Fun activity to do with my son around the house or even outside? Weather is a little cold to be outside but something reasonable should be ok. 3.5 yr old son

Sock golf. Roll up socks, get creative with the house. Plastic clubs are best but a normal wedge with your door mat as each tee box should work.

Build an obstacle course with your furniture or a floor is lava type set up. I did that for my son during the early days of the pandemic (he was around 3 at that time) and he loved it

I have 4 kids and this search for new activities never ends. Took mine to the library this morning. We have a few local libraries with toys for little kids. Children’s museums too. Do you have any nearby train restaurants for kids where a train brings out their food in a basket? My kids love that place and I hate it but don’t show it.

Movie theatre matinee. Bowling with bumpers. Pick out a toy at target. Shopping at a new store they’ve never been to before, we just went to a new supermarket. Make pizza or cookies together. Go fish. Old maid. Shut the box. Battleship. Get on the floor with him, he’ll be happy anything if you’re down there with him.
Bundle up and walk in the woods with walking sticks. I don’t mind going to the zoo in this weather because it’s not crowded and it’s 1/3 inside anyways. Legos together. I hate arts and crafts because of the cleanup but arts and crafts.

I think it’s over with my SO of 3 years. He tells me he loves me and wants to work things through but has lied to me several times in the past - some which were the same mistake three times. He knows he needs professional help (he’s also on antidepressants and has PTSD) but I don’t know how I can trust him again. Feeling completely broken - cannot believe the situation we’re in. I’m so sad my heart is breaking and I don’t know what to do

Husband is a multi sport coach and gone a lot in season, I work in corp banking. Thinking about getting a travel trailer since I camp alone with the kids a lot in the summer, spring and fall for quick weekends. Does anybody do this where you take, maybe 1 day, to create multiple 3 day weekends scattered throughout the year for little trips instead of taking vaca in longer stints? Do you feel more refreshed with lots of smaller trips, or more with a few long trips? Kids are 1 & 3.

I’ve always been a big saver minimum 15% to maxing out my 401k since I graduated college. I’m married to someone who thinks 6% is enough and likes $$$ cars. Other than the cars, they dont really spend money. For the married 🐠, how do you have the conversation with them that what they are doing isn’t enough? I try to guide them and say you want the $$$ cars but the salary you have won’t get there and you’re going to have to find a job that gets them the salary…. Then the fight starts.

My GF and I are dating for 2.5 yrs , She met an office colleague (he has a GF) recently who she initiated a friendship with. I feel that they interact a lot and I'm a little worried of her getting too close to him. A day ago she asked him for lunch and they were out for almost 4-5 hrs. When I expressed how I felt she keeps saying there's nothing going on. I feel that when start to get emotionally close to some other guy than SO then it's not a good sign in relationship. Am I overthinking? contd.

Currently have a 5th grade girl who is struggling with classroom behaviors and choices. When questioned, she says she wants to be a boy, but her parents won’t allow it. Obviously, she is struggling with more than making good choices at school. Her parents are very kind and appreciative of all we do for their child, but they are also clearly struggling with this. Anyone ever been in a similar situation or have some advice on how we can best support the student?

My friends think I’m crazy because I’m willing to work all the time / give 110%, but they don’t understand that I need to do well so I can better provide for my family. I’m already making more in a week at 22 years old than my mom makes in a month, and she works way harder than I do. Just wanted to get this off my chest ha. I’m not resentful and I definitely understand the need for self care…but I’m willing to suffer in a high-paying job if it means I can provide for my family. Is this just me?🙂

I literally cannot stomach to be around my in laws any longer. My wife and I are in neither political camp and we pretty much have the perspective that no matter what the outcome is every 2 and 4 years isn’t going really affect our lives all that great. We just have the attitude that “things happen, but why let that affect our daily happiness?” My in laws are retired, bored, and do nothing but share Fox News videos on Bookface and have just become so angry.
