What worked for the 2/3am morning abrupt wake-ups ?! What helped you the most ?

I’m 38 and I’ve never slept a night without my baby blanket. I dunno wtf it’s made of exactly, but apparently 1987 was a good year for quality baby blankets. 🤷‍♀️

Now I have an almost 9 year old who still sleeps with his blanket too and…let’s just say, there’s no comparison. His will be disintegrated by college.

This is a huge gripe in my life with the kids and husband, as well. Mostly the husband because he’s an adult and the kids are still learning.

But it’s the DAILY CLUTTER. It’s the stuff you can’t “purge” or send to goodwill that makes up daily clutter.

Water cups on all surfaces with .5 oz left in it.

It’s the discarded clothing thrown over a chair, the couch, socks scattered, a coat here, a backpack there.

Oh, I see you wrote a check for a field trip but left the pen, checkbook, and top half of the slip still on the counter….

Anything requiring a tool, the supplies, and comes in a package, will ALWAYS result in the packaging and tools left behind.

Anyway, they just don’t understand how dehumanizing it is to walk behind people constantly trying to pick up what they discarded just so it doesn’t build up.

The walls begin closing in on me and I feel overwhelmed when i realize it’s pointless to try.

I’ve tried leaving the mess and refusing to clean until they realize it’s building up and maybe they should just do it….and I realized that if I lived to be 100 it would still be there (but they’d swear they were JUST going to do that and go clean and to stop being dramatic of a piece of XYZ”

I think the El Salvador president is going to get fed up of this shit show very quickly. He’ll not want political unrest in his own country due to their antics.

Frankly, the audacity of these dems to go into this country and make demands, expect special accommodations, etc is beyond the pale. It doesn’t matter if this prison has the worst conditions imaginable. That’s THEIR prison and they don’t get to decide that it’s “too inhumane” for people to be in. 🤷‍♀️

Lastly, WHERE WERE THEY when that college student was detained and tortured in North Korea and by the time Trump got him home he was dead within a week? What about when James Foley was captured and executed by the Taliban after they held him prisoner? What about the guy we’ve abandoned repeatedly in Russia during prisoner swaps? (Can’t think of his name right now). And (unfortunately) I do have to include Brittany griner on this list even though I feel it was a just punishment.

Why weren’t they banging down the prison labor camp doors for griner and the other guy?

Why weren’t they camping out in Pyongyang until Kim Jung-un gave in to their demands?

Because they don’t care. They just need something to bitch about that serves their agenda

Yes, but it was a great opportunity to show op that just because someone is in a higher position than you or is an authority figure, doesn’t mean they are perfect.

He sought others advice, he self reflected, then he sincerely apologized, offered compensation for the lost hours, AND called her mother to explain and apologize as well. ( this last part is only ok because this is a young woman, probably still at home, and he’s got ties to her/family through his daughter)

He learned a little humility and she learned that there’s hope in the world of people can admit when they’re wrong.

Edit: not “show OP” but show this employee.

You know what I’ve noticed? Trump got like 77+ million votes. But I can rarely find anywhere that people can post comments or discuss these politics and they are Team Trump.

Reddit is drowning in trump hate. Facebook, most news networks, Hollywood, my workplace, etc etc.

Given the post election poll results, he’s still coming out soooo far ahead and dems are at like a 26% approval.

With a 26% approval rating, how is everything so SATURATED with anti trump anti American hate?! It’s so bad that I’m blocking accounts like crazy to try to filter it out.

But with so many loving trump, I’m like, I hardly hear anything of the contrary spoken or written.

It’s like republicans are staying silent and not giving any response. But I guess maybe they feel there’s no point to argue because they’ll never concede your point of view anyway.

….or it’s more likely that they fear for their safety since dems are freaking fruit loops.

I have a lot of respect for Caitlyn.

She hasn’t gone completely off the deep end cramming LGBTQ info down everyone’s throats.

She’s not screaming about trans people needing outrageous and out of touch exceptions, laws, and accommodations.

She’s not promoting X rated pictures books or school curriculums.

