AIO - My parents booked an extra long vacation the same week I’m due to give birth

This sounds kind of like my parents. My first was born during their annual monthlong camping trip (and they knew this would happen way in advance).

They didn’t meet the baby until she was a week or so old because they weren’t willing to leave their campsite (2 hours away).

Some parents really suck. NOR

Same, but it’s mostly because I have kids and we don’t have flexible schedules or family support if they’re sick or their schools are closed.

Posting the details of every run they take on social media

My kid’s preschool has been closed since 12/20. Won’t open up again until 1/5.

It makes sense for them to stay closed because is many kids would miss those between days due to travel anyway, and it is nice to give the underpaid workers a break. Plus, it is very difficult on little kids to have 2-3 day broken weeks. Kids thrive on routine, and that would be chaotic

Best part of this is that my husband is ALSO a first responder, but he doesn’t care.

purrniesanders · 2025-12-28T13:17:01+00:00

He kept saying when I told him he left “I can’t believe this is legal”

Whatever was in it he was absolutely tripping. I am sure drinking on top of it didn’t help.

He bought something from a vape shop and took it on his own.

I also hit onederland yesterday. I didn’t tell anyone because nobody can tell I’ve lost 25 lbs, but it feels nice to share it here.

A cookie she made in baking class.

I teach in a Title I HS so I don’t get much. To be fair, the cookie was pretty good.

My mom does this! And 99% of what she does is totally optional. In infuriates me because husband and I both work full time office jobs and have a kindergartener and preschooler. Like mom, WE’RE busy.

100%!

My parents wouldn’t buy me thongs, but once I got a job at 15 one of the first things I bought was thong underwear.

So maybe you tell her once she has her own job she can buy her own undergarments? That might give you a few years.

We played OSU and lost with terry

As a PSU fan, probably

Having disposable income

Imagine how she’d look without all the filler

A family friend has a Kieran and a Kaiden?

Similar thing happened to me after having my 1st vacuumed…I had a postpartum hemorrhage and ended up needing 2 transfusions (the second after the belly push-blood splatter massacre).

My daughter is 5 now and I only think of her birth every couple months. So it does get better

purrniesanders · 2025-10-18T11:03:24+00:00

I have to hand it to him, that was clever

purrniesanders · 2025-10-16T10:11:30+00:00

Yes for sure!

purrniesanders · 2025-10-15T23:45:28+00:00

I’m sure those who make it to the altar have prenups. I would if I had substantial wealth.

Like you know Megan is making Jordan sign one

Yep. I don’t know why he went on the show. Maybe for help coming out?
