[ - ] My sister posts video to Facebook every time her kids perform. They do lots of things very well (dance, piano, singing the National Anthem at basketball games, etc.). None of my friend's other "mom friends" ever "like"s these posts. Should I advise my sister to knock off on these postings? 6 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

Thanks. About 1 year in (separated, not divorced yet). We are mostly doing OK and are in fact still friends but there are minefields for sure. I also feel like we are both struggling with how involved we should be with each other's lives. [ Reply | More

Now, yes. My ex doesn't speak English very well, and my ability to speak his native tongue is fading, so our capacity to fight began to diminish. [ Reply | More

[ - ] Went to outdoors event for new school. Students were asked to make a craft for new school group photo. DS, cranky and indifferent to joys of collage, point blank refused in front of admissions director who was handed out craft materials, claiming that collage was uninteresting in comparison to joys of bouncy castle. admissions directors work is aready done, we are in, but nevertheless, are we doomed? 7 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

I once told an admission director at TT school that my son likes to play with little cars and go to the park. He got in. I am sure she was sick and tired of hearing parents say my K likes to do chemistry and build architectural models! [ Reply | More

Your kid goes to my kid's school. Don't worry about it. Your kid is in and likely you'll never see the admissions director again. By the way, the k teachers are amazing and they get kids like your DC. My DC is not big on crafts either. p.s. you'll love the school! [ Reply | More

[ - ] I was at dds lacrosse tournament today and a group of girls passed by; one of the girls was yelling at her teammate "Emily (or whatever her name was) you're so gay... You're so gay". These kids couldn't have been more than 13 years old. At first I was discusted at the child, but then realized that she probably got it from her parents. Sigh. Just needed to vent. I judge the parents of kids who act this way. 5 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

No way, kids pick that up from older kids. Teenagers often say horrible shit and preteens copy. They stop in college usually. [ Reply | More

Do they really mean it or is it just a stock phrase? I'm not condoning it, I'm just curious. I have college age cousins who hang out with friends who are gay and they all say it. [ Reply | More

If a 5 yr old said that I'd wonder more about home, but at 13 - it's all about the peer group. Those girls may have the kindest parents in the world, they may not, but what you're hearing and seeing says more about who they are hanging out with than anything else. [ Reply | More

How long are his days? If he works as many hours as you but those hours are crammed into three days, you two should split the work, I guess. Otherwise yes, since he has two days off, he should do more. But I don't think either of you should ever get a free pass on the housework, the busier spouse can always help [ Reply | More

DH works usually Mon-fri, but travels a lot and sometimes he has to work 7 weekdays. I work usually 6 days a week and sometimes 7 days (Exhausting I know) but he does the house work when I have to work more and I do the house work when he has to work longer hours, and if both are working longer hours, house work has to wait. But he has always help. [ Reply | More

I don't think income matters. Is he home alone those 2 weekdays or does he have a kid with him? If the former, yes, more of the housework than you, if the latter, no. [ Reply | More

Not exotic but just a little bit of a different combo. Veggies and rice yes but the fried egg on top. That's different for me and I'm not a super plain picky eater. [ Reply | More

Haha, I've posted about how well-rounded my dd's meals are in the past. Well, I'm 10 weeks and can't even think about touching food to cook it. So poor thing is having an amy's organic pizza, green beans and broccoli. And we are having Indian food delivered for the 1,000,000th night in a row (I'm grossed out by most stuff, but spicy spicy spicy sag paneer is a go). Hopefully I'll be in better shape in a few weeks.
