We’ve got a whole yard filled with soccer balls, basketballs, baseball T, etc...so I’m hoping that wins out. Unfortunately, we both come from football playing families so they want to be like Uncle or Grandpa or whoever.

This might finally be the year I stop watching football. While I hate all the bullshit around it and have cut back quite a bit in the last few years, I have a 3.5yo and a 2.5yo and they’re already starting on the “I want to play football!” train. 

I came here in an attempt to make a deep state comment, so thanks for doing it much better than I could!

I fucking HATE that guy

One of the ways to estimate adult height is double a boy’s height at age 2. See link from the Mayo Clinic - https://tinyurl.com/yc79sk6y

I have two boys (3 and 2); the younger one is on track to be 6'5". Husband and I both come from football families (my dad, uncle, and brother played in college, similar on the other side). We’ve already discussed no football cause we’d really like their brains to function, but even at 3 they get excited about the idea…

This happened to me last year! I ended up going to another stylist at a different place and she fixed it 100%.

Ugh, I watched the one where he went back to his old haunts in Cape Cod last night then attended a meeting for recovering addicts. I almost burst into tears because he talks about how he finally decided he wanted to stay alive and how he’s alive for his daughter etc etc. Heartbreaking.

It’s rarely a good idea to let me access an Amazon account.

This book rules. I got it as a baby shower present and we read it to our kids all the time. Every time there’s lightning in a book or movie, they scream ZEUS!!

Botswana is awesome, we did our honeymoon there. I highly recommend a trip!

Perhaps we worked in the same bar. For some reason the bar I worked at was all 40yo+ patrons and they BROKE THE SINK in the single stall bathroom on more than one occasion fucking.

I had a younger woman sit next to me on a flight from Chicago to LA, so not a quick flight. I was in the window, she was in the middle. No one sat next to her when they closed the door. I commented that it looked like the seat was empty if she wanted to move over, and she just looked at me and said ok. She didn’t move…

I hate to break it to you, but that’s kind of the point of a trust? I didn’t say it was responsible to be given money. I’m saying if you are going to give your children money in a trust, make sure to teach them how to be responsible with it.

I’d suggest you spend more time discussing appropriate money habits with your children if that’s your solution. I was lucky to have a trust pay for college and once I graduated I used some of the excess to buy a car and cover the deposit for my apartment until my first paycheck came in (I moved across the country so…

I assume these people haven’t been in a school building lately, but most have been doing this FOR YEARS. YEARS. All doors are locked except for main entrance and often that’s a buzzer system. So...more of the same? Again?

I think in some ways taking leave after a second child is born is more important! My husband started a new job the day after I gave birth to our first so he had no time off (luckily I have family near because I had an emergency c-section). But after the second, his newer job had 2 weeks paternity and he took the two…

Unless you develop PPD/A with the second :) Which I only say because that was my case, ha.

God, I’m so mad at your doctor for that and I’m so sorry you had to suffer.
