I’m a full time stay at home Mom, so I don’t know if what I say will have any value to you but I can say that being home all week with my son I still had to drop a lot of expectations. Particularly the tidiness and organization of my home, constantly picking up organizing and so on steals SO much time. My house is not dirty or looking like a zoo but I had high expectations of my house being show worthy, I’m big into interior design I actually had my own store that I left but anyhow. Letting expectations go. Another is meal plan/meal prepping, figuring out what we are eating and cooking also took up a lot of time. I simplified our meals a lot especially so my son can just eat what we eat. I shop on Sunday so my husband is home with the baby, and I dedicate 2 hours to meal prepping. This looks like pre-chopping any veggie we might need, preparing things such as homemade tortillas, any breads, sauces, dressings, and some type of breakfast option. Usually a quiche, egg bites,

Or cottage cheese pancakes. I stick to my routine but I’m not so rigid that we can’t be spontaneous, it’s all 80:20. I think sitting down and writing down what exactly needs to be done at home for you to feel put together is the best way to go. Hope this helps

If your partner got a prostitute pregnant and then abandoned the child/ran away, what would be your response? Read…

So you were not in a relationship at the time or were about to be in a relationship, he gets the prostitute pregnant.
It’s her fault for not taking their morning after pill.
He tells her straight up that he’s not going to be involved and that she should terminate it.
She says that she won’t terminate and she hopes that he does stick around

So she deliberately gets pregnant, basically traps him

What would be your reaction?
he’s response is:
“She trapped me and it’s her fault for not taking the pill”

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers
