If you have even the slightest doubt about the person you're unfortunately married to, DO NOT have a kid with them.

Seriously, DON'T! Under NO circumstances go ahead and put yourself in that situation where no matter how badly you need to get out, your child(ren) loving and needing both parents will stop you from freeing yourself from hell.

And before you come after me with your "there's always a way"s and "children are better off in a single but happy parent environment" (not until they're MUCH older) - save it. Doesn't apply in more than most situations.

Thanks for listening

What the title says. Please share your reco friends 🙂

Bonus if it's a store near North York/Scarborough, in case it's a physical store.

We have the standard electric stovetop and oven at our apartment. I like to cook bigger batches for freezing. It'll be mostly veggies and curries and lentil but the SE asian way (minimal spice though).

Please share your reco. Thanks! P.S. sorey about the typo (should be cookware, not cookwear 🤦🏻‍♀️) that can't be corrected ofcourse 🙄

Edit: currently using the Cuisinart stainless steel cookware set bought over a decade ago (miss you Home Outfitters)

I do have a few not-so-great-quality videos but looks like attaching them with the post is not allowed? I'll try the comments section.

Edit: couldn't post them in the comments either. I feel a bit foolish as i know how this sounds without any visual context. If anyone has any tips as to how i can share the videos, I'll greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

That's all. Thank you

Hey guys. My apologies for asking this question that has been asked many times before.

But I'm in a super rushed mode, and am being asked about the earplugs eight Now! (Being gifted a pair).

So would you please Please be kind enough and let me know the best ones for the tapes?

Feel free to suggest a couple, on different price ranges, as i don't know the gifter's budget yet.

Please please please pretty please!! Thank you!

Got a few questions, if you're open to talking ofcourse 🙂

2 years worth of conversation got deleted. I have no idea how. The other person still has it on their phone. Can they restore it on my phone?

FYI they live thousands of miles away, so no chance of doing it sitting next to each other

Please be kind if you can.

I have nothing. Noone. I fulfill my responsibilities on a daily basis. I do the barest minimum to just get by, because that's really All I can do atm.

I'd made a friend, or so i thought, just over 2 years ago. It felt like a soulmate connection. For the first couple months atleast. Then ofcourse, it didn't anymore.

We still talked. On and off. Deep conversations at times. Literally the only ones I'd have. Literally THE most precious things i feel like i owned.

They're all gone. The conversations.

EVERYTHING, except the last maybe 5 insignificant texts. I don't know what happened. Some kind of issue with Telegram it seems (the other person didn't do anything).

No way of recovering. My precious oasis snatched away from me without notice or permission.

First the soulmate connection went. Then the memories that often helped me, by reminding me that i too CAN have connections like these.

I don't even know how i feel. I just want to lay in bed and never move again. I want to do nothing today. Be nothing. Just lay here and rot.

But i have responsibilities. I'm a 24/7 parent. I have NO help. And i have to do SO many things extra today.

I can't. I can't. Oh God!

It was on Telegram. My only oasis that i used to visit at times.

The other person didn't do anything. Neither did i. I now see this issue talked about often. Wish u knew this could happen randomly.

The helplessness is getting to me the most. Fact that it was just taken away from me without notice, or given any choice.

Thanks technology

Woke up and saw the entire chat window was gone. Searched the contact and Only like 7/8 texts were there, out of nearly 2 years of texts.

This happened on one of the devices i have used Telegram. I did use it on another device until recently. No idea if it synced there locally or something. I won't be able to check the other device anytime soon.

PLEASE HELP! I CAN'T lose this chat 😞

Okay so maybe not for dummies, and I apologize for that word but it was between that and Explain-to-me-like-I'm-Five 🙊, but just a VERY easy to understand explanation of his theories about the universe and consciousness and all. I mean literally thr easiest words and imageries and examples. More like a story perhaps?

Sorry i know I'm asking for a lot.

But I've tried watching and reading his interviews. I've tried watching other videos explaining his theories. I've Not succeeded in understanding them unfortunately. I'm a fairly intelligent person as far as I knew. But this is making me question that knowledge a little bit tbh 😅

I don't know why, but i keep going back to his theories, as if there's something there that'll untie a knot for me. I really do want to understand, you know?

Help? Please!

Hey mommas! Super exhausted and defeated mom here. Please share if you went through something similar. And if anything helped. Thank you!

So my Very recently turned 5 year old, who's a sensitive gentle wonderful kid, has been waking up (apparently to pee) at night/early morning and staying awake after. For anywhere between 45min-1:30hours (2 hours on occasions).

This happens almost every day now. Started a few weeks ago. Can't think of a reason that triggered it.

It can be 4/6 in the morning or even at 2:30. It can be after just 5 hours of sleep or 8 hours. It can be after a super active day of playing and running around, or a not so active one.

There truly seems to be no rhyme or reason.

She says her mind just won't stop thinking. Says she thinks about her birthday and the gifts and all the fun she'll have.

We talk about all her thoughts all day long! I tried doing a recap before bedtime, Not doing a recap too.

She says she's itchy or uncomfortable (I've tried Everything to make her comfortable). She mostly says she doesn't know why she's up.

I've tried talking to her about it all. Helping her with tools to put herself back to sleep (deep breaths and trying to think nothing, or thinking only about how sleepy she is). I've tried explaining to her what this is doing to her mind and body and my mind and body. How she needs the rest and so do i. I've lost it at her on rare occasions too. I'm ashamed to admit 😞

We co-sleep and i let her snuggle during those times, as she wants to . I've tried softly singing to her and gently massaging her to put her to sleep. I've tried turning my back to her trying to fall back asleep myself.

She gets Zero screen time. Doesn't have an ipad or access to a phone. Barely any TV at all. We talk ALL day long every day. Proper conversations. She has enough outlets for her thoughts.

We try interacting with others.

Her bedtime routine is regular. Dinner, very little playing, brushing teeth, book, sleep.

I'm thinking of reducing her water intake even more, so that there's no waking up for the bathroom. I'll probably ask her dad to play with her before dinner instead of after. Not sure if her mind gets too stimulated. I'm going to try bringing back her bath time to before bedtime vs. before dinner.

I don't know mommas. I'm SO SO tired! When she's awake at those unGodly hours, for SUCH long periods of time, i feel pure white RAGE like a monster. I just... Can't even describe what it's been doing to me.

I had hoped this was a one-time thing, a phase. But it's been weeks and weeks and nothing's changed. I'm feeling truly distraught at this point.

What do i do?

I don't know how and why i fucking find these fucking assholes! Higher self me must be so fucking disappointed at me.

FUCK thay fucking coward. That fucking hypocrite fuck. Suck your fucking small dick you fucktard
