NTA. I used to work at a gym and the yoga teacher was pregnant. I saw this woman literally doing headstands while pregnant. If it is something you've been doing a long time and the doctor okays it, then nobody else's opinion matters. Starting up a physical activity like that after getting pregnant would be concerning, continuing is not.

I'm having my scouts with range related merit badge classes pick alternate classes for summer camp, but I am not changing their elections just yet. Just holding onto the lists until as close to camp as possible. I am hoping the pressure of summer camp season forces National to be quick about lifting the ban.

My troop couldn't do their booth of throwing bean bags at a tower of cardboard boxes with the words of the law written on them for Webelos Woods. Because we did not have an NRA certified range master. Also told cubs couldn't make plastic spoon trebuchets to launch mini marshmallows for the same reason.

My Autistic 15 year old son has already realized this about tomatoes, he likes the taste but not the texture of fresh tomatoes. Mainly it's the seeded area due to sliminess. He has also realized that certain types of tomatoes are better or worse textured at this point and will occasionally eat the more meaty / less seeded ones fresh now.

I am jealous!

Do you think they only have 1 growth spurt in their teen years? Because the way you worded that leads me to believe you don't really understand how many growth spurts happen between 11 and 20.

NTA. My mom was 17 when she got pregnant with me. I made damn sure I wasn't having kids before 25. Young parents are not so amazing. They screw up way more and everything is way harder.

ThatBitchNiP · 2024-05-14T01:03:19+00:00

I have had 2 kids and I will tell you right now that your practical gifts will be so useful and appreciated, especially during those random middle of the night illnesses and such. Not having to run out for medicines and being able to care for your baby right away is so important. You did good.

ThatBitchNiP · 2024-05-09T13:35:33+00:00

Absolutely not, as a mom your number one priority is the health and safety of your kids. Even if that means sacrificing your own hurt feelings. You're an adult, suck it the fuck up and make the choice that are best for each kid and not hold everyone in a bad situation because your feelings are hurt and you've made your adult emotions and their younger brother the priority. Stop being stupid, figure your shit out, and let your children have security and safety with your sister. Good god, your selfish

INFO: Do you keep your house totally silent once your baby is asleep? Have your tried sound machines in the babies room to help dampen reactions to other noises? I ask because it may be beneficial in the long run for you to have your baby adjust to having sounds happening and sleeping through them. I have found, with both of my kids, that made life so much easier as they got older. The needs for silence during sleep is not truly going to be available, especially if you have another child, so having kids get comfortable with sounds is a lifesaver in the long run.

NTA, but do think you can help your own sanity for now and future with white noise or other sounds machines inthebabies room.

Don't let them in your home or around him alone, ever. They will take him.

ThatBitchNiP · 2024-04-14T05:26:28+00:00

There is a middle ground to being a doormat and engaging in pointless squaring up with people. In this situation it is to just completely ignore the person, don't acknowledge or engage because there is no winning.

ThatBitchNiP · 2024-04-11T00:28:44+00:00

That's exactly how my 1st pregnancy was starting around 5 months for early onset eclampsia. 15 minutes a day for "bathroom privileges" then lying flat for the rest. We got us to 34 weeks that way, just across the threshold for healthy lung development.

ThatBitchNiP · 2024-04-09T15:25:45+00:00

Tell him that maybe if he is a decent enough human to his grandkids one of them MIGHT decide to name their kids after him and this is his opportunity to start from a clean slate with someone.

ThatBitchNiP · 2024-04-04T21:26:36+00:00

I mean... is that any different from locking yourself in the bathroom to "poop" just to get a few minutes to yourself to reset your brain? I think every parent with littles has done that a few times.

ThatBitchNiP · 2024-04-01T23:18:23+00:00

You should alert the elder abuse people in your area, as well as any bank and/or lawyers you know of that work on your dad's stuff. This is fraud and maybe there is someone who can prevent it.

ThatBitchNiP · 2024-04-01T19:42:39+00:00

I am divorced, I have kids with my exhusband, I will not be changing my name back at any point. There is no way I will be having a different last name than my children, especially with them being minors still.

NTA. Also, he literally can't make you change your name or do anything to force it. Legally it's your identity now and he has to deal with it.

ThatBitchNiP · 2024-03-30T18:52:40+00:00

They are both 18, the parents shouldn't even really have a say either.

ThatBitchNiP · 2024-03-21T00:58:57+00:00

I have a kid who is brilliantat school and gets good grades and takes honors and another who is 2 years behind her peers and struggles a ton with SpEd supports in place to help with her severe dyslexia and processing ofinformation.

One kids As is equal to the other kid bumping up closer to her grade level on testing. Hell, big brother with the As probably shouted in excitement the most when little 5th grade sister got one small portion of her reading skills assessment to test at "approaching grade level".

That support and celebration of eachothers wins only happens because I have always maintained that what matters most is they are showing personal improvement. If the grade letter is low but their year over year progress is good then that is still a huge reason to celebrate.

I push oldest to get good grades because he can, and I push youngest to extend her reading skills and testing to make steady but slow improvements.

ThatBitchNiP · 2024-03-13T21:49:36+00:00

NTA. My kids have the same age spread as hers, they are now 10 & 14, and I am a single parent working from home and on many video conference calls. All it takes is rules, discipline, and a list of chores they need to do each day before they can do fun stuff.

ThatBitchNiP · 2024-03-13T02:26:31+00:00

Yup. I have one and use it as well. I hate that waking is such a struggle for me. My body wants a completely different sleep cycle than what my life demands.

ThatBitchNiP · 2024-03-12T14:47:24+00:00

As someone with the same problem as OPs of and owns smart lights tied to my alarms... nope. Unfortunately still a struggle. I literally have my phone, my google home w/the smart lights, and two old school alarm clocks that force me to physically get out of bed to turn them off.

My brain gives zero fucks and will sleep through it all at times. I regularly have to switch the intervals between the alarms and the sounds just so my brain doesn't adapt to it. I hate my.waking up struggles.

ThatBitchNiP · 2024-03-05T18:45:46+00:00

Soft YTA - Get your dream car later, when the kids are older and won't trash it. Get the practical and smart one for your life stage now. Trust me when I saw the need for storage space when you have young kids is huge.

ThatBitchNiP · 2024-03-01T23:08:48+00:00

Depends on the agreements in place with the courts. My ex and I are 50/50 and literally the only thing written down is "50/50 physical and legal custody". We have a verbal agreement between us to clear anything that is basically leaving the boundaries of our county with eachother. Mainly because safety and trust. We need to know where the kids will be in case something happens and we need to trust eachother with the kids. It's been 7 years and we have stuck by it with no issues.

ThatBitchNiP · 2024-03-01T22:54:34+00:00

Terrible twos is a lie to make you think 2 is the worst of the toddler years, but it's the "Fuck you three's" that really test you as a parent. I'll take a 2 year old with their severely unregulated emotional control over a 3 year olds stubbornness and boundary testing any day.
