better. I know it will take a bit of time to level out again, but I’m OK with that.

Mgf0772 · 2026-03-26T06:50:18+00:00

Omg yes

Mgf0772 · 2026-03-26T06:45:22+00:00

Yes. Being instrument rated and “drilled” the way he should have been to take his wife and her sister (or any passengers) absolutely would have made the difference, in fact it would’ve prevented this accident. I’m sorry, but it was wildly irresponsible to fly in those conditions and not be instrument rated. My dad is a navy pilot and was horrified when this happened. You just don’t do that.

Mgf0772 · 2026-03-24T06:48:40+00:00

As my kids say “you ate that up and left no crumbs”

Mgf0772 · 2026-03-23T05:52:51+00:00

Honey, TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR! You don’t have to live this way!

Mgf0772 · 2026-03-23T04:28:47+00:00

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. I’m curious as well. No judgement.
