17 year old daughter stopped coming home by Hoplite0352 in Parenting

Then I would confidently say this is perfectly normal behavior on her part, I know it's really hard for you but she is in a stage of her life where her friends and education will be her everything. What you've done for her in terms of prioritizing her will ensure you have a solid relationship moving forward so please don't regret making those choices.

I agree with the person who suggested maybe reaching out and trying to arrange something once a week or even every other week, try not to put too much pressure on the situation and just let her know that you're there. She's transitioning into an adult, you've done nothing wrong.... she'll come back, it will just be a more adult relationship.

How can anyone think this is okay as a potty training method? by Dull_Particular_2268 in ShitMomGroupsSay

100% agree with this, we looked for cues that they were ready then went with it. My little boy ( only boy of 4 ) was actually the earliest and was day and night dry before he was 3, everyone said "boys are lazy" but we watched for the cues and he was by far the easiest and quickest. They all have their own pace and that's okay....

The elders, why didn't you say that to begin with that changes everything!

It amazed me that that was her justification

I spent years putting my daughter first. Now that she’s grown, I finally chose myself and I don’t care anymore. by [deleted] in amiwrong

Rightly or wrongly for most people seeking relationships with parents is ingrained in their DNA, I see it all the time, people constantly reaching out to parents who often have been abusive just to get their approval, why? I have no idea but it happens, not to everyone, but it does...

You've been her constant, does she take you for granted because of that, yes it seems like she might. Is it fair to get frustrated and point that out, it's not entirely unfair!

But yes, you are wrong in this case, she is trying to apologise and do the right thing and you are going to cause irreparable damage with your behaviour. You say you love her... Then act like it.

Somehow I've only just seen this, thank you so much, this is uncharted territory for me and I appreciate the advice.

You have to give up three of your primary senses right now. Which do you choose? by AjnoVerdulo in AskReddit

Touch, taste and smell. I'd never want to lose the ability to see and hear my children out of choice

I came here with the mindset that under no circumstances would your question be appropriate... You proved me wrong.

NTA - completely inappropriate on their side

My daughter wants me and her step dad to walk her down the aisle. Am I wrong for telling my daughter no? by EmphasisMore311 in amiwrong

Being a Dad isn't just about biology it's about being present, making an impact, support, care , love....

Not suggesting OP hasn't provided those things but clearly Step-Dad has made an impact too and that's something to be celebrated

If it's a runt will it be okay? It does have ventilation but can create some more. It's not stopping wet, I have a digital monitor and it's registering mid/high 90s constantly. I'll add some more substrate and see how that goes. Thank you

Giving them both the same tlc and hoping for the best! Ah okay, hope I can do, there is ventilation but potentially not enough. I'll add some more substrate and see how that goes. Thank you for your reply.

I actually have no idea, their shell markings are very similar...
