We introduced my little one to "pony baths" at a very early age. Once the baby rolls were gone we didn't have to worry about any illegal cheese factories setting up in their little folds.

We only have one, they get a bath or a shower every other day and a wash rag before bed on the days in-between.

I've had my kid randomly throw up as soon as we got to a birthday party. We make plans for a date and kid spikes a fever. Reschedule a date and it's strep. Make plans for a playdate and it's HFM.

Some of us want nothing more than to have Mom friends with kids the same age, but these disasters are the story of our life.

When you sit down ask for a side of Mac or fries or whatever with your drinks. Having a snack helps curb this behavior. I promise the wait staff doesn't mind.

That being said no one is 100% right. You just do what you have to in order to survive the chapter your in.

Your comment about being stressed angry and depressed is most concerning to me. I felt this way when in the trenches of PPD and PPA. Do you have someone to talk to? I had a wonderful pediatrician who could see it all over me. My husband's best man was married to a psychologist we texted her and got medication, it saved our lives.

There's an ice cream shop in Marietta Georgia that sells it, and the St Louis zoo has it as well.

The good news is you are just 17. The bad news is you may still have to put up with this for a little while.

My story was similar to yours. I'm now 38, I've been married for 10 years. My partner and I travel all the time and have the sweetest kid.

Make a bucket list. Do not give it deadlines there shouldn't be a "visit ______ before I'm 19" anywhere on your list. Just write down all the things you want to do sometime. When you're out on your own and working start checking off this list.

Put down free and cheap things you can do locally so that when you are broke you can still make progress. Put down wishful thinking things, bands you want to see, adventures you hope to have. You may never get to do those things but you can still dream of them.

As for my own list, I'll never see phantom on Broadway, I might see it in London. I didn't get to see My Chemical Romance when I was an 18 year old kid, but I'm going to see them later this year. I haven't been to a renfaire but my best friend and hair stylist has started hosting on in our home town, I missed it last year because my kid got sick.

These lists will change and grow with you. You will do the same.

I've seen a similar circumstance backfire. Started in the 5th grade. Before they were in highschool they had an addiction that led them to being groomed by someone over the age of 22. It was awful. We tried all we could to help them and keep it from happening. This led to them lying and hiding as much as they could.

Eventually it all came out.

Now is the time to teach safety and appropriate boundaries.

He's trying to push the idea that he has won 3 terms isn't he?

I might pull a Karen move and walk back in demanding a refund.

There's obvious crap on the cup.

I disagree with everything that the former puppet ever said.

Desi Disney

I have heard great things about her.

There are folks who decorate the rooms. I would look up a few of them and see if they can help make this trip extra special.

Hop in the shower with the white one and you'll instantly choose red. The white will be transparent.

This is going to sound strange. There are some really great artist on Photoshop request. Maybe with some size info they can create a face for that piece? They will ask for tips.

I'll be obsessing over this dress for the next year. Thank you.

You are the expert here.

I would encourage every church in the community to keep their doors open. These centers fill up fast.

They won't do it because they don't understand the concept of "love your neighbor" . . .

I double dog dare ya to prove me wrong.

I had similar and went to the ENT. I'm on day 3 post tonsillectomy. Right now I'm miserable but not as miserable as I was.

Did she not realize that the poor woman was once someone's little girl? If that was her daughter she wouldn't defend him.

As a woman this sickens me. As a mother it makes my blood boil.

This looks too similar to my grandmother's handwriting when I finally convinced a doctor to check her brain. They stopped counting tumors when they got to 13.

I hope whoever wrote this is in better shape.
