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.

Hi mamas! I have a middle school boy who runs around with the neighborhood boy gang having fun, which sometimes includes ding dong ditching houses (all at a reasonable hour- like 7 or 8 pm). We have a neighbor that has lost his mind and is a total jerk about it. Growing up I considered this good clean fun. I have told my son to leave this house alone but it begs the question- is this an acceptable pastime or does it need to be left in the 80s and 90s? Thanks!!

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 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?
