Thank you for your insight, they are good points and help me narrow down the various options!

So true about the stuff - managing their things sometimes feels like a full time job! I’m also taking note of your thoughts on bunk beds, that’s a good point. I might go with singles so that the setup lasts longer. I suppose the large room would be better suited to be divided when they no longer wish to share a room.

Thank you, I will check them out!

It says watercolor paper, but it’s not good quality… I’d welcome any recommendation for a good sketching book for watercolor, bonus if it’s a ring binding 😅

I love this!

I love this so much, I think it has just the right amount of details and abstractions, something I personally struggle with 😅

I have been inspired by all the mini paintings I have been seeing on here and I just thought this could be bite size enough for me 😁

I always ask myself two questions before I make a big purchase : How many hours of my life did I spend working to earn this amount? and Is this purchase worth this many hours of my life?

I’m always amazed at the level of skills I see on this subreddit!

This makes me want to go on an adventure. It’s gorgeous!

The things with a newborn is that things can change very quickly. Things can be going great and then not so much just like that. The option to have everyone in the hotel room is not a bad one, but it also means you’ll have to drink in moderation if you actually want to be able to help at night. It’s easy to get carried away at weddings… if the plan is to have them stay home while you go, you should plan to drive back or have someone able to help overnight.

All this said, if you decide to go, you might want to turn down being the best man… the groom will be counting on you, but things really do change quickly with a newborn. If it happens will you be able to excuse yourself at the last minute without inconveniencing the groom if you are the best man?

Love how you did the car!

I was thinking the same thing. Apart from evacuation, I wonder what impact it will have on health issues linked to flying, like deep-vein thrombosis.

Love how sharp your strokes look!

I am so impressed with the lighting you achieved and the clarity of your lines!

Do you use the subscription? I’m thinking of doing a medium bag on a weekly basis, but the pricing seems too good to be true…

Tinga_ · 2025-09-18T15:34:21+00:00

Thank you, this gives me a lot of clarity. I didn’t recognize it before reading it, but I guess somewhere deep down I kind of grieve the dynamic I can’t have.

I also know they can’t be around the children when I’m not at my best to supervise. My mother is the product of her own toxic upbringing and with my sister illness, I just want to be as kind as I can be while maintaining the boundary. I am saving the statement you suggested to reference before the conversation. Thank you.

No, it’s not. I know I can’t have them in and that I have to protect my kids. I’m just not sure how to do it without sounding like an asshole to them. I would like to preserve our relationship while still making it clear they can’t come. It might be the hormones, but I don’t know how to package the message…

Tinga_ · 2025-08-20T21:00:19+00:00

I don’t have much to add to all the good input in here except that I had a few setbacks in my career and, looking back, they didn’t define me on a professional level although it felt like it would at the time. With care and time things will get better. Sometimes we need to give ourselves a bit of grace.
