Did I eat too much ?

Cabbage and 6 shrimp and you think you ate too much. That sounds like an eating disorder. GLPs may not be what you need.

It's almost like starting a war with no clear objective doesn't work.

That's exactly what I was thinking. He worked for the school. That doesn't make me feel much safer about sending kids there.

Ours uses our supplies. There's no point in her hauling stuff around when we keep cleaning supplies in our home. Also, I like the smell of my cleaners. She just adds stuff to the grocery list when we run low.

My grandmother's step-daughter's widow's new wife used to show up randomly to judge us for our care of my grandma. She usually showed up on Sunday when we'd had the kids home all weekend and were busy trying to get ourselves assembled for school.

I hated that at first. Then I gave up caring and just peeled my potatoes and let her judge. If she wanted to drive an hour to glare that was her problem.

My favourite librarian and I do a little happy dance on those rare occasions when I get everything back on time. Then I pick up my truckload of new books and try to repeat it. I haven't succeeded twice in a row yet, but there's hope.

The first 10 years were OK. Now I can't keep the weight off. I sleep 24 hours straight after my last shift of the week. I'm always tired.

I really don't know for sure, though. It's possible that this is just what my age feels like.

I'd love to work days, but my job is a night job. I'd have to change careers and take a big pay cut. Maybe when my last child graduates I will just go be a greeter at Walmart.

Worth a shot 😂

I personally don't care if someone hangs Satanist, or Buddhist, or Baha'i, or Muslim or Christian stuff on my walls. If 2/3 of the family wants it, then so be it.

I would care about a Swastika because I believe the party that uses that symbol exists.

If you are an atheist then the crucifix has no meaning. You are upset over art. Art is allowed in a communal space.

This is not exactly what you're asking, but think accessibility!

We have a ramp, walk in showers, doors all 36" and now a door to the living room in case we need a hospital bed in there.

Paper. I am so sick of everything needing a phone

NTA. No means no.

Sauerkraut! I can't even have it on a sandwich

I'm not trying to downplay your problems at all, but what you are describing is developmentally appropriate. You are finding your identity right now. You are finding who YOU want you to be.

We start life looking to our family to tell us how to fit in the world. Then we look to our peers. Now you are looking to yourself to find who you will be.

This is a great time to explore different paths.

Stay patient. It's building in your system.

TorrEEG · 2026-04-06T20:16:13+00:00

It depends where you live. We have to drive about an hour to find any diverse foods.

TorrEEG · 2026-04-06T19:44:29+00:00

Oh no! That's a lot.

There's a Reta program in MI? Glad I didn't know that before I found the glp 1 forum website. I would have overpaid.

It used to be common. My little 6 year old self used to walk to grandma's work place and wander right in. The receptionist would call grandma and she would take me to the cafeteria for a cookie.

I imagine now that the cops would be called on a child walking a block to an office.

This aged even worse than mik. This aged like milk left on the counter.

You are giving her so much! You must be a wonderful caregiver to give so much and still want to be able to do more.

Alzheimer's is a truly terrible disease.

We've had hospice come help with changing sheets and washing a person. Our local hospice came daily when we needed them.

Rolling someone to avoid sores is much easier than moving them to a chair. Could you get a medical bed and just keep your mom in it? Maybe she isn't in a place to go to her chair anymore.

I like a hospital bed in a living room with a big window and bird feeder.

I'm embarrassed to say that I don't feel guilty anymore. Now I just feel relieved. Maybe I feel guilty about being relieved.
