I"m an adult convert. I have a lot of LDS friends who married someone who wasn't. The religious issue for them didn't get bad until the kids came. Then the LDS parent wanted the kid raised in the church and the other parent did not but was not active in their faith. The biggest issue with marrying someone outside of the LDS faith is that church is a HUGE part of our life. We have 2 hours (love the change from 3) of church on Sun. We have a weekly activity for kids starting at 8 yo. There's daily seminary for the high school kids. Depending on your calling, you will have additional hours of prep. I'm a secretary in the Young Women's organization so I have those duties that I do weekly, a monthly meeting, and if needed I have to teach. My DH is a secretary for the Bishop. He has to be at the church about 1.5 hrs before church and then stays as long as needed. He also is at the church on Tues night while the Bishop meets with people. Sometimes he will be there from 7-10. My 16 yo is a secretary for her class. She is expected to be at the weekly activities and has a monthly meeting. I could see where someone not of our faith would get resentful of the amount of time that we devote to our church activities and callings. Add in what the others said about having the same values and dating outside the faith would be difficult.

I was wearing mine when he was 4 yo in the Ergo. His legs were getting too long and he complained that it hurt his crotch. He was still within the weight limit of 50 lbs. I believe he was around 45 lbs. I was still able to carry him around without difficulty. Was great when we were touring a historic home and he was easily contained. I did have to watch out for him grabbing stuff.

My DD school choir has matching black dresses for the girls (short sleeve, sweetheart neckline, ankle length) and the boys wear tuxedos with black bowties.

I was also going to suggest Facebook Marketplace.

😢

Gee, I'm so surprised. 🙄

The guy came to set up our internet and asked me for a username. I didn't want my actual name so I picked the street name. I use it a lot but not exclusively.

This is the best update you've ever had. Hope that everything falls into place and you can be done with him soon!

Hilarious! I love the details that can be seen when these are huge. 🤡

When I need a laugh I watch clips of Ellen, James Cordon, & Graham Norton on youtube.

😢 Sorry.

Hugs!

Where did you see it? Sounds like something my 16 yo dd would like.

When I broke my wrist and had to see a couple of new doctors, I asked ahead of time about paperwork because I needed someone else to fill it out for me. All of the places I went though asked me to come earlier to complete paperwork which I had already done at home.

I feel ya. We're wanting to move and need to paint & carpet the interior but my kids will just mess it up. So stressful!

I couldn't even get the login page to load yesterday or this morning. I didn't even have to login just now.

Totally inappropriate!

I didn't used to but now that I'm reading more variety I've done it a couple of times. I need to do an abandoned shelf on goodreads.

That's what I use too. Easy and free.

What a scary encounter. Sounds like the guy wasn't trying to help but trying to abduct her. I would never touch someone's wheelchair. I would hold a door open but I do that for everyone. I have a child who at 10 still asks very loudly about people with differences. I shush her and then talk about it later. Last time she very loudly said something about the cashier's ears looking gross (lady had gauges and facial rings). I AGAIN told her that it isn't nice to comment about people's differences. She's the only one of my kids who has ever done this and I've been working on her for years.

We scrape off any food and I do soak bowls that have oatmeal or stuff like that. We try to run the dishwasher immediately so food doesn't have time to get stuck on.

I meant to donate to different places. Great on getting your stuff done.

Thanks!

When my fellow homeschool friend purges her homeschool supplies she'll let all of us know and we can come over and take what we want. I don't know what she does with what's left. I also live with a bunch of people who won't get rid of anything. I asked one child to collect at the Littlest Pet Shop creatures so I could take them to GoodWIll since they never play with them. She told me I was destroying her childhood. I'd call and see if there's a shelter that would want the toys if the GoodWIll won't take them. Or see if another location will. We have one location about 5 minutes away but there are at least two others in my county.

My friend is the queen of decluttering. She says to just fill the box and donate. Don't sort things to take to different places or you'll never do it.
