Did you know velveeta isn’t actually orange? They have to add dye to make it cheese like. It’s actually this pale and gross jelly blob. So your assessment of him being a block of velveeta is actually really on point.

Oh, don’t act like he would invest it and grow that wealth. He’ll blow it and file for bankruptcy in the next 2 years anyway. Mark understands the weight and value of money and the Donald doesn’t. Which is what would make Mark’a response to another bankruptcy so delicious. “Hey-I did my best, guys. I personally put…

They had no clue. They didn’t find out until after the fact. The murder scene was a motel. It tracks until you get more info

Best guess would be case security and respect for the dead. The mic article said that police weren’t aware of her transgender indentification until the sister emailed the detectives. The investigators didn’t know so they could have thought either the killer forced the victim to dress like a lady to shame the victim or…

Don’t sell yourself short. I’m incredibly skiddish when it comes to pulling the trigger on marriage because of my parents. There are always good and bad that you pull from. You have to learn from the bad but also love the good

Think about all the thinkpieces you’ve read on millenials and dating. Look at it from the you made this prospective

The way I put is is that’s going to be someone’s spouse someday. God willing someone wants to marry them. It’s your job to make an attractive partner. You can make the best possible spouse or you can make someone who ends up on the tire fire that is reddit relationships. The power is yours.

I’m not going to put my child into a Chinese gymnast program. Im just saying that routine and boundaries are key. I see a couple times a week what indulgent and child dependent parenting does. There’s a point of indulgence that is positively crippling and does no one any benefits

I deal with two unsleep trained children on the regular. I’m the pinch hitter. And because of that I know exactly what choices I’m going to make seeing the terrible outcomes that can happen.

I’m the meanest bitch in my field and my partner is in finance. We both agreed that a baby nurse (tax season) or nanny will be hired based on their ability to intimidate us. If we can’t stay strong because that dumb emotion love, we’ll have someone to lay down the law and keep us in line

Thanks! We plan on it. I’ve haven’t spoken of this to people we know but adoption and fostering aren’t out of the cards for us. We both think it’s important and it’s nice for you to say that about me.

I had done it before. I was extremely extremely uncomfortable but I’m not the parent and I don’t want to rock the boat. But once he was sleeping alone it was a hard no. I wasn’t worried about potential repercussions or anything of the sort. Just it felt wrong and it felt gross for me to share that intimate space with…

No. Just no. Even if the kids were independent in every way but sleeping, no. You can outsource breakfast or laundry or even cleaning. But sleeping? That’s a fundamental life skill. It’s not like not being able to ride a bike or swim. That’s something that you carry for life. Your ability to sleep is tantamount to…

It’s gonna swing back in 5 years. I promise you. The people like me who are just now thinking of becoming parents are seeing what the free ranged loosey goosey parents are doing and we know that’s not us

In all fairness, they’re rather disfuntional and the older kid rules the roost. One of the largest rooms became his “office” and its total bullshit. Instead of making the house work for them they let him reign in terror so the boys share a bedroom. The older boy made sleeping in there hell so it made sense that he…

There’s a undercurrent of “you don’t love your child” if you sleep train. The people who don’t believe in sleep training act like you’re one step away from lighting your baby on fire and snapchatting it with glee if you sleep train. In the past 5 or so years there has been this shift from hey your kid is fine and…

I see it more as a boundaries thing. It’s a healthy move to make sleeping an individual activity but if you invite someone into your bed it’s a mutal decision. You can’t just say “I SLEEP HERE NOW!” And it’s okay. I choose to sleep with my partner because it’s a space where we can get the late night giggles over…

I know this was supposed to dissuade me from having a soviet mother mentality but it didn’t. The kid will have so much love. The kid will lament how horrible we are for loving and caring so much about it in it’s teen years. They’ll be mad that we are hands on despite having a nanny.

I have a cousin in 6th grade and it was months ago that he started sleeping alone. The last time I babysat overnight he kept saying “it’s time for bed! It’s time for you to go to bed!” because his parents told him it was fine for him to not sleep in his bed because it was a special occasion. Meaning he could sleep in…

Which is why they told her to do it when she was younger. Obviously this isn’t ideal for the child but this is where they’re at now. The option of having a few truly horrific nights to stave off a lifetime of issues is probably the way to go.
