I hated it because almost always the order included cigarettes so I had to cancel it, but I didn’t know till I got there. and the rest of the time the 7-11 wouldn’t have exactly what was being ordered so I’d end up having to contact the customer about it.

Sorry I missed it. I hope it wasn’t a partnership with doordash, they just reduce their own contribution to employee pay when the orderer adds a tip in the app. 

Also, don’t automatically start excluding them from events that include children. When word had gotten out that we were “trying and not succeeding” (thanks to my loose lipped BFF) we were no longer invited to birthday parties or baby showers. Our friend group shrank but I guess I didn’t really need those friends

No school buses here and no full-day kindergarten. I heard from another mom today that the “after school” care at our elementary runs about $6/hour. At 6 hours a day that’s nearly as much as we’re paying for daycare. We’re quite fortunate that we have a great daycare that does the pickup so I only have to make one

 I would love that. I’ve had father figures in my life but no one who literally filled that space. (Bio dad left before I was born, we’ve never met.) My father-in-law is the closest I’ve ever had. It’s actually really sweet when he’ll call me up out of the blue to talk football or just see how I’m doing.

Ugh, my daughter starts kindergarten this fall. Luckily, the daycare that she currently goes to with her brother does pick-up and drop-off at that elementary. So I can take her in the morning (school day starts at 7:55AM) and they will pick her up at 11:20AM when she gets out of school. 

Me too! I’m always caught off guard when he actually pitches in. last weekend he went grocery shopping because we didn’t have the groceries he really wanted and he even took one of the kids with him. The really tough part is he was unemployed for nearly two years and I was able to slightly rely on him to do more

None of them, call a local florist.

And did you tip the delivery person? I’m guessing this is a partnership with Postmates or similar and when you don’t use the actual service it’s generally much harder to tip unless you just hand them cash.

I wish my husband could have been that picky but unfortunately he was out of work for nearly two years. Now he’s got an 8-6 job (that’s literally the minimum they expect him to be at his computer) and all of the burden that was lifted while he was unemployed has shifted back to me. I try to hustle everyone out the

The nice things one gets said many times in our house, both at the cats and at the children.

I bought the ketchup for my 2 and 4 year old when it was on clearance last week. $1 for a decent sized bottle and they love it. My husband won’t touch it but then again, it’s Walmart generic ketchup.

I don’t want that coating on any of my clothes or linens, just especially my towels. 

Used them as a kid to tame my flyaway hair for sure. But I hate using them in my laundry, I’d rather have static than towels that don’t absorb any water. I’ve heard they can be good for cleaning glass shower doors but it hasn’t worked for me. Maybe my water is too hard.

Both Mike and D’arcy (and I believe the casting director) have talked about this on the Good Place podcast, which I highly recommend.

Because some nights they will only brush at the same time. You pick your battles.

Leaving trains! My friend's ex used to play drums with them so I saw them a few times but well after their heyday.

I wouldn’t mind a double sink if it meant I could get both kids to brush at once or wash hands at once. Right now, there’s much tussling at the sink as they stand on side-by-side stools and spit on each other.

If you’ve got one kid, you can put the car seat in the middle. It’s when you’ve got two rear facing car seats that it becomes a problem. Luckily, I’m only 5'1" so it never bothers me.
