HONESTLY…. Am I the only mom that did not know to enroll in public kindergarten you so it in the spring (February-April) ?
I did not even know to do it in july

I also do not get how this means I could possibly not see the school or meet the teacher prior to sending her! I do not want to be disruptive I wish I had known how it worked😭

Who's in the wrong here?

Just curious what others opinions are on this.
Mom takes her 2 boys to pool. Theyre
4 and 5 old enough to change themselves.
The 4 year old just turned 4 so hes still potty training.
When 4 year old is changing after swimming he poops on floor in men's restroom.
Mom notices it picks it up and leaves does not stay longer than 10 secondsand made sure no one else was in there.
Another Mom sees it happen and says shes gonna call police on Mom who picked up poop.

Does a man need to wash his hands after he pees?

My man thinks since he didn’t touch anything apart from pants and holding it in place, that he doesn’t need to use soap to wash his hands, will only rinse. Sometimes I catch him not washing his hands at all and I make him do it 🤢 is that normal? How to get him to do it without mothering him each time

He’s acting like nothing happened

Husband was caught cheating and moved out last week. Real cocky too cuz she was gonna let him move in with her. Well she found out he had a family (she was a victim in this too), and she left him. She messaged me a huge apology and swore she really didn’t know until she introduced him to her friends and her besties bd recognized him. Came home tonight and he’s just standing in the kitchen washing dishes (he never washed dishes once in the 6 years we’ve been together) and smiles and says “hey baby, how was your day?” And the kids obviously get so excited to see him so I bit my tongue in front of them. But now he’s just in the kitchen organizing the junk drawer and calling me babe and being like everything is normal while I get them ready for bed. He came in and even asked me if I’d like him to have a glass of wine waiting for me in the kitchen and kissed my head while the kids were watching.

I feel like I’m in some fever dream like did we not break up and he moved out?? Did he really think this tactic would work? Like what is even happening!?? What am I even supposed to say to him when I go out there?

“Hey I don’t know what all this is but you need to leave. We can’t just pretend none of this happened.” Is about all I got, but I am soo weak for him i don’t trust myself to have this conversation and actually make him leave, but I don’t want him to stay either.

Feeling like I’m ready to leave the relationship or am I over reacting and being too much? Please as much advice as possible x

I need some honest advice. I’ve been with my partner for 4 years and we have two children, including a 4-month-old. I’ve been telling him for months, even years, how unhappy and lonely I am, but nothing changes.

Over the last couple of months my trust has completely gone. He’s constantly looking at other women when we’re out, has lusted over women online, watched porn behind my back and I’ve seen things on his phone that have really hurt me. Yet the other day he wouldn’t even go out with me because I wore a casual black top with no bra. I have E boobs, but it genuinely wasn’t revealing. He said it was disrespectful because men would look at me.

He never wants to give me affection. There’s no cuddling, kissing or flirting. He’s always in the bathroom vaping, on his phone or doing his own thing. I’m finding myself begging for attention, affection and reassurance, and honestly I’m embarrassed that I’ve got to this point. I have to fish for compliments and he says, “We’ve been together ages, why are you always fishing for compliments?” I just don’t feel wanted at all.

I’m with the kids most of the time and feel completely unsupported. When we argue, he speaks to me horribly. I’ve cried right in front of him and he’s ignored me, even calling my tears “crocodile tears.”

The worst part is I think I’ve genuinely fallen out of love. We went out recently and I was bored, we had sex and I felt completely emotionally disconnected. I’m constantly crying and feel incredibly lonely despite being in a relationship.

I’ve now told him I want to end it, but he won’t accept it and carries on like everything is normal telling me I’d be “throwing this away over my little episodes”

Am I genuinely done, or am I just exhausted and postpartum?

Uc childcare costs inquiry

Can someone please explain how childcare costs work with uc, I know you have to pay it first and then can claim some of it back. When do you get it back is it during your usual payment from them or can it be anytime of the month? Thank you
