There are so many ways to meet people. Start with your interests...music, art, sports, food, gaming, etc. DC has tons of clubs and social groups aligned to interests & hobbies. Research them online. Great way to make new friends. Just gotta be a little brave at first and show up :-)

Also - welcome to the capital!

My husband and I have had problems for years. He used to basically give me next to no affection, our sex life barely existed (incl. his absolute refusal to do foreplay … ever!) and his general dismissal of anything I enjoyed (my hobbies were boring to him). Over the last year I just gave up trying and accepted we may need to divorce. Now he is trying a lot- he puts in a lot of effort. While a few years ago this would have made me happy I feel like it’s too little too late, I just don’t care ..

I’m getting induced tonight, and I have been legitimately crying for two days thinking about my dog, who has been our whole world, having a hard time adjusting to her new life where she isn’t the center of attention anymore. She’s going to be great with the baby - she knows several and is very gentle and sweet - but I’m just a wreck thinking she has no idea her whole life is about to change. Anyone have positive stories about their dogs and babies becoming best friends?

Any tips for organizing a bedroom, closet, dresser & bathroom? My teen has IADHD, and low executive functioning. Her room looks like a land mine.

A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help. Easier to organize w/o her but that’s not a solution.
