  1. I'm not sure if being prepared for what's to come will make it better or worse!
  2. Gee, I can't wait to start menopause now... Sorry everything sucks right now!
  3. Ugh, posting things like that about teenage kids is icky. What high school kid wants their mom revealing personal details on social media?
  4. If you could get a diagnosis from his doctor, trying ADHD meds would give you a pretty clear answer.
  5. Yeah, I'd want to know what this means exactly. Are the finances pretty simple, like mortgage/rent, typical bills (streaming services, food, electricity, etc? Could you just have him pay certain bills and you pay other ones? Since he makes double your income, he could pay the more expensive ones. If you wanted a joint account for savings, each could have a percentage direct-deposited into that account. Each person could then have their own checking account for paying bills and spending on whatever they want.
  6. DH and I have separate accounts. He pays the mortgage and some other things from his account, and I buy groceries, pay heat/electricity, and some other things from mine. We could use the other's account if we wanted to. I love having separate accounts, though, so I don't have him seeing all the money I waste at Goodwill, ThredUp, and the natural foods store 🙂
  7. If I had to survive on only my income, I'd need to eat really cheaply. If I had access to my normal grocery budget, I'd probably still spend a lot. I love grocery shopping and trying new things 🙂
  8. My cat had two or three UTIs in a row. It was horrible. The vet told me to completely clean the litter box each week - dump, wash with soap, refill with new litter. She didn't have problems after that. Maybe that would help a little.
  9. Yay! They're way better than regular sponges because they dry so quickly. It's also fun how they're hard when they're dry, and soft when they're in hot water.
  10. Ouch! Looks painful and itchy. I'd go to the doctor. Do you have any gluten issues? Celiac can cause a rash like that.
  11. Omg! I'm a crazy fangirl of Scrub Daddies. And look what else you can buy... https://smileshop.scrubdaddy.com/product-category/scrub-daddy-merchandise/ Look at the Halloween costumes... 😂
  12. We lived in Boulder, CO for six years without a car. They have a really good bus system that goes all over town, plus we were fine with biking when we didn't want to take the bus. It's a really bike-aware community, and they have lots of dedicated paved bike paths through town (not just along the side of the road, although there's that, too). It was amazing. I miss the bike paths so much! Where I live now, I could live without a car but my day to day travel would be really limited. I'd need to work in town, too, which I currently don't. It would be really tough.
  13. Ew! I've never heard of that. Do kids in your area hesitate to play in the snow because there might be snow fleas??
  14. In public school, I'm seeing so many kids with organizational issues. First grade isn't too young to have kids do things like put their worksheets away in correct folders, put books away in a specific place on a shelf, etc. I'd make sure to do those things daily, and you can bump it up as he gets older and has more stuff to manage. It would also be cool to teach him to use a simple checklist, and that could translate to using checklists in the future, and also using a planner to keep organized.
