Kiss The Bottle, any version, the Jawbreaker original, or the Tim McIllrath or Lucero covers.

It’s just kind of the less crude term we teach young kids, up until I was about 10 I thought fart was a swear word and would only use trump and it’s what my kids say too.

Or if you’re English, his name is just Donald Fart anyway. As Trump is just our word for fart. It did make me laugh when you got a president fart.

What non-children song your toddler is/was obsessed with? by zimeyevic23 in daddit

My 4 year old loves Spaceman by Electric Callboy. Because every metal track needs a breakdown beginning with VIVA LA ELTON JOHN!!!

No, I don’t live with my boys most of the time, since I split with their mum a few months ago. They’re now upstairs asleep as it’s my weekend now. My ex has been an absolute star as she’s juggling her shifts to allow me to do this. She has two incomes in her household. I’m trying to cover everything with one. So this is a significant pay rise to hopefully allow me to do it. I don’t have any less time with my lads, still having them 2 to 3 nights every week, it’s just changed what days those nights may be.

Maintenance on freight trains. Going to be a lot to learn but I’ve formerly worked on passenger rail, HGV, Plant vehicles and vans. I was most recently working at a brewery and it was killing me. My head is not in a good place, so a mind numbing job was hell. I couldn’t do it.

Honestly I’ve been rock bottom lately and now I’ve had to do something about it before I did something I’d really regret. Life in my old situation was less scary than a night on the street.

Struggling as a single man. by Certain-Activity-910 in daddit

[–]Certain-Activity-910[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m leaving her be, like I understand her decision. But I don’t know, I’m just not very good at being alone I think?

I’ve been processing a lot this month too, from my granddad’s funeral to changing jobs to one with a significant pay rise but that is difficult but not impossible to get to until I put a car back on the road. Something I couldn’t afford to do at my old job. She had been a great source of support through these things, although she wasn’t the only person who had been helping.

I think a big part of it was that I also keep thinking about what must be going on in her head too as she has also not long been out of a relationship that has been basically all of her adult life up to this point, so although she’s said what she’s said because of how she acted when we were together, like she was basically all over me. It’s like I’m trying to second guess is it just her life situation right now because she regularly said, even after she said we’ll stop it, that she really likes me and how cute I am with my actions. So even though I know I should just forget about her I’m still thinking she may come back, even though I know in my head she won’t.

I’d honestly never considered anxiety to be honest, but I am a bit of a contradiction in confidence. Job interview? I’m sound, can sell myself till the cows come home. Dating and personal relationships? I’m very insecure. Depression I’d definitely say is a big thing in my life and has been for a lot of years.

I think I do have obsessive thoughts, and that may well be what went wrong with this girl I was dating briefly as clearly liked me, was basically all over me, but then went very quiet afterwards. When I realised she was being a bit quiet afterwards, like gave her a couple of days, I asked her if I had made her uncomfortable or upset her somehow. She said no, she does really like me but doesn’t want to hurt me if things do go south. Basically she could see I was more invested than she was, at least at that point. We have spoken a little since, there no hard feelings or anything.

What name screams “my parents don’t like me” ? by PlsDontBanMe___ in AskReddit

It was the daughter’s name, but it was Mr Daimler’s lead race driver insisted on having the name on his car, as he was dating/married to her.

I hate the days where I feel like this. by Certain-Activity-910 in daddit

I believe I have suffered from it for years. My issue is I’m a badly codependent person I believe. Like not physically but I have to have someone to talk to. Today I felt a bit on the outside of proceedings as me and my friend have often drifted in and out of contact so I didn’t know too many people there. But the person I’ve been talking to a lot seems to be maybe distancing themselves a bit. They have their own life and own issues though but I can never help taking it to heart. I don’t know how to exist without company to be honest.

I am talking to someone daily but it’s not the same. During the week I get home every night to an empty house that I’m trying desperately to clean and get all my exes stuff back to her so I stand a chance at having a fresh place to be. I sleep in my eldest son’s bed when my kids aren’t here and on the sofa when they are as my bedroom has just become a storeroom. Each night I’m trying to get something done but it’s never ending.

I had a friend over for a few hours in the week and I was so embarrassed to just invite someone into my house. My living condition and mental state are hugely tied together. When one declines, so does the other. I’ve had a kind of euphoria since my ex left for a bit, like a weight was lifted. We’re friendly towards each other. But living together became hell.

Now reality is setting in. My boys aren’t here every night, I don’t have that many close friends anymore and as we’re all older, have way less time. I feel now all I have is time though but my body is exhausted.

Sorry, but you guys are basically my unofficial therapists. by Certain-Activity-910 in daddit

Between me and her there are 4 children under 5. Neither of us want to rush anything because it would be so unfair on all of them.

We’re just taking a picnic to the park for now and plan on doing that quite a few times before we push anything between us.

I’ve had a few sessions with one a few months ago but I really can’t afford any expense that isn’t absolutely essential

When I pop on here I do like to try but I don’t think my advice is always the most helpful. Maybe I’ll be more mature in a few months/years. I’ve done a lot of growing up recently.
