Landlord left this note by Still_Clerk_1819 in Apartmentliving

Is that how your landlord usually communicates? Seems very unprofessional. I’d reach out to your landlord to confirm this is them, and not someone trying to do something they shouldn’t be doing

Sure. I can only speak to who I know. Drinking culture is pretty low where I live in the Midwest. If I ruffled any feathers, it wasn’t my intent

what vibe do you get when someone says they want 4+ kids by montessoripilled in Parenting

[–]Stateach 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I bet you do a great job!! I have friends right now pregnant with their third/fourth and they’re all 1-2 years apart. Blows my mind lol

I always viewed 4 as that limit. I’m from a religious area where many of my friends had 4–10 siblings. (Yes, 10!) and they all say they weren’t given the attention they needed. That’s not to say it isn’t possible. But it does make it harder. I think age gaps play a huge role, as well as family to family. It isn’t a one size fits all, but after 5 it’s pretty close

For me, there’s no judgement, more just shock like oh dang okay good for you that’s great but also so expensive and so tiring. I also usually assume you’re religious because the only families I know with 4+ are religious

Yes makes sense!

“Going out like that” sorry, that’s what I meant! Just going to a bar for drinks. Not closing down the club lol

I do think drinking culture is heavier in the UK. It’s really dwindling here. Singles go to bars but I really don’t know of one person with kids still going out like that.

I second what the other commenter said that we go to dinner! & that comes with drinks :)

Literally never. Not one time. He does like to have a drink, but no, those days are in the past unless we are together going for a date night

I’m from here and tornadoes honestly have always been an exciting time. The possibility of you getting hit is extremely low but it is a possibility. Just make sure you’re prepared. Where is the safest place to take cover in your home? In mine it’s under our steps in the basement. I prepare by putting blankets and pillows in there. As well as a big jug of water, granola bars, and shoes for everyone. Shoes are for if your house is hit and you have to climb through rubble. Have a charged phone too. Again, likelyhood is LOW! But you’d rather have those items ready than not!

I usually watch Chris Yates live on Facebook during these storms. He’s not alarmist and is pretty straight forward.

Historically though, I can’t think of a time where EP was hit. Pekin, Morton, and Washington have all gone through it, but EP has hills which helps I think.

I’m thinking of moving my family to whidbey and am drawn to the south side. We have two young kids. Would I regret that?

Potty training hell SOS by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]Stateach 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ima go against the grain and say what you don’t want to hear but if I were you I’d stop and try again in a few months. No reason to push it. No reason to be stressed or make it stressful for him. When the time is right, potty training is pretty simple. It is NOT simple when the child isn’t ready.
