Your opinion is perfectly valid. The main expectations I am driven by are to provide the child with adequate resources to thrive, to not neglect the child, and to give them a good …

Or the fifth state, colic. It can last for months and the child will cry every waking hour. The binary flag is stuck 'on' which in my experience set every family member into a melt…

I think it's ok if you don't find joy. Personally I had a very involved father and supportive partner. I understand my duty and am fulfilling it with full acceptance and gravity, I…

Yeah I bought some extremely cheap property through a realtor and felt I made out like a bandit vs through a lawyer or dealing with that shit myself. Realtors want to charge a perc…

It was worth it for me when buying cheap land. Since it's percentage based the amount was quite low; cheaper than a lawyer and I had a license to use the realtor association buyer …
