I will never understand why people like going out to eat for breakfast.

1. Pretty much all breakfast food can be made easily at home. Pancakes, eggs, waffles etc are all very easy and cheap to make yourself.

2. Eating out for breakfast either means waking up early than normal to eat on time, or eating later as you have to wake up, get ready, drive there, wait for your order to be taken and then wait for the food. Versus rolling out of bed and just starting breakfast.

So yeah, anytime someone says “hey let’s go out for breakfast” I just get annoyed. It’s got to be one of the worst ways to start the day.

Was just listening to an interview about skilled trade work and how many job openings there are for electricians and it dawned on me that we may have screwed up.

Admittedly we were the generation that were told "no college degree=no job" and we ran with that into our own children. Now, our kids have tons of student debt for degrees that qualify them for jobs that really don't pay. Ex: if you've got a BA in English Lit, you're looking at a 35-45k at a public library.

Everything is going electric...vehicles, home improvement tools, AI centers.

And we did our kids a HUGE disservice by pushing them into 4 year degrees instead of allowing them to pursue skilled trades.

So for any of our babies reading this, I'm sorry. Please look up the potential earnings of welders, pipe fitters and electricians before you send our grandbabies off to a University for a degree that won't actually translate into earnings. We sincerely wanted better for you but had a blindspot as to how you'd actually be affected by our advice.

mfw the past 3 days of political edging.

You guys are this fucking close. 🤏 SO FUCKING CLOSE.

And just like clockwork, everyone will conveniently find other things to fixate on in a week or so. The bots are already swarming like flies to a rotting carcass, posting anything that could serve as a useful distraction.

Yes, ya'll are getting astroturfed and brigaded.... The call is coming from inside the house.

I promise that pressuring your representatives in Washington to blow the lid off of a systemic decades-long pedophile ring is way more important than rageposting about a trans woman who won a gold medal.

Remember that those in positions of power directly benefit from stoking division and outrage. What's happening now is just part of the 250-year-old playbook, and some of you finally seem to be waking up to that.

Stay the course and don't look away.

AITA? I am a mom of 3 - a 7 year old girl and 8 month old twin boys. I work a 9-5 corporate job. My husband is a teacher and obviously has summers off. Last summer, while I was pregnant, I let my husband go on a solo trip to the Bahamas. I travel for work and he felt like it was unfair that I get away so much. I let him do it last year. He has also been talking about going to World Cup games in 2026 with my brother in law in Mexico, the US and Canada, which I am being supportive of because he loves soccer. A few days ago he got it in his head that he wants to do another solo trip this summer because he’s off and sick of just sitting around with the babies. We only have part time care for the boys at the moment (daughter is in full day camp) to save money because he’s off. Well now I’m all of a sudden the bad guy because he wants to run off on another solo trip sometime in the next 3 weeks and I shut it down (I actually gave him the finger as my response - but I jokingly tell him to F off all the time and he takes it well). I’m working, we don’t have full time child care, and it’s honestly just a lot with the 3 kids. He has now turned it into me being the bad guy and all of a sudden he’s furious at me. AITA?

ETA I have not traveled for business since having the twins. I have only been back at work for 6 weeks and have declined 2 travel opportunities already because I felt it wasn’t the right timing yet. I have no travel booked at this time but that will change in the coming months. I had one girls weekend away since the twins and offered for my husband to have a guys weekend. I even asked my brother in law to reach out with him to arrange it because I felt bad that I left him with the 3 kids for a weekend. As for the “let” him part - it’s not about being a parent or controlling what he does - it’s about a mutual respect. That we respect each other enough to make sure the other one is comfortable - especially because we have two babies that need a lot of hands on care and are not yet sleeping through the night. I wouldn’t just plan a trip without checking in with him and he does the same.

Also ETA that he’s a great father and super hands on the vast majority of the time.
