Continuing the fast food discussion. I haven't had meat in almost 8 years but when I did, my favorite fast food restaurant was Burger King. Double cheese burger!

Oh you guys are talking about the dreaded climbing out of the crib milestone. My kid turned 2 at the end of May and he has yet to do it, it's like a miracle. Sometimes he starts to put his leg up on the side and I just hold my breath and don't react. I'd like him to stay in the crib until at least 5. That's not crazy, right? I love that you've just jumped into our group. Yes, DS decided "fuck the crib" last night. I eventually got him back in, but this weekend is going to be spent cleaning out his room and making sure there are no death traps.

I don't eat much fast food now because none of them have veggie burgers. I think Burger King or McDonald's did for a short time. But it was no good.

@pizzslut, NO! Can you turn the crib around? Or think it was just a fluke? Well he decided to climb out the side, so I'm not sure turning it around would help. He fell asleep in our bed last night and was fine when I transferred him. Then this morning, when he woke up, I went in and he started to throw his leg over the side again. I'm not ready for this!! I think we may do some serious cleaning out of his room and MAYBE turn it into the toddler bed soon. He was standing on top of a tunnel toy last night so at least he didn't drop far and hurt himself?! I may just surround his crib with pillows. If he is using the same side, place all the pillows and stuffed animals on that side to give him a soft landing place. DS only climbed out of his crib once and *luckily* used to side with all the soft stuff and not the side with the glider.

I called Tuesday and left a message with our HVAC guy (small business, only employee - although sometimes he has a helper in the busier months). I was hoping he'd be able to come check our system before the 90's hit early next week. I haven't heard back from him. I'm debating calling him again today to follow up or call another company (that probably won't be able to come out until after the heat wave anyways). UGH! It's not that our system isn't working, but it isn't working as well as it should.

Maybe my kid is just lazy because he sleeps all night and then stands at the end and cries until I get him in the morning and I'm not allowed to sit him down to walk himself out of the room, haha. He is not a morning person. I see we have the same child 😂

i was thinking last night, as i rocked C and was looking at that sweet face, that at this age we had transitioned A to a bed because we were getting the nursery ready for him. I don't understand what we were thinking. he just doesn't seem old enough to be out of a crib!
team crib for life!

When I didn't eat meat for a while I would still eat at burger king and get my normal sandwich, just ask for no meat patty. I was weird. I'd still eat it now though. I would also get hotdogs at basketball games but with no hotdot so it was literally just a bun with mustard on it. Oh and I'd pack mustard sandwiches for lunch.

He is not a morning person. I see we have the same child 😂 Did your child also cry into their chicken noodle soup last night because he wanted chips instead? lol. That was my evening, he sobbed and sobbed for chips but ended up going straight to bed early. I held him for a little bit to calm him down, he was so over tired, but he slept for 12 hours so hopefully he's in a better mood tonight.

A friend of mine is a vegetarian too and is raising her kids to be that way too. (I am not unless they want to be) but she'll go to mcdonalds and get happy meals for her kids with no meat patty. This just sounds weird to Me. "Yeah can you give me a cheese burger happy meal without the meat patty?" Although there was a period of time my oldest would ask for a cheese burger without cheese. No. Not a hamburger. A cheese burger without cheese. If I ordered him a hamburger he'd scream "noooo! I said I want a cheeseburger without cheese!" Oh those threenager and fucking fours years.

While I love the idea of blowing the bitch up Betweenthelines, I would be cautious with that. Seems like she would quickly try to say you're harassing her. Do you have enough info to contact her agent? If so I would direct all communication through them. Document all the conversations and roll it up to a supervisor if you're not getting answers. Your insurance company can step in and help deal with their insurance if their being difficult. What company do they have, if you don't mind me asking. Feel free to message me the info. I dealt with car insurance a good bit at my last job.

nenarene there was much crying last night. After he walked up the stairs when we got home he laid in the floor and cried if I wasn't holding him. It was a long 2.5 hours until bedtime. But my kid also loves chips. Because he's my child 😁

Went to my parents last night so they could watch the kids for us. The first thing K wanted to do when we got there is see Will Ferret. I'm trying to get her to pick him up behind his front legs, but she still insists on lifting him up by his neck. He doesn't react to it at all. She even cuddled up with him like a stuffed animal and he was just like "whatevs". It was also the last thing she wanted to do before we left (to say bye to him).

Pizzaslut, E is forever trying to get out of his crib. We do a sleep sack at night which helps. I have to watch the monitor when I put him down for a nap and as soon as he throws his leg over, I sternly say from the hallway "lay back down, it is time to go night-night." And miraculously, he does lay down and go to sleep. But we do have to watch it. He started at around 15 months...

I'm not even sure. She's recovered well from her double mastectomy but I have no idea what is going on now. We are waiting for her to start radiation. MH spoke to her earlier this week and said she was lying down and seemed depressed. He said he thought she had an appointment with her pathologist that day so the news must not be great. He of course didn't ask her about it and she didn't tell him anything. It's frustrating because I feel like MH is thinking the worse and doesn't know what is going on. He won't ask her about it because he wants her to tell him when she wants. My family has a completely different dynamic, so it's strange to me to not really know what's going on. I feel like if the pathologist gave her good news, then she would've definitely told him.

Pizzaslut That sounds like the dynamic with my H's family and it is infuriating. His aunt has breast cancer, and honestly, we don't know how she didn't die at home before getting to the hospital (gaping wound in her chest, blood count so low that even the doctors were amazed she didn't have a heart attack). All of her updates are vague "They found markers in my urine, but don't want to see me until next year". Um, what kind of markers? Tumor markers, chemo markers (she finished chemo and is now on the chemo pills). Like, what exactly did they find in the urine?! I think she only hears what she wants to and then only passes on enough information for people to want to ask for more (attention seeking). Pretty sure this is also why she can't take her trash out to her curb, even when it weighs nothing. She just wants someone to come to her house and talk to her. My family, on the other hand, is a pretty open book. My uncle told me about his skin cancer when I was concerned about a spot that I had, my other uncle told me about how he and my aunt almost divorced when my parents were divorcing so he could show he could relate to me. My mom calls me when she has finished appointments if she had been sick for a while to let me know what the doctor said. I call her after all of the kids' appointments (particularly when they are sick) so she is updated. I can't live in the dark.

P has not tried to get out of her crib yet— she uses the same method as @nenerene and armpants LO's— stand at the end and cry until someone gets her. She has, however, moved and stacked some boxes in her room to create a step up to the window sill, where she then stands and looks out. The window is closed and locked but it makes me very nervous. I need to get some bars for it.

Do you have a good enough relationship to start communicating to her about it? MH is the same and NEVER asks questions and I want and need to know all of the things. I really hope she got good news and treatments work for her. Continuing to think about her and yall <3

fierymama, I am the same with my mom and luckily she is being an open book. We have to know details so we can make plans. It is how we cope. That and booze and antidepressants, but I digress haha...

Did they have to look at my car or anything?" BITCH we aren't your personal assistant!! She has Liberty Mutual insurance. I don't even know if they'll cover the car seats. Mine definitely will, but we're trying to go through hers.

Thanks layloo. H would be upset if I reached out. If I'm over there, I can sneak in some questions, but he'd get mad if I called. He is so worried about upsetting her or making her feel bad.
