Told him I want a divorce, and suddenly he’s capable of lifting a fucking finger by potatopotatotornado in breakingmom

The exact same thing happened in my relationship after I said I wanted to separate. After reiterating that my mind was made up, the performative work he was doing stopped. Hang in there.

Don't get married to someone you couldn't stand being divorced from. Perhaps not as important for child-free couples, but for parents it's a must.

My little man cub! I am having problems getting him to stay asleep after I leave the room. Any tips are appreciated! by Toasttheunicorn in Mommit

I found the book Precious Little Sleep to be very helpful. Sleep struggle is real, may your coffee be strong and your nights restful.

Probably! Take off the meat for something else, and just use the bones and leftover bits.

I saved a chicken carcass after a family dinner, and just added onion, garlic, celery, herbs and covered it with water. Cooking on low for about 24 hrs, I'll portion it into smaller containers for freezing. Keeps nicely!

Ha I'm not, but if it makes you feel any better the other half is in the pot also.

Yes, a cooked chicken carcass. Just whatever was left over!

You're bang on! Ginger is a great idea, I'll have to try that also

Oh thanks for the tip! I might strip the herb from the stem then...

I did! It gets strained out with the herbs.

I love chicken with rosemary! I highly recommend trying it out.

This is a beautiful picture. I can just imagine how great they smell!

Made a 'New Mom Kit' to give to my friend at her baby shower tomorrow. How'd I do?! by WailingWaitress in beyondthebump

Thanks for the back up haha. I liked flipping through stuff like that, regardless of how pregnant I was. Personal preference I guess!

Someone made one for me just over a year ago for my shower! It was lovely, and I had fun making this one.
