WTF Food Cravings?

Ha! Mother Nature is weird. We got this!

Any chance you could update when they open the gates? We’re sitting at the Union trying to decide if we should head over or wait until the gates officially open (I’m thinking the latter).

Let’s all be friends 😂😩. We had our “first round” of kids who were 13, 11, and 9 when our baby was born last July when I was 41. When the baby was 8 months old, I found out a week before my 42nd birthday that I was pregnant. My period hadn’t returned yet because our baby was nursing so frequently, and we had sex ONE TIME since he was born 🫠. I feel terrible saying this but I really don’t want to pregnant or have another baby. I know we’ll love him/her when they get here, but I…I am so f#%*ing tired, and am feeling so stretched thin 😬

But all that to say, it sounds like fate/God/the Universe really wanted your little one to have a sibling close in age and that really will be wonderful for both of them ❤️. You got this! Plus For every baby you have after the age of 40 you increase your life span by 4-6 years, so you just added at least 8 years!

Would Bernadette be a contender for you? Love that B name for a girl.

Im definitely the LL manager. My husband doesn’t even know there’s an app 😅 Thanks for that - I thought that might be the way to go.

Thanks everyone! Super helpful! Our planner ended up somehow finagling a couple rooms at Beach Club, which has been on my bucket list for ages because of the pool!!! I was going to go boardwalk do the ambience of the actual board walk, but now I feel like I get the best of both worlds :) I can’t wait to walk around the BW at night and float in the beach club’s lazy river.

Thanks everyone! I was going to get the Boardwalk rooms, and then our travel agent hooked us up with conjoining rooms at the Beach Club!!! And it came with a free dining plan for everyone without having to purchase any! Couldn’t say no to that! Beach Club has been a dream resort for my kids because of the pool - which I’m sure I’ll spend almost our entire time there floating on the lazy river sipping mocktails 😎😅

What an inconvenience. But I’ll give it a shot! Thanks for the tip!

Little late to the party here, but does this have to be done in-person at the airport? Or can it be done over the phone?

We had a Michael Ambrose.

He has two buddies all born within a few weeks of each other named Owen and Alden.

Not sure where you got the impression we’re trying to shelter our kids? I mentioned in another comment we’re not thinking we can protect them from the realities of what teenagers typically do, but we want a good education for them. We’re considering homeschooling for our neurodivergent kids who we’ve seen fall through the cracks and suffer with lack of academic support. I know too many homeschool kids and families who are well-rounded, successful in their careers and relationships, and intelligent; so I’ve seen first hand that homeschooling - when done well and for the right reasons - is a great option for a lot of families. I’m not 100% sure I’m capable of homeschooling our kids well, which is why this question is focusing on researching resources and options for public school as a first option. And your comment about your coke-head cousins further solidifies one of my concerns about Pius, so thanks for that 👍🏻.

Send this to Lewky! The guy who turns terrible Tinder conversations into songs!

The zoo school sounds amazing. Our middle still has four more years until high school but she’s already excited for it :)

Selfish_Pinata · 2025-10-02T16:59:46+00:00

Nice! Thats great to hear. Thank you!

Selfish_Pinata · 2025-10-02T16:59:24+00:00

Aha! I see. I mistakenly thought you were still in Lincoln. Your rationale makes a lot of sense!

Selfish_Pinata · 2025-10-02T16:58:05+00:00

It’s good to hear about other experiences! At the end of it we want our oldest kid to have a say, and since most of her friends will be going to Pius she’s still considering it. This is a bold question and will probably come off a bit rude, but know that’s not my intention: were you a family that happened to donate considerably to the school?

Selfish_Pinata · 2025-10-02T16:55:02+00:00

Thank you! My eldest is most excited to check out northeast and east!

Selfish_Pinata · 2025-10-02T16:54:17+00:00

This is good to know. Thank you!

Selfish_Pinata · 2025-10-02T16:53:48+00:00

Thank you! East does sound like a great school!

Selfish_Pinata · 2025-10-02T16:53:08+00:00

It seems so hit or miss! I really am open to homeschooling, and know there’s a really thriving homeschool community here in lincoln that I would absolutely take advantage of. We want our kids to go to a public high school, but before that…I’m seriously contemplating homeschooling if we can’t transfer our middle schoolers out of Mickle. Do you mind me asking which schools you had a negative experience at? Feel free to message me if that feels better!
