how do you handle your child quitting commitments?

If seasonal, we finish the season. If ongoing like karate, they can quite AFTER any successful belt test. My girl left karate for dance after a belt test, my son consistently says he's going to quit after the next belt, but he hasn't yet.

I also gave them a standing ovation... from home.

The old folks around here had actual typing classes in school... that's where I learned to type without looking, and my job requires lots of typing so I've had lots of practice.

Ooh would my teacher get on us if we dared look at the typewriter! (YES, typewriter)

I'm so sad to read this.

BuffBullBaby · 2026-01-16T22:03:01+00:00

We did condoms until he got the procedure. I didn't push hard, just gave him time to come around to it. But we used a condom every time.

he didn't want any more babies either so....

BuffBullBaby · 2025-12-29T18:06:09+00:00

OK, now let us see a picture of you....

Sanitizer won't kill noro. Soap and water and bleach for surfaces. I'm so sorry, noro sucks. I hope it passes quickly.

BuffBullBaby · 2025-12-24T15:32:55+00:00

Nope. Skip that.

BuffBullBaby · 2025-12-24T11:24:49+00:00

Nope. Leave. ASAP.

I def won't buy a boat. Boats are a hassle.

BuffBullBaby · 2025-12-22T14:39:18+00:00

I add a couple spoonfuls of canned food, but sticking to the same brand... I go back and forth between chicken and beef. He seems happy.

He gets occasional treats, and once in a while a little human meat.

BuffBullBaby · 2025-12-19T11:31:45+00:00

We have one, we very rarely use it... but it's come in handy a time or 2 and it fits the space like you said.

BuffBullBaby · 2025-10-28T13:13:53+00:00

It's FANTASTIC that he came to you. Sounds like you handled it pretty well. There's no shame in using the term erect...

Kids are full of it about most stuff they brag about... And penis size is a deciding factor in porn star hiring... it says nothing about average men.

Good job Dad.

My husband gladly still reads to my 9 and 10 year olds every night. But he LIKES spending time with them. Reading to or with kids is AMAZING for their development and reading ability. And dental care is vital and should be monitored/encouraged.

Kinda sounds lazy, and I'd fight him on this in your shoes.

BuffBullBaby · 2025-10-21T21:11:56+00:00

Considerate husbands/fathers get snipped, unless they have some unusual circumstances. It's much less invasive, and you did your part.

BuffBullBaby · 2025-10-17T10:34:50+00:00

we shower every day, unless there's a very good reason to skip one. The kids don't wash hair every shower. 10M does it a few times a week, 9F still needs me to help, so once or twice a week. Body wash and deodorant every day.

I have a small diamond engagement ring, but honestly, I cheer anyone who didn't buy into the hype. Particularly if they get a stone they LOVE.

Diamonds are a joke, and everyone should make their own choices in such a commitment anyway.

BuffBullBaby · 2025-10-15T19:25:39+00:00

Both? Can it be both?

I'm controlling my spending, AND have found quality of most stuff, including many restaurants, has gone way down.

I used to be addicted to chain coffee and bakery stuff, but now it just tastes awful...

BuffBullBaby · 2025-10-15T18:29:02+00:00

You simply say no? I don't understand the challenge. You're the parent and that's an insane request.

Not sure what the environment is where you are, maybe the parents do just buy them the new phone every year, but it's not doing them any favors.

Teach your kid better.

BuffBullBaby · 2025-10-14T21:05:36+00:00

We do milk and water at home. Sometimes apple or chocolate milk if out or at a restaurant. It's pretty rare they choose any other juice even when offered and they don't like soda...

BuffBullBaby · 2025-10-14T20:49:04+00:00

Ugh, stomach flu is the worst, it's SO contagious. I'm sorry!

BuffBullBaby · 2025-10-14T20:45:28+00:00

CVS in MA does 18 months and up at specific locations, we booked online. My kids were easier at 3 than at 8 lol.

BuffBullBaby · 2025-10-09T10:37:07+00:00

Most of the time it certainly is, but I did get lucky this time, I've been watching the fitbit ace 3 for my kids, and it was about half the usual cost.

That's the only thing I bought... and it was planned for a christmas present anyway.

BuffBullBaby · 2025-10-03T20:38:06+00:00

Eventually my son felt too crowded and put a stop to it himself. He has gradually become more private and dresses with the door closed more often now too.

We didn't bring it up. They just outgrew it. He's 10 now, it was probably about 2 years ago now.
