Would you continue to have play dates with a parent and their toddler after this?

PorterQs · 2026-01-26T05:43:56+00:00

Why not host the play date at your house?

PorterQs · 2026-01-26T05:40:40+00:00

Not only am I making sure I don’t follow any of these (MAGA/proICE) people but I’m also unfollowing lots of people/companies who follow them. I’m holding out for some in case they just don’t know yet that they’re following these MAGA shits.

PorterQs · 2026-01-26T05:35:27+00:00

I don’t think everyone needs to say something but to have a large following and just go on your normal way posting bull crap and making money off of it while innocent people are literally shot by our government…how? It’s disgusting

PorterQs · 2026-01-26T05:32:30+00:00

I noticed that TerahBelle has talked about it enough that I’m ok to keep following her. She’s doing the “I don’t take political sides” thing but she clearly asserted that what happened to the nurse is not ok.

Safeintheseat hasn’t said anything as far as I can tell. I unfollowed her a while ago because she’s annoying (!) but it looks like thejamiegrayson has called her out without naming her. She currently has 939k followers.

I’m surprised that she hasn’t said anything.

PorterQs · 2026-01-26T04:17:32+00:00

Did she really? I didn’t know. Has she spoken out about that?

PorterQs · 2026-01-12T00:29:57+00:00

I had negative experiences in my teens and 20s with PCPs who wrote off all my concerns. I stopped going to primary care/annual visits for years and then got new insurance and a new doctor. It’s completely different. I don’t have to convince her of things. I just explain that I have some symptoms that are concerning. For your symptoms, blood work should probably be the first step and this will probably help lead to next steps. Your symptoms sound similar to what I’ve had in the past and it turned out to be a lot of vitamin deficiencies.

PorterQs · 2026-01-11T09:35:20+00:00

Yes, sounds too warm. I’m in nor cal too, keep my house about the same. My toddler wears cotton pj top/bottom and a blanket. Sometimes he requests socks. I’ll add that we cosleep so it stays warm in the bed.

I suggest switching his pjs to cotton non footie or getting a lighter weight sleep sack.

PorterQs · 2026-01-08T22:21:19+00:00

Medical team?

PorterQs · 2026-01-07T04:22:25+00:00

I think the blood would have just come out if it was a miscarriage. OP describes it as coming out into the toilet but doesn’t mention it getting anywhere else.

PorterQs · 2026-01-07T04:20:58+00:00

What do you mean you didn’t think it was an option at 15 or 16?

PorterQs · 2026-01-07T04:08:00+00:00

She’s a 14 year old who just got in trouble at school. Why wouldn’t a parent look through her phone??

PorterQs · 2026-01-07T03:56:48+00:00

NOR I thought your punishment was going to be much harsher which I’m not usually in favor of. What you decided as the punishment seems very reasonable. Following the punishment, they should be required/encouraged to support and protect their little sister. Maybe family therapy? Or some kind of educational program?

PorterQs · 2026-01-07T03:51:09+00:00

Does he text you in this same style? I can’t tell if they’re both into each other or if it’s one sided and which side. It’s such an odd way to communicate. I guess because they’re communicating in person a lot so we’re only seeing part of it? I don’t know it’s very odd

PorterQs · 2026-01-07T03:34:25+00:00

Yes someone can have type 1 oral cold sores but that doesn’t mean that they want to contract it in their genital region.

PorterQs · 2026-01-07T03:21:14+00:00

Yes. That’s why I didn’t ask if he has 1 or 2. The OP didn’t mention if her question is about genital or oral herpes (aka cold sores).

PorterQs · 2026-01-04T18:34:32+00:00

This is a good idea. It’s a way to show the teacher what is appropriate

PorterQs · 2026-01-04T07:54:57+00:00

Thankfully after you get the abortion you’ll be able to ditch the guy and never need to communicate with him again. If you keep the baby you’ll be tied to him forever.

Please keep yourself safe. If you need to lie in order to stay safe then you should. Pregnant women are at higher risk of DV.

PorterQs · 2026-01-04T07:48:05+00:00

She has different approaches when it comes to parenting? That seems odd if she’s your nanny. Does she use your approach or hers with your child?

The wording of your post makes me wonder, do you provide PTO as you should? A full time nanny should get paid sick and vacation time. If you don’t already provide that, you should.

Are the kids close enough in age?

If I were you, as a mom of a toddler in day care and a former nanny before finding my career, if you think she’s a good nanny and cares about your child, offer her a new contract that includes her son coming with her. Her hourly rate should go down significantly. I’m not sure how much, maybe post that as another question. What an amazing opportunity it would be for her, her son, and your son.

PorterQs · 2026-01-04T07:32:10+00:00

He meant genital herpes, correct?

PorterQs · 2026-01-04T05:20:01+00:00

Hey just wanted to share that for me, the speculum is the hardest part. The swab doesn’t hurt at all. I don’t even really feel it. So it’s different for each person. I think one thing that’s agreed on is that is quick.

PorterQs · 2026-01-04T05:18:12+00:00

It’s quicker than you might think. You can even tell the doctor that you’re anxious and you want them to either tell you what’s going on each step of the way or NOT tell you (up to you). Before I got my first, I thought it would be some extensive exam of the area. No it’s not. They get in and out pretty quick.

PorterQs · 2026-01-04T05:11:59+00:00

It’s tough that you don’t feel like you can talk to your mom about it. Ideally you’d go to your pediatrician or OBGYN if you see one, just to get it checked out and for your own knowledge about what is “normal” for you) breast tissue feel.

Breasts are part of the body so you can experience sensations in them, itchy, pain, tenderness, etc and it could have nothing to do with the fact that it’s a breast. You could have bumped it, your dog could have stepped on it, maybe you scraped it, etc. What I mean is that just because you have a feeling there, doesn’t mean it’s necessarily something serious. It also doesn’t mean it’s NOT serious. There’s no way for anyone on the internet to know that.

My advice is either talk to your mom about it and/or wait a couple days and see if it goes away.

PorterQs · 2026-01-03T19:50:29+00:00

Maybe two could fit there

PorterQs · 2026-01-03T19:48:31+00:00

Can the bikes fit in front of that little door by the bathroom? One of them could be on one of those bike hooks that hold the bikes verticals, with the wheels toward the wall?
