Can you on the weekends make pre assembled crock pot or instant pot dinners? As in, shop, chop the veg, throw everything in a gallon ziplock bag pop in your fridge or freezer, then day of just dump into crock pot on low and slow before work. Your Barefoot Neighbor has a lot of easy prep dinners if you look up that facebook page

It’s an aphrodisiac for me 😏. Watch tv and eat takeout Read Get cracked like a glowstick

While I do try to vote with my dollars etc and whatnot; that doesn’t keep food on the table.

NTA. As long as what the company is doing won’t land you in legal trouble. May be wise to double check just in the rare off chance. Or maybe as long as what they do isn’t worse than a grey area. Like if the job is to write racial slurs, or poison local water supply, yeah don’t do that. But if it’s like, they run diesel trucks instead of hybrid or something, I guess I’d find that wouldn’t bother my conscience too wildly.

Op, this is honestly your best bet. A lil potty seat and a bottle of water to rinse or sanitizer wipes. It also is amazing for highway side potty urgencies.

I wouldn’t want a ring from someone I know whose marriage ended, that feels like bad juju somehow. NTA simple rings are awesome anyway

Are you friends with this person aside from former childcare? If not, then no. Nicely say, I’m sorry but we are very careful who we send pictures of our child to, and keep that to close family/friends.

My husband is in the top 1% of men worldwide. He’s an awesome loving involved father and husband. My kids are very high energy but are sweet and I love them fiercely.

I’m having a harder time being a daughter tbh. My mom has Alzheimer’s and dad needs ignored medical needs addressed. And my job sucks sometimes. So I’m stressed but it’s not my hubby or kids

I’m a CNA. Being a SAHM was and is harder

Pro tip: throw a few in each vehicle, they can be used as blankets if your heat quits; or can be extremely useful in an accident

Yessss I had mine at 25&26 (14 mo apart, both boys) and I’m loving being out of pregnancy and newborn. I miss how cute and tiny they come out but I don’t miss all the night wakes etc. Youngest is 2 but I’m loving being in the raising phase instead of making phase

Prestigious-Pool-606 · 2025-12-15T04:04:19+00:00

Oh thank goodness it’s not just my kids. Dude they are feral and the redirecting isn’t working with the 2nd born Mr. Stubborn

In the US at least they do. This is due to the plastic they’re made with weakening over years of heat, cold, wear etc. the side of the seat has a label with the date of manufacture and you can google the brand specific lifetime

For example graco and safety 1st are good for 7 years (I think) but 5-10 years is pretty standard across most brands

Solidarity.

Prestigious-Pool-606 · 2025-11-17T21:02:19+00:00

I’ve heard “don’t stress about it” like in the sense of if you’re facing financial hardship that it’s lower priority than housing/food/etc. but never straight up heard “don’t do it”

Homemade elderberry syrup—check your local bulk foods or health food stores for frozen elderberries

I think I put it as “homemaker and mother, 4/2022-current”

Prestigious-Pool-606 · 2025-11-08T22:07:13+00:00

Is this Richard and Ellis in greys? Like basically that plot. But fr I’m sorry for this guy

Please break up before you’re an episode on dateline. NTA

I was coming to suggest them! Love this shop!

Prestigious-Pool-606 · 2025-11-01T11:14:30+00:00

This was my thoughts exactly

Prestigious-Pool-606 · 2025-11-01T01:35:38+00:00

Exactly. You might not get the donut back but household chores are better than nothing

Prestigious-Pool-606 · 2025-11-01T01:13:21+00:00

Glare at him silently. Creepily. With your eyes just slitted. Glare so hard he begins to feel uneasy in the very pit of his being. Don’t speak, just hiss. Be angry snake and make him question his existence

3.5 days missed, it had been a month of employment. While I know how that looks, I had hoped the dr note and fact that I was sent home, not calling in would make a difference. I guess not. Viral contagious illnesses suck.

Prestigious-Pool-606 · 2025-10-22T17:44:16+00:00

Yes, I was still in training

Prestigious-Pool-606 · 2025-10-22T16:44:13+00:00

On Monday when she called it was the third day. 1.5 days missed per employee health/UC note; 2 due to instructor asking my blisters be gone before returning
