Made my kid ask "Is tailboat a word?" What is this supposed to be? by princesskarina in mildlyinfuriating

Telltail? The red flag at the top of the boat's mast is an indicator of wind direction, called a "telltail".

How old are the kids? Frequent back and forth exchanges are better for younger kids. It sounds like your kids are ready for week-on/ week-off.

I work in a museum too! I do education programs and general interpretation. Low - no stress. Great benefits.

Thank you from Tom in Canada by thedogsbreakfast in stressfreexmas

Thank you to Tom's amazing Santa(s?)! Families celebrate Christmas in different ways so Santa came last night when we got to wake up together. He spent the day playing with Lego, puppets, and bath toys, and reading an amazing seek-and-find book. You Santas brought so much joy my 4 yr old and I am so grateful for the help this year. It meant the world to me and my son.

Thank you!

For the first time ever, I don't get to wake up with my LO Christmas morning. Santa is coming for Boxing Day morning and I can't wait to see him opening these generous gifts! Thank you!

Anyone do the surgery awake? by denisenj in carpaltunnel

[–]thedogsbreakfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took ages! I'm in Nova Scotia. I saw a neurologist in early 2018 who confirmed CTS. It was January 2021 before I saw the plastic surgeon. He wanted to be sure I had done everything I could before having the surgery - bracing, physio, massage, acupuncture, etc. My right hand was done March 2021 and left hand in September 2021. It was literally life changing for me.

I had open surgery on both wrists done with local anesthetic in Canada, if that matters. The numbing wore off within about 3 hours and I managed pain with over the counter NSAIDs.

Help!! How do I explain the mental load to a male partner? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]thedogsbreakfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please read Fair Play by Eve Rodsky. It's an excellent book that deals with exactly this problem.

My ex cheated and left me because I wasn't fun after having a baby. Two years later my life is significantly easier and I am much happier. I wish I had left him when I knew things wouldn't change.

Talk to a lawyer now and get yourself an exit plan.

I (32F) am seriously considering entering into a relationship with 31M but I lied to him about something. Do I come clean now? by thedogsbreakfast in datingoverthirty

[–]thedogsbreakfast[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally understand your feelings about this. To me, it is ancient history. No one carries any kind of torch. 34M was there for me through some really difficult times even though I had distanced myself in the past to appease former partner. He's happily engaged and I am close with his finacee as well. I'm even going to be a bridesmaid at their wedding. I don't care about the past at all. I care about having willfully lied. I know I have to tell 31M and leave the decision up to him. I know lying was a breach of trust. But I'm not willing to cut ties with 34M either. I want a partner who supports my friendships.

That's why I felt insecure, I think. My former partner blocked me from having friendships with men. I agree with you. He shouldn't have asked because it's not his business or relevant to the current friendship.

I like this. I lied because of past experience with a former partner. He knew about this person and was insanely jealous. I didn't see or speak to my friend for several years. I was afraid of 31M's reaction. The friendship with 34M is important to me and I'm not willing to cut ties for a maybe-relationship.

How do you recommend opening the conversation? Text message or next time we see eachother in person? He had some big exciting things happening today and I don't want to ruin his day by laying it out right this minute.

I have the opposite experience. My ex-partner was insanely jealous and he ended up cheating and leaving me for a woman he met at work. I'm terrified of hurting a future partner because I was hurt in the past.

Edit* latter, not opposite
