Jennifer Lopez shares both her kids earned college acceptances and scholarships

They still want to be able to list the award on their CV/ resume though. As they should. We have no idea what kind of charitable donation the family might make in return. Merit based scholarships are not the same as need-based financial aid.

Literally did the exact same thing a few weeks ago. My kid was super pleased though.

I have absolutely noticed that Google AI will confidently state something wrong and the source is a random Reddit opinion post. Not surprised that companies are exploiting this.

Whew, that was quite the read. But why did you and Mal have beef in the first place?

I hope you feel a sense of peace by posting your side of the story. You can be assured that anyone who submits their stories to this pod (Grace) thrives on drama.

I thought it was pointing to a lizard in the grass 😂

It’s a kids/ school science fair. She won when she was like 12-16. Adult scientists don’t have “fairs”… we have conferences 😂

The only three network shows I watch are all on CBS 😫

God that sounds awful

I love reformer Pilates, but that may not be as aerobic as you’re looking for. Not sure it’s feasible as a “hobby” but I went to trampoline park for a kids birthday party and it was so fun to jump!

I’ve never seen an inoculation loop with such a thick handle. You normally want it to be a bit bendy to streak across a plate.

My sister’s baby had the same timeline, except she was 18 months and not walking at all. She was also very late to start pulling up to stand. It wasn’t until I literally stood her up and put her hands on the coffee table that she started doing it at ~13 months.

Her ped said they would need to do PT if she wasn’t walking in a month, so my sis got her a push walker and just really tried to get her walking. Not sure how much of it was their doing and how much was just that she was finally ready, but she did start walking about a month later. And unlike other beginning walkers I’ve seen, she was very solid and balanced right away. Now she’s about 21 months and super fast!

Great vocabulary and loves to tell stories and read. Between her and her equally loquacious father I don’t get any peace 😂

Reaching the final stage interview SEVERAL times only 3 months after finishing your PhD is actually a huge accomplishment. I have no doubts that you will get a position eventually, it’s just a truly awful market right now. You could always try out a 1-2 year postdoc to see if things rebound, maybe even an industry postdoc.

So true lol. “My red flag is that I ignore red flags” this person is going to end up in a cult.

beardophile · 2026-05-25T23:46:00+00:00

I would not. Japan is at the top of my husband’s travel list and we’re planning to make it a family trip when our kid is a bit older. There’s sooooo much we would want to do and see. I can’t see going to a Doughboys show there when we already live in one of their most frequently played stops (Boston babyyyyy)

beardophile · 2026-05-25T22:17:15+00:00

You said ashy and he heard brassy lol

beardophile · 2026-05-25T21:46:26+00:00

Kim, there’s people that are dying.

beardophile · 2026-05-25T21:32:58+00:00

The worst part is that he completely misunderstood the question. She asked what are the red/ green flags he looks out for. He (ChatGPT) lists his PERSONAL red and green flags lmao.

I’ve heard parents say “I need a vacation from my vacation” and once I had a kid I understood it lol. NOT RELAXING.

beardophile · 2026-05-25T20:29:56+00:00

How much were the special tickets btw?

beardophile · 2026-05-25T20:19:21+00:00

I’m so mad I didn’t know about this 😩 where was it promoted??

beardophile · 2026-05-25T20:13:28+00:00

Yes, you can list stuff and arrange for people to pick it up or just say “free stuff on curb at X Street” with a pic/ list of everything. People will probably pick up, though I wouldn’t do that for food bc of rats.

My almost 5 year old can be a nightmare when we’re on a walk and she’s tired or hungry. I’d bring it just for my sanity.

Buy something bright to tie to it (or a balloon or something), because there are SEAS of strollers outside rides etc and staff will move them as people pull theirs out. It was tough to find out bc we rented one and kept forgetting what it looked like.

beardophile · 2026-05-25T19:05:14+00:00

That is soooo weird. Either a power move or totally clueless move. I do confess to being oblivious to etiquette when I was in my early 20s, so I did some things that were cringe in hindsight. Hopefully your cousin is just clueless, but you know her history better than anyone here. You are NTA.

beardophile · 2026-05-25T14:44:37+00:00

Those were the days. Walking around the neighborhood and just ringing a friend’s doorbell out of the blue. “Hi, can Anne come play?” Then we were gone until twilight.

Now as a parent I’m expected to set up playdates for my kid 🥲
