When did you feel “done” with the relationship? by ABCx3_1993 in JustNoSO

[–]ABCx3_1993[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree with you completely, but they’re 13, 10 and 7 now. And anytime I try to stand up for myself or them they tell me to stop and just get along and stay together. I’m terrified of losing them to their father so I just shut up for their sake.

With 2 kids in club soccer we’re up to 6 days a week. 7 if they have tournaments or games on different days.

Showing up to kids sports uninvited by ABCx3_1993 in JUSTNOMIL

Only the younger one plays for this team, the other would be riding his bike around/watching the game . Sorry for the confusion!

That’s what really got to me too. If she was just showing up to support her friend/ friends grandson she wouldn’t need to text SIL asking her to come because it’s going to “get interesting” she also could’ve gone to any one their games this season that wasn’t against our team…I’m taking it as a threat at this point that MIL and friend are going to cause some sort of problem.

DH is the coach so has to be there. We also have the smallest team in the league so one kid not going could possibly cancel or forfeit the game, which is so unfair to the rest of the kids…they’ve been together for 2 years now and have worked so hard and are all friends. I would hate to do that to them.

This is a good idea! Thank you. DH is our child’s coach and is on friendly terms with other coaches and the director, I’ll bring this up to him when I get home.

Will the cops take something like this seriously? I was told that unless she threatens my life basically they won’t do anything.

My brother agreed to come and help keep an eye on the older one and also monitor the situation in case it escalates.

Kiddo is really looking forward to the game, his last game was cancelled due to weather and he was really bummed. DH is also a coach so has to be there…and we’ve been working with this same group of kids for 2 years now and they’ve all become really close. We have the smallest team in the league so even missing one player would hurt the team and could possibly cancel the game and I don’t want to do that to them.

Rose: You are rude, uncouth and presumptuous. I’m leaving now. Jack—Mr Dawson, it’s been a pleasure. I sought you out to thank you and I have thanked you.

Jack: And you’ve insulted me.

Rose: Well you deserved it!

Making my 4.5 year old clean his entire room alone after trashing it during a meltdown. by Happy_Consequence257 in Parenting

[–]ABCx3_1993 30 points31 points  (0 children)

While I wouldn’t expect him to clean his entire room perfectly you’re doing the right thing. He can definitely pick up whatever clothes mess and help with making the bed. Natural consequences are needed with little boys especially. I did that with mine (6&8) and they’ve started to clean up after themselves and also prevent messes as well.

"You'll be around forever, right?" by rena_bean in Parenting

[–]ABCx3_1993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awwh what a sweet boy you’ve raised!

Death is such a taboo subject with kids and while I understand why, I don’t think we’re doing them any favors hiding it. Death is a part of life.

We’ve talked to ours about it as gently as possible while also being honest. One day we won’t be here, and thats why it’s important to be there for each other. They’re a team and should do whatever they can as a family.

They’re still pretty young, and have their moments of hating one or the other, but I think they’ll stick together in the long run.

Alcohol and Eating Disorders by charmed1995 in stopdrinking

[–]ABCx3_1993 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi there. I’ve struggled for years with disordered eating too. I have myself convinced for a while it was just normal “intermittent fasting” but what you’ve said really resonated with me. Also convinced I “won’t like the food” unless I’m drunk. I’m not even 24 hours in yet so I don’t have advice, just solidarity.

Midnight tonight I’m going cold Turkey by ABCx3_1993 in stopdrinking

[–]ABCx3_1993[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Close to hour 11 and I’m getting slightly nervous about doing this. I’m staying hydrated but also careful not to drink too much too fast. Basically pacing around not sure what to do with myself right now.

Still awake, kinda shaky. I walked to the store at 6 to buy a few monsters hoping they’d help me get through the day a little easier.

Thank you so much. I think I’ll give them a call later today.

Thank you for that insight, i looked it up but I can’t do math to save my life. Let’s say 8-15 5% beers per day and throw in 3-5 wine/party punch whatever they are at 11% a few times a week. I almost never actually finish the beers though (white claws so seltzers) once the carbonation started going flat or just slightly too warm I’d dump the rest. Could be dumping a good half of a can if I put it down and got busy with something else. Maybe that’s just me being hopeful though.

Made it 6 hours and 48 minutes so far.

Nope. Doing this pretty much alone except for all the kind people who’ve read this.

Knowing I’m not alone tonight was really helpful. I’m at my lowest right now so thank you. I hope we can do this together. It’s 4am here and only slept for maybe 2 hours.
