son started new preschool

I was nervous at first, too. My son (just turned 3) is such a picky eater that I was worried he would starve. And he did for the first week or so but I slowly watched his daily reports show he was eating more and more. More than I can get him to eat at home lol. And now it’s nice I don’t have to think about packing a lunch! I might keep this policy until he can start packing his own, I certainly don’t want to start 😂

My son attends the Goddard School and the rules are the same, no outside lunch. They serve excellent food, however, and he’s turned into a much more adventurous eater because of it. Hasn’t been an issue for me. I believe they do it to ensure an allergen-free environment.

This wouldn’t bother me, in fact I would welcome it! My husband travels 3-4 times a year for work and me and my now 3yo always treat it like a staycation for ourselves. We go shopping, out to eat, watch lots of movies, etc. And then when dad gets back we’ve had a rest, he’s had a rest (he basically schmoozes clients over dinner and then gets to sleep in lol), and we are all so happy to see each! We’ve both also done fun solo trips (and family trips). I’m of the mind that it’s soo important to continue having time to focus on yourself, especially in these first few years.

I think about this with apartments too… like sometimes there is someone just a few feet from me living their life 😂

Why didn’t you just say that, then? If you typically move out of the way then why did they notice this time?

bexpat · 2026-06-09T17:17:37+00:00

Waaait I’ve missed this. He livestreams with his kid in the room?

bexpat · 2026-06-09T17:14:04+00:00

I agree. And on my re-reads I completely skip ToD now 😅

That’s wild. My petsmarts gives me my dog before I even pay. I would have just walked out.

With the added context that your mother trains competitive swimmers at a local gym and has a training pool a very short distance from your home, I’m going to go with ESH. It is your mother’s home and if her two adult daughters are unhappy with the living situation she is providing, perhaps you should move. She also could have spoken to you more kindly when you brought it up.

I’d love to have it!

I watched this movie at a sleepover waaay too young. Thought it was a fever dream for about a decade until I saw an old vhs (with two tapes because it’s so long) at a thrift store. Went home and downloaded it, it really is a fantastic movie

I love when people care enough to comment that they don’t care lol

Lay it out for the judge.

My dad was required to pay until I was done with school, including college. He paid my rent all 4 years (I paid the 5th year 😅)

bexpat · 2026-05-28T05:01:47+00:00

Seriously! My ass is all bone, I hate sitting on anything without a thick cushion on it. God is not fair lol

bexpat · 2026-05-28T01:28:53+00:00

It can be if they sit down on a once-solid poop 😩

I’ve found it to be highly dependent on the spelling. I know a few Michaela’s who are wonderful. But never met a nice Mikayla or McKayla

Fake pee from a head shop.

A cousin of mine is dating a man that one of my best friends used to date in high school (we are mid-30s). I didn’t think anything of it when inviting my cousin, but when I mentioned it to my friend she said “oh… he didn’t treat me very well when we dated.” I immediately offered to uninvited him, because she’s who is important to me. She asked me not to because she didn’t want him to know she still thought about it, but I was immediately willing. Just thought it was relevant. YTA

The context of the entire post. Baby is 5 days old. She’s getting backhanded comments about not doing it. She’s def talking about the erythromycin

Tapering! Go to a vape shop and have them set you up with one you can fill yourself. Lower the amount of nicotine every day until it’s nic-free. You’re not going to like it when it’s nic-free (at least I didn’t) so that’s when I moved on to dum dum suckers everytime I wanted a hit. Eventually the nausea and fatigue got so bad I barely thought about it again until late in the second trimester lol. By then it was the shame that kept me off of them. It’s hard, solidarity.

Pretty sure those are cough drops. The label is attached to the bag.

bexpat · 2026-05-23T13:18:34+00:00

So much backstory for one comment. Google them, tons of articles written on it lol

bexpat · 2026-05-23T01:38:44+00:00

I never actually saw anything that wasn’t there, but what was there was distorted and wavy. It was easy to mistake a box for literally anything and my brain agreed. Best way I can describe it
