My son used to wake up at 5:30 every morning screaming. I’d pack him up and put him in the car. 2 was such a fun age

-Beach walk, park, green grassy area
-24 hr Home Depot
-at 7am when the grocery stores open, go hang out
-we would just drive around and I’d ask him which way. He’d say straight! Left way!! Right way!!
-McDonald’s play area
-my parents house (1.5 hr away. We’d still get there by 7!)
-play cafe
-children museum, other museums
-botanic garden
-observatory of a tall building
-highway oasis. He would love being up high and watching the cars pass under
-mall play area, or just the mall in general. He would love running up and down the ramps
-really anywhere. 2 years olds are so interested in the world around them. Doesn’t really matter where you go just talk to them a lot and be excited!

Adding to M1: donut, breakfast, hot chocolate, food shopping (let them help), zoo, playground (esp with a slide)

Music stores like guitar center

Pool, water park if later 2s

So many good ideas, PwC1! Second the mall. Anywhere with an escalator. My 17mo LOVES escalators. Up and down all day!

Great stuff, thanks everyone!

Need advice and help.

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments

Girlfriend of 3 years cheated on me right before we were supposed to leave the state and move in together. We broke up about 4 months ago. I couldn’t demonize her, so I’m still struggling with processing it and idk what to do. I’ve been looking into therapy, but I can only do online which leaves me hesitant. Any advice would be appreciated.

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

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?