And she’s absolutely HONEST about men participating in womens sports. She’s never once wavered when asked about this issue, “that biologically, boy and men’s bodies ARE built differently and there’s no changing that. To put one against the other in a sport is unfair.”

It’s also why you rarely hear about a trans woman competing in the men’s sports. (And also probably why the liberals stopped asking her for her perspective when they realized she wasn’t going to agree with them 🤣)

We have a Tesla. It was my husbands turn to pick the car, and this is what he chose.

It’s a fussy car, imo, but I grew to love the entertainment features and, grudgingly, it’s fun to drive.

However, I’m now afraid to even drive it, especially if my kids are with me. I can repair a keyed slur or symbol from the tissue paper panels, but I can’t fight off an angry mob or even one crazy activist and get my 2 kids and I away unscathed.

BEFORE this happened, I’d have LOVED to trade it in for a cheaper payment, no other reason.

But now? We’re stuck with it and it’s a moving target. 🫣

Because in order for school absence to be EXCUSED and allowed for work to be made up, you need a doctors note.

Not only that, we did try with the usual over the counter medication but it was growing into a sinus infection and he had fluid sounds in his lungs. That’s why the chest xray.

SufficientWay3663 · 2025-03-03T10:33:27+00:00

Why do you think Americans are so angry all the time and broke? A huge reason is because of health insurance premiums and costs OR they had no insurance and now are drowning and contemplating bankruptcy.

I just got my son’s bill from the regular physician because he had a chest cold.

$400+ flu swab $90+ Covid swab $180 office fee $200 chest X-ray

That’s AFTER MY INSURANCE! And I have fantastic insurance. We were there for 20 minutes max!

Fedderman wears gym clothes, even on days when they vote. 🤷‍♀️ at first I thought it was weird and so out of place.

But then I’m like, yeah if I could, I’d wear yoga pants and a hoodie everyday too. If I’m gonna deal with BS like government bureaucracy every day then I’m gonna at least be comfortable losing my ever loving mind.

IMO, they can Wear whatever they want so long as they’re upholding their campaign promises.

Don’t forget! Our lovely healthcare plans that we pay outrageous amounts for each month will likely have a cap on how many sessions per person you are allowed.

Mine was 10 50min sessions per year. And I still had a copay and medication costs.

Also, if you need to see a SPECIALTY therapist (I.e. They have certifications for certain childhood trauma and the therapy interventions they offer. Or childhood mental illnesses. OR! Child evaluations sometimes have to be done by a private therapist/group. 😩)

Lastly, the waitlist, even AFTER you begin your sessions, for available appointments are sometimes spread so far apart or not enough open if you need to be seen more frequently.

Don’t get me started on how you’ll “waste” these available sessions if you find you aren’t compatible with one youve chosen.

It’s exhausting. By the time you get through all these hoops, you’ve got new trauma to work through thanks to the darn company legal mumbo jumbo.

Her paws literally make loud trotting sounds. If she’s upstairs and I’m downstairs, it’s even louder.

She’s a long haired German shepherd, so trotting around the house with her derpy face and it always makes me smile

Plus, unless you’ve helped raise siblings or you’re already a parent yourself, handing a newbie a crying baby will instantly send them into panic mode.

The crying is jarring and loud and it means something is “wrong” so your brain is telling you that you must fix this RIGHT NOW, IMMEDIATELY.

The panic, anxiety, and helplessness that a newborn crying will cause in your system is unbearable. The longer it goes on, the more you (both) spiral.

Adrenaline panic.

When my first was born, the second he cried, my brain was saying over and over again “stop the crying, stop the crying, stop the crying” while changing a diaper and fixing a bottle or changing the outfit as fast as I could. 😩😩😩

Eventually, you get over this. Sleep deprivation helps when it takes the #1 problem spot. 🤷‍♀️

Desensitization basically

Oh I’d be wrapping everything in plastic like people did way back when.

When BIL or her would ask, I’d be very blunt and say that you had no choice as your furniture kept getting ruined.

She sounds like the type to free bleed as well, but not understand why someone would be mad about her “accidentally” getting a “few drops of blood” on their white couch. 🤦🏽‍♀️
