I’m not a parent, and this is an absolute fear of mine should I ever become a parent.

I do get how people can do it (which was obviously not the case in this situation). When this happens, it’s not typically when they are taking a cross-country trip with their kids, it’s when they are going through the rote motions of their day. Have you ever gotten in your car to head to ____, but gotten halfway to a…

I went to a wedding where the bride was named (I’m tweaking them a little here) Estelle, and the groom was named Mike. Their hashtag? #EsAndMWedding

Yep! Conversely, my dad is a poor, white, uneducated 66-year-old dude and didn’t vote for Trump (although he hated every second of having to vote for Hillary)

Yes, but I think you meant caramel brulee latte.

Yep, I have a friend who just posted before and after pics of a year ago vs. now to promote Plexus. A year ago she was 2 months postpartum (and still looked pretty good compared to the “average” American). Now she is back to her normal workout routine (and looks super fit). I reeeeeealy wanted to call her out on it.

Thanks, I guess, but I really don’t need the props.

(Let me just say, first, that I’m not a fan of comment on people’s bodies, even public figures. I would not have clicked on that article other than the fact you linked it and I wanted to see whether it was comparable)

Was just going to post something similar.

Red could be bleeding, or maybe you just ate a lot of beets.

That’s so funny, I pretty much could have written out those exact rules just by watching the change in how various people I know started posting on Facebook. It sucks that now I just have a bunch of clones (although they don’t all sell the same thing), and it sucks even more that one of those people I actually care…

My childhood best friend started selling Plexus about 6 months ago. While she still has some non-Plexus posts, I have to read them very carefully (no way I’m liking that non-sense to promote it to other people’s news feeds). Sometimes even a cute picture of her kids will be muddled with a caption like “So glad I have…

(AP history did reach the 60s, but that’s not really a typical class)

I distinctly remember being 4, 5, 6 years old and trying to design a parachute from plastic grocery bags. I’d test it by jumping off of what I could...off a tree branch, dog house, etc. Thank goodness my parents didn’t trust me enough to let me hang out on the roof.

Sounds awesome! I grew up in a rural area, so although I was technically in a neighborhood, 50% of our property line faced fields (half being actively farmed) so things like hole digging and tree climbing were no big deal. Now I live in the suburbs of a major city (no kids yet), so I worry about my kids being able to…

Ha! Yep, I made that comment on another thread. Looks super fun, but definitely doesn’t look free range. It’s distinctly designed with “this is where you climb” “this is where you jump” “this is where you draw” areas. My childhood (which could probably be describe as free-range) had me building my own tree house,…

But I do agree with his underlying belief that unstructured play is good for kids.

Yep, can confirm. Dirt will definitely keep a kid busy. Also, a shovel and free range to dig.

No! His kids can’t possibly be sheltered. They jump off the roof of the playhouse he designed onto the trampoline he put right next to it with the intention of them using it in the exact way they are. That’s exploration and creativity.
