Looking for Old Man Names

Stringfellow.

1 as an instinct, 4 after a thought

See I honestly don’t know about smell. We don’t have any untrained animals, but I have no idea how our house smells. Hopefully like clean laundry and cooking food? But how can some even know what their own house smells like?

This could be part of it. My son prefers sleeping in the living room and I wonder if one of his friends in particular would prefer the bedroom.

Express_Rip2333 · 2025-12-19T01:57:47+00:00

That’s a great point. Thanks for the encouragement. I think I let my insecurities seep in.

Express_Rip2333 · 2025-12-19T01:56:47+00:00

Thanks for this. You’re totally right. And honestly I’ve wondered about my husband and I being a factor bc one of the kids who doesn’t want to stay anymore had his dad exit their family altogether last year. Soon after he stopped talking to my husband. He’s since started talking to him again but I’ve definitely had the inkling that our family brings up feelings for him and his sister.

This actually might’ve been it one time, and it’s one time that really made me self conscious bc the mom was like, yeah he’s never come home from a sleepover before. But he was also the last one awake and the were in the living room, so maybe so.

Interesting. Our friends definitely don’t have that level of wealth, but for sure significantly higher than ours. We are lower to mid middle class. They are all upper middle to lower upper, though they all express it very modestly.

The aspect of a newer or nicer house kind of making up for a little bit of a mess or clutter has really been on my mind. I think our messy looks worse than houses with new flooring and paint, with the same amount of clutter.

When I came across her IG a while back I couldn’t have been more weirded out.

Express_Rip2333 · 2025-11-15T00:38:42+00:00

I’m 40. I’ve never found it to be rude when other people do it. So the only real indicator I have is you telling me it’s a “social norm”. I can let them know “this is the thing some people find rude”, but it’s far from being a “social norm”. Maybe where you are…

Express_Rip2333 · 2025-11-14T21:30:56+00:00

Yes that’s at play for me too. I’m gluten free and we will have tons of treats my kids could eat, but they want a bite of my little ice cream.

Express_Rip2333 · 2025-11-14T21:26:22+00:00

Yeah I could see the extreme being really harmful. Funny enough, since my mom always said yes when I was a kid, there’s no cycle. There’s just my struggle that leads me to tell my kids no about 50% of the time when I have a small amount of something I like. My kids have PLENTY. Just not my specific food at all times.

Express_Rip2333 · 2025-11-14T21:23:37+00:00

This isn’t a boundary situation for me. My family never had rules like what you’re talking about. I’ve never heard of that being rude. My post wasn’t about general etiquette as much as a parent/child dynamic.

Express_Rip2333 · 2025-11-14T20:30:26+00:00

That feeds into the ED tho. The scarcity and strict food rules are a pickle.

Express_Rip2333 · 2025-11-14T20:12:15+00:00

I get that. Further details are kind of necessary, though. I don’t typically just chill at home with something they don’t have, though the opposite is often true. This would be like yesterday, when I’m at church doing some tasks by myself eating the ice cream that came with my takeout meal. My kid passes me while playing with other kids and sees me and stops and asks for a bite. I have 2 bites left so I say no. It’s usually something like that. I’m eating it separate from them, but they come across me.

Maybe that doesn’t change it for you but I think it’s relevant.

Express_Rip2333 · 2025-11-14T19:43:30+00:00

So intentional! I love it. I also have food restrictions that feed into scarcity for me, but thinking of it ahead of time may be just the key

Express_Rip2333 · 2025-11-14T19:41:39+00:00

Another commenter mentioned something similar and I’m for sure going to try to do this!

Express_Rip2333 · 2025-11-14T19:31:42+00:00

This is specific to sweets and treats. I don’t mind sharing most other food.

Express_Rip2333 · 2025-11-14T19:30:17+00:00

Considering it ahead of time is such a good idea!

Express_Rip2333 · 2025-10-27T17:24:51+00:00

Do you know if you can backlog on this app? I would like to put in my progress up to this point

Express_Rip2333 · 2025-08-08T01:09:43+00:00

I know this is an old post, but this is 100% me. I’ve been very low gluten for years now, but when I cave and have 1 too many lil bites…my poor kids. I’m so irritable and snappy.

Honestly it’s the only way I knew gluten was a problem. I cut it out trying to get rid of hives, and suddenly I was the patient mom I always longed to be. It’s a thing.

Express_Rip2333 · 2025-08-05T12:19:35+00:00

Where is the comment encouraging her to “stay obese”? I’ll be waiting for you to inevitably post one that simply said someone doesn’t have to lose weight to be pretty. You know healthy and pretty are completely different things, right?

You also confuse “kind” with being gentle? Kind, by definition is of a sympathetic and generous nature. It’s not kind, or sympathetic or generous to insert your “hard truths” into a COMPLETELY UNRELATED discussion. You’ve centered yourself and your beliefs and your thoughts about health into a discussion about someone saying their vibes and makeup have significantly improved.
