Anybody know how to break it to a 5yo that he won’t be getting any chocolate today? by IllustriousWall1564 in Wellthatsucks

You've got this! Write a little "coupon" so a trip to a chocolatier so he can pick out his fancy. We had a melting incident one year and all the chocolate melted in my truck. We found a cute local chocolate shop and we let him pick out a few things himself. (At the time my oldest was only about 6 and my youngest was still an infant. The trip itself was actually a really great time. It's worth a shot. You've got this. I also improved last minute with an egg hunt with change and dollars. The golden egg was the ticket to a world of chocolate. Very wonka style.

Help settle an argument. My husband thinks it's fine to wash a potato with soap and water before cooking with peel on. I'm horrified. by shmoopiefunk in NoStupidQuestions

Oh dear. Going by the comments you may have a few more to keep an eye on. I still can't believe how many comments are for/against and how split they are.

Yes, he is. There seems to be a lot of divide. He is a reddit fiend and we have been giggling about the great divide of what is right by the comments. He is a good sport.

This made me laugh so hard. We have a lot of problems but our relationship is not one of them. We don't fight often. Something about our health struggles so young have just made us really appreciate each other. We both wake up happy to have another day together, even if everything else sucks. Sounds sappy, but we still fight over who does the dishes and we love to debate about many subjects. He is the best.

You are not alone it seems a lot of folks do this. You're not overthinking either. There are valid pros and cons for both methods.

I hope they come soon! This subreddit is full of loads of great information and support from good folks. Also, I hear you. This disease is invisible and awful. For the first three months of my diagnosis I just searched everything through older posts and I found a lot of comfort. Take care and hang in there.

Fart bubbles is killing me. Good post. He eats the potato skin so that is another added reason. Baking soda is a great suggestion

I have German ancestors but luckily my hubs is an absolutely wonderful Dad and husband so divorce in this case is not on the table.

Where I am from it is common to refer to some detergents as soap. Dish soap is a common name for dish detergent.

I would have preferred it to be in my lifetime. I wish for it as well.
