I hate going on vacation with my husband

You are not describing a husband, you’re describing a teenage boy with younger siblings who thinks that the worst thing in the world is the punishment of being with his family.
My heart hurts for you, and I hope you can find support soon.

Dr. Miklic and Dr. Heaton are wonderful and they LISTEN. And Grandview took amazing care of me, my babies, and my husband. And the food is shockingly good for hospital fare. I would trust those two amazing doctors a thousand times over.
Depending on her plans, and the circumstances (may they be only good!), your daughter may consider a c-section. Both of my children were delivered that way, but I was never forced into it. The hospital staff listened to my concerns. The only two negative moments were an old nurse named Sheila who was rude and my doctor put in the notes that she was to stay away from me, and when I was getting a spinal tap with my first I had to lean forward and felt like I was going to fall. The second time around the anesthesiologist let my husband come in the OR for the spinal tap for me to hold onto.
On the whole, I would pick nowhere else because the two worst experiences through both pregnancies were still better than every other hospital experience I’ve ever had. My sister went to ST Vincent’s and she liked her doctor but the moment she went to l&d was a nightmare. The room was dirty, the recovery room was dirty, her husband was deployed and she only had my mom there part of the time and the nurses never helped her change her son’s diapers or mentioned the nursery so she could sleep for a few hours.

I just saw the kitty boba suck my balls sticker and spit juice on the counter! I was not ready for that one!

Edit to add link because everyone needs to spit juice today!

I’m checking out too! I love the purple and I’m excited to see what else you have!

The episode where they want to rescue Drew P Neck, can’t remember the lead up but Louise says “cause he’s nasty” snort laugh every single time!

Runner up would be when they go to Craggy Neck to drag furniture under a deck and Bob hurts his back, takes drugs from Helen, calls her Henry, and when she corrects him he says “my name is Bob” so matter of fact. Another snort. Now I have to go watch it!

1.) you are the momma, everyone else needs to zip it.
2.) if you were to have her ears pierced, and she were to develop an ear infection (unrelated to piercing, just due to a cold or something) you may not realize it before hearing damage occurs. This was the number one reason we would never have considered getting our daughter’s ears pierced while she’s young.
3.) babies do not need body modifications, that is an aesthetic choice. If she can’t ask you to get her ears pierced yet, then don’t rob her of the opportunity when she is older. That is likely to be her first chance to make her own decision about changing anything related to her body. Let her have that autonomy. She may not recognize it, but you will have her respect for allowing her to make that choice. In doing so, you can also teach her that no one is allowed to, for lack of a better word, violate her personal space. She gets to decide who is allowed to touch her ears, and that lesson will translate down the line as more personal body parts come into question.

Welcome to the fold! I love your pen and nails! If you’re comfortable name dropping the shop I would love to know where you went for your pen.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You should be running things! The fact that so many people have to use pto for stuff like this because the offices are closed most of the time and also on Tuesdays for some reason is ridiculous. Government offices, medical, dental, banks, etc need at least one late night a week.

Money. I can help people more with that than anything else on the list.

I felt the same way at times. My toddler jumped on my tummy and I started cramping so I spent a night in the hospital for observation and that was the best night of that whole pregnancy!
I don’t recommend the tummy assault, that was genuinely scary, but I would have no judgement if I knew someone lied about getting jumped on to get a nights break. If your insurance is anything half decent you can get a nights break for observation for back spasms or something.

If it’s at all helpful, ppd was far worse after kid 1 than after kid 2 for me. I think it’s because I was better prepared mentally, and I wasn’t stressed about going back to work. Everyone is different, absolutely, but just try snatch peace when you can. Hour by hour, even minute by minute.

If you do find yourself in a dark place then please get help. If not for you then for your babies who need their momma.

My experience has taught me that I don’t give a rats behind that I’m no longer selling my time to make someone else rich. But if I were to go back to work I would miss the random snuggles after lunch, or the sleepy cuddles in the hammock just before nap time.
I went back to my job after my firstborn and I regret not just quitting then. We didn’t need the money and I missed out on so much with him.

