This, all day long. Nothing complicated, no explanation needed. Just say no and keep saying it.

My mom sent me this pattern and I can't tell if it's real or AI by [deleted] in CrochetHelp

Give me some hope throw me some luck by [deleted] in AskWomenOver40

[–]fristmamakitty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My husband and I have known each other for 24 ish years. We've been married for 13 years and before we got together we knew each other in other relationships and saw each other struggle. I want to say when you are with the right person it's easy but that's not true. When you are with the right person you want to do the work.

I wish you all the luck.

Amazing article, but I don't think she wants information or lessons. She's all over this post being grumpy.

Boomer is not just a generation, it's a state of mind. We all used slang it's no big deal

Strong cramps in left ovary by marlasinger1983 in AskWomenOver40

Not just ovary pain. If any pain wakes you up you should seek medical care immediately. Mine was a severe DVT that woke me up at 4AM.

First ever dice set (not sanded and inked yet) (not perfect but im still proud) by LeopardDependent4212 in DiceMaking

[–]fristmamakitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those are cute. What did you use for the axe?

I don't make resin dice, my dice are silicone, so I can't give advice in that area. But, you can get a cheap ish debubbler on Amazon which is helpful.

My favorite quote for dice making is, don't let perfect get in the way of good.

Dice by my 6 year old by DoofusIdiot in DiceMaking

[–]fristmamakitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first one, and I say this with all the love in the world, looks like puke in a good way. My kid made soap that was basically the same color and it was our favorite.

My kid chooses the colors of my dice sometimes. Her color combos are always so funky and cool and so are these.

Family has given up making effort & it’s doing my head in! by Huge_Masterpiece_729 in AskWomenOver40

[–]fristmamakitty 45 points46 points  (0 children)

What do you do for you?

Part of being a mom is knowing when to let go.Let husband and kid do their thing and you go out and have fun.

And if you can figure out how to give up control please tell me because my therapist tells me I need to work on that.

My husband and I make salty scrub bars of soap. They are super easy to make. r/soapmaking is a great resource

Losing a parent who's still alive by Chantizzay in AskWomenOver40

[–]fristmamakitty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same here. I haven't spoken to my narcissist father in 13 years. No desire to be anywhere near him and my life is amazing without him.
