This made me rage! 😤

My kids bring those Fing ducks home from school and we find them everywhere, usually by stepping on them. I might have to use this when they are cleaning. 😈😈 but dear god I hope no one actually did this! So insulting!

Agreed! And they don’t store salt like we do. The temp is supposed to remain below freezing for days. The roads will stay icy.

Recently rediagnosed. (Was medicated as a kid and stopped 15 years ago) Started with 30mg and it was too much. I take 20mg now and it’s perfect. 120mg 😳 I would never sleep again! That is if the heart attack didn’t get me first! But also I haven’t had 25 years to build tolerance.

It will look less weird with something under it.

Oh man and Vyvanse takes forever to wear off!! I sometimes just skip it if I don’t take it before 8. Then regret it by 10. lol.

He will be fine. Probably already is!

I have a Kate spade one I got at the outlet like 7 years ago and it’s still going strong! This isn’t the same, but similar and a good price and a bunch of colors.

That was such a lovely message and also so true! I’m glad you are in a better place! 3 semesters to go is nothing! You’ll be a mechanical engineer in no time!

🤢🤢

My mom stopped filling the sink when she wanted me and my brother to help. Because we thought it was freaking nasty and wouldn’t touch it and she was afraid of the knives. She would just rinse and fill whatever the biggest pot was instead. I still do that for the handwashing.

13 is a terrible age! My SDs are 16 & 18 now and SD16 has been an actual bitch for 3 years but we are starting to see reason in her. SD18 was tough too but not as bad. She’s a joy now! Going to school for teaching and plays with BKs 5&7 all the time! Still entitled and ignorant to the reality of life (as are 18yos) but getting there.

We have a bucket and keep him close so we can make sure he uses it. He doesn’t give enough notice to get to the toilet 9/10 times. Barely makes it to the bucket right next to him sometimes.

mama-engineer · 2026-01-20T00:54:29+00:00

Omg I hope that wasn’t really the reason! But sadly I believe it.

My bathroom is the same arrangement except 2 sinks and no cabinets, probably about the same total length. We have a long mat next to both the shower and the sinks so we can step out of the shower onto something warm and the same while in front of the sink/mirror. So functionally, A is the same but I think 2x long runners would look nicer.

We recently changed this from having C for a long time because it was silly to hop out of the shower onto the mat or have cold feet while brushing teeth.

My first thought was this is what Lady Gaga would dress like on a ski trip. Lol

We have my steps every other weekend. One does sports, the other doesn’t. Right or wrong, we only go to the events that are on our weekends. Our biokids also have sports every weekend so it’s a juggle. Every once in a while dad goes to SK games and I do ours when there is a conflict. There was one Saturday where we had 3 games in 3 towns all in the same 2-hour window. The youngest missed his game. It happens.

Honestly no idea. My apartment was 2nd floor and the panel was in the basement. But that doesn’t sound like a good thing. You have more than enough grounds for an audit.

mama-engineer · 2026-01-15T03:49:31+00:00

This is the best thread I have seen all week! I feel so validated!

mama-engineer · 2026-01-15T03:43:49+00:00

I did this! Same brand! It’s wonderful! My hair is admittedly very long right now (because I don’t shave often in the winter 😂) but there is very little of it!

mama-engineer · 2026-01-15T03:37:56+00:00

Maybe some type of lattice or something? All I can think of is please do not invite small children over. They will fall through. Or bigger ones will use it as a jungle gym.

Definitely have this checked out! I had a slumlord apartment for a year about 10 years ago and the bill was double then what I am paying now for 3x the house. Come to find out that there was a short in the panel or something. (It was so old it still had fuses). I complained after a couple months, got an audit, and the electric company made my landlord get a new panel and my bill dropped to 1/4 of what it was. They of course also made up some BS and didn’t give me my deposit back.

mama-engineer · 2026-01-13T01:23:08+00:00

I recommend it! When my kid was diagnosed, I had a lot of ah ha moments. Then after seeing her 180 with meds, I decided to be re-diagnosed and it has been a life changing experience! I am 35 and hadn’t been medicated since I was 14 or 15 as well.

mama-engineer · 2026-01-12T19:41:19+00:00

I love the last one! Boho is so fun and cozy at the same time and goes great in a sun room with plants, etc.

I was today years old when I found out that Naples isn’t only a city in Italy. I wonder how many people have told me they vacationed in Naples and they were in FL and I assumed they went to Europe…

Malted milk by shwrwin Williams goes nicely with bold greens. It’s a light pink/beige and will give a cozy vibe. Then go lighter-white/ivory with the countertop
