So... does anyone remember scheduling manners anymore? Two minutes before an IEP that was scheduled two weeks ago I get a text from the mom saying they're all gone on vacation. Oh... okay. That probably would have been good to know sooner. Haha

Gift ideas for GF dad? We have been dating a year and a half, I get along with him super well.

This is a question about friendships. Two friends got into a really bad fight this past weekend. They have each asked me to hang out this weekend. What do I do? I don’t want to have to choose sides. One is a friend I’ve known a little longer and has been a good friend and so she would feel betrayed and angry if she knew I were still friends with her now-enemy. The other I’ve known less longer, but we seem more compatible. Advice??

Oh nooo, one of my childhood friends is a Karen 🤦‍♀️

I'm working on extricating myself and finding my identity again in a way that will be easy on my conscience and values..so I'm learning! Please dont hesitate to go to therapy!...
