  1. I use Native deodorant. DD12 previously used Native, but it didn't quite cut it with pre-teen smell, so she's currently using Dove. DH and DS18 use Dove. We used Schmidt's previously, but it caused irritation.

    Ok, great! Good to know. Dogs are heading downstairs now.  🤣 I will be insisting that the dogs hang in the basement all day!

    IRL friend (who is a snake lover, and would happily remove a snake for me) just stopped by, and we did a quick check of the couch and anyplace our tweens will be hanging down there.  All clear.  The rest of the basement, including the unfinished storage area … we will never find a snake who chooses to hide!  

    And just to reiterate … snake friendly house here, we would just take it outside, but I am totally not up for snake friends popping up when not expected!

    If you think they will attack the snake, I wouldn't do this. They might get hurt.

    Give me a break.  This attitude is, frankly, a huge part of what ails our society.  So you're going to avoid all adversity and keep your kids in a bubble because PTSD?  That's totally unhealthy, unrealistic, and is creating a generation of whining victims.

    Um, no. I literally have 2 children who have PTSD and when they were younger we were told over and over again that children are resilient and they would be fine. They are not fine. My kids are far from kept in a bubble. They know more about the world than they should. And my children/young adults aren't whining victims...thank you very  much.

    Did you watch the video? The child wasn't even upset, just decided not to do an activity that seemed to annoy another person. Hearing an adult say "That's annoying. That's aggravating" in a loud voice, not even directed at the child, is not going to traumatize anyone.

    I was responding to the comment about kids being resilient. We often say they are, but they really aren't as much as we think or hope. I don't think this kid was traumatized, but that wasn't my point.

    I did not have sex with my husband before marriage and I have no regrets about that.    I think actually not having that on the table as something to be concerned about before marriage helped us get to know each other better before we got married.   And we did make out a lot, so it wasn't like it was going from no physical contact to sex.   There's a lot on the way to sex and I am glad we explored that first.

    I was going to say that I assume most couple do that, but then realized that maybe they don't!

    By some of these definitions I've been dating my female friends for the past 25 years...

    Nothing wrong with that!
