I think that the stage of life you're in would also play a huge part in what hours you'd prefer. When I was single, I'd prefer later hours like you so I could have a more relaxed morning. Now that I'm married with kids, however, an earlier schedule would mean more family time. Especially as school events are often scheduled for the early evening.

Yup. The th sound is pronounced with a hard "T," and when the r is in the middle of the word it's silent, and typically has more of an l pronunciation. It's a very non western language, and is completely independent from Latin.

I was in high school, and I remember babysitting my brother's kids for new years. I'd invited a friend to hang out with me while I watched them, but her parents were very freaked out about Y2K and insisted she stay home with them. They did do some prepping on water and canned goods, but not quite to the "bunker under their floorboards" level. As for me and my family, we carried on as if life would continue as normal, and thanks to countless people working tirelessly, it did just that.

Same thing in Thailand as well. Malls will never go extinct because they're air conditioned areas that anyone can enter.

That's why some parking lots put a cement curb a few feet away from the sidewalk, where the tires should stop.

I always think my husband is cute, especially when he first wakes up and is still a bit groggy. It's the disheveled hair that gets me.

This kind of nonsense is why my mom moved in with us. There are so many horror stories about elderly abuse, and those homes are freaking expensive!

I tried to make a movie about a burrito, but at the end, the director said it was a wrap.

I remember watching the first few episodes, but I got bored and started watching the Orville instead because it had more of a Star Trek spirit.

It reminds me of being in a reverse situation. In that instance, I was the teenage girl, stuck between two guys who were drinking. Fortunately, it didn't escalate to this extent, but it definitely made me realize my vulnerability.

Ah yes, the "banger in the mouth" recipe.

 

As the title says, my 4 year old has been clenching her jaw a lot in the past few months. I think it started as stress and has now developed into a habit.

As for the cause of her stress, we've had some major life changes in the past few months. Her grandparents and cousin came to stay with us from the other side of the world for about 6 weeks and went back about a month ago. We also welcomed her new baby sister 2 months ago. She had been an only child before then.

I've been doing all I can to spend time with her and maintain our relationship while juggling the exhaustion that comes from a new baby, but it seems like she needs more. Her father, my mother, and my best friend who is practically a surrogate mother to her have stepped in a lot to help, but the jaw clenching remains.

So my question to other parents of multiples is how to help her adjust. Any tips or advice would be welcome.
