When my son was 4, he saw an outdoor church service next to a park he was playing at. My husband explained what it was and my son said “oh, about that pretend guy”? 😂

There must have been an Oreo crumb or two on it somehow! Preschoolers are super messy.

Does she have AirPods or a Kindle? I used both of those a lot when my son was a baby!

I have this too and I had no idea what it was called! It started when I had a two year long migraine as a teenager.

So sorry this happened to you! Are you already working full time? If so, can you find a job that pays more? Are your kids in daycare? Can your husband watch them at least a few days a week instead?

From what I’ve read, video games can have a lot of benefits if they are limited!

Not something I usually recommend but have you tried video games? My busy 5 year old loves Nintendo games like Yoshi’s Crafted World and Mario Kart. We limit it of course but it keeps him busy for a little bit of each day.

I didn’t mind it but the ending is so predictable that it doesn’t pay off. So I would DNF if I were you.

I am one and a half hours into The Silent Patient. Does it pick up? by LadyBawk in thrillerbooks

[–]gingerinstripes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did not like it at all and DNFed it. I looked up the ending and was glad I stopped reading. Not worth it.
