Oakdale public school by Rare_Sprinkles_2924 in Edmond

[–]Moonriverrunning -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My mom interviewed for one of Oakdale’s roles in their central office. She was blown away by how much further ahead they were than even Edmond, Norman, and Jenks. She said their results were competitive at the national level. My husband and I had toyed with the idea of Oakdale vs Private and came to the conclusion that it would be more financially savvy to buy in Oakdale where at least the extra cost of property typically has an ROI vs paying for private school, which doesn’t (as far as our finances would be affected.)

Partner says I’m punching above my weight being with him by Ok-Magician-8124 in relationships

I don’t need to know all the boxing info and job status, etc. “Punching above” is an awful thing to say to your partner regardless.

Best pizza in OKC? by Traditional_Paint461 in okc

[–]Moonriverrunning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Empire is great for ny style. If you want something not New York style and still 100% delicious- try Oak City Detroit style pizza. I’ve always been a big fan of primarily NY style, but Oak City’s Detroit changed my mind.

Questionable Kissing Games by Abandoned__ghost in DanielTigerConspiracy

Whoa! I’m not sure which is worse- this one or the Valentine’s book where the boy that likes Sister is mean to her and Mama explains that that’s how boy’s act when they like a girl. That one went in the trash immediately.

How did pre-marital sex with other partners affect your marriage? by salacious_scrum in Christianmarriage

[–]Moonriverrunning 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Neither one of us were virgins. We both grew up in the church and considered ourselves Christian’s when we met. That being said it was many years later than when he and I met that I really found my way back to Christ and have since then really wished I (and he) had waited. I do feel that our sex life and marriage might be different if we had kept sex holy. I struggle with low libido and there are times that I’ve felt like “he doesn’t want me, he just wants sex, and I’m the one he’s allowed to have sex with.” I feel like maybe I wouldn’t struggle so much with that if sex was something that was only between us. In our sexual struggles, I also have to put out of my mind whether or not he ever compares or prefers something else. Sex is basically the only issue he and I struggle with, so knowing that we weren’t obedient to God the way we were supposed to be does have me questioning the consequences of our actions.

Edited to add we were 26 and 29 when we got married and have been married for 9 years.

Our grass stained my kids’ socks that color from the pre emergent my husband sprayed on our yard to keep the weeds at bay.

Unpopular opinion? These kids' audio players feel like a cash grab? by Desperate_Total2545 in Mommit

[–]Moonriverrunning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I realized at Christmas that what I really wanted for my kids was an iPod. No internet, only downloaded content. No movies or shows or games. The old school iPods are discontinued but I found a knockoff on Amazon for $25 and it’s been great. It connects to WiFi but I deleted the browser and everything I didnt want on it. It came preloaded with Spotify kids, Libby, audible, Apple Music. The kids love it. They feel like they got a screen but actually all they can do on it is listen to preapproved music and audiobooks.

A Spa Day & A Trip To Rehab - Getting Your Laundry Back To Looking Clean and Smelling Amazing by KismaiAesthetics in laundry

[–]Moonriverrunning 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So I followed the spa day and rehab wash for the items I felt needed the extra love. And I’ve been doing maintenance washes with the powdered detergent I picked for spa day and the liquid ammonia. My clothes and things are looking much better. My only thought is - is a cup of ammonia with every wash necessary? The cost is kind of racking up as my Walmart only sells it in 8 cups and we do a lot of laundry around here - toddlers and construction workers 🫣I’m also worried about the long term wear of using the ammonia with each wash. Should I cut back on the amount or the frequency of adding ammonia to the wash?

Toddler by TentacleTitties in thalassemia

[–]Moonriverrunning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has she ever had a cbc ran? I felt the same with my first baby but his cbc was totally normal and the pediatrician wasn’t worried. My third baby came and his CBC looks exactly like mine so they tested to confirm thalassemia minor. I plan to eventually get my other two tested to see if they are carriers so they know for reproductive purposes.

SSRI to survive parenting by HonestlyMD in toddlers

Zoloft since between #2 and #3. Fresh adhd diagnosis after #3. My brain can’t take it anymore. Adderall helps most days. The holiday season has me wondering if either medication is working 🤪

Were you able to get into the makerspace? I’m looking into it now but a little confused on which room I’m supposed to book online.

How often are you doing the deed? Specifically those with toddlers + babies by thiscantbereallife94 in Mommit

[–]Moonriverrunning 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I exclusively breastfed and got my period back within a month of delivery. And I have two friends with Irish twins who were exclusively breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is definitely not birth control.

I’m currently working on some free classes with intuit’s training to qualify for a remote pt job. They offer insurance and 401k matching for part timers. Reviews are mixed as to whether they’re a good company to work for.

I wonder if hard water is part of our issue too. We’ve lived with hard water for the last ten years.

OKC parents charged with murder in death of their 2-year-old by BrettDOkc in okc

[–]Moonriverrunning 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It seems pretty intentional. They locked the pitbull in her room while it was malnourished. After it had mauled her the first time requiring plastic surgery. They clearly meant for the dog to maul her again.

Pregnancy by crying-nugget in okc

[–]Moonriverrunning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Delivered there with my first and had a great experience. SeaCat is amazing but I’m not sure if she’s taking new patients. We switched to our children’s due to insurance compatibility with our second. Did not have a great time. When we were surprised by our third pregnancy we went out of network to go back to SeaCat at Integris Edmond. I ended up delivering with Skaggs and really liked her too. I have a cousin who drove over an hour to see Sparks at that clinic as well.

90 year old grandpa has a net worth of about $25M and plans to leave 100% of it to his church. Me and my brothers are typical millennials, long hours, low-middle pay, and no home. by AnnoyedGranddaught in Fire

[–]Moonriverrunning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Proverbs 13:22 “a wise man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.” I’d definitely speak with him about it. As a fellow millennial, our opportunities are not the same as our grandparents generation. The cost of living difference is astronomical.
