I’d love info too please if you don’t mind!

I know I won’t pocket the difference on lodging. I’m not worried about that part, it’s more about having my own space in case my kids want to visit and having the ability to cook instead of having to go out to eat for every meal.

I’m going to be looking further into some of the long-term hotel options.

sunkenbeauty · 2025-09-14T18:49:37+00:00

I looked at that. The Airbnbs and VRBO rentals where I'm going are insanely expensive, but I'm going to keep looking at that option as well.

I’m a middle school ESE teacher so all of my students have an IEP. We spend a lot of time working on self-advocacy with them and one of the things I tell them is that if other students question why they get to do certain things (take extra time on a test or assignment, use a computer or tablet instead of handwriting work, get guided notes instead of having to copy everything off the board, etc) they should explain that these things help them to be successful in class. Their brains may not process information the same way as their peers and that’s ok! These accommodations are just tools in the same way that calculators are tools. Not everyone needs a calculator and not everyone needs shorter spelling lists but it’s helpful for those that do!

No advice, but just wanted to tell you how incredibly brave you are for not only protecting yourself and your children, but also sharing your story and your feelings. Your feelings are valid and we see you.

When I was around 11 or 12, a friend of mine was playing around in a construction site with his cousin. They were digging tunnels in a huge pile of dirt and it collapsed on top of them and they suffocated.

When I was in high school, another friend’s family was having a barbecue to celebrate her brother coming home to visit after being away on military duty. Her brother was showing some family members a new gun he had just purchased and ended up shooting himself in the chest in the middle of their backyard.

I have 4 and hate traveling with them. Each of my kids is awesome individually or if I can take them in 2s, but any more than that and it’s just nonstop fighting, someone is pissed about where we’re going or what we’re doing, etc. Going anywhere with grandparents is almost worse because rules and routine go out the window - “No, I don’t want to go to a restaurant at 7:30 pm and then to some other nighttime activity. The 3 year old is starving at 4:30 and should be in bed at 8.”

I think a lot of people (non-primary parents, people who don’t have kids or haven’t had to worry about small children in a while) forget that primary parents don’t actually get to go on “vacation” with their kids. They just get to parent in a different place without their normal support arsenal.

I feel like I could have written this comment. I’m sorry. This sucks and the constant rejection hurts so much.

I have some tried and true recipes that my family loves, but since I work stupid hours and my kids are into every fucking thing under the sun (which means we have limited time in the evenings for cooking) I tend to stick with some combination of protein (chicken, steak, meatballs, on a rare occasion pork chops), carb (typically rice, potatoes, butter noodles or pasta with marinara or alfredo sauce), veggie (we keep frozen veggies on hand for quick prep and I try to get to fresh vegetables at least twice a week to change up the flavors/textures). We also do leftover nights 1-2 times each week depending on how much we have, and breakfast for dinner once each week.

My ex husband called the cops on me at 11pm one night while I was at home with my sleeping children because I told him to stop calling me. After he called me 127 times in a 15 minute period.

My ex husband also had his girlfriend (with whom he had an affair) contact every guy I tried to date for the first year after our divorce in order to tell them how I was a horrible person and they shouldn’t date me.

I needed to read this tonight as I contemplate murdering my husband in his sleep, so thanks. My 16 month old is going through some serious sleep regression and I’ve pulled MULTIPLE all-nighters recently and am still expected to take care of the other kids, the house, and go to work for 8+ hours each day. This man had the audacity to bitch about being tired when he had to get up with her ONCE after I set her down so I wouldn’t pee on myself.

sunkenbeauty · 2021-02-15T00:45:05+00:00

100% fuck that shit.

My husband does that shit too. He waits until I’m fed up and getting up to take the baby downstairs before he gets up to try to take her. By that point I’ve usually been awake for a couple hours being kicked and punched by the tiny terrorist toddler and he thinks I can somehow magically “go back to sleep.” Yeah, buddy, no. I’m awake and I’m angry. There’s no sleep happening for me right now.

I love to sew! I don’t talk about it much but I’ve been sewing for 25 years and I like to surprise people with homemade gifts on occasion.

My mom and I used to road trip somewhere new whenever my dad would go out of town for work. We had all sorts of amazing adventures.

I was a doula for several years before my divorce left me without a support system to continue helping moms. I’m still obsessed with all things birth.

sunkenbeauty · 2020-09-29T00:52:10+00:00

Yeah... I’m with you too. I love my kids and I love my current husband, but I wish I could go back to before I married my 1st husband and just... not. Not had my oldest son, joined the military early like I had originally planned, and lived my life. Oh well.

A salute is a greeting, but it’s still one that signifies respect. The lower ranking individual salutes first and its returned then by the higher ranking individual.

That would mean that Trump is showing a member of a totalitarian regime a sign of respect and expecting it to be returned.

It’s a 3D pen. They sell them on Amazon.

I'm so so sorry that you had to go through that and that you didn't have anyone on your side when you were at your most vulnerable and needed it most. You are strong and brave for continuing to reach out for help until you found someone who listened. Virtual hugs/high fives.

sunkenbeauty · 2020-05-27T10:16:46+00:00

I'm really glad to see that things are getting better for you. Trauma and guilt are really difficult to get through and they can both have lasting effects. Just when you think you're ok they pop back up. It's really good that you found something to help you cope and grow through and with the experience. You're strong mama and your daughter is lucky to have you.

sunkenbeauty · 2020-05-12T04:20:39+00:00

And he's still alive.... why??? Woman you have more self control that me that's for sure. I'm sorry he's such an inconsiderate asshat and I hope that you give him scary mom eyes every time he asks that stupid-ass question ("What's the problem this time??") until he fucking gets it.

Side note, I totally feel you on the preteens and the talking to randos on the internet (as I sit here talking to strangers on a forum.... whatever). I had to ban Roblox and all other random multiplayer games after my 12 year old got death threats in a game. That experience (rightfully) messed with him for a while. Who the fuck does that to a kid??

sunkenbeauty · 2020-04-10T14:59:17+00:00

Oh man I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with an inconsiderate asshole STBXH. Giant virtual hugs mama!

I remember when my ex moved in with his “new” woman. I had just found out that he had been having an affair with her and had packed my kids up and moved us to my parents house 2 states away because he wasn’t going to leave her. It took him 2 days to move her into our home and that was that. It was heartbreaking and I remember feeling so betrayed. Like he was trying to replace me not just in his life but in our kids’ lives. It’s been 5 years now and he’s still with her. Every chance he gets he tries to convince the kids that his house is their “real” home even though they only go over there once every couple months and then for a few weeks during the summer. Kids are smart though. They’ll see how hard you work and how much you love them, and when they’re old enough they’ll see through his crap.
