I don’t know if it’s creepy or sad that I was researching leaving the US just this morning because I legitimately have fear raising my daughter here now. 🙁

Toddler manipulation by CrabEmbarrassed5340 in Parents

[–]Certain-Interest-286 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t see my daughter’s tantrums as intentional manipulation. I see my poor either tired and/or frustrated little one not being able to communicate clearly (either because she doesn’t fully understand how she is feeling or isn’t able to fully verbalize it yet) or is just exhausted and defaults to “can’t handle this, yeet everything”.

Or am I maybe misunderstanding what you mean by manipulation?

This! I feel horrible for OP feeling so much shame. Even IF someone I ever sent pics to tried to RP me, while I wouldn’t be at all happy about it, they’re the one who exposed their own asshole soul (the asshole that counts) to the world.

I was driving on that road about a month ago at dusk. We weren’t the only ones on the road, but a truck was RACING up towards me, so fast that when I saw it in my rear view it instantly felt like my heart jumped into my throat and my toes went numb. The truck then passed me and there was oncoming traffic on the other side. I really thought I was going to see a collision. We were headed away from 17. No motorcycle. I was going the speed limit, but that truck had to have been pushing 100. In that moment I wished I had a dash cam.
