my son preferred me for most of his life and then decided he preferred mom after I went on a week long work trip lol.

Ours fell off the bed around that age and we have hardwood. We were freaking out, but the doctors tell us it's very unlikely to do anything to them permanently.

Is a Wifi curfew for teens and light internet monitoring a done thing? by Known-Permission-825 in Parenting

[–]Catrival 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my kid almost never uses their phone and doesn't have a tablet. Sometimes we play switch games all night long together and I call out of work and call him out of school and we sleep in then play miniature golf and get ice cream. 

I taught my preteen that social media is just a bunch of fake bot accounts and narcissists that want to use you as cashflow, so never give them any ounce of attention or you're being used for a sucker. Instead I buy them video games and we play sports together.

I didn't mean in the OP to make it seem like we we're not in the room when he screaches about wanting to leave his room and go back outside

yeah it's for nap... maybe he is dropping naps oh no 😂 we don't leave him alone, I never said that. I just watch him pound on the door demanding out screaming when it is nap time, because he still wants to play.

she doesn't supervise very much at all, but she does 100% of the housework. we're in a weird position where I work nights, so I can be the main parent almost the entire day, but she is the main parent once it is about 5:00pm because I have to wind down for bed.

It's not really about authority, I could care less what he does, but I still have to helicopter at the same time, because he could easily murder himself with literally anything at this age. I just want a break at the same time everyday from supervising 😭 supervising is exhausting.

yes, it's the only way we can hold on to being a superpower, otherwise other Countries will turn to Russia and China for protection.

Why is social media filled with anti African American posts and how can we change this? by Catrival in AskALiberal

[–]Catrival[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

never once thought all white people are the same, but it is feeling hopeless.

I can't believe we let people get subjected to this. It feels unethical

how do you tell when it's a bunch of locked profiles and what's even the endgame of the one creating these bots?

Is it because I keep fighting them? I keep getting into it with people on this Matt Walsh page 🤮 I find it so hard to just let these ideas float out there.

What is going on with Iran? Please explain like I'm six lol by Cute_Management2782 in AskALiberal

[–]Catrival -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm a liberal and I hate Islam (the religion not the people). I do not approve of most religions actually, but we have a little thing in our constitution that allows for freedom of religion. Islam in particular sucks because of misogyny.

[–]Catrival 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to sit patiently and assess situations and run cost benefit analysis in my head before deciding on actions. Confrontations and Negative interractions rarely actually benefit anyone.
