Yeah, the whole school thing is hard to navigate and the autism complicates it. I keep reminding myself that it doesn’t seem to bother him that he doesn’t have friends over for playdates and movie nights. If it starts to bother him, we can figure out some ways to deal with it. But I also don’t want to make him feel…

Yeah, I do have plenty of my own friends from my hobbies or work or just from my history. It just seems like there’s this whole subculture of school and I don’t hear about things happening at the school. Like “There’s a 4th grade end of year party? When did they announce this? Why did I miss this?” - and those are the…

Yes, most of my “mom friends” are people I was friends with prior to having kids and we both just happened to have kids at around the same time. It’s been harder to meet people at school. I feel like I need to (to a certain extent) because it seems to help kid social lives. But then when I go out to meet other moms I…

I could possibly be a fever dream you’ve created. We really have no way of knowing.

I feel the same way. I mean, yes, I have two or three really really good friends that very very very rarely annoy me which I think is just enough for me. It’s the tertiary folks - those who I don’t mind and I forget how annoying they are.

I hope WebMD told you that this is normal.

I mean, I’ll even expand it to saying “EdnasEdibles gets tired of people sometimes.” I am 42 and I’m exhausted by everyone. I go through really social periods and then I must hide from everyone for a few weeks because people are exhausting.

I know.

I’m in a weird version of this problem. I’m in my 40s and I’m getting a divorce. And I have two kids. I’m not quite “single” like my childless single friends because I have my kids 50% of the time. Plus, a single person in a great job in their 40s has a lot more spending cash than I do as a single mom in my 40s. But…

I really enjoyed this show during the first season and then it just fell apart and became garbage. Not even fun garbage. Just boring garbage.

Agreed. And I feel like it is similar to the Seinfeld episode when Jerry found out that a girl he dated had dated Newman. How can you ever be with Avril knowing that she slept with Nickelback many many times.

How DARE you. #TeamRafael.

For real.

I miss so many of the characters on that show.

Meghan’s sister is the WORST.

Thank you. It’s rough because I am not happy with her but it’s not her fault. I just think it’s another lesson that this sort of thing works best if a lot of people know the signs and a lot of people are paying attention and urging someone to get help. Putting the onus on the depressed person to say “Hey, I am…

This is a rough one because I did experience PPD and anxietywith my firstborn and I did talk to my OB. It was so hard to actually talk to her about it and she said “I wonder if you’re actually just really tired. How about you try to get some more sleep in the next week and see if that helps. I’ll make a note to call…

I also had an “unappreciated” mother’s day. I separated from my husband in the fall and this was my first mother’s day as a “single mom” and I didn’t get anything other than the things the kids made at school. And it just kind of occurred to me “Oh, I’m not going to ever get a mother’s day gift again - not until…

I’ve watched the reboot and I agree. I think that with age and continued financial problems, it’s not too difficult to believe that someone like Roseanne Conner would become more conservative over time.

Tribute musicals are the lowest form of musical. Yeah. I’m looking at Jersey Boys too.
