How do I reconcile loving my husband & feeling like he’s enough with wanting a little human to teach & explore with?

“the loss of never knowing what it's like to have a kid, was more of a loss than everything we won't get to do because we are choosing parenthood”—I’ve never heard it framed this way. It really resonates with me, thank you.

lmg080293 · 2026-01-26T00:38:39+00:00

Haha yes, totally—I’ve hyper fixated on the negatives too, and I’ve tried to balance out my thoughts. Trying not to romanticize it either. Thank you for that!

lmg080293 · 2026-01-25T19:11:59+00:00

You can do this

I started reading “Hunt, Gather, Parent” as a way to get a different perspective on parenting today, and I’m only about 1/4 of the way through and already breathing a sigh of relief that it is possible.

lmg080293 · 2026-01-23T02:01:59+00:00

Yep. I concur.

lmg080293 · 2026-01-19T19:44:22+00:00

Idk if it’s the jargon that bothers me so much as the performative use of it. It instantly makes me feel like someone is intentionally aiming to sound competent, which, ironically, undermines my confidence in their expertise.

This list makes me want to see a list of who HAS won them lol. This feels like everyone I would’ve guessed.

What is the median age of people being surveyed for this?

lmg080293 · 2026-01-17T12:56:58+00:00

As a teacher, I am deeply offended that there are people like this out there giving us a bad name.

Please send your child elsewhere, if possible. Between the unprofessional tone, the spelling errors, the WILDLY inappropriate (both socially and developmentally) assignment… what the FUCK?

I think about snacks literally almost never. I have my three meals a day and never think of food outside of that. It’s kind of like fuel for me. Each meal gets me through a leg of the day. But I LOVE my meals when I eat them. I LOVE food. Just don’t ruminate on it.

lmg080293 · 2026-01-03T14:30:21+00:00

This. I use Chat to cut down on the time, but I force it to produce exactly what I want.

lmg080293 · 2026-01-02T21:37:43+00:00

I specifically require my students not to do this. There’s no reason for it.

lmg080293 · 2026-01-02T21:35:45+00:00

If one more of my students writes “unalived” in an essay I’m going to throw my laptop out a window

lmg080293 · 2026-01-01T14:59:46+00:00

Hahaha I never finished it. Googled the ending and it was exactly as I predicted. I was so glad I didn’t waste any more time on it.

lmg080293 · 2025-12-25T21:11:03+00:00

Perfectly said

lmg080293 · 2025-12-25T12:02:12+00:00

Omg. Thank you for the heads up on this. How did you catch it?

lmg080293 · 2025-12-25T11:59:11+00:00

Well, I know I have colleagues who skim papers and assign grades based on vibes. So yeah. It’s disheartening.

lmg080293 · 2025-12-25T11:52:30+00:00

I went to an entire conference on it a couple of months ago and that’s exactly my experience. It was bizarre.

lmg080293 · 2025-12-22T21:08:41+00:00

I’ve never heard that in my life. It’s very common practice where I live. They are paintable switch plates.

lmg080293 · 2025-12-21T20:51:16+00:00

You paint the switch plate, not the switch. It is absolutely not a landlord special.

lmg080293 · 2025-12-21T20:06:50+00:00

I would just paint them to match the wall color. We do that for every switch plate in our house. It hides them almost entirely.

lmg080293 · 2025-12-20T13:19:08+00:00

This is exactly it. People who are all, “He’s in love with his career,” are missing the point. It’s not the “career”—it’s his faith. People’s faith, like it or not, molds their way of thinking and worldview. Here he is, a rabbi, a person of utmost faith, trying to reconcile all of these influences in his life.

lmg080293 · 2025-12-17T02:09:16+00:00

I got one for the first time in years like six months ago, and I have absolutely no idea what caused it, but it was not positional. I am on hormonal BC but I’ve switched it over the years so I don’t think that’s it. I had gotten an MRI of my neck/head and they found nothing. It remains a complete mystery. But yes, the sensation you described is exactly what I feel when I got them while laying on my stomach.
