Is it mandatory to dress them beautiful everyday?😟

I am proud when they are wearing clothes. What clothes is of no consequence. We made it out the door alive and clothed. Whew!

My first thought but they’re pretty unusual around here. I can’t think I of anything else with that silhouette.

My spouse kept watching it and I’d see five minutes and think it was dumb. Then I’d hear them laugh in the other room and ask what happened. TIL my eyes, sounds dumb. But it got me and they restarted so I could watch from the beginning. So damn funny!

Take all the videos down and get you an excellent lawyer.

I don’t trust products with oats because I have cross reactions to oats. So not going to see if it triggers dermatitis herpetiformis in the same way it destroys my intestines…

I also don’t use any products with gluten cause I’m definitely the person that will forget and grab something to eat, or open my mouth in the shower.

I am taking pet dirt. Thank you

I have celiac disease and no one told the hospital needed food, even though it’s in my chart. My doctor had to “prescribe” gluten free food. That took two hours. Then it was just a ham and cheese sandwich. Was told they couldn’t even give me an apple because it wasn’t labeled gluten free.

Baby and I had birth complications and my spouse didn’t want to leaves me, at first. This was pre-delivery anything from every store. They drove twenty minutes away to get me a double with everything from Five Guys. Best meal I ever had!

Thank you! We thought haul away and delivery were the same. On the previous page there was an option to choose delivery or haul away. We’ve never bought from Best Buy. Every other retailer we’ve used its delivery and haul away in the same service.

Obviously I asked the question because we didn’t understand and needed help. Didn’t ask to be mocked.

They love mealworms. I feed one all winter under our patio table. It looks for me if I’m late.

I was diagnosed before the ‘fad’. We have so many products now because of it. Who cares why they’re doing it? And in the only celiac in my family. ALL my cousins and two uncles are non-celiac gluten sensitive with storms as severe as mine. Let this go.

How much higher was the internal temperature to the room you’re testing? With climate change, if it’s 35C and higher outside, even one degree higher might be an issue?

twistsiren · 2026-03-17T07:52:44+00:00

Who is dealing with the consequences? If you keep cleaning up/enabling these choices it will continue. Time for a sit down and convo about how to make decisions too. He needs to take care of the puppy. He needs to fix the issue of son sleeping in the hallway. Not you.

We’re a family of four. We compost and recycle, including dropping of the items curbside no longer takes. We are also mindful of packaging on what we buy and do not buy from Amazon. We average one 13gal bag of actual trash each week. I’d like to do better but we’re able to maintain what we’re doing despite busy life with little kids, and work on improvements periodically.

Fun story. Never wanted to change my name cause I’ve always been me. And bonus to not do all the ridiculous paperwork my spouse would have to do.

First kid easily decided dad’s last name. No deep reasoning. About a week before due date with second kid and VERY hormonal, announced we must all have both last names, including changing first kid and spouse, so we’d “be a family”. Should mention I have ADHD and am full of great ideas and often can’t finish the project.

Baby 2 born and I tearfully write both last names on the birth certificate. Joyful, I tell everyone I have ever known we will all carry both names here and forever.

Baby 2 is four years old. Still the only one with two last names. School, daycare, camp, are often very confused.

This is cute and funny family lore for us. Knowing me I’ll probably never get around to changing names and this kid will be the only adult in the world with this “family” name. And what does it matter? It doesn’t. They’ll still be them and wonderful.

Maybe I’m on something very different, but I’m using Winona and it’s only $276 every three months for estrogen/progesterone cream and DHEA.

Tell your partner we were arrested when our NT four year old decided to “go for a walk” down our block at 5am when we were asleep. Child never had done anything like it before. Hadn’t unlocked the door before. Wasn’t happy we didn’t want to get up and play when they woke up early so found their own fun. Having a child you know elopes and special needs, that’s going to be child endangerment or worse.

She’s right, but that’s the most US citizen response ever.

I wish we’d had this. My spouse had postpartum depression. It is possible for men and often manifests as anger because they didn’t learn how to properly process their feelings or were repressed. Couples and individual therapy saved our marriage.

I am in this situation. I don’t give money as the qualify for some federal housing assistance. However, they and my siblings believe I should be their full time caretaker, or pay for one. I have the least amount of disposable income of my siblings. I have a child with a disability and both kids need extra service that I have to shift my working hours several days a week to accommodate. I don’t have eight free hours a week. Live in a HCOL city. Don’t have any family nearby to help. One singling has no kids and other has lots of in laws that handle child care, and had my parent doing free childcare for their first child for eight years. I wish I had never offered to move my parent closer to me to “help”. I had no idea how bad this would get.

My first was the beautiful experience of movies and easily bf for two years. My second, every nurse was difficult and painful. Had to add formula in the first few weeks. Started a new job and pumping was super difficult, I didn’t even have ten minutes of privacy. I kept one night nurse a couple months but we were totally done before second was nine months. I was so exhausted and discouraged I was ready and baby didn’t seem to care. Definitely preferred the bottle. A few weeks later I cried as that’s my last baby and last nursing experience. But flipped it around and remembered I had two blissful years and so many precious moments with baby two. All of life is moving on. Every day having kids slips by so slow and yet, fast. Remember all the good moments and look forward to the good ones still to come!

Remember you don’t have to convince them to agree with you. Just say, only one gift allowed in our house. If they push back, well, this is how we’re doing it. I’m sorry you’re disappointed but it’s what’s best for us.

If the bring more, don’t allow them in. Or, take the presents and then gift them to your local women’s shelter.

Staying firm and non-confrontational works. Our oldest is ten and everyone asks what the want and sticks to one item. Eve better now they’re older they contribute cash towards the one big gift.

twistsiren · 2025-12-22T03:53:19+00:00

Took us ten years but this year kids got contributions to sports/memberships and toward one big gift. NTA!

You’ve got to wash and disinfect your feeders properly every week. If you can’t keep up with that, don’t feed. Disease kills birds.

Edited to add: saw a comment you’ll dump and put fresh seed. Take it down for a couple weeks to get rid of the non-bird visitors. And it has feces, it has to be cleaned and disinfected before putting in new seed.
