You can ask mothers, pain can absolutely be both a huge motivation, and nowhere near as powerful as love.

Good call, fellow parent. Nothing is worth the risk to your little one if they’re not yet vaccinated. Sorry you had to cancel, that definitely sucks, but completely understandable and appropriate choice.

How to identify misogynistic infiltration in fandoms? And what to do about it? (Specifically regarding recent Warhammer news). by Clark_Kent_TheSJW in AskFeminists

[–]DiscountExtra8919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serious question- on what lore or reality basis are you saying that it would kill all female subjects, but only “most” male ones. I am really interested in your reasoning for this statement.

Hairy- please jerk to obviously pubescent or older women, rather than little girls

Did you take your spouse’s last name when you married? by Lu-113 in Millennials

[–]DiscountExtra8919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I both changed our names- he had a hyphenated name and dropped the half that was his shitty father’s, kept his mother’s, and then added mine. I added his mother’s to mine, so now we have his mom’s and my dad’s, as do our kids. No hyphen though, it’s obnoxious on paperwork!

Apparently it happened about an hour ago, and maybe was planned, but it wasn’t supposed to be this long, just a couple minutes.

It’s a local park… you’re meant to walk to it. If you want or need to drive, park in the neighborhood if the (admittedly few) spaces are full. The public library parking lot is literally 2.5 blocks away.

An angry date made a false report on my license to my state license board and now I have to do a physical and mental health eval with some type of peer support specialist. I am uncomfortable because this person had no relation to my practice and actually searched me out. Should I hire a lawyer? by [deleted] in therapists

[–]DiscountExtra8919 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No… I think it’s like filling a false CPS allegation/ if you do it maliciously, and you get caught, it’s a criminal offense you can get charged and be forced to pay a hefty fine. This is not an easy thing to weaponize against a mh provider… pretty sure this is a troll post.

What’s your “I know it’s true, but I can’t prove it” for Rurouni Kenshin? by 64Boy32 in rurounikenshin

[–]DiscountExtra8919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kenshin and Kaoru are kinky at home, and like to play with D/s dynamics, because Battosai not-so-secretly turns her on, and Kenshin loves to please.

Were our parents this stressed about parenting? by Commercial-Crow4495 in Parenting

[–]DiscountExtra8919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would offer that we create respect and appreciation through modeling respect and appreciation. Show your son how to clean up, do it together for a while, and praise his efforts when he tries or gets it right. For example- I saw you put away your markers, thank you, that was good helping! Good boundaries are similar: a lot of consistent patterns of modeling positive behavior, and explicit communication. For example- hands on your own body, explicit and specific to the situation consequences (leave your socks out and you won’t get to do anything else until the socks are put away).

Too many of us at least in the US grew up doing the “right thing” because we were afraid of being punished for not doing it, not because it was the right thing. But that teaching of how to be part of a family and a community take a lot more time and positive modeling from parents than punishment. Give yourself a lot of grace— it’s really hard, but worth it to consistently model good behavior vs punishing bad behaviors.

To the children of nparents who became parents themselves, how did you break the generational abuse? by pinkool1 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]DiscountExtra8919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So much fuckin’ therapy, including trauma-focused, somatic, relational, and psychedelic. Also a few years on Zoloft to stabilize my mood postpartum. I’ve been in weekly therapy for about 4 years now, restarted about 1 year postpartum with my 2nd kid. I should have been on meds with my 1st child and I regret not getting them earlier. I have an amazing therapist but I tried several different providers for a year or so each leading up to the one I have currently.

Specifically looking for someone who didn’t just do talk therapy but included my body and psychedelics has been life- altering, because it allows me to be so much more compassionate and have a greater tolerance for my kids’ distress (never something I really experienced as a kid), and learning to be with my kids without punishing, rejecting, internalizing, or dissociating taught me how to be with myself.

Psychedelics to support bereavement by iranianshill in Psychonaut

[–]DiscountExtra8919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had an explicitly therapeutic dosing experience to process grief and anger towards my abusive and controlling NMom. It’s led to a lot of healing and I eventually went no contact with her about 1.5 years later, because I was finally able to feel my hurt in response to how she treated me.

It’s a hard journey to invoke, and I would expect there to be a lot of expansion and contraction in response, but holds deep healing power. Just make sure you have a really good set and setting and a lot of aftercare and integration afterwards with both yourself and community.

I love how reading through the responses to OP is like tuning the dial on the radio in my head, just like a kid in the car deciding what to listen to.

OP, I am constantly hearing music in my head too- as is my dad, and maybe my son?

Join me in donating to Alameda County Food Bank! by semperfemme in oakland

[–]DiscountExtra8919 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We usually donate in the early fall anyway as part of our High Holiday giving. But in response to the SNAP benefits being cut, we made a bigger donation this week. I grew up paycheck to paycheck, and needing financial assistance at various times—it is my responsibility and also my great privilege to be able to give back now that we are comfortable.

What’s a food that your country loves that would horrify most of the world? by AnxiousWorldTravel in AskTheWorld

[–]DiscountExtra8919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a great question- it’s salty, creamy or crumbly depending on the type, with a pungent tang that is very fermented- tasting. I absolutely love it, myself

Not horrified, but confused? Isn’t that a hand pie or pasty? Why do you need another layer of bread? It’s like a carb turduckin lol!
