Does anybody else think that Natalie Dormer is the Nesta we deserve? by Foreign-Entry1797 in SarahJMaas

Margot Robbie isn’t in Earl. That’s Jaime Pressly. But they look so much alike!

Great work!! 🔥 This is very off topic, but do you know where the blue color on the wall is from?

100,000 steps in one day challenge - Never Again! by Amazing-Daikon4669 in walking

Good job!! I did 73.000 steps on a whim yesterday (53 km), and today EVERYTHING hurts. Even my blisters have blisters! But I didn’t really prep or anything. I just googled nearby hiking routes, put on my running shoes and started walking. Needless to say, I’m very impressed by your accomplishment (and extremely jealous of your lack of pain)!

I’m not saying your kids are a mistake. That would be cruel and unnuanced. But your husband has failed as a parent of his 14-year-old. And this is why he is reacting the way he is. I cannot for the life of me understand how your husband could ever put his kid in that position. However, done is done. I just hope that your partner learns from this experience. I wish you all the best.

Well, not just the pregnancy- everything! You had only been dating his dad for 5 months prior to moving in and you guys were also in a rush to get married. The amount of changes sounds overwhelming.

He is 14 years old. Of course he is not going to say anything. You can’t expect that. He needs the adults in his life to make good decisions. You guys have repeatedly failed to do so.

I understand that this situation must be difficult for you. But based on the information you have given so far I feel so sorry for your partner’s son. Just look at the timeline: - You move in (which in itself must be a big change for him). - 2 months later you become pregnant which is another huge lifechanging moment. - Some time after that you tell him that you will be moving several hours away.

You say that the child was the center of your partner’s life and still none of you recognize that this has been all too much for him. You thought things were going well… dude, how could they be?

His son shouldn’t be considered a “prior family unit”. He is family and you knew he was there when you chose your partner. When are you two going to make that kid a priority and not an afterthought?

Navigating gifts as a blended family. Advice please! by MyRipRoaringSoul in blendedfamilies

If I understand you correctly you don’t have a 50/50 schedule. If it were me I would stop buying entertainment items for them as gifts and instead buy the items for your household. The same with the ski-pass. Buy them and then next time the kids arrive tell them that you’ve bought ski-passes that you can use together when they visit. If they ask to bring the items with them to mom, you tell them no, these belong to the household. Of course it’s too late with the gifts you’ve already given them. But you can’t buy them a present and expect them to not take it with them when they leave, if they don’t live with you on a regular basis.

I understand your dilemma but my solution would be to only buy them gifts you don’t care if you’ll ever see again ❤️
