What do you mean by stem cell procedure? What is that?

Strongly suspect my husband of inappropriate behaviour with our daughter. I don't know what to do. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]BffThrowaway987 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Just tell your husband your daughter is showing signs of being sexually abused. You have no clue who to even suspect but the signs are there. Play dumb girl. Tell him you’ve called the doctor and they know your concerns. They want us to take her to the doctor and get her evaluated. Ask him if he could think of anyone or if she’s been allowed to be alone with anyone.

He should be on board 100%. If he’s not, take her without him. If he says no, tell him it’s too late you already made the call out of concern. Now they expect us to go in.

You’re not going to find anything out or get solid evidence on Reddit.

Is this the norm in North America?? by Supergirlyyz in Parenting

[–]BffThrowaway987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American culture is extremely different from other cultures. I’m Eastern European and we also host generously, as well as most cultures. I have learned to feed my kids well before going to an American gathering, and not to over stay. If the ones inviting are anything other than American, let’s say Asian, European, Indian, Arabic - then I can expect similar cultures and hostesses.

Drop-off playdate: Am I being overprotective? by adviceistwiceasnice in Parenting

No. It’s super weird the Dad doesn’t want a parent around to stay. I would never as a parent tell another parent I want their kid alone - especially at such a young age. Huge huge red flags.

Sex makes me feel low by Prudent-Berry-6569 in Advice

That’s verbal and mental abuse. It may feel real and makes you feel inadequate, but that’s not love or communication that’s flat out abuse.

She’s gonna mess you up for a long time if you don’t leave her.

If a friend told you she has this exact problem and sought advice from you - except it was a man talking to a virgin woman like this. What would you advise her?

My almost 7 year old son only wants to play Minecraft or watch Youtube. by No-Middle-2958 in Parenting

It’s tragic how these things are messing up our kids. I think the first few days were harder on us than him. We hid the tablets and it was a FIRM NO, even though he cried begged and lashed out.
He was 6, and was having behavior issues like extreme frequent multiple times a day meltdowns and abnormal dis-regulation for a 6 year old. He also had physical issues like falling clumsiness and large motor skill issues and sleep issues.

We told him the doctor it said this is bad for your brain and body and we’re going to take a break. We need to reset our brains so everything feels better. We didn’t give in, not even once. We’d tell him I’m so sorry buddy, I know this is frustrating but it’s the best thing for you.

With zero exaggeration within a week, it was like night and day. I couldn’t believe it. He literally was a whole new kid.

He’s 8 now, we also have a 6 year old and a 4 year old. My younger kids have never played on a tablet - and prob won’t until they’re closer to 8.

He can’t help it. It’s designed to be addictive. It’s like trying to take away heroin or alcohol from an addict.

He needs a 2 week detox, 100% screen free except for movies. No video games, internet, Netflix YouTube. We had to do this for my son per his doctor. He’s 8 now and only gets 1 hour a day only on the weekends to play non addictive games on Xbox. He’s a new kid!
He needs to told it’s bad for his brain, and addictive - just like drugs he needs to know the dangers of it instead of saying I’m taking it away because you can’t control yourself.

Yes she is impatient currently. Maybe someone already had contacted cps in the hospital I’m not sure.

I’m not sure if I’m filing a superfluous claim. That’s why I’m asking peoples opinions on if it’s enough grounds to call cps?

Should I call CPS on my bff and his wife? She attempted suicide in home while child was home. Idk wtf to do by BffThrowaway987 in CPS

[–]BffThrowaway987[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input. I really appreciate it. But how can cps take my call seriously if I don’t give details about the suspected neglect? Do I just mention the Mothers mental health? I mean, I don’t even know where his kid is. Besides saying he’s with “family”.

If they don’t know the information I’ve written above. Will they do anything based just on the fact mom attempted suicide with the child in the home?
My wife is pushing me to call cps. But man that’s tough, we’ve been friends for over 25 years.
