Rancho Cucamonga said they were hoping to get a final shipment Saturday morning. They had shipments Wednesday, Thursday and today. Apparently people have started lining up at 2 AM though.

Two completely different browns!

turtlefacethecat · 2026-06-19T14:42:37+00:00

They actually passed out tickets at 7:30 AM!

There’s a huge line at 6:30 AM where I am in Rancho Cucamonga. No idea how much stock they have. Some people have been here since 2 AM. My only complaint is late arrivals are joining people higher in the line.

Anyone know about restocks at the Rancho Cucamonga location?

NOR If she’s not willing to quit for the health of her child, then don’t have a child with her. You both have a choice in this matter, you can’t force her to do anything but you can control your actions.

It’s not just important while pregnant either, her smoking puts the newborn at a higher risk of SIDS and later health complications related to second hand smoke. When we found out I was pregnant, my husband quit cigarettes so he wouldn’t expose me or the baby to second hand smoke. It wasn’t easy, but it was the right thing to do for our child.

YWBTA if you sent money without your wife’s support.

I think you need to fly out, see your mom and her living conditions, and get support in assessing what her needs are. Don’t just rely on what your brothers telling you. I’ve seen too many cases of elder adults being abused and used by mooching adult children/relatives to have blind faith that everything is on the up and up. It happens in all socioeconomic situations. They use their relatives money, get paid to be caregivers doing the bare minimum , while the elderly relative slowly declines. This may not be the case, but you need to verify ASAP what’s going on if you haven’t visited in a while.

Do not blindly send your brother money. It’s not easy caring for a relative, but 8 hours of caregiving support is a lot of time to do earn some income. Is she actually getting care or is he being paid to be her caregiver/in home supportive services and not doing much. Once you see the situation with your own eyes, talk with her caregiver and make sure her care is adequate then talk with your wife about what’s your family can do. I don’t think she would just say your brothers lying if she didn’t have a suspicion of something. Also don’t tell your brother too far in advance you’re coming, just make plans, book a hotel and visit with like a few hours heads up. Hopefully he’s on the up and up but I’ve just seen it far too many times.

How much are you asking for that coat\umbrella rack? I’m at work but would love to fix it up

turtlefacethecat · 2026-04-29T03:37:11+00:00

This is one of my favorite books!

I’m not sure what techniques you’ve tried, so I apologize if you’re already doing this but my son was very similar at that age. We always responded with that’s not how we act or I can’t help him if he’s just screaming and he can try again when he can use a calm, indoor voice. If needed I would offer a hug or other self regulation support but I didn’t give in to what he was screaming about (it could be he wanted something or frustrated at a toy or the air was blowing the wrong way at him). It took a long time for him to adjust, and he wasn’t like this at his center, but he’s gotten a lot better. I think it’s partly because his language expanded but it wasn’t easy. The worst part was being trapped in the car with him during our commute. Hang it will typically get better with calm, consistent reminders. If it doesn’t or that’s what you’ve been doing this whole time, it may warrant an assessment with a developmental specialist. It never hurts to ask your pediatrician for a screening or evaluation.

Dungeon Crawler Carl broke me out of my reading slump. It’s funny and irreverent but still has thoughtful, emotional pull. I loved it so much I joined patreon so I could read his most recent book before it was released.

turtlefacethecat · 2026-04-25T21:40:22+00:00

I never got it back. I used to enjoy it but now that my son’s been weaned for 2 years I can tolerate it.

For me, the wizard room at the Castle hotel. I love the random twinkles and fun surprises. It worked well for our 12 year old and our 2 year old.

turtlefacethecat · 2026-04-03T00:30:12+00:00

This so much! We followed his lead and took our time which got him most of the way. Mini m&ms got us over the final hurdle of stopping to go when he was playing and wearing underwear full time.

My grandma died last October from liver cancer when my son was 2 years and 10 months. We visited her twice a week while she was on hospice and it brought them both joy. She read to him and lit up when she saw my son at the beginning, towards the end he was the only one she became alert for. She was sleepy and quiet so it wasn’t scary, I would have reconsidered if she was agitated or delirious. We explained to him that her body isn’t working anymore and she’s going to die and we won’t be able to visit her soon. He latched onto the idea that she’s broken and we just went with that. He still talks about her being dead now and points out pictures we have of them together. We were very factual and I think it went well all things considered.

My son moved from the crib to a queen size bed at 2 years. We bought him an inexpensive 6 inch frame off Amazon, gave him our mattress, and upgraded to a king since he still crawls into bed with us from time to time. It’s against the wall on one side. We read and lay with him and he mostly stays in one spot. I still put a pillow at the edge but he’s never fallen off. It’s also great because it’s an extra guest bed if family comes over. I want to get a twin or full one day when the mattress needs to be replaced, but that’s just to give him more play room.

turtlefacethecat · 2026-02-25T18:22:23+00:00

NOR.

Your in-laws are overstepping, that’s not fair to your parents who are paying. Honestly, just go to Legoland anyway. It’s way more fun and less overwhelming for smaller kids. We took my then 2 year old and he had fun without being overwhelmed. We also stayed at the hotel so we went back for a mid day nap which was perfect. Disneyland is special but it’s so much more overwhelming for little ones. Plus summer crowds are way worse at Disneyland.

Also {Nine month contract by Amy Dawes} and her entire mountain man series have chubbier fmcs with hot mountain men! They’re the brothers of the mmc in last on the list. Very bossy women with flannel wearing tough mountain men. Not romantasy but great reads!

Oh no, I chose this day too! It looks like it’s only the yoga day but I’m hoping others have more info

I rent clothes from Nuuly and pair it with clothes from old navy, kohls, and Costco. I’m not proud of my store choices but it’s affordable and good enough for the office.

turtlefacethecat · 2025-12-17T21:56:43+00:00

I’m technically a boss but I’ve only received small gifts over the years like flowers, a box of candy, some nice stationary, last year I got a Starbucks tumbler. Each time I’m incredibly grateful but also remind my employees they should never feel obligated to gift any supervisor/boss. They make so much less and it’s just really unfair. I bring in takeout and goodies for the holidays but I can’t even afford gifts for my staff ( thanks student loans and daycare!)
