piggybacking on this: All I hear is illegals are kind and just here to work hard and enrich all our lives. No, driving up the car insurance rates astronomically for all your neighbors isn’t kind or helpful actually
actually, they are here because they can make more money here and send it back to their home country and enrich their own families. There is nothing altruistic about their motives. That’s fine. Everyone should look out for their own families. Americans have the right to look out for ours too and complain when illegals are driving up our cost of living
Right now, if an American goes on Tik Tok and says they are moving to Mexico because they have a WFH job making American dollars that will go further in Mexico, their comments will be full of Mexican citizens telling them not come, calling them colonizers for gentrifying coastal towns where locals can no longer afford to live etc, but when Americans say “ we don’t want you to come here because you take very low wages and drive without insurance and drivers licenses and that makes all of our car insurance rates go up, etc.”, we’re xenophobes. Make it make sense
also, Americans going there are doing so legally, paying tons of fees and proving fluency in their language before they can get citizenship
also driving drunk isn’t kind or nice to your neighbors and our jails in my town are full of illegals with DUI’s every weekend

Sharing some of my hard earned wisdoms about being a step-mom for those interested. When my second husband and I married, I had a 5 years old boy, he had a 15 year old and 10 year old (both daughters) and we had one together 11 months after we married. We dated for a short time but had known each other from church for about five years.
1. let the biological parent do all of the disciplining. Your role as step parent should be simply ensuring children remain safe if their biological parent is not around. If their biological parent is not around frequently, they should be with their other biological parent. Do not take on parenting responsibilities.
2. Perhaps, it’s OK to occasionally agree to do school pick up or drop off or taking to parties or whatever other child minding responsibilities there may be, but it should be a rare occasion only.

Nursing is so wild to me now. This shift started at 7pm. Nurse visited my Mom for the first time at 9:15 and was here about 5 minutes. She’s nice and listened to my Mom’s heart and lungs. My mom has on telemetry so we know her heart is fine. At 11:00 pm, the Nurse Asst came in and did vitals. That’s in 4 hours.
This is how it was the other nights too but I was way more annoyed because she was in pain and they were not managing it. Today, she is just still in for IV antibiotics so I can manage all her needs (except getting cups of ice). I’ve had to be here non stop since Wednesday
because I don’t trust them to even help her potty if needed. Why? Anytime, she calls for anything it takes 45 minutes -2 hours. You say I should complain. I have. I’ve talked to Charge Nurses and Patient Advocates. No one cares.

If anyone watched Yellowstone, you TOTALLY get what these legislators in Florida are doing. John Dutton made Casey Dutton the Livestock Commissioner and he was able to deputize all his cattle friends and then they could overlook a whole bunch of illegal stuff.
We cheered for it watching the show because we all liked Casey and wanted him to keep his land and fight back against the evil developers. We also saw Casey do a whole bunch of shady things with his power. In the case of Florida, it’s ALMOST the same thing.
Instead of a Livestock Commissioner, we have an Agriculture Commissioner. He also has a whole bunch of power because he has special enforcement. Basically he has his Ag cops just like Casey had in Yellowstone. Here’s what they’re trying to do, though.

Here are some rules of etiquette I have seen young women break recently:

1. your bridal or baby shower should not be hosted by yourself or your mother. It can be hosted by your sister, a cousin, a friend or a group of people. It is considered rude for you or your mother to host your own bridal or baby shower.
2. if you are requesting people wear black tie to your event, your event must be a black tie level event. Buffets or cash bars are not black tie events. If you are having a black event, it must be a seated meal with an open bar at minimum.
when you are sending out wedding invitations, all members of the bridal party, even the unmarried members, must receive a plus one option. If a guest you are inviting has been dating someone for over one year, you must extend a plus one. If you cannot do this, you need to figure out how to add people to your guest list or subtract people if you cannot afford to add them.

Not to be crass, but if a woman is wearing a romper, she may be completely nude using the restroom.

if a woman leaks, she may be removing panties and rinsing them in the sink before wrapping them in paper towel to keep in her purse

if a woman uses a menstrual cup, she may be rinsing it before inserting it back in her body.

A young woman new to tampons, may be struggling with inserting it away from home.

Many women also suffer from extreme “tummy issues” during their period.

Some women have such extreme periods, it causes them to vomit. Same with women suffering nausea during pregnancy

Lots of women are inserting a foreign object inside of themselves during their period.

Many women are tending to personal hygiene like fixing their hair or makeup.

Many women breastfeed in the restroom because if they don’t, some weird man will ogle them or accuse them of indecency.

Women don’t want to do any of these activities with a man in the room.
No matter how much a man who has decided he is now a “woman”, has surgeries, hair removal and wears makeup or a wig, they’ll never understand restroom needs actual women will experience
I specified all of those things because a
lot of men are weighing in on what women should do or accept when they’ve never existed in a woman’s body

Unpopular Opinion: the world would be much better if grandparents lived by their actual grandkids and helped their kids manage the parenting load. Marriages would be more healthy, kids more attended to, and people
would have more kids because they had help. Then, when they are very old, their kids reciprocate and care for them back because there are bonds and relationship.
people ask me how I reared such good
kids (particularly as a single parent) and the number one reason was my family. My Dad was a tremendous example to my son and spent every single day pouring into him. My daughter has a tight bond with me and her grandmother. She doesn’t want to disappoint us.
it’s nothing spectacular I did as a parent
or they did as a family. We were just there. My kids never stayed with a sitter who wasn’t my parents or my aunt. While I worked there were other adult eyes on them helping to ensure they weren’t getting into trouble. It matters.
