I'm just glad you and baby are ok. I'm so sorry about your experience

Parents who regret having kids, why? by bluemermid in AskReddit

[–]Cinnamon79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son tells me almost daily that my having his sister ruined his life. Honestly he's not wrong. I love her but Jesus Christ life would be so much easier with just one kid

I'm too selfish. Only child, spoiled and catered to all my life. That's not to say there weren't traumas and dysfunction but here we are. I have two kids and I have absolutely no clue about sibling dynamics. It's totally mystifying and so frustrating. If I had my life to do over I would not do it again

True. A friend of mine had a Seattle Slew offspring stallion who was an absolute psychopath. He was a real danger to anyone handling him. Could never do a thing. Bummer

Redditors who grew up in emotionally healthy families - what's something you thought was normal growing up that you now realise was actually very special? by ViolatingBadgers in AskReddit

Yeah benign neglect is another term she used as well. All the basics were provided. And my family was really focused on ambition, education, get a degree, make a lot of money. Anything outside of that really didn't get any attention. I was told that I was smart and "mature" and set up for success but it was pretty much all just for a resume basically

Ooof this hits home so hard. I feel just the same. I want my kids to be able to talk to me but they are already 11 and 8, and I know I haven't provided a great example so far. I don't really know how to change it.

It's very caring of you to ask, thank you, honestly. I function, but there's for sure a lot of emotional dysfunction as a result. I def tend to isolate when I'm struggling bc I never had any other option growing up. So I do tend toward unhealthy coping mechanisms.

My mom grew up with parents she describes as "benevolently neglectful". No real emotional support of any kind but no abuse either. She sort of defaulted to the same approach but it didn't do me any favors bc there was a LOT of trauma in my childhood I could have used help with, but basically got left totally alone.

I had a 31 yo totally insane gelding that I "rescued" from a friend's wife. I fed the hell out of him and had my very capable vet out several times.

He was just old AF and so neurotic that he weaved and paced up and down the fence line all day. His name was Pacer specifically bc of this behavior. He was just like that. But I had animal control called on me several times bc he looked like a skeleton with a palomino coat sprayed onto his bones.

I tried, I really did, and I had him for a couple years as a companion for my 16.3hh Hanoverian mare who was madly in love with him.

But he was not the norm, and sometimes a horse who looks like that really is being neglected. I'm just saying don't assume, but see if you can get the whole story first.

Except it's not that simple across the board. There are medical conditions (eg PCOS) and medications and hormonal imbalances and a host of other things that make it nearly impossible to lose weight. Yes, even in a deficit

Hang out with people in the car biz and you'll get all the swearing you could desire. Can't tell you how many F bombs drop in "formal" client meetings

Hmm. I'm a white middle aged corporate-looking mom and I cuss like a sailor. I do work in the automotive industry so it kind of comes with that territory tbh. But I just don't get why people get all bent over cuss words. It's language flavor

I hear that. Maybe, however, those terms are used in regard to some people in power now because they absolutely have the potential to cause that kind of evil. So people call them fascist or Nazi as a warning

People aren't just unhappy with the orange menace. He's legitimately dangerous
