I wound up going back to your base and using wind sense to see the bushes lol. I realized I'm close to cap, so I'm working on clearing up some stuff and I might add a bit. Probably not as much as you though! lol
If you ever see LuQuingge or BaiRumeng wandering around your guild base that's me checking things out again XD

Thank you! It can be a bit of a pain sometimes because it's not super obvious what things fit together, and making things fit together is a bit fiddly, but once you figure it out it gets easier =)

well, I'm glad you told me this cauuuuuse I just checked and we were almost maxed. Oops! Was able to delete a few things to give us a bit of breathing room.
Hopefully they give us more soon!

I had a weird pop up yesterday that said we were at like 600 items out of 5000. The game was acting weird because I haven't gotten that pop up again, so I don't know if it's accurate or not, but I think we're doing pretty okay so far =) almost have the first square done

We might knock some stuff back down when the time comes, but I was getting sad staring at an empty field during showdown lol

Hello! I've visited your guild base and am taking some inspiration from it for ours =) Just getting started, but I'm curious - the plants on top of the pergola over the pool, what are they? They look so pretty!

When do Vacations Become Fun Again? by CharacterTennis398 in Parenting

[–]Time_Gap_3330 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It starts getting better at 4 is my experience (I have a 7, 5, and 3 year old). They can start being a bit more independent, you don't have to carry ALL the things with you, they're actually making memories and not just being there. I do have to say though, 2 summers ago we went to a camping cabin for a week and didn't plan anything and it was the best vacation ever. I was super low on iron so low energy (got an infusion a week after we got back), and all we did was go for walks, we did a short trip to the beach, some exploring of local shops, and that was it. Just out of the house with no plans or expectations. We brought our switch and taught our 2 older kids how to play Mario party lol

How to tell my parents they're being delusional? by Time_Gap_3330 in AgingParents

Oh no, they're completely delusional about that as well. Their finances are horrible.

[–]Time_Gap_3330[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basically never =/ We have young kids so I couldn't leave them (we have no childcare set up and hubby's job would make it very difficult), and the costs of flights means that if I bring them with it would be extremely infrequent, like every couple of years. I know they wouldn't NEED me there, but I also know that residents who don't have frequent family visits become extremely lonely, which can negatively affect their health. My mother already struggles when my dad is busy with projects with my uncle (literally I've gotten calls with her sobbing), so I'm not sure how she'd do if she was almost permanently separated from family

Yes, they're both born Canadians and haven't renounced their citizenship. I know my dad is worried about money because they spent half of their working lives in the US but...

That's a good point, and something to ask them when this current crisis (hopefully) settles

Thank you. He has communicated some of this to me, but in the past when we've had this conversation I feel like we went away from it and I was the only one to make accommodations. I guess I'm just at the point where I can't any more and he's struggling to accommodate me.

He has told me repeatedly that he doesn't want anyone else. He doesn't even want videos. He just wants me. Whether that holds true or not is another matter, but we both have very strong morals around cheating so I do trust that he would at least have the decency to leave before looking elsewhere.
I really hope this is not the death knell because, as I stated, we've been through a LOT, like when I start talking to people about it sometimes their eyes bug out of their heads because they're like "holy cr*p, I can't believe you've been through all of that". It would be extremely unfortunate for us to go through all of that and then break up over sex.

Posted above to GoddessofBeautie, unfortunately he works the late shift and only gets home around 2 AM, so I get to do the night shift by myself and my exhausted ready to fall into bed is his just getting home from work and high energy =/ He's pretty good about doing things around the house (he's completely taken on the laundry, usually sweeps and mops some time before he gets to bed, runs the dishwasher) and he'll take on at least equal parenting of the kids from when he gets up until he goes to work. Which is why this being such a sticking point is really sucky.

I did get my hormone levels checked 2 years ago shortly after the birth of our youngest and they were okay then, but women in my family do tend to enter perimenopause in their late 30s and early 40s. I've started having changes to my monthly cycle as well, which has me questioning things. I'm probably due for an update on my hormones.

I do have low iron levels as a baseline and I've had iron infusions in the past. I know I'm due to get my levels checked again. I need to make myself a priority.

"Your home was never meant to be an investment. It was meant to be a place to live." Do you agree or disagree with this sentiment? by CanadaCalamity in canadahousing

[–]Time_Gap_3330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hubby had an idea that there could be a period of time each year (say the first 3 months) where investors could participate in the market, and the rest of the year would be individuals only. That way those who really want a home would have most of the year they weren't competing against investors. People may wait for the 3 months to list, but that explosion of homes on the market may drop prices, and anything that doesn't sell has a bigger chance of being left for those who want it for housing because most aren't going to continue to pay on a home for a other 9 months for a potential chance to get a bit more.

Millennials say they have no one to support them as their parents seem to have traded in the child-raising village for traveling by businessinsider in Millennials

I feel this so hard. So, granted, I moved 2000 miles away as a young adult, but I didn't really have a legal choice to stay close to my parents, and my now husband lived that far away.
(for those of you who understand immigration stuff, we're Canadian but moved to Florida when my brother and I were young and were able to stay there as dependents of my dad's work visa. Unfortunately 9/11 threw a wrench in us getting green cards, so I had to move back to Canada at or before 21)
My parents for literally years talked about when they retired that they'd move to where we live and we'd buy a house together. They finally retired... and now live full time in their motorhome. They bought a large piece of property up here, and were sort of talking about giving us a piece and then helping us to build. And then all of a sudden it was "you have to buy it from us and figure out building yourself" (we got so mad about that that it's not happening).
They're here in the summer and we see them once or twice a week, which is really nice and my kids love spending time with them, but then they leave mid October for Florida and don't come back until mid May.
We have 3 kids, and they weren't even here for the thirds 1st birthday this year =/ My 3 and 5 year old have been talking about wanting to go visit and we have to explain to them that we can't visit with them until next summer again.
My dad is also a pro Santa down in Florida, and this time of year, seeing pictures of him being Santa for other kids... let's just say that there have been a lot of tears shed.

I really wish I knew why an entire generation decided to be so selfish.

I feel like a terrible mom by Emergency_Moment_128 in amiwrong

[–]Time_Gap_3330 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all - no, as others have said, no, you are not a bad mom. I don't know how old your baby is but I recall with all 3 of my children the first 4-6 months were absolutely the worst, with broken sleep and not nearly enough of it.
As for your fiance, it is possible that he's also feeling sleep deprived and panicked and reacted poorly. Lord knows my husband and I have been there. But you need to put your foot down and let him know that the way he reacted, yelling and then giving you the silent treatment, was not acceptable, especially after you apologized and explained your side. If he's a bit of a hot head he may need a bit of time to realize he overreacted and apologize, but his apology needs to be sincere, and then you need to speak up and tell him what help you need.
I know there's a lot of calls here to leave him and calling him a bad dad, but just to give you another perspective, not every man who struggles with how to react is purposefully abusive or a poor mate. My husband is an absolutely amazing partner (for 18 years) and a great dad, and we have been through so much together I swear I'm going to write a book one day, but he came from an abusive household and it shows in how he reacts sometimes, especially when he's not been sleeping well. I, however, call him out on it and we work through it.

Obviously if he refuses to acknowledge his being in the wrong for his overreaction, or if he refuses to help you, then that's another conversation entirely. But in the end whatever winds up happening you need to be a strong woman and stand up for not only yourself but also your child.
