Sent them to private school rather than public. I’m not bashing public school, I’m just looking at the outcomes of my kids vs. those in the neighborhood who went to public school. The colleges/universities and employment status aren’t even in the same league.

Thanks PMM 1 and F1! Which school is this Freelance 1?

I don’t have kids yet lol but I live in Florida and my parents used the Florida Prepaid Program when I was a baby to pay for my college. They paid the cost of tuition for what it was 23 years ago and it covered my tuition, without me having to pay the difference for inflation.

Yeah mine only paid for in-state schools which was fine for me, but I think if you end up going to school out of state you can cash out the contributions

Spend time with them.

I took each one with me everywhere that I went when they were age 1 until about 4. that gave them a sense of confidence and awareness of their surroundings that some other kids never developed.

Even the bar?

I deeply miss my ex. The breakup was initiated by me 5 years ago because I was scared to commit. Since then, I’ve gotten married and have a daughter. I’m so embarrassed to admit it but I think about my ex everyday. I am so sad that I walked away from him. Life is ok now - I’m thankful for my family but my heart hurts. How do I move on?

So hubby absolutely hates going to the dentist, and about a year ago he lost one of his tooth crowns and his breath has gotten unbearable. I have tried telling him multiple times that he needs to get it taken care of without telling him about his breath as I don’t want to hurt his feelings or make him feel uncomfortable with no luck. I am to the point where I can’t stand to be close to him and saying hi and bye, good morning and good night is becoming hard to do. I love him, but what do I do?

Had anyone here planned a wedding in 3 months or less? Am I crazy? I’m already legally married (small wedding during Covid) but looking to throw a larger celebration of sorts. Originally wanted next spring but my husband and I are wanting to start trying for kids and so I’m leaning this fall or it’ll have to potentially wait until after we have our first kiddo (don’t want to risk a spring date and end up pregnant ha). So is it crazy to think I can plan something for this fall?

Just had my NIPT/Nuchal Translucency at 12w4d IVF pregnancy and the sonographer said everything looks fine but she wants me to come back in 5 weeks and then again a month later to do the scans again so she can get a clearer picture. She said baby is measuring slightly lower than it should, but it could be that doctors were a few days off on due date (is that a thing with IVF??). She also referred me to get a fetal echo at 20 weeks. Is this normal? I called OB, waiting for her to call me back.

How would you feel if your spouse wanted separate bedrooms? I am divorced, looking for a LTR, and I want my spouse and I to have our own personal space. I don’t want someone physically by my side 24/7, if that makes sense. We are welcome in each other’s bedrooms, but there is no requirement that we stay in the same bedroom all the time.
