Does anyone else find it a tad bit difficult to talk with some friends who don't have kids? I have this one friend who is single and no kids and I'm starting to think we don't have much to talk about. She goes out every weekend while I'm in school with 2 kids and a full time job. I just don't think she understands
@bearweaver14, have you tried reaching out to see. See what happened or what she had to say?
I have zero friends it feels like. Because we have 3 kids moat the time, and 5 kids every other weekend. Kind of funny, when I was pregnant I kept hearing how people loved babies and they would have no problem baby-sitting for me if I wanted to have a few good hrs of sleep... They all disappeared after they met the babe. Literally, I havent heard from this one Friend for about 6 months, and baby girl is 8 1/2 months.
It's hard to have so much in common now.. it's lame but it happens

At least not here and wouldn't be there from how I understand it.
Locking your doors
We are having a discussion on one of my birth boards from my older kids about locking doors and security alarms. There are many of us (me included) who do not lock our doors at home (I actually don't even have a deadbolt on my house and we don't lock it when we leave either), and others who think that's totally weird. So what do you do? Do you lock your doors? Do you think it's weird that people don't?
Okay update. I dropped the kids off at school and they had to check their hair and they were good. I talked to the teacher and she said that they didn't have a case but that an older sibling had it and I guess the mom treated both kids. I was like oh but if you have a case do we get notified and she said no, it's a HIPPA violation. 🤯 I said how, I'm not asking for names and you don't even have to say it was in their class.
I feel like now the parents weren't told that their kids have been ...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
I've sent messages trying to hang out, they've got plans already. Or just don't want any company.
