Did you read the whole article or just skim it? He has two sons with his ex-wife and a daughter with a “friend” so no one is raising three of his kids. Also, the mother of his daughter apparently dated enough that she has a “domestic partner” who wants to adopt the daughter.

Not every couple/person. Condoms and the pill both have too high of a failure rate for my husband and I to be comfortable using either by themselves (not just with each other btw, we were both always that way). We didn’t ditch the condoms until after we got engaged and I got an IUD.

“2 years or less”!? He’s 150k in arrears; to pay that back in 2 years he’d have to be making more than 100k a year.

My parents have 5 kids between them and they still have long term care insurance which is why I know it can be cheap. We’re pretty local (three of us live within 1.5 miles of them and the farthest away is 2.5 hrs right now) and of course they could come live with me if they needed to. They don’t want to be burdens on…

Relevant in that there won’t be custody issues so it’ll be easier for her to get/stay away if it’s not his kid so lets hope it’s not.

Absolutely. My mom was/is always the one asking random kids who seemed lost if they knew where their parents were so I didn’t realize just how bad it was until I had kids of my own. My oldest is autistic and a runner which sort of hit its peak the summer he was two and I was pregnant with his sister. I spent a lot of…

Don’t you mean nightmare?

I wanting to scream at the computer “Long term care insurance is a lot cheaper than a baby!”

I think it’s actually baby #3

There are some cheap Cirque de Soleil knock offs touring the country. My husband took our kids last year (so not quite 4 and 6) and while it was not that impressive to the adults the kids loved it. I think my mom found it on Goldstar and it was less that $20 for the three of them to go.

Any idea of the title? My kids would love that.

Yep. My sister had a seizure from extreme exhaustion/stress once. It was nbd except that she wasn’t allowed to drive for 4 months. That was maybe 17 years ago and she’s never had another.

I was leaving Costco last fall with my 4 year old and 6 month old and it was absolutely pouring. Pouring badly enough that the entryway is full of people waiting for it to let up/someone to bring their car around. I stood there a few minutes trying to decide if it was better to run to the car without…

When we potty trained my daughter we didn’t need a sticker chart or candy ad a reward because all she wanted to do was flush the potty.

I have, just not to a dad. Sadly I do know a family (of 2 doctors!) that just kept having kids until they finally got their boy (after 4 girls). The joke’s on them because their four girls all have Phd’s or are Phd candidates and after they dragged the little brother kicking and screaming through high school he…

Dammit! Now I kinda want to get that stuff to for my son to keep his bangs out of his face while they’re still growing out but I can’t bring myself to buy something called “girlie glue” :/ .

Nurseries (and kids rooms) are fun to decorate actually. I bought completely neutral bedding (cream with brown and green bunnies and grass; the only organic cotton set I could find cheaply) but I was still excited to do a new nursery for my second because we had moved. We did leave the nursery the same between my…

You mean like to verify after the party? If they just want to know who messed up there should be a note in the medical file.

It’s just enough to cover payroll taxes on the full federal minimum wage (restaurants are supposed to make up the difference if your tips don’t come out to the full federal/state minimum wage but my understanding is that they frequently don’t).

Aren’t they all done that way? I’ve heard of ones where instead of the envelope going to the bakery it goes to a friend who sets something up (colored balloons in a box and colored confetti in a balloon being the two I remember off hand) but I’ve never heard of a gender* reveal party where the parents weren’t finding…
