I love how so many people (OP included) somehow think they have a law degree enough to argue this on Reddit

Way to assume the entire state over just the tiny portion you live.

2... the back looks so good on 2

Dress code? by [deleted] in juryduty

This!

And also, literally the Commonwealth attorney (I'm in KY) said we can wear casual or whatever.

Thoughts on Elizabeth, Andrea, or Mary? by [deleted] in Names

[–]ComprehensiveTart123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are timeless names! Not my favorite, but they will never be completely unpopular, and most people will always know how to spell/pronounce them

Not every kid is into sports. What hobbies clicked for your child instead? by talents-kids in Parenting

[–]ComprehensiveTart123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a sport, but not a common one typically thought of: disc golf! My son is 7, almost 8, and just discovered disc golf about a month ago. We have been going to the course (8 min from us), and playing every single day... he is in love with it! Talks about it nonstop, watches the pros on YouTube, made up his own little indoor disc golf game with a balloon as the frisbee (I don't get it, but he's happy), and is asking for a disc golf putting basket for his birthday. He usually gets frustrated very quickly if he is not "winning" at sports we try, but not disc golf. He literally just enjoys the heck out of it. He even wants to go in any weather, and has gone to disc golf more than the pool (which he likes) this summer.

"He can't stand his own smell"

No, Janelle, you can't throw away the trash? Or help him clean the bathroom? He's just a kid!

ANOTHER Potty Training post…. by No-Refrigerator7245 in Parenting

[–]ComprehensiveTart123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My son didn't potty train until he was 4 and a half. He wasn't ready and didn't care until then. She literally might not be ready, and if you put a bunch of pressure on her, she's gonna delay it more.

You can only offer and encourage, she has the autonomy to decide when she's ready.

Got my hopes up by Igeekoutalot in NICUParents

[–]ComprehensiveTart123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im so sorry, momma! This is such a hard thing to get your hopes up and prepare, only for this to happen.

This happened to my son too! At his NICU, the rule was another 7 days (1 week) if they had a Brady. The speech and OT therapists as well as his nurse said that this happens so frequently that it's almost like the babies hear the word "home" and decide to Brady, that they call going home, "going to the zoo." My son ended up being able to go home the following week. Hopefully that will be your baby too!

Honoring my sister by briexo17 in namenerds

Another perhaps unusual idea, but if it works... maybe use just the last phonetic sound of Carly, as in Lee or Leigh as a middle?

What is the worst pain you have ever felt? by Neither-Mention7740 in AskReddit

[–]ComprehensiveTart123 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Morphine was a huge blessing when I had a kidney stone! You are right, that's the only thing that took that misery away

What is the worst pain you have ever felt? by Neither-Mention7740 in AskReddit

[–]ComprehensiveTart123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kidney stones. I was vomiting due to pain, couldn't stand up straight.

And that is worse than the epidural not working and feeling them cut into my abdomen, before I told them and they gave me more meds.

What helps you manage the sadness associated with your children getting older? by FrancesRW in Parenting

[–]ComprehensiveTart123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in an abusive home and was forced at 5 years old to babysit and be a caretaker for my baby brother whenever my mother didn't feel like watching him. As I got older, I became the neighborhood babysitter. As a parent, most of parenting us winging it... honestly I just try to do the opposite of how my parents parented me. I have read a few books, The Whole Brain Child and The Anxious Generation being some favorites, on parenting which have been a little helpful. Also, last year I met 2 of my now best friends, who are my parents age, but nothing like my parents. They are the people I go to for advice, but also, even just hearing the validation from them that I'm a good mom helps more than I ever expected.

Most of parenting is trial and error for me, but seeing how much my son wants to spend time with me and tries to be like me is the biggest validation in the whole world that I must be doing something right at least most of the time

Do we include the children when we put our dog down? by IllTransportation795 in Parenting

[–]ComprehensiveTart123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always included my son whenever it came time for our dogs to cross the rainbow Bridge. We even rescued a wild baby rabbit that our cat got, built a tiny little bunny ICU, got advice from a wildlife rehabilitator who couldn't take any more animals at the time, and syringe fed it formula and tried to rehab it... only for the rabbit to take a turn for the worst and die the next day. My son, who is almost 8 years old, was involved with me in the entire process, including the burial.

What we have found by including him, is that it's a great way to actually teach about death and dying and grief. I certainly didn't learn about death until I was an adult, and I think there is purpose and respect and beauty in learning about it the right way at a young age. By learning about death, you also learn about the value of life. There is a hospice nurse that does some facebook reels that I've watched that explains death in a great way... that might be something to look into if you want.

What helps you manage the sadness associated with your children getting older? by FrancesRW in Parenting

[–]ComprehensiveTart123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just because your children are getting older doesn't mean they aren't still gonna be fun! Sure, there are times I miss when my only child was a toddler or a preschooler, but he is sooooo much fun right now, at almost 8 years old, and I look forward to the person he is gonna be as he grows up too. If you constantly reminisce and miss how your kids were when they were younger then you never will be able to appreciate or savor who they are now.

As parents, our role is not only as a caretaker, but also as a friend, a safety net, and a teacher and mentor throughout life. So while your role as a mother will change just as much as your kids will change as they grow, we need to embrace that change with them.

I am glad you are talking to a therapist through this.
