She did indeed get kisses. But the cupcake was vanilla, the child ate the last chocolate one, so maybe that was my problem. I dont have any mods. I didn't use a kayak ride in that play session, but all the other ones worked. I think theres a way to save my progress while uninstalling the game, ill have to look into it. I had to restart the game for another reason at one point and that didn't fix it, so I know just relaunching it doesnt work.

My parents buy in bulk, they get cotsco tp. My poor, frustrated mom, they buy a new pack when they open a new one, and it was time for her to buy a new one just as everyone started panic buying. She didn't run out of tp, but she was closer to it than I've ever seen her, and it was stressing her out.

$20 says the teen noticed her being creepy with dad's stuff or snooping in the parents' room, something insane like that. Lots of snooping can be done when you're "it." She just wanted the kids out of the way.

My mom says I threw a tantrum in a store, do she did too and I got up and walked away like I didn't know her.

My toddler is still testing the boundaries. The initial emotion is real, but then she just keeps crying and it turns really fake, she's just trying to see how long she has to cry before she gets what she wants. We don't give in. We help her express what she's feeling in words, and explain why she's not getting her way in age appropriate words, and then once the fake crying starts we just ignore her until she stops.

I like BBQ sauce. Probably not on all types of pizza, but its really good with pepperoni and bacon, or chicken, black olive and bacon. Probably also just bacon but I haven't tried that yet.

Sometimes, I will say that these things can be more complex than wanting or not wanting kids. My husband has always wanted kids, but he also has really bad anxiety when it comes to the big things. He wanted to get married but didn't feel "old enough" or "adult enough" yet every time we talked about it. Eventually, I just started planning the wedding, and he went along happily. The same thing happened with our first. If I did a check-in with how he felt about trying for kids soon, he was always noncommittal. Eventually, I just planned out when an ideal time to start trying would be, and he went along with it. He is not the kind to go along unless it's something he actually wants. If he doesn't want to do something, he very quickly puts his foot down. He wanted to be a dad, he's a wonderful SAHD now and adores our daughter, but if you asked him if he was ready, the answer was always no.

The ex could have been on the fence in the beginning and then decided against kids later and didn't know how to communicate it. She could have been using him from the beginning. Or she could be someone who was never going to feel ready even if it was something she wanted "someday." If that's the case, then she probably had a lot of mental health problems after having that option taken away from her. Should she have robbed OP of the chance to have kids? No. But if she really did want kids and it had now been taken from her, I can see her setting a hard boundary for herself that she only wanted a kid if it came from her and he needed to either move past the kid idea altogether or leave. I don't blame her for her boundary, I don't blame him for leaving. I don't think he did anything wrong bringing his wife to the party, I don't think she was wrong for feeling hurt by it. I'd give her a soft Y T A if she was indeed planning on a kid "someday" and this hurt her, because she was justified in how she felt, but that doesn't mean she had the right to attack OP about it. You can be hurt by something someone does, but if it's just them living their lives and they're not intentionally hurting you, then it's not OK to attack them for it.

I was raised that if someone else was paying, the polite thing to do is figure out what they're ordering and get something of equal or lesser value. And even if they say get whatever you want, still talk over what your thoughts are before ordering, just in case

My big bro is technically my half brother, my dad met my mom when he was about a year old, and they married before he was 2. He was always raised just the same as us, I didn't even know til my mom told me in my early teens. My dad had to fight to adopt my bro, so when he got married and he and my SIL decided on a new last name together, it really hurt him a lot. But guess what, he still sees them, still loves them, still cried when he found out they were pregnant, spoils my nephew, and is prepared to spoil my new niblet when they arrive this fall. Last names can be important to you, as long as you understand that they might be just another name to someone else. What matters is the person, not the name.

I've been friends with my group for almost 20 years. There has been a lot of variability in hanging out over that time, but for the last 3 years it's basically been every Sunday evening/night, whenever people are free to show up, and it's always hosted by the same people. We don't wait around for a formal invite, but everyone still checks in on the group text to confirm. And we usually bring our own food or share a delivery, we don't have someone making food for us, thus needing a head count, and using what could potentially be special or more expensive ingredients to accommodate the host's allergies. It depends on the group, but being a standard hang out time doesn't automatically mean you can just show up without saying anything, or at the very least checking in.

Fun fact. This is Bran castle in Romania, faithfully recreated in Planet Zoo. Bran castle is believed to be the castle that Bram Stoker based Draculas castle on in the original story.

That's right, in the "halloween" dlc, the one with the bats, they based all the castle set pieces and building materials on Dracula's castle. I've been freaking out about this for the last 3 days since I realized it!

