  • Y’all are crazy. Very responsible. I drop my phone every single day. Often outside onto the concrete. I break my screen protectors all the time. I’ve only ever messed up an actual screen once (stupid like wrap around screen so the case was not sufficient). I buy extremely cheap cases and screen protectors, and they always work.

    I’m clumsy, but also I guess thoughtless. I’m constantly bending over to pick up my kid and it just tumbles out of my pockets. Idk. The screen protectors last between one week and 6 months. Usually a couple of months, but then the cracks/chips are so little I just take ages to replace it, so I’m only buying one like twice a year. You can get 3 for under 10 bucks so it’s basically worth the cost to not have to be precious about your phone all the time.

    That’s not a great take.

    Children are people, don’t make them wear diapers! They can pee anywhere they want!

    Children are people! Don’t limit their screen time! If you just give them plenty of toys, they will be capable of limiting their own screen time!

    Children are people! They are resilient! Let them watch R-rated films and have unfettered access to the Internet!

    No one is talking about putting a leash on an eight year old. We’re talking about letting a 14 month old get to experience the privilege of walking in a public place rather than being trapped on Mom’s hip or in a stroller.




  • I’m glad I am reading your comments. I am that kitchen novice. And so is my husband. We’ve been trying to move away from Teflon since we had a baby, and are struggling to make stainless steel worth the extra time it takes to clean. I’ve been feeling very frustrated that despite trying to do the heat it up and use oil thing, it’s still awful, and I figured either we’re dumb and bad or everyone online is just lying. We just went back to Teflon, because people online say it should be perfectly non stick and then also that you can only clean the stainless steel with a soft cloth. It’s hell.











  • You should stay with your parents until you have a solid childcare situation. Childcare is nutso expensive, but also nerve-wracking to not know for sure if your kid is being treated well. It’s possible your mom may still be willing and happy to pitch in even if you’re out on your own, but right now if your kid is sick and has to stay home from school, I’m guessing your mom takes over and you don’t have to miss work. That’s crazy valuable.


  • My family is all on messenger, and so it’s either gotta be me or my husband using it or else we won’t know any of the family plans (or daily discussions which is my main source of socialization.) Same goes for my friend group. I’d be very lonely without it, so that ends up a lot more important than my moral objections to meta.

    No one in the comments seems to point out: all of your needs and wants are being met, but the fact that she sought an external relationship indicates that her needs and wants are not being met.

    If you’re ok with the cheating and want to keep her, you probably need to look into why she feels she isn’t getting what she needs at home (which as others have mentioned, is ok if you’re both open to an open marriage!)

    I’m sorry she wasn’t open with you about her needs being met, and I’m sorry she went behind your back to meet them. I hope you’ll both be ok, man.
