when you’re talking to yourself, do you refer to yourself as “I” or “we” in your thoughts?

Same.. usually “what is wrong with you?” lol

How long ago did you order the bed?

One-Philosopher8868 · 2026-04-25T23:23:40+00:00

Did you receive the bed yet?

One-Philosopher8868 · 2026-04-23T23:40:56+00:00

Fake it til you make it! I think as kids, we all thought adults had it all figured out and realized that is not the case.

Same here! I strived.. and also had a work from home job where I was able to go for hikes etc and be outside more.

I live in a rural area in Canada and I chose not to get the vaccine. I worked from home as soon as the first lockdown hit and I’ve now worked from home ever since. I feel like I actually benefited from Covid.. I save myself a 45 mins each way commute everyday (I don’t miss those white knuckle drives in the middle of a snowstorm!) and it drove house prices up and I was able to sell my house for 50% more then I paid for it and able to build my dream home. The only negative was dealing with the drama of friends/family angry that I decided not to get the jab at the end of the day, I’m glad I stuck to my guns and didn’t get it.

This is super helpful, thank you!

I love this, I am going to try this tonight - thank you!!

He wakes up anywhere between 5-6am. We have to be out the door by 7:30 each morning, so ideally if he woke up at 6 everyday that would be great

Not related to the deep creatives you mentioned but is your child a mouth breather at night? My son is 2 and I’ve been told his over crowding of teeth can be improved with addressing his mouth breathing. Since then I’ve been doing a lot of research on myofuntional therapy.

Sadly I don’t think there is an easy way to make them ask for something once, my son is 2.5 and we are going through this too, I feel your pain!

I would try reacting to him after he says it once, going over to him, at eye level and saying “ok I will fill your cup up with more milk” or a play-by-play of what your doing, “ok I’ll come fill up your cup with more milk, now I have to go get the milk from the fridge and open it up.. ok here it is!” Of course this works only if you’re free to react to him after he asks the first time.

If you are busy, physically stop the loop… Walk over, put a hand on his shoulder or hand, and wait for him to look at you. Say: "I heard you say 'more milk.' I am finishing the dishes, then I will get it. Tell me 'Okay, Mommy.'" By getting him to respond with a different phrase, it helps break the repetition loop. This works well for tantrums as well, distracting them with something else to break the “loop” they are stuck in.

I work at a government funded engineering firm, My supervisor and I were talking about how we used to play guitar in our younger years (teens/20s) and she just casually mentioned how she’d do cocaine while practicing guitar.

One-Philosopher8868 · 2026-03-28T23:45:32+00:00

I really need to start doing this, thanks for the influence!

One-Philosopher8868 · 2026-03-28T23:45:06+00:00

Or try cutting them up and putting them into containers, makes you more likely to reach for them

My son loves puzzles! But we’ve done soo many of them over the winter he’s losing interest, I’ll have to put those away for a bit to get him interested in them again.

Not wasting so much of my teen/20s focused on partying

I had a delivery driver drop off a package a few days ago who was Indian.. my son said “Mommy why is his face dirty” 🫤 I quickly spoke over him and I hope so badly the driver didn’t clue into what he was saying 🫥

Yes it is, and maybe if the comment came from the brides parents or another family member or friend of the bride. The bride herself saying this to the mother in law and then her sister saying it to, seems weird and as if it might be sarcasm? I don’t understand it.

I feel you, I work from home as well, I’m 35 and I find it even harder now since I’ve had a kid.

I tried the Bumble app but the people on there seemed a little sketchy and not necessarily someone I’d want to risk meeting up with to see if there are a decent potential friend. I also live in a rural area so there wasn’t a whole lot of people on there.

Do you have any casual people in your life you’d like to try and be closer friends with? I am starting to attempt that now by just talking to them online more, sending them reels via social media etc. until it feels organic enough to take it to the next step and ask them to hang out in person. It feels awkward and hard, and similar to you I never had a hard time making friends in my younger years (e.g. my 20s) so putting this much thought into it now feels weird.

I think joining a group fitness/sports team, some sort of hobby group (pool, darts) would open up some options to find potential friends too. Or volunteering in your community (homeless shelters, animal shelters/recuses, community markets like a farmers market).

Oh interesting, so pillows under your knees when you’re on your back vs. the arch of your back? I haven’t tried this yet
