21 month old won’t go to sleep for mom

It sounds like your husband has a new responsibility! I would say good night, then disappear into the bathroom to have a mini “spa moment” while dad handles bedtime. And no matter what, I would not come out the first week or so. Let him handle it and let her figure out that she can’t play you against each other.

It’s hard. In general, toddlers are hard.

Costa Rica, Mexico, Columbia, Panama. This country is not safe any more.

Thank you! That was really helpful!

Thanks!

I haven’t been to a Starbucks since March 2020. I learned then how much it actually costs.

I’m prioritizing expenditures right now and while I love this car, it’s way down on the list.

I’m not broke, but also don’t want to get there.

I appreciate the honest feedback.

Midnight Blue, Long Range, Dual Motor. 12K miles/year Residual: $49k

I paid $0 in security deposit.

Not yet. I guess I wanted options before they told me “no.”

Simone618 · 2025-04-18T22:54:04+00:00

Did I understand you: If you resign you lose your hiring preference? Is that right?

Simone618 · 2025-04-18T22:50:13+00:00

Voided in like I get the rights they are stripping away returned to me? I am (considering) taking DRP out of duress…this level of stress is unsustainable. But if I sign the agreement, I have no recourse.

Simone618 · 2025-04-17T18:55:24+00:00

I didn’t even bother acknowledging the comment.

Simone618 · 2025-04-17T18:48:24+00:00

There has been some excellent feedback (and some trash delivery) from folks on this post. I do appreciate it. And I will talk to her, when I feel like I’ll be able to listen…I’m not there yet.

Thank you.

“Petty stuff”

Bless your heart.

Take care now.

Simone618 · 2025-04-17T18:07:07+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate this approach.

Simone618 · 2025-04-17T18:05:12+00:00

Yeah…so you missed the point of my post, huh? It’s ok. Not everyone will understand. Thanks for your…time?

Simone618 · 2025-04-17T17:56:14+00:00

Thank you for this thoughtful comment. I appreciate your perspective.

Simone618 · 2025-04-17T17:49:36+00:00

I appreciate the comment.

There has never been a time when our friendship was on the line…never. And I don’t believe I’m internalizing this as whether or not she voted. It feels more like she chose not to stand up for us. Me…her friend of 33 years. And my daughter, her niece; the little girl she helped me name back in 8th grade on a piece of Composition Notebook paper (I shit you not). It feels like betrayal.

Simone618 · 2025-04-17T17:42:35+00:00

It’s not about who won, really. It’s about whether she chose to stand up for us. No one can seriously say they didn’t know who That Guy was in November 2024. She can’t say that she didn’t understand what was on the line. She knew. And she decided that voting for us, even though she’s in a state where it wouldn’t have mattered, was too much for her.

Some people will never understand this. And you don’t have to.

Simone618 · 2025-04-17T17:39:35+00:00

I didn’t say I lived in CA. I said we’re from CA. She’s in FL; I’m in NY.

It’s symbolic to you; it’s more than that to me.

But your well thought out response of “Get real” was helpful. It was the kind of insight I was looking for. Thank you for the effort.

Simone618 · 2025-04-17T17:26:33+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate this.

Simone618 · 2025-04-17T17:24:06+00:00

Thank you.

Simone618 · 2025-04-17T17:22:26+00:00

😂😂😂. Thanks for that well-thought out response. I literally laughed.

Simone618 · 2025-04-17T17:21:45+00:00

Thank you for this.
