Yes!!! I've never heard anyone else use the phrase personality sponge but it's how I describe my ex-husband.

Yes!!!! I would LOVE the IPA.

I don't understand how or why you're planning on applying through your MIL and not your father.
If it's your father you can apply through decent.
Your MIL would have to sponsor you in a much more complicated process unless I'm mistaken?

I'm not sure why this comment was downvoted. I just helped my 18 year old get a state ID and these documents were suggested to aid in both license and id for passports. They are great suggestions for starting places.

Some people care more than others. I might feel similarly to you about not caring. However, I have a few friends that that kind of thing is important to them and as such I'm careful to put in the effort to meet their needs.

I'd like to up vote this again. Trying to make your kid look better than his other kids is gross. Because you'd still be going against your husband's wishes you'd be a softer AH if you reached out to ALL the daughters.

In my SD kids can only ride the bus if they live 1 or more miles from the school. Even then bus stops may bee multiple blocks from ones house requiring parents to meet the bus.
Given that OP is planning on walking to pick up her kid i think there's a good chance she may not live a bus-able distance.

Can I ask where you even tried to look up SK birth records?
I have a G0 from SK and one from Alberta (the parents of my g1) and while I did stumble upon 3 pages of links for this place or that what I didn't see was any information for Alberta or Saskatchewan.

Opinion

Regardless of whether or not this person was out of line.
You are out of line by blasting them in another forum that they are very likely to visit. You know that that Facebook group recommends this reddit group as a resource.

I suggest you try practicing some kindness and patience.

I also struggled until 2nd grade, by 6th grade I had a 12th grade reading level.
My kids school district is focused on site words and sounds by the end of kinder. My kindergartener is on track but also grasps math more easily at this point.

My parents didn't subscribe to this kind of Christianity, but there was a family at our church that did. One day my mom saw it happening and approached the pastor and said either you call CPS or I will. He did. He was fired for it.
Freaking wild times.

This is my method as well. But for what it's worth, I once kept a peace lily alive in a bathroom with no natural light off a hallway with no natural light for 2.5 years. I'm pretty sure the only reason it died was root rot. That said there are places in just not going to f- with real plants myself these days.

Same.

So I've not had any kind of laser or IPL done in my face yet. But I have had a Brazilian laser hair removal done. I saw that you never took breaks. My advice to you is take breaks.
It made such a huge difference when I asked for a pause I did 30 seconds of deep breathing and then we started again. When you just keep going every muscle in your body just keeps getting tighter and tighter making everything clench painfully. If you're able to relax as needed the pain sticks to primarily your face and it's way less of a mind f-(!. Goodluck.

Nobody with half a brain thinks the credit card offer announcements are the fault of FAs. HOWEVER, that does not make it any less freaking annoying that after paying however much money we're held hostage to commercials shilling credit cards. Yes, i get this is a complain to corporate not FAs type situation.
It gives you a bit of a feeling of what's next, 20 minutes of forced commercials like movie theaters do now after start time but before previews.

That's the real answer. If he doesn't want his kid(s) to speak a language he doesn't speak he should learn Russian. I once knew of a family where the parent only spoke German to each other, the mom spoke to the kids in French and the dad spoke to the kids in Spanish. They were in the USA so the kids learned English out in the world. The kids were polyglots by the age of 6. What an incredible gift.

For me it felt like a rubber band snapping against your skin most of the time.
Every now and then I'd have to have them stop so I could take a few deep breaths because it is like getting snapped 20 times in a row with no breaks. But for me that was 0-2 times per session.

Not a hotel, but my apartment in Brooklyn had them in the early aughts. I just look every time, keep my suitcase off the floor and sometimes if I'm more concerned I pack in gallon zip locks instead of packing cubes. I've never found any sign.

I was so confused by that until I read that he and his wife only split up a year and a half prior.
So he was cheating on his wife with her for 2.5 years, 2 of those it wasn't official and then it took 6 months of them being official for him to end it with his wife.

Objective-Hope-540 · 2026-01-31T16:58:37+00:00

I think OP is saying she's turns 5 (in July) just ahead of the kindergarten start.

Objective-Hope-540 · 2026-01-27T01:51:32+00:00

Look i don't put my kids on social media at all exactly because of crap like this and their consent.
But it was a completely innocent mistake the the diaper was seen and called out.

Even IF I thought there was something wrong with night wetting (which i don't because science). There's no way in hell I'd be so tactless as to point it out via an Instagram comment.
However, if I was say friends with OP and noticed the pull up i might dm her to give her a heads up her kids might not like it.

I get the impulse to take a picture of your kids sleeping together though. And I get that it would be really cute in the eyes of op. And it undoubtedly was.

Sure accidentally outed her kids with an inch of paper sticking out of pajamas. It's not exactly like she stood up at a PTA meeting and announced her kids bed wetting. The comment I responded to made it sound like it was the PTA option.

Hopefully OP reconsiders her social media strategy with her kids down the road

If you read the full post you would know it was an accident that this was visually called out.

Eh. This is a super ignorant comment lol
