Almost everyone CAN homeschool. Whether or not you SHOULD is between you and God but the barriers are smaller than they feel.

@Elliesmommyy23 ☹️ Prayers for you!!

@GreatLakesWife_ Chicken pox is no biggie, but annoying, HFM is TERRIBLE - just know this from my childhood and professional experience. We managed to miss them all by breastfeeding and opting out of daycare/preschool. We were a relatively healthy household until our oldest decided to go public

I’m gonna be honest, I have no clue what most childhood diseases are. Croup? Thrush? Hand foot mouth? No idea what any of them entail

@Nyct0phil3_x Oh no!! What do you do when this happens? Can you just wash it back to normal? I’m cursed/blessed with pin-straight, couldn’t-curl-it-if-I-needed-to hair.

The younger 3 kids have found all my styling hairbrushes and brushed each others hair. What is the problem, you ask? The kids have 3A hair. They all look like Hair Bear now 😭

@agreatdayinnc They are SO mean

Ppl should be far more scared of Geese than this poll shows

@CatholicCharm I don’t disagree that these brands are overpriced but what’s unfortunate is that we can’t fully separate lead from minerals and crops. .02mcg is a very small amount, all things considered. Probably less lead than many babies get through breast milk.

@AniseNot Are they just broke or something? My mom gifts is family heirlooms when they’re low on gifts but I can’t imagine it could be something super oversized… she does send clothes that might not fit sometimes (just in case) but it’s never for a gift-giving occasion.

For the Man’s birthday his mother sent him a coat that looked good quality & nice & he was so flippant, almost annoyed, about it. He was being rude about it. His family was visiting so I played it off like “Ohh how sweet, very nice coat. That will come in handy NEXT WINTER” He is often annoyed by his mother & my tendency is to think about how I would feel of my son treats me like that when he’s an adult & I mostly tell him to be nicer to his mom Anyways, I was cleaning up after last week’s mayhem & I pick up this coat & realize it is fkng enormous. Check the inside & see this thing is a 2XL. There’s no purchase tags on it This man is 6’2” & 180lbs soaking wet, but he does have a stepdad who wears 2XL You guys this woman regifted him one of his stepdad’s massive coats WHAT A B I’m so mad for him

@DaringGlory Being able to talk and agree is key! But I will say not being on the same financial page is not the same as someone not understanding how, having different habits, or having different priorities in the moment. You gotta get creative sometimes!

@TimeTrekFam Being poor together was a really useful part of my marriage. It has made it a lot more fun to be not-poor together also. But then, I knew I needed to be on the same page with my husband financially before I met him, so it was a dealbreaker issue for me.

I’m convinced married couples that keep finances separate have one party that doesn’t know how to poor. Good (?) news is, you’re gonna learn.

@meatypepper That is so bizarre to me! My 3yo is still napping strong, though it’s a bit of a struggle on the weekends when the whole family is home. Even if he doesn’t nap, I enforce ‘quiet time’

fine. i'll say it. i think my son has completely dropped his nap at 20 months. we are going on week 3 of no naps.

@Nyct0phil3_x Agree! Plus and it’s doing your kid a disservice by protecting them when the consequences are less severe as a minor. Same scenario but as an adult? Somebody’s gonna teach the bully 😬

@TimeTrekFam SAME. "But what if it was your kid?!" Firstly it wouldnt be, secondly if my kid is being an asshole in some way I have zero issue with someone else telling them to knock it off or that they're being an asshole lol. Actions have consequences.

"What if it was YOUR kid who was bullying the 11 year old autistic child?!" Well firstly Lori, it wouldn't be, because my kids aren't feral little reprobates who are left to terrorise neighbourhood children.

The thing I hate about should I/shouldn’t I abortion discourse is that they think the mistake was getting pregnant.

@OVTweetmarck If you’re scared and anxious, know that won’t ever go away even if that baby does. Those negative feelings will turn into guilt and regret. Don’t do it.

@Nyct0phil3_x But kids don’t know that, my thought it maybe it’ll scare him 😂 since his parents don’t care? I’m so anti-bullying that I wouldn’t even get mad if someone told off my kid for being a jerk.

@TimeTrekFam Police rarely do anything in my experience - except when the victim fights back of course. Yeah I'd have gone off at the parents and the kid, I wouldn't have bundled him anywhere but I am not above ripping into a bully whatever their age. I have no patience for bullies.

@New_E_Mom @TheFoxMatriarch I agree with fewer wanting to have kids, but also stress is a major contributor to infertility.

@TheFoxMatriarch i feel like julie probably didnt mean that....i imagine she meant it at a population level, being spiritually ill means fewer people want to have kids

This is gross gross GROSS. You're not infertile because you aren't spiritually healthy

@TheFoxMatriarch My brothers were responsible for mowing but my dad made me do it a few times just to prove I could.

Listen I had an older sister and no brothers. We did this. Probably would have even if we did have a brother

@peachsweet_tea LOL we grabbed a clearance toy for each kid plus peeps, Cadburys, and an egg dye kit.

I hit targets Easter gift idea list on their app for 8-10 year olds and one of the first 3 items is a Nintendo switch… who is dropping $400 for an Easter basket. My goodness

@JMDucksworth I do this too! They just don’t make it like the used to

Been thrifting stainless steel pots, pans, steamer baskets, mixing bowls, and colanders. Also got some heavy duty commercial style tongs, slotted spoon, and a ball whisk. 75 cents to two bucks a piece. Can't believe people get rid of some of this stuff.

@FraserBerryFarm Noooo! I can’t even chop them barehanded, I almost always wear gloves or get creative with scissors

Cut up a bunch of jalapeño and touched my nose and now I am on FIRE.

@BeckyTheChicken @musings_blonde @WonderWomaNinja I crack the door when it’s done and that helps with the plastic lids. Metal, ceramic, and glass are nice and dry every time.

@musings_blonde @WonderWomaNinja Do you have plastic dishes or ceramic? That might be the difference. The water used at the end of the cycle is so hot that the dishes warm up and cause the water to turn into steam. It doesn’t work on plastic dishes, though.

🤯 what IF.. hear me out. What if there was a vibration thing in dishwashers to knock excessive water off of stuff.. AND a fan to help dry… 🤩
