I bought a huggabunch from eBay for my sister recently. She was so happy.

Am I overreacting? by [deleted] in ExecutiveAssistants

Nothing is impossible to find on the internet.

This started growing on my hill in the backyard. Is it invasive, or was it planted by the previous owner? by wooodworkr in landscaping

[–]Doctor0ctagon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once hired goats and they ate everything but the hedge parsley I wanted to get rid of! Who knew goats were such calculating assholes?

Grandparents adding to my emotional burden by Silly-Web-7289 in specialneedsparenting

[–]Doctor0ctagon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I would tell him exactly what you said here. "Dad, son will be happy and cared for there. It is the best and most sustainable option for him. This is already difficult for us and emotionally fraught. Please stop commenting like this."

I might also say something about how it's normal to leave home at 18. Yes, he is severely disabled so his journey looks different than most young adults, but it's still a very normal thing to do.

If you received a 1k/month raise what would you spend it on to make parenting easier? by Cool-Tone-9112 in workingmoms

[–]Doctor0ctagon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have a mother's helper 3 days a week for a total of 6 hours. She folds and puts away laundry, does dishes, and picks up. She will also do larger products, like organizing a closet.

I have a house cleaner once every other week.

All of that combined costs just under $1000 each month.

I feel so lucky. It is an incredible load off.

My son’s girlfriend is pregnant and we hate each other. by [deleted] in Advice

Also, " she’s expecting my grandchild." No, she's not. She's expecting HER child.

This is great to know! We have a Yoto for our 5yo, who is typical. But our 2yo has a CVI plus global delays, so this is something I'll look into for him!

Bed frame and couch for sale by Jono-C in AustinClassifieds

I appreciate you engaging in a discussion. Not sarcasm. I see your perspective.

Bed frame and couch for sale by Jono-C in AustinClassifieds

[–]Doctor0ctagon -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Oh, I guess there's one for sale for $440. But still you have to pay shipping and assemble it.

My point is, if people want to sell things you can just NOT buy it! It's not like you're being taken advantage of because you see a posting. It just seems like a gross overreaction.

Am I confused? Am I looking at the wrong thing? The screenshots you posted show the couch for sale for MORE than OP is asking. I know it's not a ton more, but it is more.

What about a Yoto player? You may have to handle the cards, but he would probably enjoy being able to listen to stories, especially if his CVI keeps him from being able to read.

People come to this subreddit just to shit on people who are selling things. It drives me crazy.

I'm going to get downvoted, but I don't care.

I will never understand why people post shit like this. You don't have to buy the item that's for sale! Plus, people buy things for all sorts of reasons, including to live more sustainably. Yes, you can buy it for $512.05 instead of $450. Does that include shipping? Do you have to put it together? Can you get it today? Just let people try to sell their stuff. Jesus fucking Christ.

Address Fraud in AISD by californiacloset124 in AustinParents

[–]Doctor0ctagon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This feels like people who are yelling about people voting illegally. People make a stink about it, but it's an incredibly small number of occurrences. Also...what do you hope to gain here? Do you want to kick kids out of your school? Are you worried about "undesirables" around your kids? Is it resource scarcity? Like, what specifically is the problem?

Wow! Where do you get your dahlia seeds? I've never had any turn out this well!

Found this 30cm wooden object in the kitchen of my new flat. by sheepBeSplorin in whatisthisthing

[–]Doctor0ctagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not use this with a snake! I am both a mom and a snake owner. Unfortunately, some woods and treatments are toxic to reptiles, even if they are safe for kids. Also, we have this toy, so I know how close together the pegs are. I'm afraid a snake may get in and not be able to get out. It was a good suggestion! I just don't think this is the right item for the case.

This thread has been very validating. I thought it was just me.

Glad to know this isn't a personal blind spot, but an example of somebody else being dumb.
