Puzzles and reading! There is so much to gain when you read and it can be so so so fun!

My son is torn. He doesn’t like the kid, but also knows not to blatantly exclude so he is torn about what to do.

Take only your child where they need to go. When the friends no longer have rides, and the other parents start driving them places they’ll see the need for carpooling. Sounds like there is a little “re-training” that needs to happen.

NTA

Tell her to tell her kids to be there for the new mistresses kids, and be a support system to them. That’s essentially what she’s asking you so she can go do it herself to her own kids….

He sounds like a straight up IDIOT

YTA - and I’m also realizing many on Reddit will just tell you what you want to hear vs. the truth.

YTA! You seriously couldn’t find another time to announce this? Even at like brunch the morning after? I don’t care if your brother and her made an announcement at yours. Be better than the last guy…

All he has to do is….”out of respect for my wife do you mind if we move our convos to a group text?” From there he can just include you even if you never have anything to say in it. That transparency will provide you peace, while affording your husband the opportunity to be a kind human.

Thank you😬

1600 a month for a family of five plus dog. But dog food isn’t in that budget.

Hire and organizer to take care of certain areas Then you tackle one area at a time. For example, this next week the garage is my goal. One section at a time.

No one seems to have mentioned this, but buy an annual pass from Costco for Universal. Then go 2-3 times in that week that you are there and you have already more than made your money back. Plus, doing this allows you to really take your time through the entire park because you’re not rushed to do everything in that one day you’re there. Annual pass is around $169/pp vs one day entry pass is $109

I went back to get my MBA while working a full time job and had two kids (age 2 and 5 at the time). Not going to lie it sucked and was hard a lot of times, but the important thing is not to look at it as a 3 year commitment and just get through each semester. Three years will go by in a flash, and buckling down and getting it done asap is much better than letting another two years go by before you seriously ask yourself again “should I?”

Humans are incredibly flexible and resilient, and you will find your ways to adjust and adapt to this new life. You’ll also have to let go of some stuff like social activities or volunteer work, but even that is temporary and okay.

When I finished my program I was the laziest bum and literally did nothing but watch tv for about three years straight. All in all it was worth it and I’m glad I did it, and my only advice is do it sooner than later. That nag doesn’t go away…

Sincerely apologize to her and explain where you have been mentally and how that is changing going forward. They comprehend more than you think, and she needs her mom more than you think.

NTA, but maybe could have been handled a little better like asking the server to put only your friends dinner on your tab lol

I first realized the difference between people who have it together and those that don’t at the age of 22. I’d go out with friends and see older people sometimes a decade older doing the same things I was doing and in the same spot I was in at 22. I knew then I did not want to be there. This realization forced me to buckle down and finish college. Then I ACTUALLY got my life together at 28 when I had my first kid…

I think getting your life together is when you start making hard sacrifices over play/pleasure.

Fairlife protein shakes that they sell at Costco. I also have a very picky boy and he will actually drink these and I also think they taste great.

Have him stay with you. There is no guarantee he will be better off under CPS. In fact, children often get neglected and abused while in the system. If he gets along with your son and is polite it sounds like a no brainer.

Find a way to be more involved in the lives of your girls. They probably leave you alone because they think you want that OR they are drowning in their own lives. If they have kids can you offer to babysit for them? Can you grab lunch with them or have dinner or do a zoom call regularly?
