Feels totally dependent on your kid and trust level. We are NYC based now and in an apartment where you can hear everyone all the time. However growing up I lived out west and at 10 I was in a room with exterior door across the house from parents. They chose me there vs my sister who was 16 because she was a bit of a wild child. She snuck out several times but would just as soon use her window as my door.

So sad to see my beloved Cooley becomes a laughing stock. I still remember the day that a classmate of my 7-year-old thought I am a food delivery guy. Can't blame him cause I was wearing a jacket with a large COOLEY logo. He just learned the word "Cooler" the day before.

As a divorcee with a kid, i find it extremely hard to find friends who can relate, or even making friends as it seems there’s a stigma attached to you because your relationship didn’t work out.

Just venting. My husband is so much into watching his tv show that he is not at all interested in planning the baby shower or even in making the registry. It just feels that I am doing everything right now and his priorities are just around watching his TV show. I get that he needs his me time but our baby shower is few weeks away and we have not sent out the invite yet, do not have the registry finalized (I cannot do it as he wants to be involved or will make changes over my selection).

Hi friends. In the happiest 5 year relationship ever. Then suddenly my boyfriend breaks and held my prior anxiety and panic attacks against me. He yelled at me in a way I’ve never experienced. He’s always been so comforting to me (and I have been to him when he’s upset). I know he’s close to proposing. I’m lying here in bed wondering if this relationship can be salvaged after what was said. I don’t feel like he can accept me when my mental health is struggling. How do I move past it?
