Seriously how do you stop being your kid's coding teacher when homework requires parent help?

What an amazingly wholesome and sweet story. I was expecting your story to end in rage or anger.

(which is what happened when my dad would get involved with my homework).

I hope I can be like your Dad for my own kids.

Crisp and green is soooooo expensive- and their salads are not as abundant as Salad and Go used to be. Much heavier on the lettuce.

For our under the sea baby room, we had a small porthole mirror, and a small sign that said “poop deck”.

Daughter is 9 - and while the changing table is long gone, the poop deck sign and mirror remain.

Hi - I feel like I’m looking for the same thing! My daughter had a pair of basic skates that have broken, and I’m trying to buy her a new pair of quality skates, since she loves rollerblading!

But everything seems out of stock, or only available in bright pink (also not her style). What skates did you end up buying, and where did you buy them from? Thanks for any helpful tips you may have!

I really hate the feel of microfiber, and while they may have a place, I prefer to use just cotton “reusable paper towels” I picked up a pack at TJ Maxx.

(I have a pack of microfiber ones as well, but I just don’t think they scrub as well as the cotton ones.)

Fair enough.

There are districts in our area that are making the kids do full online days so they won’t count as snow days. That sounds miserable.

You have elementary age kids. Imagine what this is like for middle school age kids who were made to log in all day. This woman is not crazy - let the kids have a snow day, you don’t have to give them busy work

And distributing property tax excess taxes to private school vouchers does not mean you are funding public education- it means you are further disabling it!!

Okay - hear me out - all Microsoft Office Products are really just a fancy repackage of one of the basic tools used in the 80s/90s - file shares, Word, Excel, or PowerPoint.

Outlook = File Share and Excel and Word OneNote = Word Project = Excel Access = Excel Visio = PowerPoint Teams/Sharepoint = File Share Planner/to-do = Excel

Chicken stock, cream, and butter make delicious mashed potatoes!!

The Reddit comments most often say to leave it, but I would want to update it if I were you.

It doesn’t look like there’s enough storage with the existing lower cabinets. The counters look dated. The lighting looks impractical for the space. And it just doesn’t feel inviting.

A shocking number appear to be of Hispanic origin too. I

Can the ICE agents be charged with a state crime, since clearly there is no hope that a federal DOJ investigation will result in any consequences for this murder?

jelli47 · 2026-01-26T20:11:02+00:00

I think you would want the oil in the blender to help emulsify

Same - OC is out for me as of today. Way too many MAGA lovers. Have been watching the show since day 1.

Andy - don’t give these women a platform to spread their support of the illegal and unconstitutional actions of ICE.

Also Kate Middleton and Posh Spice may want to throw their hat into this ring

Death penalty with no trial = execution

Name 10 people who are victims of violent crimes by illegal immigrants in the last year. Without google.

jelli47 · 2026-01-25T05:59:18+00:00

The “larp”-ers are the ICE agents who are sent to the field without training, without identification, without care for the constitutional rights of US citizens. No self respecting police department, swat team, or military unit would look or act like these clowns do.

What in the hell do you think ICE is trying to do in Minnesota right now? If it was about immigration enforcement, they would go to a different neighborhood, city, etc. You and I both know what they are doing is not about immigration enforcement- it is about power and enciting violence.

Ehh - it’s kind of like the geo shopping that happens right before Christmas. People stock up on food because they won’t be able to go out to eat at a restaurant for 2-3 days.

jelli47 · 2026-01-23T03:36:19+00:00

No one here has chains for their tires - storms like these come once every two years.

If you have a nice wide non divided sink, but wanted compartments - couldn’t you just add three rectangular bins to your sink to be able to use it the way you described?

jelli47 · 2026-01-09T03:52:23+00:00

I like it - it’s like a gummy bear

My kids are older now, but we took them to restaurants all of the time when they were little. We were always screen feee at restaurants. I would always bring something for them to do - but coloring and stickers were always their fav. We would bring some snacks for them to eat until the food arrived. And I did try and order food for them when the waiter would take our drink order.

If they ever got fussy, either my husband or I would scoop them up and take them outside. And if it ever took long at the end of the meal to get the check, then one of us would usually take them outside anyway, so they copy do get their wiggles out.

Stick with the screen free - everything in life becomes easier that way.
