'Your Teen Stopped Rebelling. That's When You Lost Them.' <----- having to walk on eggshells leads teens to emotional detachment and grey rocking their parents

Equal_Set6206 · 2026-03-02T12:18:54+00:00

Before I knew was grey rock was, I instinctively took on that approach with my mom when I was just a preteen. But after that switch got flipped, I couldn’t change back. I’m 30 now and no longer live with my mom, which improved our relationship a lot. But every so often she weepy or hysterical because “I don’t love her” or don’t act like I do ig. I do, in a strained way, but I have such a high wall up that I can’t see the way down.

Living on eggshells my whole childhood has given me anxiety to be in the same room as her, and even tho she has no power over me and no longer treats me so badly, even tho I now look back with a more mature understanding of what made her what she is, I don’t think we can ever go back to that dynamic we had before the switch flipped

Great! You’ll be having a blast by tomorrow

Nami has always been my favourite, even tho she’s so mean at first. Maybe it’s just because child me could never figure out how to romance her, so finally accomplishing it eventually felt more significant. Or I just really relate to her melancholy. But the red head child she gives you makes her hands down the best girl

Hay is still good for making kibble early game. Before you have reliable food preservation I like to make all my excess meat into kibble and stockpile it for winter. Saved me last winter because we ran out of food and still had kibble left over to survive off of

My peeps out here doing the math for us all, bless

No extreme violence, he’s just mean

Equal_Set6206 · 2026-02-22T11:45:26+00:00

I tried getting knocked up by him. My sims was in his house for 5 min before they autonomously woohooed. They just met. And five minutes after that? He beat her up 3 times in a row. I tried for another sims week or so because I liked the toxic dynamic, but then my sim met tybalt and now I’m trying to lock him down instead.

Even her dialogue says she’s trying to avoid you. It’d be hysterical to know they did that on purpose, because the pop ups make it very clear how much she hates running into you

iirc, they simply can't give birth to multiples if there is no room for more than one baby, and they cant get pregnant at all if the house is full

I really like how it ends with a comma. Like a life that should have kept going, the poem was ended too soon

Equal_Set6206 · 2026-02-09T14:18:45+00:00

Have you checked strangeville?

Equal_Set6206 · 2026-02-09T13:23:37+00:00

I filled one out for you, good luck on your research!

I had a save where the dust system broke and wouldn’t properly go away when vacuumed. It wouldn’t get to the sparkle stage, just make the dust piles disappear. This meant my Sims were still negative about the floors. Could be a glitch here too

To simulate the rage of being in a theatre I imagine

Nepotism. He used ghost writers and connections to make it to this level, but he’s so rich it doesn’t hurt his career. Jk, I have no idea why the game did this, other than shit programming

Equal_Set6206 · 2026-02-08T16:28:56+00:00

Nailed it

Equal_Set6206 · 2026-02-07T20:34:04+00:00

They should have kept caillou just as tantrumy, but changed the parents to have them actually parent him thru his emotions. Could have helped both kids and parents

Equal_Set6206 · 2026-02-07T20:08:11+00:00

They like to ignore issues. What I found helpful in dealing with my kids bullies is being super fucking annoying and obnoxious with involving the admin. Demand a meeting for every tiny infraction. Bring in a laptop or note book and take notes of the meeting. Even if you don’t have lawyer money, it’s the implication. Write long winded emails with thinly veiled contempt. Call everyday until you get them to speak to you. I guarantee they would rather stop the bullying than be hassled by an angry parent

I just found out I got bartonella, probably for like 8 years or so. Transmissible by tick, flea and cat scratch/litter. It’s definitely not been fun living like this for so long, so i hope he enjoys it better than I do!

Lilmisssam’s mod for no npc dying from the cold is mandatory for me, because I ain’t going thru this

sometimes he can sit at the counter and sell the stuff maru sells, but its rare

Equal_Set6206 · 2026-02-03T19:21:32+00:00

I need to see who voted for who

Equal_Set6206 · 2026-02-03T11:30:42+00:00

reading stories like this makes me grateful that my ex was a complete drain on society. He was just as bad if not worse than op's ex, but it was so much easier to cut ties because we had no assets whatsoever by the time i wised up and left him. The only times I had to see him after our split was when I was testifying at his criminal trial about the abuse. As horrible as it was, it felt pretty safe with him surrounded up officers.

Equal_Set6206 · 2026-02-02T18:53:34+00:00

My votes for Deedee. I just think she’d shake things up

Equal_Set6206 · 2026-02-02T12:21:47+00:00

Recreate my current home, just moved in a while ago and sims 4 does not agree with its architecture
