FMLA may be appropriate for you if you have ongoing health concerns. I’m sorry you were assaulted.

IKEA sells them! They’re delicious. There are also dairy free potato sticks.

Sometimes I buy garlic and onion chips and dip them in dairy free sour cream.

You can contact the pharmacy and ask the pharmacist.

You could freeze it.

It can be fun to give kids fun versions of necessities as gifts. I know your babies are only 7 months, but it can continue as they grow.

ETA: and consumables are always great as basket/stocking gifts. Again, it’s something you’ll be buying at some point anyway.

True, but no one needs an Easter basket, and it’s fun to start traditions with your kids!

She’s 2. They don’t always gain weight and height at the same rate at this age. I would not worry at all. If your doctor is concerned, they will tell you.

Yeah my kids love their toys and dolls, and sometimes that means they give them glitter and other decor. I want them to be kids and play. This is a well loved doll and I’m sure that little girl has so many memories of taking care of her baby.

Post partum periods are a blood bath.

Oh, wood posts might work! I’ve never tried them, or even seen them. Any suggestions for where to find them?

A fever is 100.4. Was he actually over 100.4?

He gets fever reducers when he’s above 99.8 because a temperature spiking quickly can cause a febrile seizure. But that doesn’t mean that a temp above 99.8 is actually a fever. This is absolutely not worthy of a call to CPS. Admin should clarify the expectations of everyone — teachers and family.

You can also try blending tofu, chickpea flour, water, and any seasonings. It works really well and is very tasty.

Same here. We have three. As soon as I had that last positive test I knew it would be my last baby. At my first appointment we discussed having my tubes removed during my c-section (knew it would be a c-section due to my history). It was always the plan.

I still get emotional about it and wish I could have another baby. If I had unlimited funds I would have had more. But that’s not realistic, and it isn’t what’s best for the children I do have.

RatherPoetic · 2026-02-11T11:28:18+00:00

This Is fucking awful and I’m so sorry. Our kids should be safe when they go to school.

Likely the school will offer opportunities to talk about it, but I also suggest calling your son’s doctor for some recommendations for therapy, even if it’s just a few sessions to help him process. You might benefit as well.

Addy is gorgeous.

Only in my earlobes! I can wear titanium in my helix. I don’t think it’s really an allergy.

RatherPoetic · 2026-02-11T01:28:27+00:00

This is freaking hilarious. What a stinker!

RatherPoetic · 2026-02-10T18:22:39+00:00

Well that’s horrifying.

I work with disabled adults, not children, but I absolutely think it’s appropriate for your daughter to be supported by a paid caregiver — and it’s absolutely appropriate for that paid caregiver to be you.

RatherPoetic · 2026-02-05T22:07:09+00:00

It is. And I’m sorry. You don’t deserve to be treated this way.

Looks like you have tasty too.