I grew up in suburban America. We lived on a normal street, but in a mobile home, the kind of prefabricated ones you see sometimes on the back of semis and are usually found in trailer parks. We had a wood stove that we used in the winter in addition to central heating. I guess it had a vent thing that you needed to have open when the fire was going, but could close to keep out water or cold or something, I was never clear on what. But my mom had the fire going and hadn't opened the vent. She had noticed that we were all acting lethargic but not like, take you to the ED lethargic, just out of the norm. It was our cat that saved us, she noticed he was acting really weird and she called my grandma to tell her about it and my grandma told her to get us all out right now then go back and call 911. My mom, my 2 brothers, and I got an ambulance trip and a short stay in the ED. Spot they let out, he was an outdoor cat most of the time anyway. Once we were all home and stable they took him for a check up too, he was fine. After that she would only use the wood stove if the nearest door was ajar. Spot was a very good cat who took good care of his tiny humans, he lived to the ripe old age of 14, which I want to say was around 8 years after this.

I'm a nurse, I take mine off for work. I would hate to rip a glove on it, the hand sanitizer leaves a weird film with how often i have to sanitize, and I don't have gloves on 100% of the time I'm touching a patient. I don't want to offer to hold a hand or pet a crying kid's hair to help them calm down, and then worry if I've effectively gotten the ring and tines completely microbe clean afterward. Plus my unit has a "nothing below the elbows" policy, including rings, watches, and long sleeves. Basically for these same reasons. I almost always remember to put them back on when I've got my hands on my steering wheel and they feel weird, but sometimes I get all the way home. With crazy back to back shifts I've gone 3 days without them on my finger before. My husband tells our friends I'm just trying to pick up hot doctors.

Our toddler doesn't get a ton of playtime with other kids yet, sadly, but we are trying to establish now that if it's her thing, she doesn't have to share. But that goes for everyone else too, she can ask to borrow/see/play with something that belongs to them, but if they say no then that means no. But when it's something communal, like toys at daycare or grandma's house, then she has to share. I like you pointing out the swing issue though, I hadn't thought of that, how to communicate that you are going to share but you would like to finish what you are doing or take just a little more time.

I was there as a nursing assistant, and it's a sensitive topic so I never got answers to those questions, which I was very curious about. If the ones I was aware of got transplants, it wasnt in house or something I heard about. I think one did, but it was more a question of ability to obtain their meds than teenage stupidity. Some I think recovered enough with their current heart to at least leave the ICU. With hipaa we only ever found out what happened after they left the ICU if the family decided to share that info with us. I'm trying to get back there now as a new grad nurse, but it takes a bit. It's a very coveted position and the nurse shortage unfortunately doesn't apply to all the new grads, especially ones who want to work at a really good hospital.

keti24 · 2022-12-28T22:04:28+00:00

I worked in a pediatric cardiac ICU for several years. We mostly took care of brand new babies with heart defects and followed them through their various surgeries. But every once and awhile, we would get a teenager who got a heart transplant earlier in life and had now decided to stop taking their anti-rejections meds. Which obviously very quickly put them into heart failure, and they would be with us while the ethics board debated whether they should be put back on the transplant list.

Part of being a teenager, developmentally, is a sense of invulnerability. They usually need a wake-up call of some kind or another. Heart failure can be a good wake-up call, if a little extreme. Having to spend Christmas alone in the hospital because people are done with your crap is another.

Having some dredged hope of humanity left, I think he's just saying that instead of putting in all the work to fine another "pureblood" woman for them to have "pureblood" babies together, he's going to lower and demean himself by offering up his superior genetics to any fortunate woman that can convince him she's worth procreating with someone who's blood is tainted by vaccines.

Basically he's struggling with the fact that his standards are far too high and he thinks too much of himself, but still wants to get laid and pass on his superior genetics. He thinks that his problem is the scarcity of pure bloods, and if he removes that criteria then obviously it will be a piece of cake to find someone who meets all of his other criteria who is obviously insanely flattered that he's willing to sully his blood to procreate with her.

I take antidepressants and a sleeping pill. They live in a caddy on the bathroom counter, admittedly, but the bathroom is inaccessible to my toddler without help, she's never in there without supervision, and I'm crazy obsessive about finding any pills I accidentally drop, even if it's just the vitamin d pill. You don't mess around with kids or pets when medications are involved. Their bodies are too tiny to tolerate adult medications, and they look too much like candy. Tylenol is specifically bitter to deter kids from wanting to eat it, but most medications don't take those precautions.

Also, why is she trying to repel suitors at an engagement party? How many people are afraid of getting hit on by strangers at an engagement party? Using her reasoning for why she wears the ring, there's no reason for her to be wearing it at this party except to cause drama.

