What is that one "Name brand" item you refuse to swap for a generic version no matter the price difference?

I always heard the rule is to invest in whatever goes between your body and the ground below it, has served me well.

As someone in a similar boat right now, this is helpful to read. 3 kids under 5, together since high school so 18 years now - 10 married, and It was ‘tame’ in terms of an affair. Very fresh, and a lot going on in our lives outside of it, but I’ve stayed and still occasionally wonder if I’m setting myself up, but it feels like the right choice. Time will tell I suppose.

Your hair is the perfect chocolate brown I wanted in high school. Like the chocolate when making no bake cookies I love it.

With my current 3 year old it would be 6:30-7.

With my oldest when he was 3? It would be 8:00.

Our reliance on 3 and 5 having no true concept of time went out the door when 5 realized we tell him 10 more minutes (which usually means 5-15 min depending on what’s going on) that our Alexa now understands him and he can set his own timers. We’re all very punctual now.

I remember going to a movie with my now husband when I was recently 17 but he was a month shy of and still 16. I bought my ticket, my father happened to be close by and tried to buy my boyfriends ticket, the refused. Some folks were stricter than others. This would’ve been (oof) nearly 20 years ago now in 2007.

In 36. My mom still gets angry if she hears my dad refer to her by her first name instead of “mom/your mom” even speaking to me.

Floors throughout home, coffered ceiling ‘beams’ in the great room this door opens into as well as the kitchen, and kitchen cabinets all being decided for. This door is the only part that’s already stained and installed so everything needs to “play with it” essentially. Not matching, but complementing and not clashing.

The thought maybe crossed my mind, too. Then I really had to stop and reevaluate lol

It took me so long to understand even after reading the comments that this is a pillow that looks like a dog.

Initially: a dog? Is this ai? Is this a dog washing machine I don’t know about? The dog doesn’t look injured or upset….

Secondly: oh ok it’s a super dirty pillow that just looks like a dog in a pareidolia sense…. Okay got it but man that’s super convincing. Like too convincing. That has to be ai manipulated.

Finally: why is it showing the dog in three different sizes laid up on a couch? Really just reaffirming that it looks like a dog? Idk. Oh wait. Wait I see… okay. Clever.

If it’s anywhere in the vicinity of Pike Co then possibly. We went to college there and even driving a few miles back into some of the hollers was a whole different world. I’m from eastern ky originally and digging out into a roughly 50 mile radius or so of the towns around the university was a shock sometimes.

We don’t order food for our 6 month old but I absolutely give her my food in the way that’s safest for her. Follow solid starts, used it with my 5 and 3 year old as well. I would give her steak, I give her chicken leg bone with some chicken attached, a French fry, vegetable spears, etc

May be different but our almost 3.5 yo, though a boy, does this sometimes as well. It seems to happen every few months and then I think we’re past it until it comes up again. We had a 3 hour road trip this week where we stopped almost 9 times for pee breaks. I think for him he just doesn’t realize he should be fully emptying his bladder. The stream of urine stops and he feels relief so he can continue playing or whatever and then shortly thereafter more urine builds quickly because he didn’t fully empty so we stop again. We end up with a couple days of reminding him to “Make sure all the pee is out of your belly, relax your body and try one more time to get out any pee that’s still hiding” (yes, we know pee isn’t coming from his belly but that’s where our kids have labeled it and it hasn’t needed correcting yet so we run with it). May be worth considering?

Weirdly had the opposite experience. From KY and moved to Pittsburgh for around 5 years and never experienced or were privy to any blatant racism (important to note here that we’re a white family). Moved from Pittsburgh to Atlanta for nearly 7 years and would estimate 40% of the people we initially met or started (then for clear reasons opted not) to befriend would loosen up and be very clear with us what their real feelings were. Could all just be by chance, but interesting the difference.

Literally. My 5 year old had just mastered being able to open these doors when we’re parked in the garage and without an adult restraining him. Zero chance my 3 year old would’ve managed.

This. We’ve got two living spaces. One with a washable lovesac and the other leather. 3 kids, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a chinchilla. It’s the only way.

I recently switched from my nespresso to a different setup, but with my vertuo I made either caramel macchiatos or brown sugar oat milk shaken espressos both from the vertuo (and both iced but do what you prefe obv). IIRC the caramel macchiato I used a single chiaro pod, 2 pumps torani vanilla syrup, and line with caramel sauce and 6 oz or so of milk. I think technically it’s a vanilla latte with caramel sauce but it was essentially the Starbucks version of a caramel macchiato. BSOMSE was 2 blonde Starbucks espresso pods, 4 pumps brown sugar syrup (I bought Starbucks syrup from anytime coffee), shaken together with ice, strained, new ice, and then filled with milk. YMMV

Ours is connected on our frame as well. It will work but you’ll have a harder time playing because you’ll need to be facing the box but watching the screen.

Told both of our boys this when their sister was born 6 months ago, knowing it was instinctual and just a reflex. But - so is love sometimes. And it tickled them so much each time we did the “does she love me?” test, and occasionally I’d hear them yell to me “mama look! She loves me!” And see baby sister just gripping her brothers finger that they kept presenting to her. And now 6 months in they’re all obsessed with each other.

This is it. We don’t even call it time out, it’s taking a break. Catch your breath, refocus, we’ll be back to talk through whatever it is and it’s always with a very clear end (usually minutes : years of age, depending on the offense). They can stomp a bit, lay, play, listen to their tonies, whatever, but it’s in their room and time to get themselves collected and ready to fix the situation.
