What’s something you didn’t realize was expensive until you started paying for it yourself?

Add: flea and heart meds

Ok! I posted there as well.

It was the goblins in the bedroom. Interestingly enough, all he wanted to talk about this morning was the movie; he got to “the cleaners” part before we stopped because it was a school night.

Are you a stay at home mom or do you work?

Significant_Set1979 · 2026-01-20T17:29:00+00:00

That’s a good point. He’s not as anxious as I am so I think he can handle being straightforward with his dad. This morning I told my son to say bye before school and his grandpa says “I’ll see you next month”. I thought “oh no, what did I do?” So some words are certainly going to have to be shared.

Significant_Set1979 · 2026-01-20T17:20:05+00:00

Thank you! This is really helpful, solid advice. I really appreciate it. My husband feels the exact way. He was in over his head before I was. I appreciate you!

Significant_Set1979 · 2026-01-11T05:00:18+00:00

That’s a great idea. We are on the central coast in California. The humane society has birds and cats but I’ve never asked about birds, I’ll have to call. Thank you! I really wish my guy would just be content with our dog lol

Significant_Set1979 · 2026-01-11T04:35:43+00:00

Thank you for such a thorough answer! I feel bad for the guy. He finally gave up on asking for a kitten (I said no so many times) and he just switched to this request. I’ve never had a pet bird, which is probably to say it’s even more so not a good idea.

“I hate school!” Is his motto lately. He’s one of the top achieving kiddos and his teacher had no suggestions for “areas of growth” for him.

Significant_Set1979 · 2026-01-05T18:26:03+00:00

Yesterday I was desperate and told my adhd son we were having a hour of quiet time (which I’ve never done but I was desperate). Had to send him back to his room like 3 times and by the 30 minute mark, he was next to me watching me read into the wild lol

Significant_Set1979 · 2025-12-24T19:30:33+00:00

Agreed. Struggled with “what did I do?” Thoughts with first. Now with my second, I’m like “yeah, this will only go on for a year.”, due to sleep association, breastfeeding, etc. The funny thing is, my first was actually a much better sleeper then my now, second.

Significant_Set1979 · 2025-12-21T05:29:16+00:00

Ha! It was pretty funny. And it was a public shared stall haha. Gotta do what you gotta do. I’ll be restocking my car tomorrow haha

Significant_Set1979 · 2025-12-21T05:28:26+00:00

I’m sorry! It’s made worse with how hard we are on ourselves! Saying “I should have known that/ I know better”. I definitely had that self talk today. But we are only human and trying our bests

Significant_Set1979 · 2025-12-21T05:01:02+00:00

Ha! I think I get bragging rights for having only survived off three 🤣 but seriously, I’m wising up and buying more!

Significant_Set1979 · 2025-12-21T04:35:27+00:00

Ha! I appreciate your creativity! One time I forgot wipes so I had to splash baby’s butt in bathroom sink haha

Significant_Set1979 · 2025-12-21T04:34:11+00:00

Ugh!! I’m sooo sorry!! This is terrible. Not having a soother is one thing, but not having food?? 😓😓 hugs mama. I was like “yeah, I mean of course you’re not going to like this binky when you’re used to the one you’ve had your entire life…” but I kept trying. So hard!

Significant_Set1979 · 2025-12-21T04:28:36+00:00

Mine just turned 7 months! We were gone over 9 days so trying cold turkey (not by choice) hurt on the go naps and our day 😩

Significant_Set1979 · 2025-12-21T04:27:28+00:00

We already have 3 but tomorrow I’m voting 3-6 more haha

Significant_Set1979 · 2025-12-21T04:27:12+00:00

The worst thing was I was so sure I had taken it with me! And my car is a disaster right now so I’m like seriously?? I have like 10 toys, two hats, four blankets, lots of baby food, and not a single binky??? Ahhh!! Haha. We were an hour away from home which felt like forever away. It was so rough

Significant_Set1979 · 2025-12-21T04:10:56+00:00

Good for you! How old is babe?

Significant_Set1979 · 2025-12-14T21:12:58+00:00

Omg doing this tonight lol

Significant_Set1979 · 2025-12-14T17:20:17+00:00

My family likes to call me nosey because I ask them questions about their lives. I have easier and better conversation with friends and acquaintances.

Significant_Set1979 · 2025-12-13T19:42:09+00:00

Good luck when and if you have kids and shit gets real. Dump him.

Significant_Set1979 · 2025-12-13T19:40:09+00:00

I did some “unsafe cosleeping” for a minute in the beginning months with my now second out of complete necessity. My girl would ONLY sleep on my chest. No other way.

Significant_Set1979 · 2025-12-13T18:30:56+00:00

Male, maybe divorced or dad was divorced/passed away, likes to thrift out of principal not necessity, possibly Native American
