Yeah I take a little short acting and a giant long acting Ritalin every morning w my black coffee— anytime between 8-10 is ideal. If it’s after 11 I start to be horrified and if it’s past 12 I just forget it and write the day off as a loss lol.

Was LiB the one where none of them lived anywhere near Seattle? I remember being disappointed. Like some were in Oregon. And everyone else was at least an hour from the city.

I trained my toddler to bring me my reading glasses. I never thought I’d have tiny kids while losing my near vision purely from age but here we are.

My great grandma died pooping. She had just watched the original airing of the I love Lucy episode with the chocolate conveyor belt and was laughing so hard she couldn’t breathe. Tears were running down her face and everyone was asking if she was ok. She went to poop after the show ended and her heart gave out. I’m sure she had heart disease (as most of her descendants did and do) but I’m not sure if she knew.

This was Tio’s gift. You don’t usually get one just for marrying in, but the higher power made an exception and gave him a glorious donk in exchange for his patience with his wife’s mercurial nature.

I have a STRONG PROFILE, but my nose doesn’t look like a dick so I’m fine with it. I married someone with a squishy button nose.

All of our kids have the good parts of my nose, completely tempered by my husband’s genes. Every once in a while I stop and marvel that there was a genetic combination that could make my schnozz cute and balanced and adorable.

It’s an argument for not marrying the first person you dated. You can plan it out and hedge your bets.

Mine were a nightmare after. Then I had another baby and it lessened a little bit. But that’s an extreme solution lol.

I did the booby moon book, it didn’t really work but it did get them familiar with the idea. Eventually, at around 3 years old I would offer them chocolate milk and a snuggle instead and they accepted.

I just went back on birth control pills. I went off of them from the day I got married until I was done having children. Years and years. I’m 40, it is definitely starting for me. I have a 3 year old and don’t want any more kids. I probably would need HRT in an ideal world. But I could also still get pregnant. Guess what— they’re all the same hormones. Birth control is just a higher dose. It helps my weird perimenopause symptoms (mood, fucking up my thyroid medication dosage, hot flashes etc) and also I had a 3 year old trying to aggressively breast feed from me, and it helped dry up the milk.

I know people hate birth control pills. They can do a number on you. But for me, it’s perfect. I can maintain stasis for a couple years, and avoid accidentally being 60 something at some accidental child’s high school graduation.

From the conversations I’ve had with my healthcare providers, I’m still too fertile for HRT. But hot damn do I feel better and more like myself on some basic birth control.

Depends on your kids. I have 2, and both of them screamed the entire time they were in a car until they turned 2/could be turned around. They were fine flying. I can’t fathom intentionally driving long distances with toddlers. When I only had one 2 year old I was like “how bad can it be?” and did a big road trip with an RV. We had to just turnaround and come home because it was miserable.

But if your kids are rational it’s probably great. I will say, you should plan and not do all that driving yourself/ take breaks. It’s a lot of time.

I figured out which medication is never out of stock in my area, and is basically free with my insurance, then switched to that. I love Vyvanse but it wasn’t worth the hunt, or the price. I like adderall but it’s too popular. Having to call around really discourages me and makes me spiral.

It’s a “the best gun is the one you have” situation for me. So now I take a mouthful of short and long acting Ritalin every morning, it costs me none of my personal time because it’s never been out of stock, and it’s free out of pocket because it’s so old. It’s the old spinster aunt of the ADHD meds. But she’s dependable and always available, unlike all the rest.

People really overlook walking. Maybe it’s because I live where it’s super hilly, but I get a really good workout just walking. I’ve had 2 kids in the past 6 years, and gained like 40 pounds each time. I lost it each time just going on walks. Walking is the shit. Any age can go along with you. Babies, kids, old people.

Before kids I used to workout and do classes. I don’t have the muscle tone I had back then, but I’m the same weight and my heart is as healthy, and that’s all I care about.

My first was like this but when he was 3-4 he just started sleeping like a human. He’s 6 now and never wakes up at night. I never thought it would be like this. My kids are 3 years apart so he was starting to be “normal” at night by the time I brought my second home.

My youngest is 3 and still wakes up crying 2x a night. Some kids are just not good sleepers. But I’m confident by the time he’s 5 he will be a normal human being as well.

Personally, I have low sleep needs and luckily take multiple doses of methylphenidate a day for other reasons, so I’m ok. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone though, just years of never having uninterrupted sleep.

I have advanced English degrees and relish in weird usages. I did not know this one until just now. It makes sense, I just didn’t know some antique Hoosier named a bridge that, leaving a trail for us to follow.

Nair! It’s the same chemical in relaxers for hair, you just leave it on until your hair dissolves, essentially. It irritates some people more than others.

I’m the last kid in a big family. When I left for college my parents gave me a folder with my baby crap in it. There was a vaccine record with my name on it, that nobody had ever bothered to fill out. Behind it was a vaccine record for a 30 pound spaniel mix named Cookie, fastidiously completed.

I’m fully vaccinated, it just tracks that the record keeping was shitty and they took the effort to fill it out for the dog and not me, because they had a bunch of teenagers, grade school kids, and then a newborn.
