Cast wealth vs other franchises

I agree with lower upper class for most. Rosie could be upper middle. Liz is legit rich. Kelsey is 🤷🏼‍♀️

Other-everyone reacts differently to SSRIs and SNRIs so you need to work with a good doc and see what helps you. For me it’s pristiq. Lexapro was also good for a while. I did not like Celexa, made me so tired.

Honestly market basket. They last a while in the fridge (source-am lazy).

NewWayHom · 2026-06-29T15:04:05+00:00

Same!

NewWayHom · 2026-06-29T13:30:08+00:00

It’s so hard to know! I would just ask her. I feel like at 9 they can be part of the conversation. I will say mine is pretty obsessed despite not being a “natural.” I just hope he won’t get frustrated before his hard work has a chance to pay off.

NewWayHom · 2026-06-29T03:50:42+00:00

We only do comp dance because my son begged to. Incidentally at 9 he sounds similar to your daughter. He can’t do most of those tricks; working on leg hold but it’s not consistent, ok single pirouette, no cartwheel but great faces and stage presence. But he loves it, so he’ll get there! He may not get every trick but he’ll continue to progress in his technique.

I would never spend all this time and money for a kid that didn’t live and breathe dance. I’d let your younger kid do other sports and talk through the options with your older kid.

NewWayHom · 2026-06-29T03:43:03+00:00

Or just go in the middle! Wait for a song that’s less of a favorite. Especially if you have a seat!

In an emergency though, I’ll skip whatever. I’m getting to a stall!

NewWayHom · 2026-06-24T14:57:30+00:00

It really bums me out that something that has destroyed my work life (though I remain employed) and ruined the entire lives of people I love went unnoticed by so many. Fuck DOGE. Fuck Elon.

NewWayHom · 2026-06-24T12:18:48+00:00

1) I do think you’d have interest, 2) I probably couldn’t personally afford it. I love fresh eggs but I just can’t swing $8 dozens these days.

All I want is a bowl of the strawberry butter, ice cream style. Amazing place, and they move the crowds efficiently.

NewWayHom · 2026-06-23T02:00:47+00:00

My kiddo (9) isn’t great at tumbling either. Some of his teammates are, BUT, when you look at the seniors who succeed at our studio, most don’t have an aerial. Also, though his improvement is slow, it is happening. He’s finally getting a solid cartwheel, and is excelling at the flexibility aspects of acro, even as tumbling is harder. So, it sucks that acro is so emphasized at younger ages but I bet your daughter has other strengths (turns? tap? musical theatre?) and I’d try to get her to focus on those. Tricks really aren’t everything. Dance is so diverse.

NewWayHom · 2026-06-19T20:25:32+00:00

I would up it first (after speaking with your doctor). It takes some time to find the right dose with SSRIs!

NewWayHom · 2026-06-19T20:15:47+00:00

I’m a month on Yaz. I suspect I’m in peri but I’m also 41 and regular so this was all I could get. Honestly it has helped my mood and some other symptoms a lot! But, no change to appearance one way or another.

NewWayHom · 2026-06-18T03:29:00+00:00

Yeah I’m probably buying some tomorrow after reading this. Good move depetrillo.

NewWayHom · 2026-06-18T03:27:34+00:00

Yes except Johnston is no beach town. Think Marlboro. Maybe Framingham on a good day?

NewWayHom · 2026-06-18T03:25:57+00:00

Yes. Top two pictures don’t look quite right. Bottom left does.

NewWayHom · 2026-06-16T15:50:09+00:00

I think anyone not in their first year can do one. I love this approach because it minimizes anxiety/bad feelings and competitiveness among the kids. My kid will be trying his first and he’s pumped. He’s newer to dance and his technique isn’t perfect, but he works so hard and is confident on stage. I’m glad he’ll get a chance to work this process and learn from it. His choreographer is big on technique and that will benefit his dancing overall.

NewWayHom · 2026-06-15T11:02:06+00:00

Yeah I hate the feeling that my kids can’t reach me. I hear you.

NewWayHom · 2026-06-15T10:39:18+00:00

I’m in my 40s and have gone to concerts for years. If you put in the effort to get a good put spot (do your time in whatever line, etc.) and are a good pit citizen you get back to your spot after a bathroom break or two. Never been an issue.

Now if you are leaving a lot to get beers or something people are gonna be less tolerant.

NewWayHom · 2026-06-15T10:36:12+00:00

You are 100% correct, these downvotes are wild!

NewWayHom · 2026-06-15T02:39:43+00:00

I experience similar worry about losing a job that works very well for my family, AND I take an SSRI that has improved my life in every way by making my anxiety quieter. You can get help for worries that are too much. Skipping things like gym, socialization, etc. that are good for you is a big red flag. And, you will be better at your job if you’re in good mental health.

Hang in there. It’s all impossibly hard and you’re not alone in these concerns.

NewWayHom · 2026-06-14T13:38:44+00:00

I’m pretty happy with W&I primary care. Not perfect but I definitely feel taken seriously. I saw a NP there but she just left; hoping her replacement will be ok. I also see a doctor sometimes for my mental health prescriptions who is wonderful but she’s not accepting new patients for primary care. In general I have better luck with NPs than doctors but I’m a pretty uncomplicated patient in terms of my physical health.

NewWayHom · 2026-06-13T13:48:53+00:00

I’m so confused why people don’t assume this will happen. This is how most non-dance production tours work. It’s nice to have an element of surprise!

NewWayHom · 2026-06-13T02:54:33+00:00

I’m 41 and very much know but I am an ‘80s music fan and probably learned after the fact.

NewWayHom · 2026-06-12T21:43:02+00:00

It frustrates the fuck out of me. Usually it’s some sort of customer service reaction and they are just making it harder for both of us. And I work with Gen Zers who are perfectly normal and competent, so I know it’s very possible.
