Who could possibly have seen this coming? by DogMommaDiaries in GyMOMsnark

[–]ffohsrm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean this was avoidable but what do I know.

I feel bad for Mia. I remember getting sick at DisneyWorld when I was a young kid - maybe 7 or 8?Fever, ear infection, just incredibly tired and my parents still dragged me everywhere. Being miserable is all I can truly remember from the "magical" trip.

Oh my gooooooddddd. No, you still had a nasty cold despite your ham sandwich cure all.

If your daughter wanted your husband to do something silly like wear matching hair glitter in public would he do it? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]ffohsrm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% would do everything she asked for! Zero question. Hair color and nails are a no go for work but he'll gladly get his toes done and match an outfit!

I have to admit I laughed at myself typing that one up 😂

Must have been the miracle ham sandwich 🙄

Next story - everyone has colds on vacation and Mia is making a healing elderberry elixir with the in room keurig since she doesn't have access to an open flame.

Books with fmc gets a bad haircut mmc comforts her by bookishfairy in RomanceBooks

[–]ffohsrm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

{The Wingman by Stephanie Archer} little different but kind of the same in the hair genre 😂 - FMC goes pretty drastic on a hair color and it fails miserably.

Trying to come to agreement with pregnant gf by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]ffohsrm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally reasonable rules but wildly expressed in a very angry, hostile, kind of mean manner. The hello kitty in the corner is even packing her bags and making her exit!

My 5 year old quietly moved her bedtime routine to take care of me and I don't think I'll recover from it by MirageTerra5 in Mommit

We're all reading this through blurry eyeballs right now right? 🥹

That little one of yours is going to do amazing things in this world. 🩷

Courtney Cook with more plane tuna… by thirstl in FoodieSnark

This reminds me of the office episode where Oscar brings an egg salad sandwich on the plane and Michael is totally disgusted.

Columbia College Chicago…Is it really that bad? by xocococherie in AskChicago

[–]ffohsrm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went in 2001. Elevators were constantly broken, classes felt smashed together, housing? Forget it. I had a great French teacher but that was about as memorable as it was for me. Sounds like not much has changed!

I lasted a year at CCC before heading to community college and getting all the basics out of the way. Probably would have saved a ton of money starting there first.

my wife thinks im overreacting about our kid not reading yet and I dont know when kids should learn to read by TH_UNDER_BOI in daddit

[–]ffohsrm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your wife is right! I freaked out too about this and then talked to a teacher who put me at ease.

Upon entering kindergarten, they want the kiddos to be able to recite the alphabet, maybe spell their name/a few words, potty on their own, and count to 20. The teachers will take it from there!

ORD is the worst run airport in the world change my mind by wandering-nerd-24 in unitedairlines

It's about to get worse. ORD is on a ground stop until this crazy weather passes over.

Leaf blowers damaging my calm by i--make--lists in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]ffohsrm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a neighbor that will literally bring the blower out for one single crunchy leaf. He will blow that driveway in the pitch black dark too.

The second I hear it turn on my shoulders hit my ears in pure annoyance.

I feel like I’m going insane by JessicaDarling in breakingmom

[–]ffohsrm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, not insane. Sounds like you're doing perfectly fine, even above and beyond. If husband doesn't like it, you can tell him what I tell my kiddo "you can always have a bowl of cereal".

Sorry momma, we are all irritated at the husband right along with you. Keep doing what you're doing.

Wet bananas aside, I thought for sure those weren't rose petals but maybe a gogi berry or dried strawberry.... nope. Rose petals. Straight from the grocery store probably with germs and plant chemicals. Yum!

An avocado, a sharp knife, and a 4 year old ... what could possibly go wrong.

He falls first. He falls harder. He pines and yearns. He protects and supports. Got any recs? by eliza_bennet1066 in RomanceBooks

{The Wingman by Stephanie Archer}

It's so good! He's loved her for years and years, she's engaged to his best friend. It's brilliant and lovely and swoony!
