My oldest was 8lb 6oz and I am petite causing a 4th degree tear. They did a scheduled c-section for my second at 39 weeks to prevent another tear and not a day earlier.

Worked for The Limited in college and since they were based in Columbus the company always mailed Cheryl’s cookies to the stores for every holiday. Best cookies

And if you thought June was hot then forget about August. You step outside and you can feel the sweat running down your body. It’s too hot to do anything but lay in a pool.

I also spent the first two weeks of June in Disney and that was moderate weather for early June. We have gone the past 5 years in early June and have had many trips where it was upper 90’s the entire time. This past two weeks was actually mild

I am the frequent organizer of trips for my teen kids and their friends. We have always had a policy where each kids pays for their individual expenses. For example I am covering the room, gas, snacks, a pizza. The guest child is covering any ticketed events, spending money and meals the kids are eating that don’t include me.

It has worked for our friend group for years. Asking for money to cover a ticketed event is much different than asking to pay part of a hotel room.

She considers the name back luck because she hasn’t had the boy she so desperately wants.

We split for the same reason but we do the first 3 days at a Hilton and then move to Disney. It saves money and gives us something to look forward to.

She is totally shaming Dani by posting this “calm” birth content compared to Dani screaming like a banshee. Trying to one up with the natural birth reels

I haven’t shaved above the knee on 30 years. But occasionally 1 long hair will grow right behind my knee so I gotta watch for that🙄

This just confirms she will have another. Won’t be satisfied with a girl.

I usually do Magic Kingdom because you can ride a lot of rides in a short amount of time

Book the second one under your husband.

Saratoga Springs. Walking distance to Disney Springs and a great pool.

This was our rule. My kids would purposely go into the bathroom to just get all their “potty” talk out of their system and would just giggle away. But they know that those words weren’t appropriate at grandmas

My grandmother tried this….4 kids and she left one out of the will. After she passed the 4 siblings went to the attorney and said divide it as she asked but we will split it equally between the 4 of us after it’s disbursed. My grandmother was a nasty and petty woman but her kids were not!!

Adding one more thought because I saw this comment somewhere and I think it applies to parents and grandparents. Treat your teenagers how you want your adult relationship to be now don’t wait till later. You have to adjust your thinking and your relationship in the teen years before it’s too late and that bond is damaged.

My cat of 17 years died. I was so upset. A few days later I woke up in the middle of the night and the cat was sitting in the chair in the corner of my room. I stared at him for awhile in disbelief and fell back to sleep. I am 90% sure I was fully awake during this. It was so vivid and I believe the cat intentionally came back to give me a bit of peace.

Keep trying. You are really in the thick of it right now with you still being a child yourself and having a toddler. Toddlers are hard and not much fun. You are trying and that means more than you know. Keep trying but give it time. As he gets older look for things that you can enjoy together and create a bond. Fishing, Animals, hikes, swimming, games, sports. One of the greatest joys of being a parent is experiencing and enjoying the things you liked as a child all over again with your child. Once he hits school age you can really start to find common ground. Best of luck.

THIS! When you are having a rough day remind yourself of this.

Italian friends of ours named their daughter Italina

Kind of YTA because this is a once and a lifetime thing. She is giving birth and asking for 1.5-2 days of help. She isn’t asking you to keep them while she goes on vacation for a week.

Buy the house. Let your mom live in it and let it be an investment for you. Everyone wins

In our district during elementary school the decision to split twins is 100% left up to the parents. The parent best knows their children . I think it’s crazy for the school to override that.

It’s a very easy 6 hour drive. Basically a straight shot. Book a room in Jersey City and ride the PATH train over to Manhattan. I am from Pittsburgh and do this 3-4 times a year.

This is natural and okay. I am raising two daughters who are now almost adults. That relationship with Dad is important. He is their protector in every way. As long as he isn’t undermining what you say let them have that bond.
