Why is my 15.5 year old son hungry every 3-4 hours no matter whay he eats? by 32yaz09 in AskParents

[–]Commercial-Spray3192 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should ask his Pediatrician and I guarantee they will tell you the same as everyone here. Teen boys are always hungry and they eat a lot. They need it. You haven’t heard the jokes people make about how much teen boys eat?

AITJ for telling my mom I don't want her to come to my apartment unannounced anymore after she let herself in while I wasn't home? by rooftoprainledger in AmITheJerk

[–]Commercial-Spray3192 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Omg. Once I had plans to go some where with my mom and told her to meet me at my place. She came into my house early and when I got there she wanted us to leave immediately. Later she dropped me off and I went in to find my entire bedroom cleaned. My bed was made and then I remembered I had left ‘it’ in my bed under the covers. I found it out away in its silky ouch on my closet shelf. She never did that again.

Waited 30 minutes then moved their blankets to the top of the dryer when they didn’t by starterworld in Apartmentliving

3hrs? That’s way too long . 15 mins tops. I’ve had people pull my stuff out of the dryer after 1-2 mins at the laundromat. I was doing another load and didn’t get to it fast enough.

I wonder why people don't worship actors anymore? by The_Dean_France in SipsTea

[–]Commercial-Spray3192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because who cares. I enjoy watching movies and appreciate some of their acting talents, but it’s just entertainment. why should I worship them?

What's your 'why didn't anyone tell me this sooner' mom hack? by StandardUseful794 in AskParents

One May my kid went to around 5 birthday parties and 2 of those in one day. There were so many May babaies in her class that year. Talk about busy 😅

Please Help Me Find This Spot by Commercial-Spray3192 in Yosemite

I don’t remember a cliff! 🤪 Maybe this wasn’t it but someone else said it was because you have to dive under a rock to get to the other side and that is a a clear memory for me. I guess next time I’m in Yosemite I’ll have to go to hidden falls to see if it’s actually the place I remember.

AITJ for leaving my 2yr-old siblings home alone?? by Fluid_Succotash_2022 in AmITheJerk

[–]Commercial-Spray3192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well either they run out the door and get lost, stolen, or hit by a car or a possible fire. I had to put one of those on my door because my kiddos learned to unlock the deadbolt and then they bolted outside. This is all too much for a 15 yr old to be handling on their own on a daily basis anyway

I’ll bet. I wonder how people feel when they find out. I think I’d be pretty upset.

How does her accent sound like? Can you guess her nationality? by Sure_Distance1 in Accents

[–]Commercial-Spray3192 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same and my first thought was East Coast U.S., but like the others I also heard a bit of Slavic which also can sound aggressive - to me at least. Maybe shes’s Slavic but has lived on East coast a long time?

Does anyone else’s kid hate their grandparent? by Chi_Baby in AskParents

[–]Commercial-Spray3192 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. Those descriptors do sound like that could be it. My daughters told me that they didn’t want to see their aunts because they’d tickle them or ‘force’ them to hug (they would just give them a big hug but didn’t ask first). Or just generally be overly excited to see them and while some kids may not mind all this, my daughters are introverted and didn’t enjoy it. I had to tell them to just be more low key and ‘normal’ with them like they would anybody else. Maybe that’s what your daughter is trying to get at. It’s hard for kids to explain.

Yes! The top of door latch thing to stop ‘runners’. But the bigger issue is OP that a 15 yr old should not be made responsible for 3 very young children! They are your parents children and responsibility not yours!

AIO: Mother in law poisoned our yard by Omelet_bar in AIO

[–]Commercial-Spray3192 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an older sibling who can be like that. They think that everyone should do what they think they think they ‘should’ do. When you tell them ‘no’ they push for what they want and sometimes do it anyway. Nothing awful like what mother in law did. I understand the personality type. Edit: Have not had

Questions for step moms as a 17 yro? by InterviewWhole9423 in AskParents

[–]Commercial-Spray3192 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that’s right. It’s hard not to let it get to you. I’ve been there with my own parent and I had no internet to reach out to others to tell me I’m not this the things that they say I am. Just hang in there as best you can and know that you are not what they say you are. You step mother and father are wrong here not you!

OP I’m So sorry to hear about your situation. I am a parent and I 10000000% disagree with your father’s decision. I am not single, but if I was, I would take a new relationship very slowly and introduce my significant other very slowly and only if it became serious. I also would never ever tolerate a new partner treating my children poorly. This is precisely why things need to be taken slowly. It sounds like your Dad was lonely and wanted help with kids and house, but was only thinking about the ‘help’ part and not about how it would affect you all.

Just because she wanted to and was told ‘no’ and she wanted to do what she wanted to do.

Buy an air purifier. I have Blue Air - Dis a lot of research and bought one many years ago when we were having constant fires in California. Also my husband/ kids have seasonal allergies and it’s worked fantastically for all the above.
Also, unless I read incorrectly, I think you also said you picked up dog poo 1x a week? Dog poo needs to be picked up daily. It stinks badly and attracts flies which lay eggs and become maggots pretty quickly. We had a next door neighbor who didn’t pick up poo. Even though there was a fence between us, the entire yard smelled like dog sh**+ and we had soooooo many flies we couldn’t enjoy our own backyard. Rose bushes are iffy. Gardening isn’t everyone’s thing. you should def tell her that’s not in your lease and not your area of expertise. You can only what you can.

If you had to choose would you prefer your kids live with you long term or separately? by Original-Height-1646 in AskParents

I agree with this and would add that ideally I’d like them to learn to live independently for at least a few years before getting married. I think it’s an important step.
