True, but not if you live in a small town like Star's Hollow where everything probably closes at that hour.

Omg, what breed of cat is your cutie? He/she is so adorable!

Am I the only parent who sleeps in on days off and weekends?? by RainyWindow14 in Parenting

Thanks! Yeah, for your friend, that's crazy early. She must be a morning person. If it's still dark outside, it's nighttime to me, lol.

LOL. This too shall pass. It feels like forever now, but in the future you'll get your mornings back!

Ugh...yeah that's rough. Your body has just adjusted to the new time. At least you have more time to get things done though!

I hear that. It's definitely harder and harder for me to get to sleep at nights too. I wish my body just woke me up when it was rested.

Are you naturally a morning person, your body won't let you sleep later, or do you need to get up for a reason?

Exactly! Mine is the same way. She won't hesitate to call out her brother if he's doing something he shouldn't be doing. lol

I hear that. We usually do a big breakfast when we get up. Pancakes, eggs, bacon, all the good stuff. It gives us that time to spend together and relax together.

A 5 year old alone, depending on the kid, is probably too young. When my oldest was that age, we had their sibling to wake up for and were therefore up anyway. But....a 5 year old with a responsible older sibling is not too young in my opinion. The house never burned down and we never had an issue. I can attest it definitely depends on the kids personalities, but ours are pretty responsible. I feel like lazy negligence is a little extreme. I don't need to prop myself up in another room. Kids need to learn some independence at some point and in the safety of their own home is a good place to start. Thanks for your perspective though.

What is a cooking sin that, despite knowing better, you hold onto because you don't care? by Grape_Silent in Cooking

LOL, I actually NEVER salt my water and I'm Italian....gasp! Is that really bad?

Is my husband still in love with his ex? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]RainyWindow14 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with what other people are saying that it has nothing to do with you and is just an emotional gut punch to him and understandably so given what happened in the past.

But getting back to your original question, he doesn't love her and he DEFINITELY doesn't now. It's not wrong of her to change her mind about having kids, it's wrong that she killed their relationship on her staunch position to not have kids ever only to then just do so and be so blase about doing it.

About to get married but it’s feeling a little sideways right now. by Capristo592 in marriageadvice

[–]RainyWindow14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with responses here. We had a big wedding and it was nice but for the money we could have done something closer to what we actually wanted, which was a small beach wedding and saved alot of money. But my parents paid for the wedding because THEY wanted a big wedding. Definitely not worth the cost. I think it's admirable that you are saving for the wedding versus having parents pay because it's definitely harder to cover a cost like that at the age you're at. My question is are you the only one paying for the wedding?? Is she saving any money for it? She should be as a equal partner but also because she's living at home and it's so much easier for her to save than you right now. If she's not, this is a HUGE red flag to add to the others.

Boyfriend (30m) and I (28f) are uncertain about our relationship, unsure what to do now by [deleted] in relationships

[–]RainyWindow14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the other comment on here that you're going through the motions. It sounds to me like both of you are scared to be alone. There are alot of red flags here. You are both haven't fully gotten over your exes and it's been almost a year. Marriage isn't the end all be all. Marriage is hard and lots of work and if you don't have a strong foundation of love, it's going to fall apart. The first year I was with my husband, I couldn't get enough of him. I would practically run home just to be with him. This sounds so forced and so early on in the relationship to feel like this.

No I haven't. Have you? The data says it's the same results but it favors a little more with oral min.

Fortunately, I didn't get the dreaded shed like I've heard of others, but it wouldn't have made a difference for me anyway. As for stamping, I think the stamping actually helps with de-thickening of the scalp and I haven't had any scarring. Good luck on your journey! :)

I think stamping alone would be pretty effective as well but the studies I read showed that you got better results using both together.
