Am I tripping? Everyone loves calling my daughter (2 months) "lil chocolate drop" or "look at all that chocolate". I love my daughter's complexion, not only because it's mine, but because it's beautiful. However, I can't help but feeling like ppl "other" or make it weird by avoiding saying dark. Calling her dark is acceptable and appreciated. I know "chocolate" comes from a place of affection, but I just can't embrace it 💯.

My life in the past week: broke up with my gf, became homeless (lived with her family), and am now driving 12hrs to move into my manager's lake house. C'est la vie!

How to deal with change? 1 year out of college and living with 3 of my best friends, just talked about living together for next year but they are all moving to new cities. Another friend is moving to my city so I’ll be living with them but I can’t help but feel a little lonely/like a huge stage of my life is over. Any tips for dealing with this change? I guess I also feel a little guilty because I’m pretty covid conservative so I’ve turned down social outings this past year because of that.

Hi SP’s! Anyone here have experience with telling their child about the divorce and how he will never have certain things (like daddy sleeping over or mommy sleeping over) etc? I really need some guidance right now. Feeling really broken as my son (5) is constantly battling his feelings of wanting to be with mommy vs daddy. He often tells us, “when I’m with mommy, I miss daddy. When im with daddy, I miss mommy!” And would often cry bc he can’t have us both. We try to co-parent and be in (cont)

How do you deal with parents who are Christian fanatics? They’re very loving, and I am Christian too, but not to the point where I want to impose my beliefs on others. They’re ~50 and I am in my early 20s. Great relationship now but strained if I ever bring up politics.

I feel close to them but plan to never bring up I’m bi. I feel like I have to hide parts of myself to live harmoniously with them.

Entering 2-4 years of long distance. Been together for a year. I know she is the one for me, any tips on making it as painless as possible?

I hope he’s in as much pain as I am. The way he ended it was so cold and selfish and unlike how he was any other time with me. It was like a personality switch. I’ve never been so wrong about someone. I’m not sure how to process or recover from that part of it.

Also feeling a little overwhelmed and just unsure of my skills for some reason - I think this campaign is just bigger than I estimated and there’s so much info missing (sigh). Thanks for your help!

The condition doesn’t run in my family (and my mom has 4 sisters w/kids-good sample size) (cont’d in comments)