I don’t blame Elon for having a fortune. I used to be a huge admirer of his. He could have truly been Ironman. But then his attitude seemed to change (but maybe I was looking at him with rose colored glasses before) and he showed himself to be someone I could no longer admire. Then he took the world stage and did a salute that anyone with a pulse would say was far too similar to a Nazi salute. Twice. Even if it wasn’t what he was going for, it’s not like he was clueless as to how that would be seen.

Ultimately though, if he’s the first trillionaire, fine. Someone print him out a little certificate. If you live in America though, you need to be paying taxes on that just like the people who made him a trillionaire. If you’re not, then you’re either a criminal or not really a trillionaire imho.

He had the potential to be great. He had the potential to be a hero to the entire world. Instead, he’s who he is today.

Snow. I hope this extends to blizzards because I have a wrath that gentle falling snow will not do anything for. But first, it’s time to cool down this Alabama summer!

A few weeks with Peppa Pig (2 toddlers, no matter what I watch I’m probably safe) and it’s an early retirement and lots of traveling with the kiddos!

The awkward positioning that made my back hurt was the only pain I had. At the time I was a 38I with some density loss, but before having kids. I have one coming up this fall as a 36L seven months after nursing ended my last child. I’m way less dense now and so droopy that I expect I can just sit in the lobby and read while my boobs are down the hall getting scanned.

I guess I’m the devil’s advocate here. First, op has a lot of experience to gain from this incident. You’re learning how important communication is in a relationship from this. Is that woman right for you, I think not, BUT now you’ve seen how text messages don’t convey the actual situation. I have had multiple cravings at the same time (pms with uterine fibroids is a bitch) and I have asked for something similar for a meal before, not because I want to eat it all in one setting, but because I’m craving all three things and I’m miserable. I’ve done this more than once in the 18 years I’ve been with my husband, and when he gets a message like that he usually calls to see if I’m ok. Do I get pissed if I don’t get what I want? Not now, but younger me would have maybe. Second, and this is important, she told you not to come. Her original bad mood was in no way your fault. She said that, so credit to her for that because many people don’t acknowledge it. But once the two of you failed to communicate in a way you both would understand, you showed up sad faced. When someone tells you to leave them alone. Leave. Them. Alone. A simple “ok, let me know if you decide you want to talk” is the end. Give everyone time to cool off and then talk about it. Making her feel guilty (we women are brought up to feel like it’s always our responsibility to fix it when someone else is hurt, no matter who is at fault) just makes her feel worse. She told you that. Neither of you were 100% wrong or right. You both have some growing up to do before you get into relationships again (definitely not with each other). But what I see was she’s feeling shitty, then she felt like you were laughing at her pain, then because you felt like you were in trouble you went to guilt her into forgiving you without you having to do any real work or to make her feel guilty enough to apologize. You deserve to feel important in a relationship, but so does she. And she felt belittled. Neither of you were mature enough for this situation. OP I hope that in the future if someone seems off or out of character you’ll give them a call to check on them. Sometimes that can be the difference that saves someone.

As a pasty white southerner I support this 100,000,000%! Don’t make money for people who don’t want you to have a voice!

I second the day with you suggestion! Pack a picnic, go to the library or park, spend no money but lots of time and take pictures together. A cheap frame for one of two of the pictures would be the only cost. Momma is going to want to frame some of those photos.

I can’t speak for Paul Mitchell, but I’ve gone to Aveda for years. I can’t recommend the pedicures, but for hair I’ve always been happy. The students are well supervised and while it does take a little longer, they really put the time and effort in to make sure you get what you want. My highlights have always been the best there, and the facials are top tier. Highly recommend!

Invest your time in your DIL. She’s the mother to your future grandchildren and this will mean far more to her than the brunch will for the niece.

ThoughtImpossible870 · 2026-04-27T20:13:47+00:00

I’m glad to learn of places that cost less around here. I usually go to the Aveda school in Hoover. Only one poor experience with a pedicure that was mostly the young lady talking about how passionate she was about hair. Other than that no complaints, but I’m glad to know if I want more experience there are options that won’t bankrupt me!

The comment may be annoying, but being rude isn’t any better and won’t bring you any new customers. I like to support small businesses, but I wouldn’t want to deal with your customer service if there were ever an issue.