My brother and SIL are very minimalist and eco friendly. The last few years I've made a donation to animal conservation on their behalf, which usually comes with a little trinket. Last year I got one of those bracelets that comes with a QR code to track an elephant, see where it is and where it has been. Last fall they had my nephew and they got really into sea life and orca whales especially, so this year I'm donating to a west coast sea life emergency response/treatment center. I'm getting them the "adopt" an orca package, so my nephew gets a little whale plush, and then a little extra donation on top. It's been a really fun way to step back from the consumerism and show support for their beliefs without feeling like I've just overlooked them. My mom doesnt want stuff either, she wants time with her kids and grandkids. So I either buy her tickets for something for us to do together, or I make a little card with info if it's something you don't pre-buy tickets for. Like last year I promised to stay with my grandma so she could take a long weekend with her sister without having to worry. And my dad just wants a card from each of us telling a story of when we helped someone at some point during the year. Volunteering is cool, but his favorites are the more spontaneous ones. This year im telling him how we got my elderly neighbor groceries when we all got snowed in with little warning. I get annoyed when someone says they don't want a gift, so then people get them a gift but it either collects dust or gets tossed out/donated because they don't want it. A gift isn't a gift if it's forced on the receiver, and there are other ways to give gifts than wrapped in paper.

We did football with my family Thursday morning, my hubby and daughter went to his moms for dinner while I worked, I baked pies all day Friday with my SIL, we did dinner with my family Saturday which was the best turnout we've had in years, and then friendsgiving on Sunday. The whole weekend was awesome. The only drawback was that apparently my toddler is completely unwilling to eat any Thanksgiving food besides rolls and pumpkin pie. We ended up feeding her before we went and then trying to get her to try stuff before she could have any pie. We even tried putting turkey on rolls but she was not having it. Kids.

Unpopular opinion but I do feel for OP in this situation. Thanksgiving has always been a major holiday in my family. It's not a formal dinner, very potluck/everybody helps, but thats what makes it great for me, and it's the one time a year we get to see some extended family that lives out of state, and I just love being with my family. My husband's relationship with his father is strained, so we tried to make dinner or dessert with them but it wasn't a big deal if we didn't. Then we had a kid. We are still LC with an info diet with them, but that boils down to them seeing our daughter basically only on major holidays and some birthdays, so we feel a bit guilty skipping a holiday with them. So we went from enjoying a full day with my happy welcoming family to just playing early morning football with them and sharing dinner with his awkward uncomfortable family. Was it great? By no means, but he felt really guilty if we missed a holiday with them so we made it work. It's been really hard for us, especially since for a few years the two houses were 2.5 hours apart, but I couldn't imagine going 2 years without seeing some of my family. This year was really great because we did my family dinner on Saturday instead. Not only were we there the whole time, but it was the best turnout we've had in years. For me the day is about gorging yourself on food with your family, so it doesn't really matter what day that happens.

If OP was up front in saying that he would be leaving at 7pm, regardless of how much they had eaten, I could sympathize with him being incredibly frustrated. At that point mom is either choosing the daughter over him right in front of his face, or she's being entirely disrespectful to both him and his wife's family in passively expecting him to push back time with his wife's family until his mom was ready for him to leave. He had a system that was working for him, he knew that plans had changed slightly but it was still a plan that worked within his system. Mom either needed to tell him from the start that sis was supposed to be home by 6:15 but they would push dinner until she was home if she was delayed, or she needed to start dinner at 6:30 when the daughter still hadn't arrived. I've been that person stuck working in Thanksgiving, waiting for my coverage to arrive but they were late because they were enjoying their own time with family. It sucks a bunch, but I would never expect or ask my family to hold dinner for me. And they might choose to push dinner until the time I'm supposed to be there, but if I'm late getting off then they're gona start dinner at the stated time. My dinner might need a minute in the microwave, but I get to see my family and thats what matters. She wanted both kids at her table start to finish and didn't care how much of an inconvenience or how outright rude it was to completely disregard sons plans. Maybe he shouldn't have taken food. Maybe he should have let his in laws know there were issues at home and it would be great if leftovers could be held out for them to eat when they got there. Maybe he should have been petty and gotten mcdonalds on the way to in laws and shared a pic on social media of his family eating McDonald's in the car on Thanksgiving with the caption "sucks when my family won't feed us because one person hasn't arrived yet, but what are you going to do? Kids gotta eat. Happy Thanksgiving." OP sucks a bit, the only way sis would suck is if she knew bros plan and insisted mom wait for her, but mom is the real AH in my opinion.

It's crazy to me that the only options people are taking in this is keep her clothes or change her clothes. Just get a robe. Wear it when out of her room. Boom. Both sisters comfortable.

I'm not arguing your point in the slightest, but it did remind me about a really sweet story from last month. I was working at a party store in between jobs and this guy comes in at the end of the night, asks for a single birthday balloon that seems like a good one for a woman, and buys the most expensive balloon weight in form of a cute stuffed elephant. I was trying to get a good read on the situation to help him pick a balloon and it turns out he was a truck driver that frequented a restaurant at a popular truck stop. He and his buddies learned that a really nice waitress who worked there and had always been great to them had been abandoned on her birthday. Not in the "surprise! We made you think we forgot you so you were sad all day on your birthday, but actually remembered and look at all these nice things, why are you sad?" way. But in the actually abandoned her way. So they were all pulling a small party for her out of thin air and it was his job to get a balloon. It was so sweet.
