- One last try
- Toddler IM DOWN WITH BERNIE!!!
- I hope Bernie goes down.
- Toddler Would you live in an apartment with a prominent view of the WTC?

- Your dad?
- no. a friend's husband and dad to their kids. he is leaving the kids too. just bc he's "not happy anymore"
- So he doesn’t want any custody?
- My dhs brother left his dw and their 2 yo last year bc he doesn’t want to work
- no. a friend's husband and dad to their kids. he is leaving the kids too. just bc he's "not happy anymore"
- 10000000 yes
- Maybe the money is not there
- He’s not divorcing his kids. He’s divorcing his wife. And maybe he can’t afford to keep the house and a second home
- he can afford to get a two bedroom apt. he makes $150k a year
- that is likely not enough to maintain two households
- um, that isn't much
- Lol. How do you know. Divorces are expensive and that’s not a lot of money to support 2 homes
- np our hhi is higher than that and if we divorced, we could not afford to keep our house and get dh a 2 bedroom. no way. we'd both be either in tiny houses or 2 bedroom apts
- How much does the mother make?
- like 35k
- She'll need a smaller place
- she needs a better paying job. Then maybe they can swing keeping the house, but a court isn't going to force him to wait 9 more years for his equity in the house, he'd have to...(more)

- he can afford to get a two bedroom apt. he makes $150k a year
- Who will pay the mortgage and taxes? Does either parent need to get money from the sale now to.love on?
- the dad's salary should continue to help support the kids in their home. Neither parent would be able to afford a house on their own on their salaries

- Then neither parent loves in a house. It's that easy
- the dad's salary should continue to help support the kids in their home. Neither parent would be able to afford a house on their own on their salaries

- ...understand"
- No you wanted to fight and win he wanted to make up.
- op: no i didn't. I just wanted to have him stop commenting on how much food she eats. he does it to me too. Never to ds
- No you wanted to win and when he came to make up you made the wrong choice. Topic aside this is not how you manage a relationship.
- op: no i did not want to win. I want him to stop commenting on what dd and i eat and acting like we eat too much.
- "I just pleaded with him to let me handle the food stuff with dd" stop trying to win the argument save your marriage
- No you wanted to win and when he came to make up you made the wrong choice. Topic aside this is not how you manage a relationship.
- op: no i didn't. I just wanted to have him stop commenting on how much food she eats. he does it to me too. Never to ds
- Your son Should not be involved in this

- op: i have been trying to get him to go for a long time. he refuses. i go, and am thinking about going with the kids
- you need a good family therapist
- need to learn to communicate....you should never involve your kids....you should also never disparage your spouse like that....there was no need to say it like that to your DD
- op: I didn't disparage him. He started screaming at me in front of both kids. He admonished dd while she and ds were both eating the same amount of whipped cream.
- is your dd overweight?
- op: not at all, and neither am I. We are both very thin. He's become manorexic after he got fired from his job and now is starting his own company trying to use all of our...(more)

- Not that part - the part about poor timing on hearings by waiting for Mueller report
- Not to my ears. At all. He’s interrupting. And taking credit for the green new deal.
- MA dem mom here and ITA. That being said, if he gets the nomination I’ll vote for him in a heartbeat.
- I cant wven imagine him getting enough donors to be on the debate stage.
- Why is he running?
- My DH says so he can talk
- He is the fucking worst
- Toddler My DH has developed a gut. It's so unattractive. It's not like a normal pot belly though.
- And what have you developed?
- I have my flaws too, but I keep in shape
- Bitchiness
- Does he drink a lot? My husband cut out alcohol midweek, and in that annoying man way lost five pounds in no time at all. He’s only 5’8, so has to be careful.

- well OP stated in her post "noone ever comes" which implies there is someone out there who could come.
- Neither you or your dh has anyone?!
- Not everyone has family to go to.
- Why not?
- I wish my family could hang out with yours. I feel the same at holidays. It’s lonely
- ditto.
- This is one reason I did not want to have a family of 4.
- How big is your family?
- So you need to “make” it special. Sometimes we go on trips instead
- i have that and its not all that. accept and enjoy what you have
- I LOBE doing holidays with just my family of 4.
- I get it
- my sister will have you on xmas eve. the more the merrier
- We just have my grumpy, judgy in laws. It's much worse imo, you could do a travel tradition.

- Toddler Spin off from the no thank you post. Dd’s friend has canceled their outing together twice, last minute both times. No text or call from the mom either.
- How old?
- 11
- Not sure this is a mom situation
- what does the mother have to do with anything
- Her child keeps changing her mind the last minute (literally), she could reach out and explain
- If they’re in ms, parents stop having a say in social plans. Can’t make their kids play with someone.
- np: I totally make my middle school kids follow through on commitments. Yes, if you invited Susie over, you will be a good host while Susie is there, you will not call Susie 20...(more)
- You do realize kids sometimes make a plan and don’t tell their parents

- Her child keeps changing her mind the last minute (literally), she could reach out and explain
- Did the mom ever know about these plans?
- Yes
- Tell her to move on and find other friends. Been there with my now 20 yr old dd.
- Yup, working on it
- It’s the best advice you can give, find friends who WANT to be with you.
- Two cancellations and you're teaching your kid to dump the friend? Terrible modeling, IMO/
- Np, you want your child to be friends with kids they can rely on and have their back. Not kids who cancel last minute with no explanation
- Yup, working on it
- how is a mom part of this? how annoying if she called on behalf of her 11 yr old son
- This could be my dd. She is very outgoing, but sometimes gets horrible social anxiety episodes and cancels last minute without even telling me beforehand.
- dont let her do that
- You should do something to deal with that anxiety
- We are (therapy and meds) but it’s happened a couple of times.
- that isn't ok
- No way my mom would let me do this to my friends
- Everyone posting about making someone with anxiety do something clearly doesn’t have a child with debilitating anxiety.
- I have anxiety and so does one of my dc, and the gold standard treatment for anxiety is exposure therapy. Meaning yes, yes indeed you make them confront what they're anxious...(more)
- That’s all well and good and what the books and therapists say but in the heat of the moment it’s not always possible.
- It's totally possible if you want to treat the anxiety, and especially in a simple case like following through on plans with another person, which also impacts that person.

- So if I'm planning the outing she picks another friend because the other one is unreliable
- That is the age kids are starting to control plans. It’s tricky
- when my dd was about that age, we had plans a couple of times with another girl and once we showed up to pick her up at her house and her dad came out and said she had "changed...(more)
- You did the right thing
- So hard. Dds best 7-8th grade friend canceled constantly weekends
- Love how it has to be the mom. It’s always the mom’s fault. Dad has more important things to do.
- Only because I know the mom and not the dad

- Yes.
- Why don’t you suggest alternatives?
- I did. Said I had a busy week (which I do) but offered 2 evenings to meet for an early drink.
- It's a fair question of they suggest and you just say "no" rather than "this week isn't good, how about next Wednesday?"
- I did suggest alternatives. Forgot to mention that.
- Your schedule sounds frustrating for a stranger, do you not get that?
- Np it was two suggestions!
- Yes and the guy just wants to meet.
