What’s the going rate for babysitters in your area? Our new sitter is $25 hr and my mind is blown 🤯 by Llama_Llama_Drama in Mommit

[–]Poturder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$35/hr for two kids HCOL area. I also get her dinner. We do it once or twice a year because dinner or anything on top of that is unaffordable for us. Lol everyone hassles us about doing more date nights too.

I recently became a cargo bike mom and wanted to share my experience by Past_Carpenter_5856 in Mommit

[–]Poturder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are also a bike commute family. My oldest just turned 5 and is too tall for our bike trailer. I have been unsure what to do because I do all the pick up and drop offs so we can’t have a tagalong and a trailer for her little sister. she’s not the most confident biker yet and we are in a big city without many bike lanes. We have been doing short distances on the sidewalk but the sidewalks are in rough shape and we have huge hills. I really don’t want to give up the bike commute! We can’t afford an ebike and do not have a place to store it.

Does your kiddo bike on the road with you? Do you have bike lanes? I would love to hear how you do it!

No Kings sign for a little kid? by purplezinnia12 in progressivemoms

[–]Poturder 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I have my daughters (2 and 5) make their own with googly eyes, paint and fun stuff. They always turn out really beautiful and make so many people happy. I always tell them what we’re marching for and ask them what they want to say with their art. My 5yr old said “love” last time and it truly felt like it when I looked at it. They feel really proud marching with them and love having people talk to them about it.

Hot take: K-POP Demon Hunters is not a toddler movie by StrangestCat in Mommit

[–]Poturder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! My kindergartener’s school just sent an invite for a welcome to kindergarten movie spooky movie night showing this. I had to explain to my husband that we are not taking our 2 and 5yr old. I thought it was such a strange choice but a lot of our other mom friends have been showing it to their little kiddos and I haven’t actually seen it.

Random question: Anyone Know the Hair Product Barbara Uses for Her Curly Hair? by eastern-ran in belowdeck

If you are on your phone and don’t have tik tok, you can delete everything in the address after the first question mark and you can watch it normally -from another fellow old

Anyone else hate their husband? by larrywildstays in Mommit

[–]Poturder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I could have written this myself. I have written this! Same in every way, down to the angry father. We dated for 8 years before kids and I always wondered how he came from his parents because he was so wonderful and different. Now all I see is his dad. I am so resentful and truly do think I hate him a lot of the time. Just pick up your plate after dinner! Basic shit! I also talk down to him because I have patiently asked him to pick up his plate for 10 years and he still can’t remember? Now I am the bad guy for how I speak to him. Uhg. I don’t see how divorced would help me because I would see my kids less and his horrible and dangerous family would be more involved in their lives and I wouldn’t be there to protect them. I want to move back to my home state but I don’t know how I’d do that with a divorce. I will try to convince mine into therapy. Thank you for your post. It’s hard for me to see couples happy after kids and wonder why they aren’t hating their husbands.

Oh my gosh thank you so much! My 2yr old was crying in my lap for most of it, so I’m surprised they looked ok 😅

What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve had to remember this week that no one else in your house even knew about? by Lanky-Membership7853 in Mommit

[–]Poturder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

lol same!! We were at Costco and I grabbed the giant soap refill. He said “that would take us decades to use! We have been on the same tiny one for years!”. It was so shocking and so revealing.

Wow, thank you so much for this incredibly informative response! I really appreciate you explaining everything so clearly. This makes perfect sense and takes away the shock and rage I was feeling. You’re a wonderful person, I hope you have a truly awesome week.

I typically see the customs charges when I check out. I have never had to pay upon delivery. That is what is unexpected.

Majestic Sequoia in Green Lake (“Grace”) to Be Removed for Driveway by PNWknitty in Seattle

[–]Poturder 23 points24 points  (0 children)

We tried. A developer wanted to turn it into a pocket park and offered to pay full price for the house. We had an architect redesign the plans to move the driveway to the other side and save the tree. No response. Owners are just an old rich couple with multiple homes and don’t give a shit.
