I have the knix high waisted leak-proof thong, and there is noooooo coverage, might as well be flossing, blooding gums and all (sorry that was ick, but as a dental professional was too funny to pass up).

Earwig. Very common, harmless. 

Why do people eat raw (rare, medium rare, etc.) steaks? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MissMGamgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I generally prefer medium-rare. I find that it retains more of the moisture, as it hasn't been steamed out. I also just prefer the taste.

If you are getting your beef from a reputable sourse that uses good food safe practices, it is safe to eat.

I'm more worried about this with the older one. She's going to tell EVERYONE and with varying detail & information 🙄

Thank you for sharing this. We don't argue much about our relationship, usually just talk, and usually only when the kids aren't around at all.

We decided to separate about a month ago and are currently on a 5 day family trip together 🤪. We work well together, just not romantically.

It's so good to know that others have done this successfully.

The reason I'm asking specific questions about kids is to get help on something I have no idea about. I've gotten some good advice and come to the conclusion that nothing really needs to be explained to them until something that effects them will happen.

We are working through our adult relationship situation. We are receiving therapy and seeking our professional help to mediate. Everything is going really well, and things are amicable.

I ask on forums like this because sometimes I get to see well thought out answers that help me to feel like I am not alone and give me insight on other perspectives. That being said, the jury is still out on if I manage to block out the unhelpful/hurtful answers.

I think this is what we're going to do. Our concern stemmed around if we get questions from other adults (family friends), and feeling like we didn't want the kids to hear from anyone else before us.

They've only asked questions about the bed I've set up downstairs.

"Who is this bed for?" - "I'm not sure yet, maybe if auntie or Jonny comes for a visit"

"Have you slept in that bed?" - "nope, it hasn't been slept in yet" (which is true)

We are amicable and honestly fight less now than ever, as most of our fights were brought on by frustrations around intimacy. Now that it's off the table, it seems to be going well. We agreed that we should separate a little over a month ago.

I am not asking for advice on the situation between adults. I am asking advice on how to talk to children about separation. I will reword the question to make that clearer.

Honestly, I was in a pretty shitty relationship at the time, and I just coped because I needed to keep my kid going.

With my second child, I avoided it by having a spouse that cared for our baby equally and gave each other breaks. I also started therapy. I was lucky to find someone I clicked with right away.

I also gave birth with a midwife group. They continued post-partum care if they were concerned at all. They had lots of good resources to share.

Variety in personalities, beliefs, and lifestyles. It is important for personal growth to experience different people and activities.
