I'm a discreet pooper. Go to an empty floor. Courtesy flush. It's not hard. I am not as discreet since I just had to dig a hole in the yard at work.

The only proven health benefits to intermittent fasting are related to insulin resistance. Otherwise it's just a timing method of eating.

I don't know if it's a confession or UO but I don't even get the urgency some parents have to be done with diapers. I honestly don't mind it at all. It's not that expensive (relative to my budget), my kid doesn't fit it, and it's so god damn easy when we are anywhere outside the house to not have to race and find a bathroom. My friend trained her son the week he turned 2 (he was a god damn unicorn) because she kept saying "I'm so done with diapers, I'm so over it" and I just really don't feel like that at all. To me it's just whatever. I had a unicorn potty trainer— basically trained himself a few days after he turned two, but we used a cloth diaper service and I was super excited to get that $80-90 a month back. I’m not super budget conscious but that chunk of change went directly back to my “me” budget. oh wow that's a lot. I spend about $20 a month, maybe a little more when I add in the nighttime ones. Daycare supplies wipes so the ones I buy for nights & weekends last forever.

I am actually chuckling about hating on people pooping in a bathroom. People sitting on chairs pisses me off. What else are we supposed to do??? Just not poop?

The only time I've tried intermittent fasting is to help prevent jet lag and I think it was at least somewhat effective.

I just don't exit until everyone else does. If it takes an extra five minutes of waiting, then so be it lol I think this is what everyone does and then sometimes it turns into a battle of two people waiting for the other to exit first lol. Ah, the good old poop stalemate. I'm excellent at this waiting game.

I used to work in TV, and our newsroom was at the Wells Fargo Center in Philly. Needless to say it was the best because I could go out on the concourse and poop in every bathroom I wanted. Away from my coworkers.
So to my philly people attending sports events and concerts there, well, you can do what you want with that info.

This is just not healthy. And absolutely not worth the money. As long as she’s got the right mindset about it I think you’re overreacting. People do fasts all the time (in healthy ways)for many different reasons. Yep. I've been on an 18-month long lifestyle change where I have slowly lost 60 lbs.

My confession:
Last weekend we were at a museum gift shop and I told my son he could pick out anything he wanted as long as it was less than $10. He saw a plush Audobon society bird that fit the bill (lol) but I nixed it because it made noise (bird song, but still). He ended up picking out a little fossil page and seemed happy enough but on the ride home he had the biggest tantrum of his life. Like, he’s not a kid who ever cries because he doesn’t get what he wants and I don’t think he’s ever cried more than about 5 minutes in a row in his life but he sat in the car and sobbed for nearly an hour. All week off and on he’s started crying and saying that he wants that bird and this morning he started crying again I just caved and found the bird on amazon and bought it. Fingers crossed that it’s only two more days of random silent sobbing.
(Also, I sort of get the feeling this bird might somehow be a stand in for our cat who died a few weeks ago).

I would do the same. I’m such a softy with this stuff.

I... did this on the beach once. Not to poop, but I had to pee and the water was super cold and there were no bathrooms anywhere nearby and I didn't want to walk back to the condo. I was also half drunk (or maybe fully drunk?). So my drunk ass decided that the only feasible option was to dig a deep hole, pee in it, and cover it back up. Not my finest moment. surely in the time it took you to dig a hole deep enough, you could have found a bathroom though? or was it just drunk logic at play Very much drunk logic. Because it took a while to dig the hole. Don't use champagne as a mixer with your vodka.

They are painting inside our building and we have no windows. I might fib about the fumes making me sick and leave just because it's Friday lol. It really does smell nasty though

My confession: (Also, I sort of get the feeling this bird might somehow be a stand in for our cat who died a few weeks ago). We also lost a pet recently and this morning, DD1 got a Barbie toy that came with a few puppies. Once of them is the same color as our and she looked at it and started bawling. Then she gave her the same name as our dog, and set her on her nightstand “so I will never forget how much I loved her!” Knife to my heart.

After a ride's worth of investigation (casually poking my hand out of the side of the Doom Buggy several times), I've decided that it would be totally possible to spread a small amount of someone's ashes throughout The Haunted Mansion without getting caught. Which I may have asked DH to do if I go first.

I had big dreams of potty training my 2.5 year old during my maternity leave. It... did not work. He then legit woke up one morning around 3 yrs old and said "I am not wearing that pull-up today or anymore" and that was that. Nighttime is another story and he is still rocking the pull-up at 4. DD1 just started underwear at night last week at like 5.25, she had been in pull ups prior. We also tried PT earlier and she basically just did not GAF, and it is really hard to PT a kid that just isn't interested in doing it. They have to want to do it.

I'm over here jealous of the kids essentially potty training themselves, but I am 100% projecting because I am over here with a 5 year old who is just now in underwear overnight, and not always successfully dry. And who wasn't day trained until the very last second before preschool at 3.5. Use pull ups over night and save yourself the headache. Mine was almost 7 before we ditched those. Mine was in them daytime until 3.75. We didn't deal with a billion accidents either because fuck that. A lot of people are round pegging a square hole with potty training. Daycare/preschool requirements don't help with that. We did use pull ups until last week. And she day trained on her own schedule, it just happened to be right on time for day care. She is doing well overnight now, still has occasional accidents, but since it was H's idea to take the pull ups away, those are on him. Hah.

Lowen has an OBSESSION with the toilet (i.e sticking his hands in it) so we shall see what potty training looks like for him. BWAHAH

I've been sleeping with my son's stuffed bunny. It's unbelievably soft and such a nice size. We put our cat to sleep a few months ago and he used to sleep with me in my arms and I guess I really miss him. I put it back today, because I just have to get this bunny off my back. But it was so nice!!

As most everyone knows from my constant whining, my H works on a boat and is gone for months at a time. He usually only works with men, but this hitch there is a really attractive female working.
I'm super irrationally jealous. Like 100% she prob does not want his Willie Nelson beard. But still.
Come home already.
