I joined Bluesky @abby-writes. Considering deleting Twitter and Meta accounts so catch me there.

@HomePlusIsUs Both! 😂

@HomePlusIsUs @srpeters18 I know, but in divorce court it just doesn't matter, sworn paperwork or not. They simply do not care.

[Abby Kidd @abby_kidd]

@HomePlusIsUs @srpeters18 Unfortunately they can lie all they want in divorce court. Unless you get a judge who happens to care, I guess.

@rachel_reviews I'm sorry. 😩 I was recently passed over for something I really wanted also.

men will literally create a multimillion dollar grift, sexually exploit and abuse women under the guise of following nephi, and spend people’s charitable donations on lap dances and strip clubs instead of just leaving the church and practicing ethical non-monogamy

In fact, parents help children by expressing a wide range of feelings–including appropriate anger. All children need to see that the adults in their lives can feel anger and not hurt themselves or anyone else when they feel that way.” (2/2)

“Just as it takes time for children to understand what real love is, it takes time for parents to understand that being always patient, quiet, even-tempered, and respectful isn’t necessarily what “good” parents are. (1/2)

Because of this and so many other reasons, I divorced his ass. It was much easier to look after myself and the kiddos as a solo mom than to put up with that crap daily. Of course, divorce rates are up. Look at how we’ve been treated and how it has been encouraged.

[Jen Horsburgh @jenatlionra]

My ex didn’t change diapers because I was “faster and better at it” than him. He never woke to check on our crying babies because “he worked all day and needed to sleep.” He never meal planned, grocery shopped or remembered appointments even though I also worked full time.

@happycamper724 Yes, I don't trust random teenagers (specific teenagers, sure, but the general population at an American high school? Not so much).

[Abby Kidd @abby_kidd]

@happycamper724 That's what kills me about these kids. I worked in a middle school last year and many kids just don't change because they don't feel comfortable in the locker rooms. Then they walk around in outfits that are basically just underwear. 🤷‍♀️

[Abby Kidd @abby_kidd]

@happycamper724 RIGHT. There's a question of safety too. Is it really safe to be surrounded by kids you don't know that well in your underwear?

[Abby Kidd @abby_kidd]

@happycamper724 I know. It's bananas. 🤣 I fail to see how that's remotely comfortable or functional at school.

[emily may @emilykmay]

At least half of “gentle parenting” is just….. not freaking out when your kids are freaking out.

And it’s a lot harder than it sounds.

[Abby Kidd @abby_kidd]

@happycamper724 Schools are backing off dress code enforcement (which is good, mostly) so kids are wearing what they're wearing and nobody really says much about it. Some folks that work at our local high school told me that girls show up in bras without shirts sometimes.

Can't believe we have to say this, but: STOP FLYING DRONES NEAR WILDFIRES. DRONES GROUND OUR AIRCRAFT.

Our firefighting operations are more important than those 12 likes you'll get on Instagram.

@mettemarieivie This is lucky. If I don't stick to a v specific regimen I have major cystic acne. I really don't equate skin care with makeup. I wear zero makeup most of the time but skin care is more of a hygiene thing for me.
