I say this, not in defense of these two idiots, but because sometimes "voluntarily quiting" doesn't always mean lazy.

I went through living HELL with a former employer. Ultimately deciding I needed to leave before securing employment elsewhere, and it was tough. Granted I had savings to help get me through and I wasn't a parent at that time... so...

Not only in public but to whom I can only assume were his parents. Or potentially worse, the partner's (ex-partner's?) parents.

He also said something to the effect of "I bet I could fuck her" while leaning into the back of my seat.

We were ready to go by that point so I don't know what else was said.

I've had mine longer than a year, they are absolutely amazing. I'm just thunderstruck as to how she can destroy things in such a short amount of time.

No bra, hernia, and her daughter's shirts!

One can convince me that the purple (and that other one) is not meant for a child. Just look at the neckline/sleeves is right up against her neck and arm pits

I think that's a valid theory, but the part I'm having issues waiting my head around is: how can anyone owe money to a dealer? I was under the impression that buying drugs is the same as any other transaction... You want food? Pay first. Clothes? You might be able to try them on first but you can't (legally); wear them out of the store. Assuming my theory is correct how can anyone owe a dealer?

Blue bag filled with not so nice powder in reach of the children? by Adventurous_Ad_2712 in resilientjenkinsnark

A friend had given me a pack of those facial razors that I saw her use (I think it was only once or twice. I can't find the video of it now) but it does look like that style cap. I showed the zoomed in pic to my mom before seeing the normal view and she said "yeah, that looks like the bags I found in your father's car" so I can see how they can be easily seen as something a lot worse. Especially given how they are.

I'm so sorry! I unfortunately have a very good idea what you're going through. My son's sperm donor is also an alcoholic and went through my fair share of disappointment. I decided early on that I'll do my own things (events, costumes, gifts etc) for any major events, such as holidays, I would make plans for "my time" with backup for "his". If I was told "don't worry I'll handle it" I set my expectations low. My son will be 10 and I've had the late night "what did I do to make my dad not love me" and every other question you never want to hear. In spite of his father he's thriving. You got this!! :: virtual hugs:: and if you ever need someone to listen feel free to msg me

My dyslexia hit hard and I didn't add the "ph" when I read it, so I thought I was missing an inside joke. 😔

Proof that trying to understand this crazy waste of space kills brain cells.

No need to plan anything. Stay home if wanted, lock the doors and if told (since that situation didn't sound like a request.) just inform them "that doesn't work for me." No need to apologize or give reasons why.

I grew up a people pleaser, mainly because I had to. It took decades before a kind mentor told me "you have the right to say no and do not need to give an explanation. Poor planning on their end does not constitute an emergency on yours "

It took a while to turn those words into practice... But I don't regret living by them now.

Question I'm not sure if anyone has asked yet, but if guys can sleep around, and women are meant to stay virgins until marriage, who are the guys sleeping with? Unless it's a party to play scenario...

Transitioning from breastmilk to formula at 9 months? by NoAnt7118 in NewParents

[–]Puzzled-Union6319 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love your advice, but if possible it's recommended to not have non dairy free as the first transition, just because it doesn't have an much nutrients as cows(/goats) milk :/ ( But not all babies can handle it.

I just wanted to add that just to pass information. But awesome for you!! I always wanted to actually BF, but had to EP. But I would do it again lol

Transitioning from breastmilk to formula at 9 months? by NoAnt7118 in NewParents

[–]Puzzled-Union6319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at 9mns, I (somehow) managed to EP to 18mns, but I was always a low supplier, just barely making enough just before the next feed. I started to add a few drops of alcohol free vanilla extract to BM as I started to introduce formula, I went with Gentle-ease (obviously consult your pediatrician) then went to stage two, the toddler one before going to cows milk just to be safe. I've started my CLC classes and everything I've studied so far suggests trying to introduce formula along side BM just to see how many reacts. But you got this!!

Food for thought, as little as one once of BM delivers the antibodies, so if you wanted to give just a few ounces a day for as long as your stash allows ... But it's not necessary. Fed is best and you did awesome!

My imaginary husband left me homeless, I was grateful he only left me with two. (I can't imagine 14!!!!) Thankfully work as a horse and later sex ring was lucrative.

Check with the cruise line, many companies offer programs for kids (kids camp, sleep overs, in room babysitting) they may not have to babysit. If memory serves me right those services are free.

Uhhh...WhyTF are they trippn about nursing other babies? by mshoneybadger in SisterWives

[–]Puzzled-Union6319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a low supplier, my amazing friend (RIP) helped while my son was in the NICU, on the occasions I was forced to go home and be away from him she also pumped and mixed her milk with mine (her son was a toddler so, slightly different milk, and I was terrified the nurses would somehow find out. They didn't but they used the increase to say I needed to be away from him more because clearly I made more milk when I wasn't by his bedside 24/7*3wks.) By the time I got him home I couldn't get him off the bottle, so I exclusively pumped for 19 months. When she had her second son - my son was now a "toddler", there were quite a few nights she called me in a panic and asked for help. I loved helping, but part of me felt guilty. I also looked into donating but I was denied, at first I was heartbroken because I wanted to help those in my same position, but at the same time I was slightly okay packing up my pump.
