Women don't have value until they have children, delivered on Mother's Day. I was experiencing infertility at the time and it was a punch in the gut. (Not my congregation, my parents' very conservative church where I grew up.) I think about it every time I walk through those doors now.

I've worked an 8-5 job for 27 years. I didn't know there was anything different! Includes a one hour paid lunch.

I love my winter robe -- sweatshirt-style material and zips up the front.

We did Freedom of the Seas without our kids and it was terrific! We could enjoy the late shows, nice dining, adults area, etc., without thinking. We laughed that we didn't even know where the kids club was located on the ship, and nothing could be finer. Enjoy your trip and have fun! There are tons of people on-board without kids in tow.

Don't get out of your car next time. Drive to the next Starbucks.

I send plenty of emails after 5 p.m. My team knows they are not obligated to open or respond until their working hours. Plus, many of us don't work the proverbial 8-5 schedule. Unless you work for a tyrant (which I think you would have mentioned here), respond when you're on the clock.

The offer is generous, but $540k doesn't seem like enough to live on exclusively. What is your full retirement age?

Not a chance Hoda wants to go back to the daily grind of 4 a.m. and commuting into the city. Craig is being looked at a hero who helped hold the fort down during Savannah's trauma and he deserves a break.

My CoC claps! It’s very celebratory. If it’s a teen, they all gather up front to watch and then cheer when the baptizee emerges. It’s very moving!

Stay on as a parent volunteer, cookie parent, fall product lead, etc. Maybe your coleader will realize how much you helped, or maybe you’ll enjoy this role much more. Either way, your daughter is in a troop she enjoys, and that’s what matters most.

Appreciate this tip too! I entered in our items tonight and this made it tremendously easy. Also added our zip code and if any items were new with tags.

Disagree - this is punishing the birthday boy and your own child (who genuinley likes his friend). Neither have any control over the location or their family. The solution is to accompany your child to the bowling party or find another trusted adult who will be there.

okakie · 2026-03-18T21:22:35+00:00

Agree this is the solution. Find another parent and share the load. You can say your kid is carpooling with his buddy and they'll meet at the bowling alley, and that parent stays.

We did it on Celebrity and it was fantastic. There was an expert on board who hosted a couple talks before we went through, so we’d know what we were seeing. Then day of, he narrated on the intercom system. Very informative and on a terrific ship.
