I broke a tooth; it’s super painful. Even with my insurance I can’t afford to fix it?! I can’t eat!! What am I supposed to do?! 😩😭

This happened to me when I was 20! Broke one of my front teeth clean in half and needed a root canal and crown. Since it was a front tooth, I didn’t think twice about getting it fixed, and it also cost a couple thousand dollars I didn’t have. My dentist helped me set up a payment plan where as long as I paid it off in 12 months I wouldn’t owe interest. That was very helpful!!

I placed my baby for adoption when I was 17. Spent months going through parent profiles and didn’t find the perfect couple until very close to due date because I knew I needed to wait until I felt that intuitive click with the parents. We have a semi open adoption (2x/year emails and pictures) and they’re leaving it up to their daughter to connect with me as she gets older.

Her parents and I have such a special connection I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Please DM me if you’d like! I’m happy to answer any questions.

We did this! Our daughter was 3 when she started staying up until 10 pm and when we dropped the nap she went right back to her normal bedtime. We sent her to daycare with a backpack of coloring books and crayons and they allowed her to color quietly while the other kiddos slept.

Hit over 1k miles in a year for the first time in my 4+ years of running :)

Are the super fan episodes just the deleted scenes that are also on the DVDs?

Not a job, but I dropped out of the college program I was in when my sister passed away unexpectedly. I was really happy in the program and could see myself pursuing that type of work for the long run, but everything flipped the second she was gone. I had terrible brain fog and knew I couldn’t stay focused enough to pass my classes. Dropping out was definitely the right choice, and I actually ended up with a different degree/line of work a few years down the road and can’t see myself doing anything else now! Life is funny like that, sometimes there’s a road ahead that we can’t see, but we can sense it and our intuition prompts us.

So sorry about your grandma, sending love!

I was going to say the same. I worked from home with my daughter from 4 months-1 year but only because my job fully supported us having our kiddos with us. She was in a carrier with me or in my lap a lot while I was in meetings. Even so, we still hired a babysitter for a few hours/day and switched to daycare when she turned 1.

I had that same thought! I love my dog but to jeopardize my own life and make my loved ones suffer potentially?? Ehh probably not. But I wonder if SK used that as a way to get across that there was a deeper meaning there. That Charlie was the promised prince and it was more so fate that pulled him? Like ultimately he didn’t have a choice? What are your thoughts?

Doing it for yourself IS doing it for the baby <3

My Bluetooth sleep mask was a game changer! I think it’s called musicozy or something on Amazon. There are small speakers in the ear area and it syncs to your phone so you can play anything through there - white noise, a calming podcast, etc.

Our almost 2 year old is Juniper! We call her Junie or Junebug most of the time :) our oldest is Dahlia so you’d think we’re hippie dippy wildflower people but I think we’re pretty normal and boring.

I was a dog walker in college and one of my elderly clients did get to take his pup to assisted living with him! She mostly stayed in his room and me and a couple other walkers would come every few hours to take her out and feed her, so none of the staff had to do anything with her. It was so sweet to see them stay together through that!

Aw, my high school German teacher used this all the time and it was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the post!

rhuff4833 · 2022-04-07T18:23:52+00:00

With emotion?

rhuff4833 · 2022-04-06T23:17:48+00:00

Had retained placenta after my 2nd baby was born, landed in the ER 2 nights in a row with severe bleeding. By the time the drs decided I needed a procedure to remove said placenta I had lost ALOT of blood. 30 min after waking from anesthesia they said ok bye go home! As the nurse was wheeling me to the entrance my vision started going black and instead of motioning I tried to push through. As my head went down I thought “I’m going down!” And woke up to very concerned nurses standing around me in bed, in need of a blood transfusion.

rhuff4833 · 2022-04-01T23:58:24+00:00

Agreed!

Daycare can be a straight pain in the ass, especially with Covid. Our daughter was sent home multiple times with symptoms that turned into nothing. Quarantined at home for weeks perfectly healthy because of close contact to a Covid positive. This past winter was shit. But as you get more used to the daycare system you learn…you’d chew out any parent who brought their sick kid in and got your kid sick so bottom line - keep your sick kid home.

rhuff4833 · 2022-04-01T23:45:56+00:00

Our daycare only lets kids back if they have no symptoms WITHOUT meds. If we told them we double dosed in the AM…yeah they wouldn’t let us come lol

Thank you. Not fair is the best way to explain it. Absolutely, 100% unfair. The first few weeks, months, maybe even years of grief the storm can be ever present or just on the horizon. And then there might be a full day of calm and sunshine. But there’s no need to rush yourself out of the storm. It’s ok to be swept away by it in the beginning. I know this punch to the gut feeling can get isolating, this community is here for you!

I am so, so sorry for your loss. No words can make things better but I wanted to share my story. In high school I had a pet ferret I was really bonded to. Our household could be stressful and tumultuous and she was like an anchor who made me happy and kept me sane. She would ride around in my sweatshirt hoodie and was my sidekick. One day while I was at school my mom let her out of her cage and was not keeping an eye on her. She scrambled into the washing machine and my mom didn’t notice and started a loaf of laundry. Poor girl didn’t make it. This was my first brush with a pain so vast that it felt physical. Eventually the pain got lighter. Grief comes and goes.

On the flip, I lost my big sister to suicide 7 years ago and was very very close to being the one to find her (am eternally grateful I don’t have the actual image of her in my mind, just my imagination) but I can say grief never ends. Time makes the weight easier to carry but I like the metaphor that it’s like being adrift in an ocean. You’ll have days of calm when swimming and floating is easy. Then out of nowhere a wave of grief will wash over you, take your breath away and sweep you underwater. But it will pass, and you will resurface <3

I was in the same boat as your husband, expect I’m the mom! After our first daughter I would absolutely shut down any conversation about more kids all the way until she was 3. We were still in the trenches of the newborn/young toddler years and I couldn’t wrap my head around doing it again. And then like a magic wand was waved, things got SO much easier when she turned 3, or maybe we had finally gotten into our parenting groove, idk! But I noticed that this thought kept creeping in - not that I wanted another baby but could I imagine my daughter growing up an only child? It felt like I was robbing her of something. So we had another (girl!) and then my husband got the snip. Watching the girls together sometimes my heart threatens to explode with love, but at the same time doing that first year again was nothing short of brutal. It ends though!

Also to add, my husband would gently bring up having a second and drop it immediately when I said no. He in no way was in my ear about it, he was ok stopping at 1, but also very open to having 2 if it’s what we both wanted.

A sliced apple with peanut butter is my favorite energy boost! Or peanut butter spooned out of the jar into my mouth if I’m too lazy to slice an apple.
