35 here and not in any danger of becoming fash. Wish I had time to read theory more and get back to organizing but have two young kiddos I'm going to do my best to raise without liberalism.
That sounds difficult tbh, I've always wondered how I'd manage in that situation. Sounds like you're handling it pretty well though if you'll even help your partner cook meat, that'd be hard for me at this point.
Ugh we've run into so many people like at your scouts meeting, especially from my in-laws at first. Luckily I shut that shit down right away. They make faces or talk about the food behind our backs but that's it. The area we live in isn't very vegan friendly either so that gets tough, we eat out once a month and we're kinda of bored of the same three options.
Sounds like the right approach. My wife is a PTA if you want me to ask her for any exercises/stretches that might help, though I know it's harder for her without seeing the injury in person.
There's a short book called "A Mind For Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science" that I recommend. It's about learning and studying in general, not just math and science. It's worth taking the time to read it to develop some strategies for your studying.
I also used to use flash card programs like Anki, not sure if that's still a popular one or not.
We're pretty settled back into our routine now that my wife has been out of her partial hospitalization program. Thankfully the DBT she did there is actually helping and she's realizing her stress tolerance is lower than other people's and letting me help more. The almost 3 year old doesn't listen to her as much as me though and has much more frequent and intense tantrums. I hope that will decrease over time as she learns her mom isn't as volatile.
We tried to do the zoo yesterday. Overall we had a good time but it was a waste of money, barely saw any animals cause the toddler was lollygagging and ended up melting down from being tired. Had to carry her out of there kicking and screaming for a solid 10 minutes, always fun. Think we'll wait till they're both older before we do that again, we've been a few times and it usually goes like that. Plus I'm not the biggest fan of zoos anyway, at least ours does a lot of legit conservation work.
You can really see how loved he was in those pictures. I'm sure he had 4 good years because of you and I'm sure he knew he was loved. I'm so sorry for your loss and know how hard it is.
I lost my dog of 14 years just a few weeks ago. He apparently had cancer and was hiding it until he couldn't. It was very sudden and still very painful. I'm trying to find a good picture for his urn but it's still too hard. I think I'm going to write him a letter to process my feelings, sort of like you've done here. My condolences again.
My wife had to go into a partial hospitalization program but is getting discharged Friday. 7 days a week for 5 weeks, 7am-6pm for most of that. Everything leading up to that was tough and a little traumatic. It's been tough taking on lots of extra duties and I'm starting to feel a little burned out today. The change was hard for our toddler but I kept everything going and we had to hire help so I could still work part time.
I learned I'm capable of more than I thought and overall have more confidence in myself, especially being on my own with a 3 year old and our then 4 month old for several days and handling it fine. But I'm looking forward to her being home every day again for a variety of reasons. Also worried about things getting bad again so we'll see if the DBT skills from her program help.
Toddler has mild sleep apnea, I was finally able to take her to the ENT and her adenoids and tonsils are fine. So just staying on a nose spray for now. Baby has had a bit of a cold and is sleeping extra but otherwise is a happy smiley kiddo and almost sitting up on his own.
I feel this. Our toddler does pretty good overall if she's naked and was starting to do ok with just training underwear but started refusing to wear them. Only wants diapers or naked. Usually after taking off her clothes and running around the house yelling "naked!" while laughing.
