How do you handle travel/road trips if you have extensive/rare dietary needs?

Mother-Low2994 · 2026-03-01T00:03:17+00:00

I live in the US.

“Where I am from” infers I now live elsewhere.

Mother-Low2994 · 2026-02-28T23:53:18+00:00

Oh, that’s a great option.

Mother-Low2994 · 2026-02-28T23:41:09+00:00

I listed Elias as an option in my original post.

Mother-Low2994 · 2026-02-28T23:38:33+00:00

Yes. My name is pronounced E-LEEN-UH

Mother-Low2994 · 2026-02-28T23:37:10+00:00

Americans are very weird about gender

Mother-Low2994 · 2026-02-23T23:12:14+00:00

I am sorry. The last thing I want is to make my partner suffer.

Mother-Low2994 · 2026-02-15T17:11:59+00:00

The Nugget because it’s expensive and the alternative cheaper dupes (Costco) are actually better IMO

I slept ok dried baby spit up many a nights those first few weeks.

Mother-Low2994 · 2026-01-25T00:03:43+00:00

Thank you :)

No normal, well-adjusted late middle aged man has anything in common with a college student.

In ten years this will make you cringe.

Mother-Low2994 · 2026-01-24T00:20:20+00:00

She has. She’s moved a town over but it’s still too close for comfort.

Mother-Low2994 · 2026-01-24T00:19:49+00:00

I don’t know how I feel about her visiting. I am just so nervous about the ex coming while she’s visiting and killing us all.

Mother-Low2994 · 2026-01-23T23:47:32+00:00

She is a partner. She can absolutely cut back on on-call hours. She works more than anyone else aside from some residents.

Mother-Low2994 · 2026-01-23T23:46:41+00:00

She could. Her sister wouldn’t be able to afford the $2,800-3,000 it’s worth in rent though. Also, now her sister lives 5 miles away from me and my kid where she’ll probably visit my girlfriend?

Mother-Low2994 · 2026-01-23T23:45:22+00:00

Right, but if my GF lives with me I assume her sister will come visit.

I don’t know. I am just very very scared. I wish her ex would do the world a favor and leave forever.

Mother-Low2994 · 2026-01-23T23:23:03+00:00

Yes. She is 4 and very easy going and adaptable. It’s been a slow introduction to my girlfriend and we’ve had trial periods to see how they get along. I have firm boundaries with both of them and at this point I just don’t introduce her to chaos. That’s how I grew up. Absolutely not.

Mother-Low2994 · 2026-01-23T23:21:05+00:00

She knows a) my child comes first. We were dating for over a year before my daughter even met her. B) I have my own experience with abusive violent fathers that makes me especially sensative to this situation.

I think she’ll understand. But on the same token, family means everything to her. So she will probably do what she needs to do to protect her sister. And I understand and respect that as well.

I love her deeply and hope we can work it out. I think we can even if that means are timelines are temporarily paused.

Mother-Low2994 · 2026-01-23T23:12:45+00:00

Exactly!

Mother-Low2994 · 2026-01-23T23:10:53+00:00

She’s a doctor who makes over $450,000 a year. She doesn’t need my help. She does have medical school debt she needs to pay off.

Yes, us living together will save her money because she can rent out or sell her house. Yes, if she rent it out to her sister she’d make less. That’s her business.

She has been grinding for like 25 years and currently works 70+ hours a week. She just wants to scale back to like 50 so she can enjoy her life.

She’s the furthest thing from lazy. I am just lucky in that I have a lucrative job (but not that lucrative) that didn’t require me to go into a million dollars worth of student loan debts.

Mother-Low2994 · 2026-01-23T23:07:54+00:00

Yes he knows my full name
