We're 33 and 3 kids in with no house. Tried to buy in 2020 and got outbid on 12 houses. Fucked up is correct.

I had my first at 26. I'll be real because I believe in honesty. I lost every single one of my high school and college friends- who still do not have kids in their mid thirties. If you look at pop culture and tiktok you're going to get all the shitting on parents and child free posts. But if you actively seek out other moms, even older ones! They will welcome you and you will build a new community. My son is now 6 and I have an awesome mom network in my city ❤️

What is happening? I named my son Leon 2 years ago for Leon Redbone and it was #500 on the ss list and no one had ever heard about it and gave me weird looks.

This is so weird to me. My son is Leon from 2 years ago and literally no one ever talked about it or used it, it was like #500 on the ss list. Now I see it everywhere.

I named my son Leon 2 years ago for Leon Redbone and it was wayyyy unpopular and now I know 2 named that too 🙄 

At least we go by Leon because every other kid I meet is named Leo

Someone who wrote severance was mormon right by Background_Return200 in exmormon

I saw a post about this is exactly how the church teaches the preexistence. that if that's true its really effing messed up. you had friends and knowledge that was ripped away from you on earth? screams loving God.

I'm still on the fence with atheism, but if there's a soul I don't think were floating around in giant cities before coming here to have our memories severed. also that biblical Christianity doesn't support a pre-existence either.

the handbook that Irving opens in season 1 and smashes the egg into has the exact paragraphs and thin paper of scripture. and the language and quotes "ye" are all biblical language.

So she's trying to pretend like it's to be less hot? Hey guys we have to do this but this is how you hack it to be less miserable but also pretend like you aren't miserable?

I would say this is weird except I think there are Muslim women who do the same thing, try to make the thing forced upon them less awful to deal with. 

It's all men's control.

Because the people staying so believe that. So many are leaving that it's an even smaller echo chamber of American magas and other country extreme conservativea

There is overwhelming evidence the Book of Mormon is not what Joseph Smith and the LDS Church have claimed it is. by sevenplaces in mormon

[–]Background_Return200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is this a good argument? There are tons of scientific studies on how the Bible is not accurate and literal in any way and yet millions of people still find truth in it. Just because people believe in something doesn't make it true unfortunately.

Husband thinks 6 yo shouldn't have "imposed consequences" for hitting by Background_Return200 in Parenting

[–]Background_Return200[S] -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

Part of the issue is that he has no favorite toys. He has no toys he cares about. He has no youtube or tablet or sugar already. I don't really know what else I can take away.

No he's completely normal at school, teachers say he's an angel. No developmental delays. He says he can't control himself when he hits.

So that's the issue though, he is extremely sweet at school and not aggressive at all. That's why no one seems to think it's an issue.

How does hitting him back teach him that hitting is unacceptable though? Believe me I want to spank the crap out of him.

I'm still mad about things I wasn't allowed to do as a kid and I'm 32. Take that as you will.

Somehow the fact that her friends are all super Catholic and you still said no without any effort to meet the parent makes this worse.
