Any twin mamas out there who have dealt with the question of whether or not to separate them at the preK or K level? I have a situation where one twin is very attached to the other to the point that he doesn’t make friends with other kids in class. Wondering if I should considering separating them. Would love to DM with anyone with experience.

I have twin girls who had a similar experience. They are 13 years old now, but way back when they were little, we put them in the same pre-k class and we were questioning if we should keep them together for kindergarten and wait til first grade to separate them. Their pre-k teacher recommended separation though. She said when one girl would leave to go to the bathroom, the other kept looking around asking about her sister. They weren’t gaining independence. So we separated them in kindergarten and it was fine. They now have very different personalities, friends, styles, etc. We didn’t have any hiccups with separating them.

Given my other life responsibilities, this is creating a huge strain & I feel like this is slowly getting harder & harder on my spouse & kids. I'm grateful to have lots of good work but not sure how to course correct.

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F

How do I go about making peace with someone I don’t want nothing to do with?

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship.

He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

It’s been 3 years since I (27F) moved to Seattle and still don’t have a solid social circle. Not necessarily a big group… I’m talking 3-4 friends who are easy going and not flakey/ hard to make plans with.

Idk if it’s due to Covid, Seattle freeze, a combination of the two or other factors. Any transplants out there who are NOT the outdoorsy type and feel the same? And if so, how did you get past it?

So I get that in a corporate set up, you are supposed to be sharp and witty and think on your feet. Trouble is, I am extremely slow with comebacks. (Think Ross in Friends/Amy in B99) at the crunch moment, I generally end up not being able to give a good roast back. Unfortunately the best of them come to me like a few hours later (dinner/shower/TV) and I am left ruing and amazing opportunity to have gotten one back. I am awful at jibes and roasts.

Anyone else suffer from this?
