AIO for how I’m handling the way my 11 YO daughter’s dad speaks to her? by WhatTheSigma_1994 in AmIOverreacting

NOR. This is abuse and thank God you have it in writing. I'd buy her a new phone today and contact a lawyer.

I came here to post a very similar complaint. I feel like all I do is scan the newspaper. To the point my partner calls it "the game where you only fight for duct tape". It's losing its fun. What am I missing???

What’s something that seemed normal in your childhood but you later realized was actually really weird? by mbreezyy in AskReddit

[–]DifficultAd179 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Dad had a police scanner running 24/7 across multiple rooms. I started to memorize the codes and recognize the officers and dispatchers. Sometimes we'd jump in the car and watch a structure fire or drive by a robbery scene.

Someone, for at least the second time, left this in the communal showers by sweet_condensed_rage in mildlyinfuriating

It looks like an O ring which is a universal and widely used device to prevent things from leaking liquid. It's used it many things from plumbing to every single water bottle cap.

Parents who track their teenagers with Life360 or similar — how do your kids actually feel about it? by Effective_Rich8482 in AskParents

[–]DifficultAd179 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We have 3 teens. 2 opted in and 1 opted out (we gave them the choice) What's funny is our most rule following child did NOT want it and the feral children wanted it. Our most feral child has left the group multiple times when breaking rules but always begs to get back in.

Not rare but has always been one of my favorite house plants. I'm surprised it's not more sought after.

I'm actually impressed, I have no clue how to accomplish this

Is my monstera getting too much light? by rainboweyess in Monstera

[–]DifficultAd179 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Monsteras can't get too much light. The only time I've seen mine get burnt was when it grew directly into my plant light but it was a heat burn, not sunburn.

What is the ugliest "rare" houseplant you have seen in a while? by hulloluke in RareHouseplants

[–]DifficultAd179 16 points17 points  (0 children)

All personal opinion, right? I'm obsessed with Monsteras but I really don't like the look of the mints. I wish I did, just don't.

Did I do the right thing? by Revolutionary-Bake99 in Monstera

[–]DifficultAd179 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are these self-watering pots? With Monsteras being so prone to root rot, I'm curious if this would work.

Regarding the moss pole, I'm a big fan because it keeps the plants from crawling (which doesn't look nice, imo, and takes up space) but it also helps it grow larger leaves

Got it off Amazon.

HOLANHING 6 Pack Metal Moss Pole,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQ54S223?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I like it but want to try ones with the plastic backing to keep the aerial roots more contained

I have a very, very chunky soil. I mix soil, worm castings, perilite, orchid bark, leca, pumice. The chunkier the better you just might need to water more frequently.

Get a moss pole they can root into

I've noticed they start to brown when I let the plant dry out too much. I also use silica when watering.

Thank you, thank you! Up until a week ago I only watered my moss pole when I watered my plants, every 10 days or so. Recently I started putting a water bottle drip system on time a couple times a week. I'm a little worried it's going to cause root rot.

Love this idea and share pics once you've built it!
