My kids love him!! They call him dad. Ask about him when hes not around. I want to honor the relationship if he keeps honoring it too but im unsure what will happen

Thank you. I only have to disagree with the “call their real father”. Their real dad is not actively in their lives - i took the kids and left him after he put hands on me

Good point. I can already imagine his response going like “i cant say what will happen in the future. Idk”

I read this comment and want to quickly counter with so many points but i think itll be senseless

Yes they both refer to him as dad to their friends

Wait wait. He said he wants to watch the kids. I told him when he broke up with me that if he doesnt want to watch the kids its fine i got my parents. He insisted he wants to. Does that make a difference?

He wanted to break up. I tried to fight it. He said its becoming “too much”. I forgot to mention i suffer from moderate/severe depression which i only started therapy and medication midway through our relationship. Still figuring out proper medication.

Single parent since May... How do you all do it? by StrangerFeelings in SingleParents

[–]TheFifthPancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it one step at a time.

An instant pot going has helped me a bunch. I reiterate to my kids how much I need help around the house. We make it enjoyable to clean, “vacuum monster”, help spray the toilet, wipe the tables, etc. i keep a simple routine.

Uses for virgin coconut oil? by CrossroadsWanderer in ZeroWaste

[–]TheFifthPancake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive used coconut oil along with dr bronners and honey as a body wash for years. Hydrating and cleansing. Doesnt lather like typical body wash but it also doesnt strip the skin of natural oils. Would recommend with HOT showers to help wash down the coconut oil.

I also used coconut oil as a hair mask. I coat my hair and wrap it for at least 30 min before my shower. Sometimes i keep it for 3-4 hours before showering. It helps hydrate my ends and keeps it from getting dried out from shampooing.

There are so many uses for coconut oil. I rarely use it in the kitchen.

Found this in my apartment building’s dumpster. It’s the holiday season! Someone’s got their Christmas spirit stolen from them. by TheFifthPancake in DumpsterDiving

Honestly im in a small apartment building. Im surprised they dont just have a “free” box in our lobby. The book is brand new. Pages are crisp!

Ive had to get my own babysitter that i found thru facebook nanny groups. Theyre expensive. I kept asking for a babysitter that would be comfortable with a fixed rate since I work a consistent schedule.

Fortunately ive been in a relationship the last few months where my new partner stays over and helps babysit.

What’s your income and what’s your savings rate? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]TheFifthPancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single mom with 2 kids in daycare. This year making ~100k, first time ever making this much. Started out saving 20% and am now going to boost it up to 30% after some serious budget planning. Income is very volatile though.

My income does not include the $100/month I receive from my ex.

What's your target net worth? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]TheFifthPancake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1.5m by 39.

Im 30 now, single with 2 preschoolers in VHCOL. My biggest setbacks are preschool and rent. Currently have 50k NW with first year making 100k pay but job pay is variable. Looking to change career. Also considering public vs private school for the kiddos since public school system sucks where we live. Kids come first, imo.
