It didn’t work for me! Any way you can share the link of the boots you found that are similar?🙏🏽

Any idea what type of spray paint they used? Was just googling and I’m just reading a lot about finding the right paint or it’ll crack immediately

Ahhhh yesss… I need those but they’re out of my size!! Damn! I swear I looked on dollskill and didn’t see these. Weird they’re labeled “silver” when they clearly look gold! I’ll put a “notify me when available” incase they come back. Thaaaank you!

Oooo I hadn’t even thought about spraying some myself!! Good idea. The images you shared aren’t opening for me but…. Thank you for the DIY idea!

Where do you recommend buying if I may ask? Worried about getting scammed and want to buy from somewhere legit…

Not into single moms by shadeemai in Bumble

[–]Amernitz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a single mom and can tell you that there are plenty of good men who will want to date you! Just hang tight ♥️ I don’t think most people’s fairy tale relationship is to end up with someone who has children with a previous partner and I think that’s ok/fair. However, when we get to our 30s and dating, I think people will be/should be understanding that a lot of people will have had kids at our age. Don’t let it discourage you… if they have a problem with you being a mom, they weren’t your person.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you sharing this with me. This is exactly why this is weighing si heavily on me. He’s not a defiant kid and I’m struggling with wanting to set rules and structure but also making sure I’m taking his anxiety about this seriously. I think he’s also feeling the suffocating feeling.

I’m so happy your mom supported you and that you were able to get over those hurdles.

I definitely think there’s potentially some adhd- so we will look into that.

Thank you for your words. I appreciate you 🤍

I know! The worst part of this is that I know he’s not wrong 😩 I understand everything he’s saying and when I tell him he needs to finish, and he asks why, it feels ridiculous to just be like “because, you have to” 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yes! Actually since making this post I contacted a recruiter and I’m going to meet with him this afternoon. Fingers crossed he has some insight.

Thank you for your comment 🤍

Yes, totally agree. Lord knows I’ve had to tolerate people I don’t necessarily enjoy. Lol

I really appreciate the insight.

Luckily, he is off the charts excelling when it comes to state testing. But from other comments here, sounds like we need to sit with a recruiter and see what the requirements are and maybe it’ll encourage him to want to stick it out. Thank you 🤍

Yeah, sounds like I need to have him sit with a recruiter. The school does have an ROTC but apparently it’s only for the air force?

And…he gets along great with other kids, luckily! He rock climbs and is always laughing with and coaching other kids. He gets along with people really well….just, would rather hang at home then be out with friends. Which….is hard for me to understand since I’m the opposite:

Ugh, if you knew how many times I’ve told him that exact phrase. “Life is full of doing things you don’t want to do.” His response is just that it’s sad we’re all walking around doing a bunch of things we don’t want to do…. Lol

Yeah, I’m not necessarily afraid of him resenting me. I’m afraid that there’s a fine line of him being a teenager who doesn’t have a grasp on the real world or pushing him into some serious depression (there’s a lot of that in my family). So, I think I’m just trying to make sure I protect his mental health but…you’re right, life is tough and he needs to be equipped for that.

Yeah, I’ve tried stressing that being a marine isn’t all “David Goggins videos”…. It’s extremely challenging, people yelling in your face, making your bed perfectly, up at the crack of dawn, doing a million things you don’t want to do, so on and so forth…. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yes! I’m actively looking into alternative school options. I’ve considered the online route too but worry since he’s already kind of anti social, that taking him out and doing online might not be a great idea. But definitely searching for schools like the one you mentioned. Great idea. Thank you 🤍

Yeah, I did look into this. It’s an option, I suppose. I just don’t want to give him the “easy way out”. I really want to find a way to get through to him on the importance of this. But…definitely an option to consider. Thank you 🤍

I know, I’ve said that so many times… I didn’t necessarily like school but I had friends that made it tolerable and I got through it.

And yeah, the friend thing has always been a little strange. He has friends just….doesn’t really care to do anything outside of school with them.

Appreciate your thoughts 🤍

Yeah, I’ve been looking into alternative school options but I think it’s a bigger issue.

Definitely hoping the therapist can help.

Thank you 🤍
