@Slagonomics @bebookled Yes but that doesn’t require her to be away from the home.

@MichHoivata The teenager felt comfortable doing that because he knew his parents would defend him

@feelsdesperate The “paycheck to paycheck” that allows you to save for college, go on vacation and make home repairs is not the same thing as paycheck to paycheck where you don’t fix your dryer because you had to get your kid glasses.

Is this a thing? I have never been to a pool party where people didn’t get in the pool. Why would you want to stand by a pool?

[Eli McCann @EliMcCann]

We are at an adult "pool party" and my husband put on his bathing suit before we came here and I tried to explain to him that no one was actually going to be swimming. Anyway, he is now in the pool by himself while everyone else is standing around the edges sipping cocktails.

I don’t want any more apps. Not for church, not for little league, not to order pizza. I don’t want it.

@wademattingly The scale is obviously bad but adding a bench, rug and better landscaping would improve it without to much cost.

My daughter has been talking about how excited she is for our strawberries and last night deer ate almost all of them 😤

It seems like every playground lacks shade. Plant some trees around the playground, seems like a pretty easy problem to solve.

Check for hot playground equipment. If it's too hot for your hand, it's definitely too hot for a child's skin.

@MichHoivata 90 minutes is a lot of picture books. I don’t know a 3 year old who can sit and listen for 90 minutes either

@nikitabier @Austen I know this is not the point of your tweet, but if you ever have this happen again, try drinking soda before going to the doctor. I had the same thing happen to me but I was with a friend who is a nurse who told me to do this and it worked very quickly

@SpiritedSparr0w Give it a few hours and she will post a video about how she is being bullied

@Pmgraham86 So 1 wheelbarrow fit 3/4 of the cyber truck load?

Truly amazing that the people who complain the most about not having enough money always have enough for a trip to Italy.

@YammusBagguss @DavidWa69090416 @OleBeeM @realalexclark I listed several actors, musicians and athletes who were homeschooled in my previous reply. Success is a difficult metric to define, but the vast majority of homeschooled children become adults with jobs, homes, and families. Seems like success to me.

[Kristin @Notmanageable]

@DavidWa69090416 @OleBeeM @realalexclark It’s all relatively easy to google… but there are many successful people who were homeschooled for at least part of their education. Teddy Roosevelt, CS Lewis, Agatha Christie, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell…

@OleBeeM @realalexclark Emma Watson, Serena Williams, Billie Eilish, Simone Biles

@BethIsMyHandle @PetiteNicoco @mrs_alyse A perfect response when you are just a contrarian who doesn’t have a legitimate point to make.

[Kristin @Notmanageable]

Exactly. All these toddlers need to do is earn some money and drive themselves to the store to get something for their mom. Why in the world would their father need to be involved in anyway?

[Kristin @Notmanageable]

A house near my parents is contingent, it has more than doubled in price in 8 years. No major updates or renovations have been done that would significantly impact the price.
