- I agree
- Did the mother reimburse you for the ticket?
- Np. You can get credit at the movie theater
- Ah.
- No- we didn’t make clear that we bought them in advance. I feel petty to go after them for the $. There is a cultural issue too
- I'd be supportive of the grounding. I mean. Kids who mistreat their siblings suck.
- Np. You can get credit at the movie theater
- Yeah, the mom sounds like an ass
- I agree completely. I also think grounding for fighting is beyond silly, but that's for a whole other post. Sorry about your dd.

- I want out, but I feel morally obligated. I am younger and earn more than my dh.

- As a health teacher, this is not a big deal. And we're more focused on a lot of the basics.
- it is a big deal when you are lying.
- That isn't lying. I'd explain it to you more this way. Sometimes people who look like boys to you menstruate. At any rate. This isn't a major issue. With younger kids, I am more...(more)

- Toddler Why is keto so successful? It seems to be the most raved about of any fad diet I've witnessed.
- I’m sure it’s because it works and quickly but it’s not sustainable imo
- why not?
- Didn’t work for me at all. Beachbody is the only thing I’m successful with
- Hm. I wonder why
- as someone just in week one of doing it, I think it's the high fat. It keeps you full and so you don't associate losing weight with starvation.
- every fad diet gets raved about. remember south beach? atkins? hell, that apple cider vinegar cleanse?
- why do you think this is a fad? its been around for decades.
- as a treatment for epilepsy, yes.
- as eating for health and weight loss
- as a treatment for epilepsy, yes.

- I’m sure it’s because it works and quickly but it’s not sustainable imo

- Toddler Have you ever resigned a job you loved where they loved you? How did that go? Leaving for a short commute and more money/ more responsibility .
- you won't look back
- Yes
- How did they take it ?
- I did. I needed the money so it was a no brainer.
- It’s an15% increase so not life changing but Nice and physically easier commute wise

- what town?
- that's terrible. Absolutely shameful.
- That is really sad. If everyone who did not get into ivy did that we would have no people left
- Um - this was just the EA/ED round. This makes no sense whatsoever
- I thought you could only apply to one ED
- We don't know where this kid applied
- It makes sense if she didn’t get into her ED school
- right but then it means she got rejected from 1 school. It makes no sense to commit suicide over 1 fucking school.
- Sorry - the way the OP worded it, it sounds like the dc wanted to get into any Ivy League college - NOT one specific school (in which case Ivy doesn't matter)
- I thought you could only apply to one ED
- what school
- Toddler The last 6 months or so i have had noticeable depression right after my period begins, like lasting days 2-5. WTF. is this a peri thing? i am not a depressed kind of person but I...(more)
