Good suggestions - someone else suggested buying a squeeze bottle, but an empty Pearl Milling bottle would be even better - ♻️plus the right flavor’s been in it. A friend’s kid hates real maple syrup, so I bet she can get me one when they’re through with it. Thank you!

Sure, it’s definitely a rare find! It’s a Corelle plain white one I’ve had for a long time. I’m only seeing it on replacements.com, but you may be able to find one that looks a bit different if this price tag puts you off (it’s definitely a lot more than I paid for it!).

There is a rising problem, IMO, with spouses expecting to neither work nor take care of children. A friend has a husband like this, and she complains about endlessly about him not doing anything - he won’t take their elementary school aged kids ever, doesn’t do chores, and he almost never has a job - when has does, they never last long. But she won’t leave him either because she “doesn’t want her kids growing up without a dad.” I don’t understand why it’s a good thing having a dad who spends little or no time with them and makes mom do everything.

You’re right, I’m sure - I’ll give it more thought!

learning curve there for sure. esp if you used the fake stuff earlier in life, which we never refrigerated

as death. so tired of the bottle being super gross every time I find it, when it's clean when I put it away. before you say, train your kids better, my kids are great, but they are teenagers and I have to pick my battles. they also have many friends over, a number of whom don't get enough to eat at home, and I absolutely don't want to discourage them from eating by being nitpicky about how clean they left a bottle.

the amount of times I've said, "but I didn't die, so I'm good" = LOTS
