I agree, the premiums for business insurance on daycares, in home and commercial aren’t that expensive. Even the workers comp insurance premiums aren’t bad. I’ve written commercial insurance policies for daycares for years. I’d say the pricing you noted here is pretty average. Most commercial centers don’t own the…

Milwaukee area, 3yo at a Montessori school, so it follows the school year calendar. I am at $11,000 (Sept-June school year), 5 days a week, 7 hrs a day.

I was obsessed with that show!!!! That’s so awesome. When we first got cable and I discovered HGTV that was one of my go to shows. Another favorite from that time was The Carol Duvall show, which was the host doing various arts and craft projects. She made me want to decoupage everything.

The Gorgas and Dorit/PK would be my guesses!

Douglas Booth and Charlie Rowe. 

I’m close to 4 years on my Casper and it’s the same as the day I got it. I really love it!

I need somebody else to confirm what my eyes see, but Tarek’s new girlfriend looks EXACTLY like his ex-wife. And not just because they are both skinny and blonde, but like their faces look extremely similar.

I think that’s a long time to ask somebody else, even grandparents, to watch a 1 year old. Still doing 2 naps at that age most likely, bottles, possibly waking at night... is there any way she could come with? That seems more realistic. While traveling with kids is never fun, it might make more sense for you guys.    

Do you watch any of the 90 Day Fiance shows on TLC? Because honestly they are if not equal to or better than Bravo these days. A++ reality tv going on there.

He’s 73! 

No kidding! I’ve always been fascinated by Jenelle and shes one of my favorites to watch. More like cringe-watch, but I really really hope she leaves David. He is just pure evil.

I think its funny online how many people are outraged and can’t believe they can afford these homes. I mean from what I can tell VPR is one of Bravos most popular shows. They have been on 7 seasons. Their seasons routinely get 20+ episodes, where even some of the housewives shows only get 15 episode runs. They all…

I think it is sort of clear that some of the “newcomers” to the show over the years obviously are just gunning for screen time. And the show wouldn’t even be as popular as it is if it wasn’t for Stassi and crew acting like drunk assholes for years and keep getting the show renewed.

I bought all the pads, diapers, tucks etc. Had a C-section, so all I really needed was some pads after. And I had to purchase more of those hospital mesh low cut underwear on amazon. Had to wear those for a while... You will do great!

Agree- Jerome and Cottonwood are adorable small towns. Good wine!

Vaguely interesting?!! It’s amazing. As a reality tv addict I have to say it’s one of my favorite shows. 

Thanks for sharing, its really helpful to hear other people’s experiences especially since your kids were so young. I have no idea if my ex will be Present and active in our kids life. I really hope so. But it sounds like you made the right decision. I’m just dreading the whole actual splitting and dividing, legal…

I feel like I could’ve wrote this myself. I know you posted on my earlier thread so you know where my relationship ended up/is ending. Our arguing was beyond acceptable and I didn’t want my baby around it. My husband has major medical issues, untreated depression and started drinking and smoking lot more. Hes in…

My mom said exactly the same thing. Definitely will be interesting to see how it plays out. It would make me sad to see my son not have a strong father figure in his life, but staying together wasn’t going to guarantee that either. Appreciate your thoughts, really good point!

Thanks for sharing, I really hope it’s possible for us. I know lots of people that parents got divorced when they were older, after they graduated/left the house and don’t really know anyone that grew up with divorced parents. So hoping by the time my son can understand what’s going on that we will be on good terms.
