He has made it the proposed subject of a future management meeting, to come up with a policy. Which we have already. Guessing he wants something more draconian. I will wait for him to look like an AH and then will have a Barbie like speech about what working parents are going through right now. And if we want to drive every working parent out of the workplace then let's go for it. And I have full time childcare, but my child lives here and I can't make her invisible and silent. The same thing could happen if I had multiple caregivers here.
I feel this so deeply. I could have written it myself. The daycare world (or world in general) is not set up for two working parents and it seems to always fall on the mom (at least in my experiences!)
We have 2 children (almost 3 and almost 5). We thought we were set on being done having children but we are suddenly really wanting a 3rd. We’re working parents (but we work from home), flexible jobs, live comfortably. We have lots of family around us. Our life seems very harmonious right now. But we have the urge for one more. How did you all decide to stop at two or keep going for one more? I know it’s a personal/situational question I just want to hear others insights.
I bought the gift cards before I checked to make sure my size was available (typically stupid me). How often do the sizes on adidas pros get restocked?
We are going to Disney for 4 days in November with a 2 and 4 year old. I’m trying to have very realistic expectations, not over-spend and try and make this as fun as possible. I have a couple questions, with my kids ages, is it necessary to do a genie pass+? I think them just being at Disney seeing the characters and doing little kiddie rides will be enough. We’re not thrill seekers, just trying to enjoy the parks and experience.
If you are going to MVMCP you should plan on riding most of the rides at Magic Kingdom during that event. That would help you avoid spending on Genie+. I have found G+ to be useful at MK for rides like Peter Pan (always has a long line) but lines should be manageable at the party.
Did daycare drop offs get incredibly hard for anyone after their kid turned 2? My 2yo has been going to daycare since he was an infant but recently he started resisting going and crying at dropoffs. If he doesn't cry he still sulks. He does fine soon after and has fun throughout the day and seems happy otherwise it's just drop offs.
I wear my Apple Watch and the garmin 45s. Apple Watch dies too quickly for my long runs (2.5+ hours) and I got the 45s for $100 at kohls so this strategy has been working for me!
I am returning asics evoride. I naively removed the lose tag that comes on the shoelaces. Will that be an issue with the return? I have all the other packaging and they are unused (I need wide).
I have a 100 mile review of these that I just posted a fews days ago. I know it's only 100 miles but they look like they only have about 20 miles on them.
Buying husband a beard trimmer for Father’s Day. Any suggestions? Looking to spend $100-ish. He has a cheaper one and wants an upgrade hence the $100 budget
Ok for some reason I thought it retailed for more but you just had me double check and they retailed for 4295 (plus tax) so yeah not a good deal. Ugh I need to just wait for the release to come out so I get the warranty
Our 2 year old refuses to eat fruit. we offer it everyday and he has no interest. We’ve seen a eating therapist and she thinks it’s just a behavior thing. We will continue to offer it at all meals but in the meantime, is there a vitamin we can give while we continue to work on it?
appreciate others experiences. We had medicated IUI scheduled this week. Trigger shot Tuesday and insemination on Thursday. When Thursday they instructed husband to collect sperm sample at home then drive it 45 minutes to clinic around 8am. I came in at 10am and they said none of his sperm was alive/viable. Has anyone else ever been told to drive their sperm 45 minutes? I’m so disappointed and feel like we got really terrible advice from our clinic. Now they are making us wait until next month to try IUI again.
I have fully trained for a half marathon. On average run 9:30-10:00 minute miles for my longer runs and 8:30-9:00 minute milers for short distances. I want to do a 2hr half. Does this seem possible with my training?
I never thought I would say this but im considering a Disney cruise. I have a few questions though. Is it relaxing for the parents? What I really want is a kid free vacation but that’s not practical right now with a 2&4yo. So this seems like it could be the next best thing because there’s drop off on the boat & babysitting. Price is a small factor but being able to relax is most important. Obviously spending a lot of the time with our kids too but at least having a couple hours a day to ourselves. TIA
I have had strep 3x in 2023 and a sinus infection (sick 4 times this year alone & strep the second time came back as an abscess). What vitamins/supplements are you all taking to stay healthy? I’m desperate!!!!

Thanks everyone!
The 1099-R will show an early distribution, no known exception. The IRA custodian is not responsible for determining the taxable amount.
Very helpful. Thank you!
Yes. Drain hose between unit and wall most likely cause. Reroute or extend hose.
How do you reroute it?

I think i see the oh damn I’ve been caught look and is desperately trying to calculate ground to raccoon drop ratio
He actually started climbing after we found him trying to paw the screen door open 😂
normal raccoon activity...
I know nothing about raccoon. Im surprised this is normal.. we tried to shoo him away but he or she was not afraid. Is that normal?
These are technically unisex, correct?
Is there a way to get monthly receipts for the monthly membership? My employer will reimburse me but I have to give them a receipt or an invoice. TIA!
Yes, go to
This is awesome thank you!

its free money so its not like you cant use it in the future. That or resell them later.
That’s true. I feel better about it now!

Thank you! Does this sound like a fulfilling trip (while not overdoing it):

Yes, yes and yes. Dealing with this too. Both of my kids have so much fun while they’re there and that’s what gives me solace.

Your review was helpful thank you!
For those that use just run (outdoors) and an Apple Watch, does the watch ever show your pace?

This just happened to me. Where did you buy them? The store I bought them from replaced them immediately:) you could try!
1300/month for 2 toddlers in the Suburbs of Cleveland ohio. This includes our part time daycare and part time nanny.
Need advice. I have a chance to buy a peloton tread plus for $4500. Thoughts? I wish we knew one they were going to release the plus again!
That’s….a lot of money. I think that’s more than it cost with Peloton.
Ok for some reason I thought it retailed for more but you just had me double check and they retailed for 4295 (plus tax) so yeah not a good deal. Ugh I need to just wait for the release to come out so I get the warranty
I had blisters forming with my v4 but when I changed socks it solved the problem.

I love my v4s. I use them for long and short runs and walks and are comfortable
