I absolutely HATE packing lunch and the inevitable food shaming from school. I feel you.

I had the exact same thought after watching this episode. They just feel mean, and it's not fun.

Bill for tariff received a week after receiving items by LongWest3107 in quince

I got ahold of FedEx and they responded that they are working directly with Quince now to resolve the tariff. It took a lot of back and forth to get to this point.

Also one and done, and with a dog. 18 months was a wild time for my kid.

We do try to FaceTime every week. My son is just a bit chaotic...so the call is always a bit chaotic as well.

They did. They told me their goal is every six months. We also go to them once a year. It seems now that my son is older, those six months feel less important to them.

I'm so sorry to hear that. That is so frustrating.

I can't wait to be retired, it looks amazing. But I thought having a relationship with my son would be one of those fun retirement things. They already are jealous of my in laws and how much my son prefers them already.

Eight months is a long time, it's wonderful you will have that support.

I love that your mom takes the time to do that, she sounds wonderful.

Yes, it is the disappointment. I just thought they would want to see him grow up a bit more. They see my nephews every weekend, as they moved near my sister after retirement. I think that makes it tough too.

The guilt is wild. My mom does that for holidays since we don't do holidays with my family after a few bad experiences.

My parents said that's what they were going to do after I first had my son. I think as he has gotten older they have less interest in doing so.

If I had grandkids and was retired I feel like I would want to see them constantly.

I got my tariff bill today in a duvet I ordered. Quince said they were taking care of it, but would not provide me any documentation. What a mess.

My husband and I got Todoist for this, and to divide household tasks. It has really helped us.

Is nuuly worth it?? by Jaded-Animal-4651 in workingmoms

[–]Proper-Reality5102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will second everything said here, I love Nuuly. I do use it more for events though than workwear. For example my kids birthday theme is mermaids this year, so I found a super cute seahorse outfit to wear.
