Heading on Spring Break woohoooooo!!! Looking for family games to play on the beach and at the house. Elementary aged. I'm going to try really hard to be good with my phone and keep it away, so something I would enjoy as well. Does this even exist? Thanks!

We’re looking to hire a night nurse for the birth of our third baby but have never used one before. We feel set on the nurse we’ve found, but I’m curious what the rate should be hourly, how many times you thought you needed one in the beginning (1-6 weeks), any questions we should ask prior to her starting, and just any tips for working alongside one.

If you have a busy schedule and often find yourself eating on the go, grabbing a fresh and filling meal can make all the difference. Subway offers a variety of options, whether you need a quick breakfast before work or a satisfying lunch during a break. You can explore different choices and see what fits your budget by checking out the Subway menu in the UK.

We have enjoyed House of Cards, Succession, Yellowstone (early seasons), Quarterbacks, Ted Lasso

My husband recently told me that I’m “not into sex enough”. Honestly this was major news to me as I feel like I’m doing an amazing job by just showing up for him with everything we have going on. Sometimes I’m into it but normally I’m so exhausted I’m like “okay let’s get this done” but again, I’m still showing up…
Help?

I might be done with kids, and I definitely want at least a lift. I’ve debated implants my whole life but at this point, I’m more aware and concerned of the risks. Anyone shed some light on their thought process whether to get or not to get implants? Doctor recommendations?

I’m so burnt out. Burnt out of being a mom, wife, employee. Burnt out of deadlines, remembering everything, kids homework and getting them to school in the morning.
I’ve never felt like this before. Any advice on next steps? Obviously taking a break from life is not possible.

Has anyone driven from Texas to 30A and have good recommendations on how to break up the drive for kids? Good places to eat, even better if there is a playground at the restaurant etc

We have new neighbors renting the house next door to us. The houses are close together and their dog barking is driving me crazy. It’s off and on all day long (deep and loud). And if we are outside, he barks at us right at the fence. I haven’t yet met this new neighbor….what do I do?! If you’re a dog owner, would you be offended if your neighbor voiced their frustration with your dog?

My 4 year old is SUCH a picky eater!! I swear her behavior is linked to meals and being hungry. She seems to have such a small stomach and doesn’t even come close to finishing a meal. What can I do?!

I have approx. 5 weeks left of maternity leave for my third child. This will be the first time I am returning to work full time in the office (with monthly work travel involved as well). What tips/tricks do you have when it comes to scheduling/managing home and work/childcare hacks/breastfeeding while traveling for work? I’m all ears for anything!

Ozempic, Mounjaro, wegovy, I don’t really care. I had a coupon last year and it ran out so I’m open to compounding, telehealth whatever! Aiming to not spend a gazillion dollars

Give the good, the bad, and the ugly on Ozempic? I’m really tempted to start but nervous. I have about 20ish lbs to lose to feel comfortable again

I keep waking up to huge dog dumps in my front yard at our new house. I have a camera so I know it is one our new neighbor’s dog who I haven’t met yet. I’m talking about a big dog here…front and center in the front yard.

Is this a declaration of war and how should I approach this matter?

FYI I love dogs, grew up with them, had a crazy border collie that ran wild and terrorized neighbors houses, etc. That was in the 90s though. How do yall handle this?

For medical reasons and a non viable pregnancy my obgyn offered me the choice to take the 2 pills (misoprostal) to attempt to miscarriage or go in for a D&C. Torn what to do and would love others experiences. I’ve heard sometimes the pills don’t work, and it’s also painful and can be a long process. Any advice would be appreciated!!

What are the best ways to motivate a teenager to care about their academics? He cares very much about sports, but could care less about academics. He’s very smart and if he just cared he would get the grades!! Is there any tips and tricks here?!

My son who is 15 (freshman in high school) is starting to prioritize friends over family, and spending all his free time with friends. I am mourning the relationship and strong bond that we’ve had forever! He’s even not wanting to give hugs anymore ! What can I do to maintain our bond, and also is this normal?!
