For those of you that have a child or children that play mind games at bed time, when does it stop? My first was nothing like this but my second makes bed time difficult in some way every night. It’s exhausting. She’s 6 and it feels like there’s no end in sight. My husband and I swap putting her to bed each night. Sometimes I have to leave while he’s putting her to bed so she will be good. Once I’m gone she’s a different person. It’s so frustrating and I find myself in a state of dread when I do have to put her to bed.

We’ve always considered getting a camper but a lot of campgrounds turn me off from the idea because it seems like the sites are right on top of one another. Does anyone have suggestions for campgrounds with secluded sites for campers?

My disabled neighbor had his house painted and is not happy with the results. I suggested green but the young boys that painted his home chose a ninja turtle green with dark grey trim and it’s just not good. I feel partially to blame but I wish he would have had me recommend a specific green if that’s the route he was choosing. I always help with his yard work and told him I’m happy to do any more painting he might want. We might paint a section of the house a different color and go from there. I’m thinking a light grey with some tan undertones possibly to go with the dark grey trim. Most likely will shop at sherwin Williams. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

If you do, why do you feel like that? What do they do to make you feel that way?

My MIL and SIL have never made me feel like family. I feel like an outsider and they just have mean girl energy with all women married into the family (MIL shits on her SILs). They have never invited me to do anything with them and SILs kids or when they go do something without kids. I’ve been married to my husband for 11 years. I had to cancel my daughter’s birthday party recently because my mom is dealing with mental health issues and went off the deep end and I was a mess and just trying to find help and resources so we settled on meeting for breakfast with his family instead. His mom was super awkward and barely spoke to me while sitting across from me and SIL was yammering on about how she went out to eat with her parents multiple times that week. I was feeling so emotional and had to get up and go to the vehicle because I was sobbing and hyperventilating. MIL also told FIL he should try to include BIL when he dos things with my husband yet SIL and MIL have never included me. They make me feel so insignificant or maybe I’m overreacting?
