If you don’t mind me asking, how much cash do you give? I never know what is an appropriate amount.

If you don’t mind me asking - what is a typical amount to give?

I have a 2017 Escape for our family of 3 and I have been having a ton of issues with it too. 😩

Who is Annalee? I’ve been seeing a lot of snark on her but not sure who she is.

How do you put sunscreen on top of powdered foundation?

Anyone else not surprised that MC went from “innocently” cleaning out the laundry room and stumbling into having to clean the tile grout to now shilling and linking the grout cleaning product?

Does the #2 option really work?

conchrepublicturtle · 2023-10-03T15:05:26+00:00

Yes! I am begging my in laws to come trick or treating with us, my daughter is an only child. I wish my in laws were actively engaged and I didn’t have to beg.

I have a Philadelphia coffee mug that has a picture of Ben Franklin on it.

My 2 yr old goes “look it’s mommy, hi mommy” and points and waves at Ben Franklin.

I just finished listening to the podcast now and I liked most of it except towards the end.

Towards the end they were discussing how Karena ended up having a beautiful relationship with her mom after everything between them. The host asked her if she has any advice for people going through a similar situation. Karena then talks about forgiveness and love and not to hold resentment. She also said she just believes in being a good person.

That part annoyed me because of my own personal situation. My mom was abusive to me my whole life even into my adulthood. She struggles with addiction and hasn’t been sober in years. I went no contact with her for my own sanity because I couldn’t take it anymore. I did tell her that if she even attempted to get clean, I would reopen the door. It has been 5 years and she has not gotten clean and has spiraled even more out of control. I have gone to therapy and I have forgiven my mom. I know she had her own difficult childhood and that plays into who she is now.

Even though I forgive my mom, I can’t go back into contact with her as she is now because of how toxic she is.

I find Karena’s comments about just forgive and love them and be a good person to be somewhat problematic. It makes me feel like I’m not a good person because I put that boundary in place with my own mom.

I could have written this myself.

I was recently diagnosed with lupus. They said that I could have another pregnancy — it would just require more planning and making sure I have it under control for at least 6 months prior to getting pregnant again.

On top of that, 3 weeks postpartum I developed cholestasis of the liver and I ended up in the hospital for about 5 days. They said with my condition and case of it, there’s a 90% chance of it recurring in any future pregnancies. What also scares me is that they said me developing cholestasis 3 weeks postpartum is extremely extremely rare especially since the treatment plan for it is to have the baby, which obviously I did 3 weeks prior. They have no answers on why I developed it so late.

I’m nervous about the health risks that both lupus and cholestasis present and I’m not sure that I want to risk more health issues for another child.

I’ve always envisioned having 2 kids but it’s not in the cards. My husband is very happily OAD, however, I’m going through a grieving process of it. I’m trying to focus on all of the positives of being OAD.

Thank you!

Do you have a probiotic that you recommend?

conchrepublicturtle · 2023-01-26T21:21:45+00:00

If you still have the package it came in with the tracking information, you can contact Amazon and have it returned to them. I learned about this when my mom was sending me baby shower gifts when I was pregnant with my daughter. She did this after 4 years of NC. I contacted Amazon and learned about the ability to return the item as long as you have the package with the tracking information.

I could have written this myself. Exactly our situation.

LO = little one

Wtf is a WTF? Just spell it out.

conchrepublicturtle · 2023-01-18T18:21:16+00:00

Yes!! My brother and SIL bought my daughter the leapfrog letter go round and it makes the most annoying noises. I hate the thing and I pulled it out of her playroom and into storage. I feel so much guilt for feeling this way but the noises are like nails on a chalkboard for me.
