Almost, except I put some on for Easter. I did a week's worth of laundry and there was 1 pair of my underwear in it.

More from the confessional:
- my yoga pants are getting tight
- I dislike the beard on DH
- I want to go shopping for hours, any store
- sex every other day
- the toenail situation is dire

+ a million! Not as tragic as your situation, but I had four miscarriages, including one after a strong heartbeat was found. Do, my DD is an only child. At a school event, another parent literally laughed at me for having only one child and how I never had any right to complain about parenthood (I never do anyway because I don’t want to be judged) and how easy it must be. Sometimes I just want to tell people like this about the miscarriages so they feel like sh!t.

With you both. I smile blandly through the comments that people make about my "easy only" and how I have no idea "what it's really like," whatever that means. I know everyone has their own crap that they deal with, but I definitely don't have an only by choice and the parents rich with more children can be weirdly and sometimes hurtfully smug.

I fully support your right to shut that sh*t down immediately. An inappropriate comment gets an inappropriate reply. "Yeah, you're right! It is easy! Sucks about all my dead babies, but I'm really making out on the workload front child-wise!" Let them stumble over their words and feel like crap. They should learn to think twice before making those kinds of comments.

There are entire communities where the elderly are kind of warehoused and dependent upon aides to dress, bathe, move, toilet, diaper change, feed and otherwise attend to and it’s all impersonal and isolating. My parent was in a lauded, expensive facility in a private room and it was beyond depressing and dire. We hired a private duty aide and visited to ensure our parent was rarely alone. Otherwise, the frail elderly are left alone for hours. Call buttons ignored.

My parent literally wasted away and died while sleeping. I’ve changed my medical directive that I am not be be kept alive by any extraordinary means/DNR.

This. I think coronvirus in nursing homes is an act of kindness from the universe.

I could afford to buy a couple but I worry that by the time I could use them, the restaurant or business will be out of business and I won't be able to use them. I think many will fold soon.

School will be there in the Fall and the kids can repeat. It won't cost the parents more.

We still do not have the distance-learning packets from FFX county, nor any real time distance leading elementary lessons - after 3 weeks.

But my kids recognized one of their teachers in front of their school when we rode by yesterday: he was passing out free lunch.

I pay taxes to the school to educate by kids, not to run a soup kitchen for the 5% farms. Teachers are supposed to teach.

I pay taxes to educate your kid and have teachers hand out lunches to FARMs children. I also pay to educate my children privately. They have no packets but intelligent ostentatious who can manage Grade 4 and 6 work.

Why can’t the admin people at schools do this to free up teachers?[/quote]


Seriously there are so many school employees that are being paid and not doing a thing right now. I can’t believe they would have the teachers do this.

FFX county just cancelled distance learning for the week.

Teaching - they are not.
