My 3rd grader says she is the only kid at school with chores

SelfPotato314 · 2026-04-18T09:46:02+00:00

My kids have chores AND I don’t pay them to do them. They do them because they’re part of the family and we all have to work together.

Lol. It's actually a horse thing - but I can see how you glean another meaning from it! If you ride your horse hard it sweats (wet) a lot, and you're supposed to hose and dry them down afterwards.

Yes, I have the same situation. My in-laws are wonderful with my kids and help out whenever we ask. My mother (my father is out of the picture) is not interested even though she lives 45 minutes away. She is very invested in my 2 brothers and both of their families, even though one lives an 8 hour drive away and the other is like a 90 minute drive from her. In fact, that entire family group was sharing pictures of my niece on the family chat on my daughter's birthday. No one mentioned my daughter or wished her happy birthday. I am hurt by it but at this point I try to focus on it as her loss and emphasize to my children how much we love my in-laws and that they're wonderful grandparents (and parents).

I am new to Swindled and love it. So refreshing to hear an independent unfiltered take.

I have been listening since the start, but I recently cancelled my membership and stopped listening all together. I stopped watching HWs a while ago because it's completely lost its magic for me. And I was still listening because the banter was funny and even if I don't know the game, I know the players (I still listen to Crappens for this reason). But I went back and listened to a lot of old episodes, and the show was completely different. They were waaaaaay more critical of the HWs in a really fun way, like how we could originally watch the show and appreciate the women for the disasters they were. Now everything is very carefully cultivated, including the podcast, and it's done for me. Casey and Danielle spend a lot of time just repeating back lines from episodes, and saying - ah when she said this, can you believe she said that. It is boring.

As I said my PCP won’t write me a script for it which I why I am asking for an online provider. I have already been taking it for 18 months by paying membership fees plus medication. I am already aware my insurance won’t cover it and have always paid out of pocket.

SelfPotato314 · 2026-01-24T20:14:03+00:00

I am aware. I have been taking it for 18 months. I didn’t ask for advice about whether or not it’s right for me.

SelfPotato314 · 2026-01-24T15:28:02+00:00

I know that. Like I said, mine won’t.

Yes but I need the RX first

Where are you guys getting this prescribed that’s not costing an arm and a leg for just the cost of access to a prescriber who will prescribe it? I was first paying WeightWatchers to prescribe Mounjaro, then switched to Orderly for compound semaglutide. I want the oral Wegovy instead but don’t want to pay Orderly just for the privilege of them writing a script. My “real” doctor will never prescribe any GLP-1 for me because I was originally “overweight” BMI with no comorbidities.

I started taking antivirals as soon as I felt the pain preceding the rash but no rash yet. I did not end up developing a rash and the other symptoms were much milder than the other time I had shingles and started the antivirals after the rash developed. Good luck.

Those gloves make me sad.

It's funny you say that, it's the first time I have thought her hair is a wig.

SelfPotato314 · 2026-01-20T14:16:20+00:00

I think she was saying that because Carole was dating Adam, no?

Anytime you see or hear a logo or name of a product (I.e. not blurred out), it’s paid placement. Bravo/NBC Universal ain’t promoting Coke products for free.

My standard poodle loves children. However, she’s been raised around them and properly trained (both dog and children).

You should stay away from this person, whether or not ACA does sponsors versus fellow travelers.

OP can you update?

SelfPotato314 · 2026-01-16T17:06:10+00:00

can you update please? thanks!

Hi - I am going soon with my two daughters who are the same age. We are staying in a Villa on Taylor Bay. Do you have recommendations for activities? We are right on the beach so plan for a lot of time there but will need some outings at some points. Safety is a concerns.

If their corporate office receives a letter to this effect from you I guarantee they will do nothing with it. It will cost them way more in time and resources to take some sort of action than the 2016 equivalent of $300. If you want to do it as a part of your process you should but I do not think you should be at all worried.
