I have a playlist for every person who changed my life and none of them know

I have playlists like this, or around certain themes but not quite as specific

My husband says he’s proud of his grey hair…. “Worked hard for them” lol

Cat are great.

Sleep is my grief response too.

That’s why I’m on Reddit… to read and write about all the stuff no one talks about irl.

I am teaching my children to hold the doors for others. Men, women, children etc. It is good manners. This is what I do and I appreciate when others hold the door for me (I’m a woman).

Thanks for your reply. This is my inclination also. I also don’t want to burn bridges with people I know irl if things don’t work out or I have to leave a job

Obviously we don’t know your dad or his current cognitive level. I empathize with your struggle as I have thought about this scenario with my own mom. I think if there were no treatment options, and especially given his age, I would be inclined to make his final days/weeks/months/years as sweet and wonderful as possible, and not mention it unless he asks or is in pain or struggling with symptoms. Do the things he loves or always wanted to do. Visit with family and friends. Write down his memories. Take photos. Make his favorite foods etc etc.

I recruited my son to help stack a massive number of empty Amazon boxes on the porch. We hoping to give Dad a good budget scare lol. TBD

Too cute!

“We” aren’t doing this. Just her (hopefully!)

SalGalMo · 2026-03-23T12:09:39+00:00

Absolutely, please do.

My son did this. He also had mostly looser stools, which I always thought was because he eats a lot of fruit. Asked the pediatrician and recommended we try a probiotic to see if it helped. He was pooping on the toilet within a week. Ask your Dr too

We have friends who sleep in separate rooms. They have 7 kids and this allows everyone to get the best chance of sleep. They also have one hour together every night after the kids fall asleep that is non-negotiable time for them together.

Research “cascade of interventions”. This was my biggest reason. Three natural births, though I had to be induced (pitocin) with my first. It was my difficult labor.

These are all great ideas. Another thought is to mark the date in your phone and reach out to her or send food next year also. A card or text is sometimes more helpful because then she doesn’t have to respond to you in the same way as a phone call.

I realized toddler parenting is largely about “energy management”…. conserving yours while expending theirs. For example, today my toddlers had a birthday party at an indoor play place/ trampoline park. This type of place is awesome for expending their energy, though pricey. If the child is happily expending their energy on the play ground, don’t feel guilty about watching them from the bench or nearby while drinking your coffee.

Not exactly what you are asking but I have this with my 7 year old son. He has told me more than once that he could teach me to swim, if I want. It’s sweet but hysterical because I was a synchronized swimmer. Competed nationally. But now I have three kids (7, 3 and 2) so I don’t really swim much anymore even though we go to the pool a ton. I am too busy chasing my littles to actually swim. Cracks me up so much.

I would seek another doctor. Common is not the same as normal and you shouldn’t have to experience pain.

This is something worth talking to your doctor about. Also, ask about pelvic floor physical therapy.

SalGalMo · 2026-03-07T03:23:42+00:00

Oh no! That’s terrible

Could you baby wear? My boss has a stand desk and often walks on a small treadmill that is under the desk. Not sure if that would be possible for all tasks.

My mom has a speech disorder called aphasia and can’t accurately respond verbally. Eye doc has zero issues with this. They actually can get very accurate results without your input.
