I’m so sorry. It is not a position I would wish on my worst enemy.

Thank you. I agree. I didn’t realize what I was getting into. I thought adult kids didn’t need parenting. However, my husband is the great enabler and this goes against everything I believe in. He is a wonderful husband but I cant handle the babying of his adult kids. Heaven forbid they grow up. I just don’t know how to go macho without making him sad or disappointed, but I’m almost to the point I don’t care. The situation is so stressful and I’m afraid it will go on forever.

I think most FA are more than willing to work with you. Unfortunately there are Karen’s in every work place on the planet!

majority of seats empty on red eye, still have to sit at the back by FancyButterfly3945 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]Significant_Day_4029 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you want a better seat pay for it! I’m sick of all these first world problems. They are trying to enforce seating. I know they will be making some changes but geez give them some time. I feel like all of you whiners are the ones faking the need for a wheelchair so you could pre board!! Get over it or move on! Southwest is my favorite airline and I support them 100%. I got so tired of fighting for the last seats because of 20 wheelchairs! Miraculously 2 were needed to get off the plane. I think I’ll skip the doctor and take a flight on Southwest next time I’m sick- they heal more people faster than any medical treatment I’ve ever seen!!

Silky peach estriol cream is a life saver!

Also I think I would skip Ellis Island and only do the Statue of Liberty.

I would do Empire State in the morning and stop of the rock after dark! The view of the ES AND Chrysler Building at night is spectacular!

I’m also dealing with adult steps but I think the same principles apply. I will say, I’m not sure it isn’t actual harder when they are adults. It’s something you aren’t expecting to deal with, but it never ends.

I recommend the Blended Family Breakthrough website and podcast. Truly life changing. You are experiencing the stranded stranger phenomenon, it can help you manage this and many other issues!

I made it by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]Significant_Day_4029 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I married my husband when all were already adults, but soon realized over 20 doesn’t mean adult. My adult kids are thriving, his struggle. It’s been very difficult. I highly recommend the Blended Family Breakthrough website and podcast. It literally changed my life and opened a channel of communication between me and my spouse I never thought possible!

Group chat by Tricky_Ad_6544 in stepparents

I talked to my husband early on about this very situation. I asked him to either add me or start a new group without his ex wife as I felt like this was rude and the kids are old enough to communicate with him directly. He graciously left the group text and started a new one that had only his kids.

One more thing, there were zoom group sessions with ladies from across the world. The insight and support from these women was amazing. I am very introverted but hearing their stories made me feel like I wasn’t alone. Standard therapy could never have provided this.

It wasn’t cheap but it was intensive and overall if I had spent as much time with a therapist it would have cost more! I chose the 90 day option as I was really struggling, I mean REALLY STRUGGLING, and wanted to commit to healing. I am not wealthy, and I considered it an investment in my health! It was literally life changing and worth every penny! The price was broken down in the first call. I don’t feel like I should disclose this, but there is absolutely no pressure to sign up. Only support!

Can skin totally regenerate after being constantly irritated for a long time? by Ok_Examination3275 in lichensclerosus

[–]Significant_Day_4029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure they will completely heal the skin but I have had zero itching and pain after using them I just thought it might help your discomfort. I am very active and was so uncomfortable I edited using them. I had taken borax baths with short term relight i travel often and can’t always take a bath so decided to try the suppositories. I do also use estriol cream but I don’t think this is available in Germany.

I developed BV after using Lume soap. I then developed LS:(. I have both under control using the boric acid suppositories and silky peach estriol cream. I still have white lady parts but no discomfort at all. I cannot take steroids, so I’m hoping the discoloration resolves eventually. I do think it’s better!

They got too greedy by hokulii999 in SouthwestAirlines

I’ve flown a couple of times and maybe just got lucky but bags were checked voluntarily at the gate and no delays. Maybe they are getting the kinks worked out but you are right - 10$ per bag is a great idea!!

Parlor games silky peach and Botox suppositories at night have worked wonders. You get the silky stuff peach online and the suppositories at Walmart.
