I've gotten used to cooking for hundreds of people at a time in the Coast Guard, now it feels very strange to cook for my family of four. I wonder when I'll readjust?

With Math. You can use the same recipes with just small proportions. The Army Cooking manual from World War 2 did this.

Oh, I hate math! Haha. You have a point though.

Adjusting to home life is so hard but it comes with time! You can cook for me, lol!

It'll get better with time. It's just muscle memory at this point. You will do great with the adjustments.

It may take a few years before you can get it out of your system, but even then it will still be ingrained into you. Just don't be too hard on yourself.

Take it easy. You will surely get the hang of it after some time. You can make some adjustments.

My fiancé will NOT stop talking about her ex. After I found out they were texting arguing she justified it by saying it was about the dogs and not them. Even though Her social media is full of his pics. She still sends him $50 a month for dog food, still goes to work right by his place and suspiciously needs keys. I try to bring it up and I get dismantled for being too mean and making “false accusations.” How much more obvious can it be?

Hello kindergarten teachers I have a question for those in the New York area. I have a son going into kindergarten in a few days. My question is what knowledge is he expected to walk in knowing?

I can’t wait to share my loved ones each year and how I joined a Varsity Gay League Kickball team as well. I even have parents interested in creating a team. So thankful for the community I teach in❤️

At my uncles wedding in Madrid I remember lying down on the grass in the courtyard after their first dance and crying, my Dad came and saw me, laid down in his suit beside me and asked what was wrong.

“I know my boyfriend wouldn’t dance with me like that at our wedding”

And we just lay there as I cried, and then got up. Had a drink.

Said boyfriend left years ago, and now I have a wonderful man who just asked me what type of dance lessons I want for our wedding next year.

Don’t give up.

Father of two princesses. 2 years and 4 months.

When, or if you set time aside to take care of yourself or do something for yourself, what do you do? I'm realizing I don't really have any "healthy" ways of relaxing outside of work, so drop whatever you got. It's starting to affect my personal life and I'm worried I won't be able to have healthy relationships unless I can take care of myself first.
