Having a lovely weekend with my family… then this morning my back below/beside my shoulder blade starts hurting. By the end of the day I half dropped my baby (I was sitting, she’s fine) and as I go downstairs for dinner I crumple on the stairs in uncontrollable tears from pain. My lord, this is 30???

Texas is coined a football powerhouse, but I’m having a hard time finding teams/events for my elementary school student. Can anyone point me in the right direction in the loop or in the Galleria area? Bonus points for facilities/areas in the loop where Black boys and men play/gather. I’d love my son to have that sense of community as he’s the only Black kid in his class, and we haven’t met many Black families at the closest local park to us. Black is not a deal breaker though! Please share.

Probably not the right bowl. I have $240k in my savings account, recently became a father of 3 and my wife left her job so now one income. I make $215k base. Monthly expenses prob around $6.5k including my mortgage. Home equity somewhere around $200k. I've never been good at investing (always losing money in the market). Want to move to a bigger home but don't want to lose my cash cushion. How can I conservatively grow my net worth? Vague question but any help appreciated. BTW I'm 33.

Much appreciated ❤️

so I shouldn’t be annoyed but someoen asked me at a park if my kid is mine. My son is half white and looks white. It’s always my fear that people will think that i’m his nanny.
