For us it’s a time issue. I’m 35 now. It took me about 2 years to conceive both our kids. So I’d be looking at giving birth at 37 or 38. That feels like too close to the threshold of health problems and pregnancy complications. And honestly, I don’t think I’d have the energy.

All of the “expert“ weed smokers I know aren’t exactly rolling in cash from some steady high-paying employment.

Assholes spinning cookies in their boat until they ruin the engine? I had to double check the location in case they were my neighbours...

I’ll just never understand people, because Mason Alexander Park looks exactly like I’d expect Desire to be cast.

The only acceptable answer is going to be yes, because I have two kids under the age of five, and dragging them out on walks is the only damn time I have to exercise right now.

I would like to suggest Somebody Feed Phil, which is just a nice show about an older guy traveling the globe eating at street carts, 4-star restaurants and people’s homes. Sometimes there’s soup in a bag. He meets elephants and ladies with gigantic salad bowls, and once an episode he always calls home to his parents.

Or The Pearl. My god. “If you try to improve your poor shitty life the universe will murder your baby. The end”

I have an 11 month old. Parents of pandemic babies - how are they coping with the lack of socialization? My daughter is worrily clingy and has only just stopped panicking with hysterical tears when spoken to by anyone outside out immediate household. Other mums I’ve spoken too have been struggling with the same thing.

We had an elderly frail cat who desperately wanted to continue going out (mostly to pee on his favourite bush) and we used to take him outside on a lead or in a basket. Better than risking him getting lost or run over. And yes, some people seemed genuinely bothered by it and would even get in our face to let us know.

This isn’t a cure for the rampant injustice and general sucking of the world, but it might living in them the tiniest bit better. You can turn off Autoplay on FB by going into your Settings & Privacy, clicking Settings and then Videos, then selecting OFF on the Auto-play Videos option.

It’s been 20 years, but wasn’t there eventually an expansion pack that let the child sims age up into adults (skipping the teen stage, which wasn’t included yet)? I remember an adult sim dying and then the daughter aged up just before the last warning from the in-game social services.

When I was about 10, I was sitting at the kitchen table eating lunch when my Nan came in. Standing only a foot away she grabbed her overweight midsection, shook it in my face and screamed “This is your future!”
I don’t know what set this off besides the sight of me eating (a meal she would have made me). Although she…

My 10 month old is a hideously bad sleeper after early months of cronic feedling problems. She’s hyper-clingy - I’m sure covid lockdowns haven’t helped either. But putting on a classical music radio station, at a low volume, really seems to help. It has just enough talking between pieces to make her feel like she’s…

I wasn’t a biter, but my brother was, and bad. Our shared daycare made him swallow a small amount of tabassco after every incident, which would be an instant inspection fail today. It worked, but he just transitioned to pinching.

Mohammed, in his travels, met a bedouin whose camel was wandering freely away. He’d left it untethered, because he trusted that God was looking out for him. To which the prophet replied, “Trust God, but tie up your camel”.

I found a completely intact Le Cueset 2-litre oven dish with lid, in a skip (if you‘re not British, it’s a kind of heavy-duty portable construction dumpster). The handle on the lid was cracked, but otherwise it was totally fine, someone just tossed it because... they have bad judgement and they suck?

And if you, like me, never got your own American Girl doll because your father thought an $82 doll with several hundred dollars’ worth of accessories sold separately was a “racket,” you had to make do with the catalogs and your imagination.

I live outside the US. I don’t know the stats state-side, but in this county, full-time daycare costs more than the average national salary. There is a charity that provides free nursery tuition, but the way they can afford to do it is limiting places only to 3 year-olds and up. God bless them, but that three years is…

Oh god please I wish I could get away with this without seeming like a complete grinch. Our local ice cream truck comes into the village at 7:30 to 8pm , right at bedtime. Every night of every month of the year, even in the dead of Winter.

In a four-piece carton of KFC, I got three pieces of chicken and a breaded and deep-fried spinal cord.
