Today I REALLY miss sleeping in on Saturdays.

Been up since 6:30, and she had the nerve not to eat the pancakes I made. 😡😡😡

Can a sex less marriage survive if everything else is as great as a couple can have in realistic and non filmy scenario.

Man, "What? I'm in a meeting?"
Woman, "Did you leave the refrigerator door open again?"
Man, "I can't right now I'm in a meeting, can you close it"
Woman, "Please, make sure it's shut, how many times do I have to tell you. My breast milk is in there, I'm already taking care of one child I don't need another. I'm not your mother!"
Planner,"Hey man, we wanted to tell you but I guess you couldn't hear us. Your camera was off but you weren't on mute.'

So how do I make friends in Boston?

Has anyone successfully gotten back together with an ex? Is it just doomed to fail again (in my case for a 3rd time), or do you have a success story to share?

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?

Hi fishes

I heard that some of my friends are doing multiple full time jobs same time. Is that allowed? Will there be any impacts going forward? If yes what are they?

Can you please explain

What are your thoughts on the everlasting friends debate - cheating or were they on a break?

Guys, this busy season is terrible - I miss my kid so much during the day. Also I feel like I am disappointing everyone at work, my spouse, my kid. There is not enough hour in a day

My son wants to study the same as me, he is only 12 years old, but he has an immense love for biology. In spite of how flattered I feel I can't stop thinking how difficult it is to find a stable job in this profession, is it time to talk about it, or do I wait for a little longer?

I got engaged recently and I don’t want a wedding, so it will likely be courthouse. However, I’m toying around with the idea of a close girlfriends party (not sure whether it’s a bridal shower or bachelorette type of thing). New to this so bear with me. I have really close friends across 2 continents and that would mean having two separate events/ party. Has anyone here had a similar thing where you didn’t have a wedding event but a separate party for friends? How did you pull that off? TIA.

Bit o’ good news… my girlfriend’s mom came to visit after 3.5 years of not wanting to meet me 🥰 and she was very nice, even brought me a gift! 💕

The sudden death of a friend has made me realize that my obsession with goals has caused me to miss out on so much of my life. How can I learn to refocus and make time for the people in my life?

I keep having sex with my ex and want to get back together (this is a recent thought & he doesn’t know) but we live on opposite coasts now. We broke up in 2016 yet we manage to hook up pretty much every other time we see each other. It always starts w an innocent hangout but he still does boyfriend duties and we end up hooking up. It feels good but also wrong at the same time. Is this normal? Am I too old for this F/30? I don’t do this with any of my other exes. Not even attracted to them anymo.

Very weird question to ask. 😄
Has anybody tried and tested ways to have a particular gender kid? I see chinese calendar theory and some sperm race thing.. lol. Planning baby *2 and hoping for the opposite gender of baby 1. Before anyone comes at me, we just would like to have one of each, and are not gender biased. 😊

American society would be in a better place if all of the “woke” young Americans of European descent used the same energy to talk with their loved ones who are bigoted, racist, and/or sexist. That’s the hard work that means more than taking selfies while protesting and posting on social media for dopamine hits.

I have zero friends and I am so lonely ..... no friends. No boyfriend. Nothing. I am 26 yrs old and all I do is work - come home and watch TV :/

I’ve never been able to keep a relationship longer than a year... recently ones were pathetically short. It just makes all this talk of team members going on about their SOs so difficult to bear... :/

What to do for a spouse who is struggling emotionally but refuses to get professional help?
I’m 17 weeks pregnant with our first. My husband is really struggling with emotional/ mental health. I’ve asked him to consider counseling or other medical alternatives. Instead, he wants to talk to me until 11:30 pm or 12 am at night. I want to be there for him but I can’t. I’m tired. I’m still working VERY full time, and I was just diagnosed with early onset preeclampsia 😫

Thinking of getting a Black Baby Alive doll for my daughter. Preferably one that talks and moves, but there seems to be so many. Any suggestions?

Hey family-Has anyone gone with a pediatrician who didn’t have hospital rights to do the exam at birth?
Context: first baby, high risk pregnancy (blood pressure), in northern Dallas suburbs but delivering in Dallas proper; strongly prefer a doctor of the diaspora (my OB is black; we want our son to see black excellence all around), but those in the suburbs tend not to have rights in hospitals in Dallas proper

Sooo my nanny fell asleep holding the baby. My husband and I work from home. So, he walked in, saw them and put the baby in the crib.
Ask: Any advice on how to address this with the nanny? Also, it it a fire able offense?

Context: Nanny started full time on 1/24; baby is not quite 5 months old; we are WFH and have cameras installed that are visible (she should know they exist); first time having a nanny

Any of the sisters deal with gestational diabetes but already had a restrictive diet pre and during pregnancy?
Doctor says I have it, but I honestly don’t believe them. I don’t eat cane sugar (not even in sauces), gluten, dairy, or soy. So not surprised I couldn’t process their drink-I don’t consume stuff like that regularly. I walk a mile or do HIIT training 5x/ week. The condition doesn’t run in my family (and my mom has 4 sisters w/kids-good sample size) (cont’d in comments)

How much per week/month do you spend on daycare?

My wife and I need a break. Had our first baby in March and we are worn out (getting better) but very tired. Wife said to me “I need us time”, and she’s never said that in the 3 years we’ve been married. Suggestions on getaways or things to do?

How are you all managing COVID anxiety for the little ones?

My wife and I are fully vaxxed now and we know kids seem to not be impacted much by it, but it still feels irresponsible to go back to “normal” if it means putting them at risk.

Expecting dad. Nice to be on here.

Any thoughts on Montessori toys. School etc vs it’s competition?

Do any parents have a Lovevery discount code? Also, are there other similar services I should look it? Our LO is due in 3 weeks. So, I want to get him off to a good start.
