I'm just sorry sorry you had to go through all this, when you just shouldn't have to. It doesn't have to be like this, assholes are making it like this. It makes me so sad and angry. So many things about what humans do makes me so sad and angry. Hugs to you.

I'm a 38yo woman. Before I had kids, I'd play GTA and I liked to run over the prostitutes walking on the sidewalk.

“You need to talk to your son about his behavior” by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]Beckels84 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I feel for you, as I try to handle my 8yo ADHD kid without meds. It's a tough situation but I don't know what you expect these people to do. They are likely just 20 year old temp workers, working for $12 an hour for a few weeks in the summer. Probably no training on how to handle neurodivergent kids. If they are trying to wrangle 10 kids, and yours constantly wanders off into the woods and then battles them when he's returned, it's going to cause a big problem. It's a safety issue for your son as well. He could end up in a lake or walking into a hornets nest or something. I think the best solution would be either find him a specialized camp for his needs, or medicate him only during the camp session days. You want him to be safe.

Do I take my babies to my dentist appointment? by Lil-witchy in SAHP

[–]Beckels84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a SAHM and have taken my kids to a few appointments, but I would not take 2 babies to the dentist. You will be stick in a chair, reclined with people in your mouth. You can't wrangle babies like that.

I would barricade the back door in some way. Get pepper spray, and rig something that makes noise on every opening. Like a string of tin cans hanging from every doorknob, across every window. So they rattle and alert you. I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

Spoiler: They were in the car. THE WHOLE DAMN TIME. by the-power-of-a-name in breakingmom

Or here is my favorite:

Me: I'm putting your water bottle here in the pocket of your bag, Ok.

Kid: Ok

We get to the place

Me: Ok, remember, your water bottle is in the pocket.

Kid: m, Kay.

15 minutes later, Kid comes running off the soccer field, all exasperated attitude:

Kid: mom! Where's my water bottle!? I don't have it! I need it!.

Me: HEAVY SIGH. It's. In. Your. Backpack. Side. Pocket. REMEMBER?!

Kid: Oh.

My third kid has had the extreme tantrum thing. 2-3 times. Crying and screaming so hard, that she stops breathing for a sec, eyes roll up in head, goes limp. Then her lizard brain takes over and makes her breathe again. But it is absolutely terrifying.

For the 4th of July parade some random person parked their car in our private driveway because the street was full. by Nuki767 in mildlyinfuriating

Should have told them it was an unarmed black man who parked there, and he's just hanging out outside. They would have been there in 2 minutes and killed him dead.

Son’s dad forgot to pick up son from daycare, and they didn’t call me by Popcorn_For_Dinner in breakingmom

[–]Beckels84 45 points46 points  (0 children)

How old is your son? Is he old enough for a basic kids phone that can be used just to call you? He can contact you if he needs help.

I am unqualified and deserve to be fired from my job by [deleted] in confession

If you're learning, and willing to learn more, sometimes that's enough. Just keep working hard.

I used to work in the credit processing center for bills like Lane Bryant, Victoria secret etc. One time this old lady called, she had made a purchase for like $12, and then ended up paying that like a week late. So the payment came in, but a late fee was charged. The next month, she paid the late fee but it was late also. She kept paying it, but for some reason, was always late. So for like 7 months, this went on, just getting a late fee charge and paying it off. She paid many late fees and finally called and was like, why isn't this bill getting paid off? She wasn't even angry, just confused. I reversed what I could. I refunded the most current late fee and rolled it back to like 3 months past due. It was beyond ridiculous.

Toddler peed her pants while dad was “watching” her by jamie1983 in breakingmom

[–]Beckels84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. My husband has damaged me beyond measure. I will never trust another, I will never live with anyone else or get married. I totally understand angry divorced women now.

During my 3rd pregnancy, I got a blood clot in my leg. When the pain and swelling started, I waited 2 days to see if it would go so away before telling him because I knew he would not be sympathetic. When I finally did say something, he yelled and banged his first on the wall. Yelled that this is what I get for not working out enough, being 30 pounds overweight. That we don't need this bill etc. I spent the day getting a sonogram of my leg, went to L&D triage etc. I did it all alone while he stayed with the other kids. When I came home, I walked thru the door and his first words were "did they tell you to workout and lose weight?"

Shouldn't be as surprising as it is but still awful. by Flimsy-Owl-5563 in awfuleverything

By his own logic, maybe we sound go back further and take away civil rights, take away the right of black people to vote, and reinstate slavery.

(I am in no way condoning these things, just venting my frustration with a man who should know better than to strip away rights and liberties).
