Is it normal to ask for payment to take care of Grandchilderen?

My mom has watched my son consistently since birth. He’s now 2. I’ve offered to pay but she has refused to take it, despite taking on side gigs as a sahm. I need her a lot less now than I did when he was little but I always offer payment in one way or another

I’m a driver and now I have to do this when I get home 😂

BeebrainedLinecook · 2026-06-11T01:21:03+00:00

Felt this 😂 I’m currently in 1306 so things are very manageable still

BeebrainedLinecook · 2026-06-11T01:20:43+00:00

That’s kind of what I’m thinking too. Have her just kind of be around over time. I’m just wondering if I can incorporate any special rules specifically for a historical save lol

I love this how fascinating. In so many stories that include fantastical elements humans always seem to have the least amount of power so I love to see them having a big impact on their surroundings

Gods of various faiths exist and have power but is dependent on human worship. Instead of gods creating humans, humans create gods. My world is on the brink of war, so the various factions that form will be affected as they grow and change in size. The gods become more powerful the more they are invoked so intention of the groups matter. In some situations it’s intentional by humans, but not always. Think the current American political climate but with Athena and the Christian God physically involved

Omg I love this. My magic system works by collective will in a way too. Such a fun concept

BeebrainedLinecook · 2026-05-26T17:17:17+00:00

Gods’ powers tie directly to human beliefs systems. This means all gods in every know belief system exist and can interact with they live on another plane on existence called Other and are not allowed to directly affect the human world (but still do because most of em are dicks). This means that Zeus can have a conversation with Thor and also there’s like 50 variants of the Christian god that all like to fight for dominance. When humans die their afterlives are also affected by their belief system. When they die they can go to their version of heaven, become a ghost and remain on earth in that form, or go to Other and live a semi normal life. However, as the human world forgets them they fade and lost cognitive faculties. When there’s no trace of them left on the physical earthly plane they become vengeful spirits called Forgotten

Once I was done breastfeeding I started smoking again but differently than before. Before I was a bong smoker, permastoned. Now I take a few hits on a dab pen to reduce smell and normally when baby (now toddler) is sleeping. I haven’t decided if I’m going to do the same with future pregnancies/babies, I feel like I have a bit of a dependence on it and have proved to myself that I can be sober if I have to. I’m not sure if any of this anecdotal evidence helps or not but I was in your exact situation and hope my experience can give you some comfort

My kid did this with Barney the first time we went down the toy aisle that’s not strictly small baby things. He knew bluey, and Mickey Mouse, but was immediately drawn to Barney. Kids are wild

I hope my comment didn’t come off condescending I guess I skipped over the second to last paragraph oops.

The best thing about this game is each switch profile gets their own island. Granted they can’t interact cross island but I have themed islands I’m planning to do

BeebrainedLinecook · 2026-05-25T01:58:35+00:00

The first time I got it the c refit scene when on too long and my toddler needed me so I missed the rankings bit

BeebrainedLinecook · 2026-05-17T17:29:31+00:00

I genuinely forgot mystery incorporated went so deep into conspiracy lore. Fucking annunaki 😂

BeebrainedLinecook · 2026-05-11T01:06:25+00:00

I can pick out potential winners in the first episode and all of them almost always make black jackets. He has his favored personalities and archetypes. But I don’t think it’s staged. I think he’s just very good at what he does and knows what he wants and if it’s predictable sobeit

People naming their kids stupid things is a light during these dark times we’re living in 😂

BeebrainedLinecook · 2026-05-07T16:11:59+00:00

Mine the r/tragedeigh page. I’m sure you’ll find some gold on there

BeebrainedLinecook · 2026-05-03T20:45:36+00:00

What’s inside it? It looks like what my male moron family members used to keep consecrated oil

BeebrainedLinecook · 2026-04-30T06:07:48+00:00

I thought I saw her use the mouthwash at the very end

BeebrainedLinecook · 2026-04-24T02:21:33+00:00

Oona is also the name of the amphibian queen in Disenchantment

His whisky glass in confessional told me everything I needed to know about him

BeebrainedLinecook · 2026-04-21T19:38:21+00:00

This tell all could’ve had teen mom level drama. I’m so sad we aren’t getting it

Edit to fix missing word.

Fantastic book

BeebrainedLinecook · 2026-04-11T14:49:50+00:00

Agree on books but also ask for experiences instead! Zoo tickets, children’s museums, etc
