Not sure I would call it wise—over the years I have received an amazing amount of support—and some of this is also based on trial by fire experience. Here’s hoping everyone finds the support they need.

Holy shit, the description of his countenance changing upon being returned home, even in a coma—no words, just something in my eye. :(

Much prefer this version—because Kinja hates me, this is the all Spanish language version without ole Chlamydia of the Ear co-opting reggaeton.

Yup, have definitely done that—for simplicity’s sake was lumping enchilada in the casserole category. :)

• How do you achieve a perfect roast chicken? Used to roast in an oven—now I use the InstantPot. I’m big on crispy skin, but I’m even bigger on time management. If I have time to baby it along I use the oven.
  

Another one of those bizarre moments where I find myself saying, “JP Morgan did the right thing...”

Sorry to hear this. Hugs to you.

So sweet!

Anyone who upsets family dynamics will receive wrath from their family—keep surrounding yourself with people who make you feel good about yourself. Oddly enough they will likely be supportive of your decision to preserve your well being by cutting your father out of your life.

Yes, cut out contact with my dad for many years, shortly before he died came back into contact with him—I consider his lasting gift to me that he died at 56 so I could go on to become a mother without having to navigate cutting him out of my life to keep butter jr. safe.

Trigger warning: for those who have experienced trauma this may be triggering—if you cannot read because we have that shared background, just know that I am part of your platoon and you are not alone.

For tabbed hangers—and I don’t mean those stupid pop tabs, that’s ugly, gross, and quite likely to cause snags on things made of rayon or poly/mix: I can remember many years ago my mom giving me a bunch of those tabbed hangers to integrated into my closet. It literally opened up over a foot of space as I removed the…

Kamala Harris is amazing. What I was most struck by watching her questioning of the racist Keebler elf is how accustomed to and tolerant of inferiority on all levels the GOP and perhaps all of the American public has become of white men in positions of power. Any white dude who sabotages our national interest, who…

I don’t even know where to start...

TL;DR: The article forgot to add that there is no one size fits all solution for parenting. If you are being henpecked with “but whys”, it’s possible this could help, or it might not. Stay flexible.

What folks on all sides are responding to is that kids are different and there is no one size fits all technique that is going to work. “Asked & answered,” isn’t going to work on all kids, and it wouldn’t have worked on me. Just as the empathetic response is death when applied to a kid who needs the “asked &…

I’m pretty adamant about including politics in my profiles, I’m both biracial (Mexican-American) and bisexual. If you directly supported 45 by voting for him OR if you are a Bern or die who indirectly supported 45 by voting 3rd party for the final election, I’m not interested in having sex with you.
