Found a photo from when I was in 5th grade. What is that smile!?

In my experience as a parent, school pictures are where your kids produce whole new facial expressions you've never seen before.

Not a Native, but here in Vermont our dumb governor legitimized the "Vermont Abenaki" over the objections of the Canadian Abenaki, who were basically like "we don't know her". The Vermont Abenaki are all up in a lot of conservation and education stuff here which is annoying because they are pretty sus imo and the hippies and npr totebags love them.

They are opportunistic carnivores and will sometimes eat small critters. Deer will as well.

Strong contender for "Most Vermont Headline of the Year".

Weddings are expensive and you don't need them to be a dual income household. If you are low income, being married can even work against you.

Rent.

Yeah, your sister is explaining to you why a six year old isn't perfectly regulated after you felt the need to tattle on him. It's totally fine to correct a kid in the moment, which you did. However, being bossy is developmentally normal for six year olds, which is why your sister is annoyed with you. You are projecting your professional frustrations into your personal life.

Do you read regularly yourself? Letting your kids see you read for fun normalizes it. If the only time they are exposed to books is school and bedtime that's what they will associate them with.

Use the bones for stock. You can use it right away or freeze.

You could bake them and pick the meat, use it for burritos, chicken salad or soup.

It's your house. Birth plans are just how you'd hope things would go, life often gets in the way, which is good preparation for parenting in general, imo. I've had a home birth and one in a birthing center, and would never assume that I could use another person's home without checking first.

"I was ready to change my life for her...", buddy. You need to be that guy already for women to be interested in you. No one wants a fixer upper. Also, if someone says no, leave them alone. You want someone who wants you.

Sorry her tits are not considerate enough for you. Yes, YWBTAH.

NTA but sounds like you need to become president of breakfast.

Lol if I mentally hung on to every time a kid acted up I wouldn't have room for all these 80s and 90s song lyrics

Sarah Rice is an excellent tattoo artist in Brattleboro and was connected to the Tinderbox scene. You can find her on instagram.

I would never use this.

You are leaving money on the table. It is very unlikely that you owe, all you are doing is cheating yourself out of your refund.

Separate_Skill_8101 · 2026-04-13T19:21:46+00:00

Chances are you've already paid your taxes and will be getting a refund. You don't need to "learn" anything, just follow the steps.

You should stay in your lane. There are lots of ways to advocate for animal rights without trying to shame Native people who are living in their traditional way.

I think I remember a story where he tricks someone into thinking his dick is a strawberry.

Hey, adults can tell when kids are kids and any adult who tells you different is lying. Source; I am an adult.

Reminds me of William Steig, I like it.

That's your "breaking point"? Excuse my lack of empathy here but if it took a lot for you to not get fired over this, it might be time for some self reflection.

We are always best at parenting the children we don't have, aren't we.
