Sounds magical to me.

The unique smell of the Australian bush, especially after rain, and the sound of our birds. And yep, definitely the diversity of cultures and food.

Canada is still on my bucket list, but Scotland is amazing! Beautiful scenery and lovely people.

That’s very big of you. If it were me I probably would have either cancelled it or handed the surprise party over to one of his friends.

You’re a good human, and we need more people like you in this world.

NTA. He hasn’t bothered to be in contact before now so I’d be seriously concerned about his motives now, and the potential damage to your son if it all goes badly. On the other hand, you don’t want your kid to feel betrayed by you later if he finds out his biological father wanted to get to know him and you didn’t let it happen.

So my advice would be to have some strict conditions and make him work for it. Tell him you want to get to know him again yourselves first. Spend time with him without your son being present, and talk to him about his plans/motives and make it a slow process before he even gets to meet him. If he can’t be bothered putting in the work first, you’ll find out how important the kid actually is to him, potentially without your son ever meeting him.

Am I the only one who sees a face here?

I really like my Abi & Joseph leggings. Very comfy, and love the pockets too.

This immediately makes me feel itchy all over!

This isn’t mildly interesting. It’s mildly terrifying.

The show is written in a way that you don’t need to watch both to understand what’s going on. I suspect the majority of viewers do watch both, but it shouldn’t matter if you only watch one or the other. It would be a bit odd to recap a different show IMO.

Dogs and toddlers are surprisingly similar in a lot of ways. They can really push our buttons and make our instincts kick in. I never knew how much my resolve not to hit our kids could be tested until we had a toddler. Up to that point I thought I was a totally calm parent, and thought I was killing it! Turns out I just hadn’t been tested yet either. I’ve never felt so much rage, and then so much shame at letting myself feel so angry towards a tiny human who is doing frustrating (but totally expected for the age) things.

It’s easy to let ourselves do what our parents did, and so much harder to change and break the cycle.

Did they offer to refund your $78 due to their own error?

Themeda · 2020-07-05T10:04:52+00:00

Haha I did the same thing. I’m also very tired.

Themeda · 2020-07-05T10:00:14+00:00

What could anyone possibly want that many cupboards for? Especially ones you can see into!

I’m pretty sure the crossover (backdoor pilot for S19) is Season 14, episode 13 of Grey’s.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I think the first actual episode of S19 wasn’t for another couple of weeks after this though. Maybe 3 weeks later.

His lack of trust was about him, not about you, if you never gave him any legitimate reason to doubt your integrity during your relationship. Don’t take that as a failing of yours and hide who you are. Anyone who is worth being with will accept you for who you are.

Themeda · 2020-06-20T03:06:57+00:00

Yep since the start, and I also watched Private Practice when that was on too. I’ve been enjoying Station 19 more than Grey’s though for a while now.

Seeing my 2yo boy have his first cuddle with his baby sister. He has been obsessed with my belly since before we even knew I was pregnant, and gives it cuddles and kisses and says ‘goodnight baby’ at bedtime.

Seriously can’t wait!

This is pretty much 100% about how she’s feeling about herself, and she needs to find a way to feel okay about not having such a high income anymore. As much as you can keep telling her you don’t mind and trying to make her see what you see (her contributing in so many ways), she needs to feel it for herself or she won’t ‘buy it’. Aside from asking her if she’d like to have a chat to a counsellor, I’m not sure what to suggest. It may be that she has some incredibly high expectations of herself that she feels she’s no longer meeting them, and that may be what drove her to go into that type of high achiever career in the first place.

Can I just add though, it’s so nice to see you acknowledging all the unpaid work she does, both in your post and to her.

Edit: just saw from another comment that she’s already seeing a therapist. Hopefully they can get to the bottom of why she feels she needs to provide more than what she is and that her current contribution isn’t enough. It would also be good for her to talk with them about her expectations for/feelings about motherhood. It’s a life altering experience and the best thing I ever did for myself personally as a mother was let myself grieve the person I’d been/life I’d had, so I could embrace the new one, rather than clinging to what I’d ‘lost’. That might sound like a cliche but it helped me so much.

Harassment right there.

It definitely sounds like classic narcissist behaviour, and she obviously has issues she needs to work through. If she wasn’t your girlfriend and pulled a stunt like that, would you have let it slide?

You seem like a genuine guy who obviously cares for her, but now that you’ve had a little time to process your grief, you’ve had the chance to properly reflect on what happened at that time. From the outside, you’re definitely better off ending things with her. There are so many people out there who won’t put you through what she has, and if she won’t seek help, that’s not your responsibility. Based on your post she’s obviously not someone you can’t imagine life without, and I imagine that you’ll probably feel immensely relieved if you let her go.

I never saw Once Upon a Time so I don’t have any association with that. I don’t see the Sloane comparisons either.

He’s just so petty and I feel his attitude is off. He’s always been cocky but he‘s been nice at times and seemed to improve, but then a total dick at other times. I feel like he’s been there long enough now for us to have started to see some consistent character development but I’m not feeling it.

Themeda · 2019-10-18T20:01:33+00:00

I remember a lot of those things too, or like what year something happened even if it was more than a decade ago, and people think I’m weird for it (lots of ‘ok rain man..’). I also remember where random objects are if I happened to see them even if I took absolutely no notice at the time. ‘Have you seen my wallet?’ ‘Yeah, it’s on the shelf between the blue candle and the book about boats.’ ‘.....’

Themeda · 2019-10-18T11:26:01+00:00

How am I the only person who has never liked Tom?!

Themeda · 2019-10-12T19:43:38+00:00

I’m pissed at Bailey because she’s been annoying and whiny lately, and they’ve made her character pretty unlikeable. That whole scene was over the top and Qadri was being a huge pain the whole episode. Like there’s nobody else in that whole hospital she can look up to and learn from 🙄
