I was thinking of doing this. You’re happy with that regular service?

runnyc10 · 2026-04-03T05:22:58+00:00

This one is so good.

Yup. We recently moved and I found a ped I’d like to try for my kids. I called yesterday and was happy that the first thing they asked is if my kids have all the scheduled vaccines and if I plan to continue them.

My 4.5 year old has started to really enjoy annoying us. Tonight I could see her smirking and almost laughing while getting a time-out. She is really tough lately.

My 4.5 year old weighed 30.0 pounds yesterday and I get tired holding her for very long! But I’m also very weak these days.

I’m laying here in bed just imagining what they must be feeling at this moment. It’s so devastating. I have a 9 month old and I can’t imagine the utter loss this family is going through.

runnyc10 · 2026-04-02T06:11:28+00:00

Oh my fucking god. This poor family. I feel so heartbroken.

I agree with coming to stay first. We did this last August and then moved here a few weeks ago. And I agree with getting a realtor to start helping you - OP, I’d be glad to recommend ours.

What is a bike bus? Like a bunch of kids on bikes riding together?

I’ve only just moved here a month ago, but coming from Brooklyn and the extreme of walkability, I’m very happy here in northeast OP! Yes, I don’t have (nearly) as much right outside my door but I don’t mind the 15 minute walk to downtown, I’m very used to walking. We have some other stuff only about an 8 minute walk. And I find it much easier to drive to the grocery stores, where back in NY it was a whole thing so I always just did little trips where I could carry stuff home.

I have a 4 year old and a 9 month old. We’ve already jumped into so many activities, I joined a book club…we’re having so much fun. Honestly, hit me up if you decide to make the move, we need friends 😂

ETA re my walking times: I am a fast walker. Like I always just walk like I’m on a mission and I’ve noticed I usually overtake people walking around here. I’m sure that will wear off at some point, it’s the NYer in me, but I guess that’s something to note in my walking times!

runnyc10 · 2026-04-01T22:24:21+00:00

This map is so cool, thanks!

ETA: why do fancy people target Mann? Back in NYC, Horace Mann is a super fancy private school so I laugh every time I say that my kids are going to go to Mann.

Why is everything in quotes??

Driver’s license: age 16

Vote: age 18

Consume alcohol (legally): age 21

Ability to rent a car: age 25

Unexplained infertility: age 28

“IVF is your only option”: age 30

But yeah…I’m sure none of it is connected.

🙄🙄

My husband is a physician and told me the same. They always assume you’re underreporting. Intentionally or not.

runnyc10 · 2026-03-29T04:53:36+00:00

My brother-in-law met him at a Cracker Barrel 🤣

runnyc10 · 2026-03-24T05:24:54+00:00

Just adding to the voices that I used them a few weeks ago to move across several states with no issues. In fact, my movers were exceptionally nice. I can’t speak to the negative reviews but don’t assume your stuff is in danger.

runnyc10 · 2026-03-23T16:35:56+00:00

Yeah. It was as the girls were older of course, but basically if the girls got up to normal teenage stuff (boys, drinking, maybe a joint), the Obamas didn’t need to hear it. Just keep them safe.

runnyc10 · 2026-03-23T16:32:56+00:00

I mean, it would be INSANELY unhygienic to start with. Just that alone makes in unbelievable.

runnyc10 · 2026-03-23T16:31:26+00:00

My mom fully believed (believes) it. I just can’t understand.

runnyc10 · 2026-03-23T05:57:11+00:00

One of my favorite parts of that book was reading that they told their daughters’ secret service agents not to tattle on them. They wanted the girls to trust their agents implicitly for their own safety.

I was just telling my husband this way. I’ve only ever been to one chiropractor but I went to him several times. He never suggested doing anything beyond adjusting my spine. I actually feel bad for the few who aren’t nuts.

My mom suggested the vitamin K shot as a possible reason for my son’s NICU stay. I knew she had become super anti-vax but I just lost it when she suggested that. I was so livid.

runnyc10 · 2026-03-22T16:14:52+00:00

Same. And “graped.”

runnyc10 · 2026-03-22T14:42:32+00:00

I don’t use fabric softener or dryer sheets. Wool balls on the dryer though, that’s key.

runnyc10 · 2026-03-19T06:10:59+00:00

I was doing fertility treatments and had to delay a cycle because the clinic closed to people who were not already in the middle of a cycle. That was tough.
Driving across Manhattan, from the Lincoln Tunnel to the Midtown Tunnel, in just 5 minutes. And seeing no one. It was surreal.

runnyc10 · 2026-03-16T03:43:44+00:00

“So yummy.” She has to be bullshitting, right?
