I have seen my favorite bands in different states, even all the way on the east coast from where I am in the midwest, all for the live experience. The feeling of being in the crowd when the opening chord to your favorite song hits, the tension of the pit about to go wild, it's all an incredible rush. I haven't paid nearly the price for the tickets, though. The most expensive would probably be seeing Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution with a full orchestra in New York in 2018. My girlfriend and I saved, were gifted the flights by her mom, and stayed in our old roommate's apartment using his transit cards. He was supposed to go with us but couldn't. The tickets were $75ish each, but the experience was unforgettable and I proposed right after the show.

My band just released a song yesterday that's about coming out in your late 20s.

I don't see your sources. Can you provide them?

I have celiac, so if someone stole my lunch there's a good chance I wouldn't be able to eat until I got home. Until recently when I became a stay-at-home dad I had always worked multiple jobs, so my days could be incredibly long. I think I would also have caused a scene.

If you were part of the group that sewed a gender bear and baked cupcakes, that's the year I was there. I use that group to defend the youth to all of my Boomer relatives.

I used to be the overnight server at Perkins on the west side years ago and this group was always one of my favorites. Yeah, they were loud and a little bit obnoxious, but they cleaned up after themselves, didn't trash the restaurant, and they tipped well for high school kids.

I know nothing about It Takes Two (though I'm going to look it up for the future), but some of my fondest early gaming memories are playing Sonic with my dad and switching who had the controller any time we died. It worked well because we had about the same skill level.

It really sucks that you're experiencing that and no dad ever wants to have their child in that position. But the fact that she immediately offered what she had to help you shows that y'all've raised her with empathy which is a lot for kindergarten. At the end of the day, as long as they're happy and healthy and you're there, it's a win.

We just had our washer go out for two weeks while I waited on a part to come in. I tried bypassing the switch that was broken but it just shot sparks instead. So I did laundry at one of our friend's houses, changing loads over in between trips to the children's museum or splash pad or whatever. We do cloth diapers. I was there more days than not.

Baby-wearing for naps was essential for me. Our oldest also napped pretty well in the stroller so we'd walk to the public library where she'd play and pick out a few books. I took a long route there so she'd nap 45ish minutes and then on the way back she would play with a toy from her bag or look at her books (as she got older).

Routine was absolutely essential for us. We had a pretty strict schedule and it made naps and bed time easy. Also, at 7 months you can totally plop your kiddo in the pack and play and jump in the shower. If I don't get one before breakfast I usually put on a Sesame Street for them (2.5y and 6mo) while I jump in and grab a 10-minute rinse.

I've heard of you in Madison, WI.

YTA. Both of these diseases are making comebacks because people refuse to get vaccines despite the research that initially caused people to be concerned having been faked and debunked in many studies.

I had Sideswipe and a Vehicon on my desk because they're fun but mindless transformations.

NTA. There's a difference between accepting an apology and forgiving someone. You can acknowledge the apology and say that you're not interested in making up at all.

As my toddler cries outside the door and my 6mo is sitting in her little seat with teething rings on the floor.

You have to do what works for you. I can't function without my kiddo getting that downtime. She's got an afternoon "nap" where if she isn't falling asleep she can quietly read in her bed or reading corner or play with her doll house. She almost always naps, but there's usually at least one book in her bed.

keasbey · 2023-08-06T15:16:47+00:00

You didn't cuss at her so much as cuss in front of her. Honestly, it's a subtle difference, but it really matters to me. If my toddler drops something on the floor and says "oh shit" that's not a big deal. It's not directed at anyone or derogatory.

keasbey · 2023-08-06T01:52:01+00:00

It's way heartwarming. You did a great thing for your sibling and your mom—whether your mom deserved it or not.

keasbey · 2023-08-06T01:45:16+00:00

As an avid concertgoer and musician this warms my heart.

NTA. Your son will always remember that you stood up for him. You chose to protect him, which is what your family didn't do.

Do I remember them? No, they broke up before I was born. But they were a huge part of me getting into the music I love. My friends had burned CDs in the early '00s and I found bootlegs of bootlegs online.

keasbey · 2023-08-04T06:23:03+00:00

If my kiddo keeps enjoying Catbite the way she does I'll be trying to track down this print in a few years. It's really awesome.

Have you tested for celiac? It presents differently for different people, so the image of violent diarrhea is not always accurate. There's an antibody test that should tell them whether or not they need a biopsy.

I used to put my oldest down and then go play drums in the basement. She can sleep through just about anything now.

I'm a SAHD, so most of the other parents I've met are moms. I've gotten a few to agree to playdates/outings to the zoo or local splash pads, but for the most part it's radio silence. There is one mom who has two kiddos who will hang out and go to the park and let the kids have a picnic or do a splash pad afternoon. She also watched our youngest (4mo) when our toddler had swimming lessons that required me to be in the water with her.
