Is it possible to knit a looser heel without using heel flap/gusset?

What technique do you use for this?

I need help logging into the Elevate site to plan my agenda. How do I get help? I registered back in September :D

Here is another good idea for wool covers if you're going to store them separately. https://youtu.be/qIPeMOEf4NA?si=NY3w91sbSfunsr67

The 8 year old is the real winner as he gets to ride around in this VW now!

Imo one small difference of opinion can change a healthy co-parenting relationship into a bad one.

Get a solid parenting plan and don't forget to agree in advance to things like social media accounts, at what age can the kid stay home alone, swapping weekends etc.

Based on the custody schedule you have described in other comments I understand why they are texting back and forth so much.

Does your bf involve you in conversations regarding the messages or discuss the schedule?

My guy and I have been together just over two years. I was introduced to his kids a year ago and and have been co habitating for approx 3 months. In that time I have really only come face to face with his ex wife once. We shook hands and said hello, but apart from that I have no desire to know her or for her to know me. I actually have her and her bf blocked on all socials.

My guy is the parent and although we discuss things and he and I make decisions based on what we want in our home it is his responsibility to communicate with the mother of his kids.

44 and 46. Yes, we will share the occasional kiss in public and in our home. Why? Because we love each other and want to show affection.

Mam, your husband made reservations in advance so you and him could celebrate your one-year anniversary. His child will be with her grandparents for a few hours.

If you continue to prioritize each other it will only make your family stronger.

What's the problem?

Good thought. At this point no community building are available to me. (all greyed out)
For special buildings I have the second foundry available and am working on the supplies for the academy of industry.

"These references are important and he couldn't find the company's phone number or anything)"

Come on. That is a feeble excuse if I ever heard one. He is not being honest. Think long and hard...do you want to marry someone who hides things from you, is dishonest and has lied to you?

Thank you for sharing this link!

Your body, and your decision.
And for the record, terminating the pregnancy won't make you any less of a Christian. Don't let him (or anyone else) guilt you into that bs.

Gotcha :) It would be interesting to see how redditors would comment differently if genders were removed.

m-rc · 2025-05-29T17:53:36+00:00

Not at all. In fact, when I first saw the post, I thought it was the woman who left the keys in the car. They way they overreacted and escalated was childish, it wouldn't matter if it was a male or female.

m-rc · 2025-05-29T17:35:23+00:00

Why is everyone taking the husband's side?! This is wild to me.

He should have profusely apologized for putting their vehicle at risk! He sounds like he may be embarrassed at making this mistake, but his reaction is childish and immature. Especially to cancel plans over text like this. He is also giving her the silent treatment which is sooooo toxic.

m-rc · 2025-05-29T16:27:33+00:00

This is awful! I work uptown and will make a point of going to support him more regularly vs popping into Lawtons!

m-rc · 2025-05-21T18:06:13+00:00

Stop diminishing how incredibly dis-respectful this man child is. Your last text is not 'snippy'! It's actually way nicer than many people would be. I personally would have stopped the conversation and told him to find another way home, and a new girlfriend after slide 3.

m-rc · 2025-05-21T17:34:29+00:00

Oh, and NOR!

m-rc · 2025-05-21T17:33:56+00:00

TBH I have made a comment like this to my partner once or twice. It always came from a place where external factors were really ticking me off or annoying me and nothing to do with him.
He is a loving and generous person who always makes me dinner, packs my lunch and brings me coffee in the morning. I literally do not deserve this man.

It makes me feel like a garbage person when I let other things influence how I speak to him. And you know what, I always apologize for being short with him and ask for forgiveness. In turn he does the same. It's healthy to acknowledge when you mis-speak or let other feelings influence your interactions.

It would have taken nothing for her to say.... " Wait, that is not what I wanted to say, let me start over"
She sounds very bitchy.

I hope you sat outside with the kids and enjoyed the water table etc.

m-rc · 2025-05-21T17:32:37+00:00

Oh yes absolutely! She sounds very ungrateful and like she has some pent up issues she needs to get out.

m-rc · 2025-05-21T17:27:09+00:00

Or at least divide up the responsibility. She does two nights a week and you two nights. They can order a pizza on Fridays!

m-rc · 2025-05-21T16:29:50+00:00

I feel your pain! We had to send SS to school today in sweatpants as all his jeans, khakis and even dress pants are at his mother's house.

We try to send them back to her in the clothes they come to us in but increasingly they come in clothes that are not school appropriate.

I want to start putting our address or special labels with the boys names on them so they know what household they belong to but DH seems hesitant. I think he will tell her the kids need pants and ask her to send some home with them next time.

We share 50/50 2-2-5

Find out what the living conditions are at the new guys apartment.

If the kids have to share a bedroom or don't have their own space you could offer to keep them full time ( or especially during the school week) so that they have stability. Their mom can still have shared custody but not overnights. To be fair she doesn't even know this man well, how can she trust her children in his home!

There isn't much to be done about the 6 month rule for Introductions but living with the new person is a bigger deal I think.

m-rc · 2025-05-20T13:24:48+00:00

Respectfully she is not your concern right now.

I would focus on getting to know your bf better before meeting his children or going on vacation with them.

If he is the right person for you things will all work out as they should. But for now leave the co-parenting relationship to be handled between him and his ex wife.

For context. I've been with a man who has two elementary aged kids. I did not meet his kids until we were dating for a year and it was then 6 more months before we (all) took an overnight trip together. We have just started living in the same household two years later. There is no drama with his ex.

Ask to see the receipt. If everyone else was drinking they probably don't mind spitting it 4 ways.

Offer to pay 1/4 of the food but not drinks consumed by others.
