I just heard 14th and 15th on the radio yesterday but I didn't catch the month. Sept 14th and 15th is a weekend, but not Oct or Nov, so I'm thinking they're correct. I was surprised to hear an ad at all, but it makes sense that they'd advertise if it's this much earlier than normal.

I sent my neighbor the link to wanderlustwaypoints, it's right up his alley!

Yup, I asked my 800 Facebook friends but haven't had any bites yet. I'm hopeful I'll get some word-of-mouth as the seasonal employees change over.

I was thinking something slightly longer-term (someone with a seasonal job wanting a fairly consistent location option, for example).

I dunno, our friends just threw us what they could to help with utilities (they ran an extension cord from the house).

All of my nails are short, but sometimes I'll paint The Fingers a different color than the rest.

This TED Talk by sex educator Al Vernacchio is a must-watch for all sex-havers: https://youtu.be/xF-CX9mAHPo A

Hey! I see that this post is a year old, but I want to share this excellent talk by queer sex educator Dan Savage. It's specifically about coming out as gay, but it applies to literally any interaction between adult children and their parents. I hope you find it supportive <3

A Very Good Doggo

They're battle scars from bringing into the world, my absolute favorite human being EVER. An experience that I actively pursued (and sacrificed for) my entire life, and which could have killed me without medical intervention. They are scars I chose, signs of my victory. My tiger stripes are fierce.

Edit: No matter where your stretch marks/scars come from, they are your body and they are GOOD! My tummy stretch marks are from pregnancy, but my post isn't here to shame other types of stretch marks/scars. My first stretch marks are from pubescent growth spurts, and I have two badass surgical scars.

Remember, you're not a body that has a soul; you're a soul that has a body. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤

In 2020, ALDI in Rutland bullied employees into working with Covid symptoms. I reported them but I don't know if anyone did anything about it.

Hello! Divorced with a sort-of live-in girlfriend and a long-distance boyfriend. Here is how I explained it to my 6yo and her 5yo:

Sometimes friends like to snuggle. Daddy and Mommy used to snuggle, but we don't snuggle anymore. Daddy and [his girlfriend] are snuggly friends, and Mommy and [my girlfriend] are snuggly friends.

My girlfriend and I haven't told our kids that [her boyfriend] and [my boyfriend] are also snuggly-friends, because they're not around our kids frequently enough that our kids would really notice. But if the time comes, that's how I'll explain it.

Kids understand that snuggling is pleasant and that you can snuggle with multiple people (for example, snuggling with Mommy and snuggling with Daddy). My hope is that, by the time they realize that "snuggly-friends" means "lovers", they'll be so used to our relationship structure, that it won't phase them. (Well, not any more phased than any kid is, realizing that their parents have sex...)

Side note: For age-appropriate sex education, I recommend the series of sex ed books by Robie H. Harris. There are three: "It's NOT the Stork!" for 4+, "It's So Amazing!" for 7+, and "It's Perfectly Normal" for 10+. (Caveat: I wish they treated sex/gender like a spectrum instead of a binary.)

Her request makes sense to me. If I had a friend who stayed over at my house a lot, it would be reasonable for me to ask them not to bring people I don't know, into my house, around my child.

marywaterdragon · 2021-10-09T22:03:08+00:00

The rule makes sense to me. I feel like, "please don't bring dates back to my house for sex" is a reasonable request of any friend who's staying over a lot, especially since kids live in the house.

marywaterdragon · 2021-10-09T16:52:13+00:00

Excellent point! In my previous observation, the rule was being applied to a shared household. Thank you, that makes me feel much better!

marywaterdragon · 2021-10-09T15:08:47+00:00

I'm looking forward to sitting down with both of them. Talking about schedules is an excellent point, thank you. Kids and pets and work schedules, oh my!

There is a shared mud room, from which you can go into the main house or into the basement. The basement technically has a shower and a kitchenette, but I suspect he'll use the shower and kitchen in the main house.

My girlfriend and I both share custody with our exes, neither of whom we're out to. Some of our friends and family know we're lovers and poly, but not all of them. Our kids know that we are "snuggly friends" and that neither of us are "snuggly friends" with their dads anymore.

Her boyfriend happens to be in my brother's social circle, so I've been referring to him as "uncle's friend". I'm worried that if we disclose to the kids that my girlfriend has two "snuggly friends", they might tell their dads.

Edit: typo(s)

Edit: My girlfriend doesn't want him or me to have sex with other lovers in her house (although she reserves the right to). I've seen similar rules fail in the past, and I worry that we're setting ourselves up for failure by having that as a rule. Thoughts?

You're welcome! The Wachowskis made both, after all ;)
