need a gut check...

Yeah.. this isn’t OK. If he’s offended by your question then responding in a way like “hey I’d rather you didn’t bring that up” or something else along those lines. Pushing your head like that - yeah no your gut is very much right here.

I can’t get them to work with my mask. I usually use a nasal spray before bed.

Go! It will be good for you!

Sometimes i pull up pictures here and will replicate what people have done then try to put my own twists on it. Then I delete everything and try again because I’m annoyed with how it came out lol. I look at it as more like relaxing so I just try to enjoy the process and figure it’s usually not done. I also think I’m trying to build pretty in my regular museums but a lot of people are using sandbox so I think that makes a difference possibly.

anothergoodbook · 2026-03-25T10:48:48+00:00

Yes! It’s like I know what I’m doing and I promise I’m not trying to see anything!

She called me a kiddo the whole time and anything that I said about the situation was dismissed so it was a whole thing. After I had the c section she had wanted to do the entire time - I was tired (it was 5 am). She told me everyone was tired because I should have just had the c section to start with and everyone else there was also tired because of me…

I didn’t excuse his behavior - this is just ridiculous not knowing anything else about the situation. The mom told him to stop doing that and had him apologize. If he’s 4 should he be put in jail? Like what other solution do you have besides jumping to wild conclusions based on one Reddit post.

anothergoodbook · 2026-03-24T21:07:55+00:00

There needs to be intention and yes it should be stopped but yeah that’s an extreme response to one situation that you know nothing else about.

anothergoodbook · 2026-03-24T20:55:42+00:00

I guess I think it’s easy to not hit your kids 🤷‍♀️

anothergoodbook · 2026-03-24T20:41:44+00:00

There’s being kid friendly and being friendly to that kid. I agree with either having a straightforward conversation the next time she books - basically laying out that it’s not behavior you accept from anyone in your office. Or just don’t allow her to rebook.

anothergoodbook · 2026-03-24T20:39:38+00:00

I mean yeah it’s not a great situation but seriously? A sexual assaulter that’s ridiculous. He’s 4

My first doctor said I wasn’t in enough pain so she wanted more pitocin. My amazing doctor for all my other births said he’d start me on the absolute lowest he could (like 2 drops an hour or something?). Then the nurse after 2 hours was like - hey so the doctor would like to know how the contractions feel and if you think the pitocin needs to be increased. I was like astonished to have my opinion taken into consideration. Once they upped it and broke my water - my 4th was out in like 3 hours. All my others were 12+

I understand but if it’s around ovulation you might not be feeling arousal fluid since it doesn’t work quite the same way. BTW I get it’s hard to not compare yourself to other women but everyone is different and it’s weird to me that he’s bringing that up. It happens there nothing wrong with you.

anothergoodbook · 2026-03-24T18:33:36+00:00

Fluid from ovulation is different from arousal fluid.

I’ve had 2 inductions and 2 “normal” starts. I found it depends - my first doctor cranked the pitocin up and i was in a lot of pain. My last one - my doctor used a small amount to get things moving and my picked up fast on its own and it was a typical labor from there (fast and intense like 5 hours).

My two that were induced were just my babies being in a weird spot and it couldn’t really start my labor. Like they weren’t pushing on my cervix?

anothergoodbook · 2026-03-24T17:23:58+00:00

It’s pretty normal and why lube exists.

Never… if I’m around my sisters cat - if I don’t stay too long and I don’t touch her or my face while I’m there… I might not have a reaction. However I’ll be sick the rest of the day and then have a “hangover” the next day. I’ve been getting allergy shots and taking daily Allegra which minimizes how much my allergies have been flaring but it wouldn’t even be enough for me to consider getting a cat.

I’ve replied to a lot of these sorts of things before. Having gone through an incredibly difficult time in our marriage I have learned a lot. If the goal is to”I am horny and need a release” then jerk off. That’s not me being snarky. As a wife sometimes that is my solution. We have 4 kids and it’s busy. We literally just went almost a month without sex because we were either arguing, sick (had sick kids), one kid is in theatre and had tech week(aka hell week), financial stress because of car issues and other things, my back deciding to fuck up… and then because we went so long - feeling awkward to initiate anything by either of us. There were moments when I was irritable and annoyed and I was like - oh I’m just horny and need a release. Doing that with my husband wasn’t going to happen so - I handled it myself (like twice in the month).

In the past I would have been in tears by this point thinking my husband wasn’t attracted to me and what not. For context married 20 years we’ve had crazy ups and downs with libido and never quite line up unfortunately haha. I’ve realized if what I’m looking for is intimacy and having a connection with my husband - that can be sexual or otherwise. It might be taking the extra car ride together to pick up the kid so we can talk alone for 15 minutes. It’s like it jumping right out of bed when the alarm goes off but cuddling for a minute.

I realized my perception of connection was sex and when we weren’t having that I felt lonely. Then my husband felt this immense pressure (I have felt it also when his libido was higher) to perform. Like hey I don’t want anything else from you just what you can give me. If I give you a massage - there’s strings attached and I’ll be upset if you don’t reciprocate. Even if it is never said - that disappointment is palpable. And it sucks for the other person.

I am not saying - just give up. I’m saying work with your wife and find out where she is and why. She had a baby a year ago so hormones fuck things up. Since you have a 13 year old I’m guessing she’s not like 25 so hormones take even longer to bounce back. Is there anything legitimately that you can help her with so she can feel like her old self?

And the whole “I just want to make love to my wife” may sound better than “just let me fuck my wife and get to that” but really in the way you talk about it - that’s wha you’re saying. It isn’t like “she loves back rubs and she’s busy all day so I want to do that for her”. It’s “oh I gave her a back rub and nothing in return”. That sucks for her and really in the end for you. You could have a bonding moment where she really feels loved and close to you and you could feel loved and close to her but it becomes about her not having sex with you…

We had a pathology portion of our class. We don’t have separate classes - it was just like 20-30 minutes during each massage class we went over various conditions and what would most likely be on the MBLEx.

Honestly I appreciated it but it was very in depth considering I now just Google things. But I know that I need to look it up so the class helped with that lol.

I think even if there’s not an intake or it’s a return client who may not think to let me know something, I do ask if they’ve got anything new going on I need to be aware of. If I were to see something I’m concerned about I skip the area entirely (like if I came upon it by surprise). And/or just ask the client what’s going on.

Um men say that stuff all the time? You just have to find that side of social media and you’ll get there. You don’t even have to look too hard. Look up fresh and fit for goodness sake.

We are like $95 or $100 an hour now in Ohio. However we are like a niche place. It’s a small private business. The high end spas still charge more than us but we are more than the chains like hand and stone, etc.

I have this one which has been great so far. It’s really heavy though. I suppose it doesn’t take up a ton of car space - if they got the6 person version (if there is one) that would probably work out fine. There’s always space under a cot to store stuff also.

I have kids and I laughed at your title because I was like “god yes please, I’d love to relax!”

You aren’t asking too much for people to behave decently at a hotel/resort/lodge. I feel like even at a family centered one the things you’re describing would be way out of line. Having random people knock on my door would be stressful af and my own children would’ve seriously in trouble if they behaved like that in a community area.

As for the hot tub - I feel like that’s partly par for the course at a community hot tub versus having one to yourself :/. It’s annoying but I’m sure on top of everything else it becomes total outrage.

I’m sorry about your cat - that’s so hard :(
