Yes, it’s really hard. So many friends are only there for a season

Social Work in Canada. It gives me a lot of options workwise and I’ve always wanted to go to Canada

Third ones a charm!

Thankyou for preventing microwave comments. Its an abomination

This is the only answer

You know I’ve never tried honey in tea… I may do it

I keep it minimal. I’m neurodiverse and get sensory overload, hue bulbs massively improved my life cos I can do low, calm lights. I HATE sunlight it’s too bright and overwhelming… this time of year I get an overwhelming sense of dread cos summer is coming. Sob sob sob

Great choices they’re gorgeous

It’s hard work. The best way IME is to hang onto the friends from your teens and early 20s… but that only works if your life has gone in a straight line at that time. The older you get the less people try, they’re married, have kids etc.

I’m good at talking to people and I’m a good friend, but don’t have many. I’ve recently found bumble bff and I’ve made a friend there, previously I made some off meetup. I’m making an effort to go to knitting groups and stuff now. Previously I’ve tried book clubs, classes, gym groups etc… it’s a lot of work.

I was really close to my dad and I LOOOOVEEE that you’re doing this. You’re showing your child and the world that dad should take an equal share, especially post birth when mum is likely to need additional support. Your post is nothing short of inspirational!

I’ve been really moved by all the male support we’ve had. I love thinking of all these men raising their daughters in the same way they’re supporting our little group.

Hey Brekky welcome! We’re glad to have you

Nice one thanks 😊

Thanks Lazycog! Please feel free to spread the word anytime 😊

Really? With all the gay sex?

Thank you.

It’s sadly not as simple as that when there’s already a lot of guns in the country. Realistically that can’t be changed in the current system. What would help in the immediate future is PSAs, training for professionals, risk assessments etc that can identify perpetrators. It’s not massively expensive and can be implemented in the existing system.

I see your point

I agree that this is worth focusing on. Your suggestions would help. Sadly that doesn’t remove the firearms already in the US. Meaning that criminals can obtain them.

It’s a fair point on ceasing manufacturing, I agree that would help with preventing incidents for future generations.
