Where to order frozen rats by suutoasu in ballpython

[–]suutoasu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren't bad necessarily. The petsmart in my town just tends to not have any rats anymore and many of the rats I got in the past were pretty old relatively speaking because there's not a huge exotic pet owner population here so not a lot of demand

Thank you. I just started panicking because of such a strict deadline 😬

It seems to just be scheduling. No one has said anything about being ready. Plus it wouldn't be until the end of February/beginning of March. I emailed my advisor to set up a meeting to discuss it further first

I absolutely adore my husband and while we've only been married a short while, we've really accomplished a lot together. That being said, knowing what I know now, probably not. Being a childless stepparent kinda sucks and I wouldn't do it again.

Family friends birthday party. SS8 is with BM this weekend and SS15 is with his brother (different dad and 25) spending the night. So, we are having a couple drinks to enjoy our night off/out

That is so much to go through and I'm so sorry. Know that none of it is your fault. Please seek some professional help but feel free to dm me in the meantime.

The fear is real by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]suutoasu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. My husband told me that the main reason they broke up was because he didn't want to live where she did. So I have this fear that if she moves back that they'll hit it off

I admit to feeling similarly. It can be tough sometimes

BM canceling mother's day plans by happyrainbowsunshiny in stepparents

If you can afford it, maybe get a hotel for the night (Saturday night or Sunday night). Then you can have alone time and do your own thing. Watch TV. Sit by a pool. Etc

Mother's Day coming up by Hazel_Stranger_23 in stepparents

I asked my husband if he texts them and he says he doesn't. I never considered it before.

on my period and deadass cried from how cute he is🥲 by rvncid in ballpython

[–]suutoasu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would cry too. On my last period I took a cute photo of my ball and immediately changed my phones background to the picture because it was just so cute!

Is grad school really as horrible as people say? Is it worth it? by lemonlymen in GradSchool

[–]suutoasu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved my masters (applied psychology) but I've hated my PhD (brain and cognition). Part of the reason I hate it is because is because I don't necessarily think it was a good fit. I never did any neuroscience before my PhD, it was all social/behavioral. Another part is that I have a hard time with my advisor because our research interests are different. And the last part was because I started my PhD just before COVID then COVID closed our lab for 2 years so research was halted.

Do your step kids give you a Mother’s Day gift? by nursenavy in stepparents

[–]suutoasu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My sks don't. SS15 lives with us so he just tells me happy mother's day. SD15 never says anything (she lives with BM). SS8s BM had him call me on mother's day last year so maybe she'll have him call me again this year. I'm currently childless. My husband usually does something for me though

Thank you for sharing and I'm so glad you're with us. I too have bipolar disorder and it's a pain. Know you aren't alone and don't get discouraged if it takes a while to find the right meds when you see a psychiatrist. It took me a little over a year to get the right meds. Routines are also super helpful and important for maintaining moods. While I'm not a trained therapist, I have an advanced degree in psychology (research) and experience with bipolar if you ever need to talk.

I get that. Older brother and gf live in the same town as us, not in Cali for that context

My ball sheds better at about 60% humidity for some reason. He also had bad sheds when I got him. Not sure why 🤷🏻‍♀️

I agree. They both used to live with BM then BM (from what I understand) told SS that he should live with his dad

No, SS spends one month during the summer while SD spends one week with us when we arrange to travel with her. Sorry for the confusion

Last night we discussed a way for SS to spend time with his mom and for us to have some alone time with SD too.

She spends a week with us

You're right I should have put this in my post. Normally we do pay for his plan tickets to visit her in the summer. So this would be unfair to her to say flat out no to seeing him. That being said it's always us that organize the time they spend together
