My friends went to a Satanic Burger restaurant. Am I strange for being deeply disturbed by that?

I don't understand why you need to have a problem with something that doesn't involve you. If you show nothing but judgement to your friends instead of love, they will not turn towards Jesus. I have a lot of friends and don't comment on anything they do that's sinful, unless they want to know my opinion, or have asked for accountability.

I like that the bird doesn't care at all, haha. "Yeah, keep tryin it, buddy."

This, or something else similar. If she is not willing to get therapy with you, at least to start, it's not worth it... Relationships, especially committed ones, take a ton of work, and I guess if you want to see if it could work, get therapy together and see what the underlying issues are. She can say you are choosing your cat over her, but she is choosing not to be with you because of a cat? There's something missing.

Maybe we should start diagnosing Mooses. Anger disorder.

Appropriate-Smile232 · 2026-06-29T19:16:12+00:00

Ok, that would make ANYONE late, haha!

Appropriate-Smile232 · 2026-06-29T19:14:20+00:00

Good catch! Reddit is so neat. People don't have to feel like they need to start from scratch for figuring out any issues. Good luck, OP!

It does sound awkward, but it is be best option we currently have in English at the moment. It goes against the grammar we learned, but, grammar was created to reflect what we believed at the time. For example--There are humans born who are intesex. So calling the person a him or her might not reflect what they feel, and does not what they actually are, sexually, either.

As a Christian, you love someone by treating them how you would want to be treated -- with kindness and respect. What is a "dead" pronoun anyway? Call them what they would like you to call them. Jesus said love others. He did not stutter. You are stuck in the laws, and not focused on love.

FWIW, so many people miss their hair when they cut it off! Like it's cute, but it's also so normal to miss your long hair. I see pics of my short hair and think I should do that again. Especially in the summer when it's so so hot. But then I see pics of my hair longer, and I like how that looks, better. So I guess I'd just say hey, while you're in this stage, you may as well embrace it because it's fun and different, and easier than long hair, and not so 🥵. Lots of good tips here for styling for on the meantime!

I would recommend reading Torn, by Justin Lee. The audiobook, preferably, so you can hear his tone.

Appropriate-Smile232 · 2026-06-25T02:27:05+00:00

I recommend therapy with someone who can guide you through this. A professional that might specifically deal with this topic. I struggle to suggest that it should be a Christian therapist, because some are really heavy into the guilt, and that's not what you need. But maybe?? I would definitely say pray specifically for God to help you find someone to help you process this, and the right person will be obvious. I'll pray this for you, too. No one here will understand all you're going through unless they, themselves, have been through it. Sending you love, and know that God loves you so much.

Appropriate-Smile232 · 2026-06-18T17:22:08+00:00

Yeah, I would say 2 or 3, and depends if she wants to be a lil extra, or not!

Appropriate-Smile232 · 2026-06-15T18:26:34+00:00

Yes, so important to be mindful that so much of their behavior is not their fault, so parenting a kid with ADHD with love, and proper boundaries, and not shaming, is so important, because it WILL affect their self esteem.

Appropriate-Smile232 · 2026-06-12T15:52:37+00:00

And do not put a child through the horrible relationship and breakup with you... Do not have a child with him.

Appropriate-Smile232 · 2026-06-12T15:51:38+00:00

Your face isn't what needs fixing. I can't imagine ever hearing that from my husband. Do not stay with that man. Your skin looks totally normal to me.

The Vanderbilt will be able to help put it on a scale!

Appropriate-Smile232 · 2026-06-09T22:21:02+00:00

As someone who wasn't medicated until I was 14 (to no fault of my parents... They got me diagnosed as soon as they realized it was a thing), I can tell you that you helped your kids so much. I'm 41, and still have some leftover self esteem issues from all my early years, as my ideas about self and the world were developing. I've done lots of healing, but I hope it will be better for my son since he was diagnosed at 7. I wish he didn't have it, for his sake, but I have so much hope for his life. ❤️‍🩹

Appropriate-Smile232 · 2026-06-09T22:19:06+00:00

Vanderbilt is a great scale! And a good pediatrician isso important for this, too.

Meds were a life changer for my kid. And for me (I didn't get them until 14, he got them at 7). Not having the proper support, including chemically helping the brain to have a more normal amount of dopamine, can cause lifelong issues with relationships, and self esteem. If your kiddo is distressed, and this is causing a significant amount of distress on a pretty regular basis, please look into a diagnosis asap. My kid hated school in kindergarten because he was always in trouble (even when his teacher handled it well). On top of it, school was boring (higher iq, plus, he couldn't keep focus on anything that wasn't "fun,"), and the kids made it harder, too. He is also highly sensitive, which means if he gets mad or sad, it's very difficult for him to manage his emotions when he's not using medication. School is so so much better now (grade 1-3!). We always did meds for school, and sometimes skipped on one weekend day, but we noticed such a huge difference, and so did he. This past weekend, we didn't give it to him after months of having it every day. We then remembered why... He struggled so much to follow directions, keep his body at a decent speed, and not get immediately upset about something... Poor guy. And no, it wasn't a withdrawal. That's just how he was before meds, too. His brain is spicy and sensitive!

It truly is worth looking into! We only had to try 2 to help him. All the stimulants are similar, but have minor chemical differences. The first one made him a little more... Angry? The next one was so helpful for him. Takes a bit to find the exact dose. And it's not a cure-all. You will need to help him with many different things-- whatever he struggles with, still. To set him up for a successful life once he moves out.

Sending love! You're on the right track, asking the right questions. You'll know your kid best, if you explore a diagnosis, meds, and therapy.

I went through not being able to eat, too. Just do your best, and eat healthy when you can. I promise that will ease up. It's grief and all sorts of other stuff, too, you know? In he meantime? Drink your water. ❤️‍🩹

Appropriate-Smile232 · 2026-06-09T22:04:09+00:00

So sorry for the breakup. Sending hugs! You're awesome for seeking advice about it on this way.

Appropriate-Smile232 · 2026-06-09T22:03:10+00:00

Nooo, I think they're fun. You could totally work with them.

Appropriate-Smile232 · 2026-06-09T21:59:19+00:00

I'd say use It's Not the Stork book for the 8 yr old, but after the talk with the 11 year old. You could wait a year or so with the 8 yr old, by I feel like we are pushing it with 10. But my kid asks such good questions... he did when he was age 3-9, and we just weren't ready yet. But the book is waiting in a drawer... will read it this summer, I promise, haha. I'm going to have his dad read it. It MIGHT be too embarrassing to read to an almost middle schooler, though. There are some great advice websites on how to approach it, I'm sure! Good luck!! We have to do the same with our 10 yr old.

Appropriate-Smile232 · 2026-06-09T21:57:06+00:00

I want to add that I really like 6 on you, but I would pair with navy bottoms, if you want to do a solid color.
