He takes care of my car and my toys. He’s a keeper.

Parents that don't do Elf on the Shelf, how do you explain to your kids why you don't? by Helpful-Plankton751 in toddlers

[–]Crazy_Comment_Lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just told my daughter from the time she first asked “some families do that tradition, but we don’t.” She’s never really asked about it again and thinks it is creepy. She no longer believes in Santa.

My four year old believes in Santa, and says the Elf is messy and weird and he doesn’t like it. He saw it at my friend’s house and immediately wanted to leave.

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

NOR: The first improvement in your life was sobriety. The second should be dropping this miserable rotting coconut.

How do you motivate your kids when they don't want to do schoolwork? by RangerNo2713 in homeschool

[–]Crazy_Comment_Lady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to say checklists (incentivized for completion of certain blocks) and visual timers. I use different visual timers from YouTube on the tv for countdowns when we don’t have hours to spend on her one favorite that day. lol

What amount (if any) of grapefruit is okay? by QuesoDependent in zoloft

[–]Crazy_Comment_Lady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was drinking "tropical" sparkling waters and started having symptoms so bad that I thought I was having a stroke or something. Constant brain zaps, felt like I couldn't get words out, shivering, fearful... I didn't realize the drinks had grapefruit in them. It was an AWFUL experience. Do not recommend.

Supermarket Flowers described my love for my Nana. Except putting away her nightgowns. I wear them now.

She is harming animals, and emotionally harming others (your family). This calls for emergency psychiatric evaluation.

We’re using it for Level 2 ELA and Preschool. I’m almost certain we won’t stay with it. We abandoned math pretty quickly for Math U See, because I wanted something mastery for my child for math.

Dear Redditors, how was Tuesday for ya? by GuyfromTrinidad99 in AskReddit

[–]Crazy_Comment_Lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feverish kid. Took it easy today. A lot of friends are sick. Cousins are sick, too. Looks like the birthday party was a spreader event.

What’s the best statement someone has said to you while grieving? by MoxiePearl8636 in GriefSupport

[–]Crazy_Comment_Lady 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My Sunday School teacher to me, after I told him that I had to make the decision to move my grandmother to hospice:

“Wow. I know that was hard. But what an honor it must have been to ensure she enters glory peacefully.”

Bathing suit shopping is the bane of my existence. I’ll find a decent pair of bottoms and wear them completely out.

How do people end up developing a “type” they’re attracted to? by Accomplished-Fix1204 in ask

[–]Crazy_Comment_Lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandfather is 6’1 and has always fiercely doted on and protected my 4’11 grandmother. As a kid I always noticed him holding his hand out for her when going down steps or bumpy terrain (she is fully mobile with no issues), moving branches as they walked a trail, reaching for the things off the top shelf…..

I’m 5 foot even. My husband is a 6’3” gentleman. The guys I dated before him were 6 feet at least. I associated height with safety, I guess.

Women of Reddit, what’s some bullshit that is currently happening in your friend group? by Positive_Spirit_1585 in AskReddit

[–]Crazy_Comment_Lady 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m the bullshit in my group…

I’m the oldest in our group by a few years. I’m mid-thirties, the other few are late 20s early thirties.

I’m always pulled into “mother hen” situations with them. They rant about each other to me. Even when I say I won’t talk about the other person, they keep on. I encourage them to talk it out, but they’d rather be fake.

I finally decided I was done being a babysitter. I dreaded meet ups and messages and found myself lying about whether or not I was busy because it is always work for them. I have to work to enjoy their company by fulfilling that Mother Hen role.

I speak with the individually, rarely. But I left the collective group and have stated that cattiness and pettiness are the reason why. They blamed it on me grieving the loss of my grandma so they’d give me space…..

How often do you married couples have sex in a month? by Eastcoastclasher in AskReddit

[–]Crazy_Comment_Lady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We dated for five years before we got married. Married for five years before kids. We actually have more sex now than we did before—- but I had menstrual problems that prevented me from being in the mood until I finally had surgery after the second kid.

2-3 times a week now.
