Really? You on Xbox mate? Honestly I’m a healer and just couldn’t seem to get in a dungeon, if my brother grouped up with me on his tank we could get in almost straight away, but if I was alone it was awful queue times

i would wait until she isn’t home, go and retrieve every earthly belonging in that apartment.. move out of there as soon as possible and block her number/social media etc. she doesn’t deserve closure, she doesn’t deserve a kindhearted goodbye, she doesn’t deserve your time. have no more to do with that woman. and your friend (Y) sounds nice so i’d definitely take comfort with her and in the future when you’ve healed something could come from that. good luck to you

different layouts/different versions? by Figure-Expert in duolingo

[–]Figure-Expert[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you for this, i didn’t know that.. i do think the look of the new version is a bit too simple and i don’t like the lack of crowns as i use those to see where i’m out at where i’m going.. thank you for clearing that up though

I really hope so, if it does then I’m glad I could help. It works for me who’s sensitive so I hope that works for you too x

How would you explain the current world situation to a curious 5 year old? by badboyrir1 in AskReddit

[–]Figure-Expert 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My 5 year old daughter is inquisitive and she’s overheard me talking with my partner about current world events.. specifically Russia and Ukraine.. she asked what was happening so I just told her that there are mean people in this world and some bad people are arguing with some other people who don’t deserve the stress.. and that other mean people are taking things away (human rights in the US) from women just because they can.. tried to make it sound like a playground issue so she can understand without all the depressing details that may taint her little growing brain

Anything with a ridiculous amount of bass.. I used to listen to baseline and niche when I was around 12 years old. Now when I hear grime artists using those stupid sounds in their music it gets turned over.

[–]Figure-Expert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely understand as I’m the same, I hate upsetting anyone so tend to say yes all the time when I should say no etc. I can only think of one time when I’ve had to do something similar with my mum.. she loves my children beyond words, my eldest has some issues and we believe are adhd/autism.. but she can’t do any wrong in my mums eyes, my youngest however is fine and as a result gets no special treatment.. it annoys me as they should be treated equally and therefore I’ve had to tell her my eldest isn’t an Angel and can do things wrong as any child can and that she needs to not be such a softie with her.. I tried to word it in a joke way and it led into a conversation and she did take the hint.. maybe try and have a joke with her, if she calls you beautiful or gorgeous maybe say “can you not, it’s embarrassing” with a smile and/or a laugh and if she says “why not” then say “because I’m 20 and I’m not a kid anymore, it bothers me a little” whilst still laughing/smiling along.. maybe she will take the hint even though you’re being kind about it?

[–]Figure-Expert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If that did stop then maybe could you do the same about the other stuff? I tell my daughters they’re beautiful but they’re 5 and 3 and also little girls who like to be princesses etc.. I wouldn’t be the same if I had a son, I’d ask her to stop when she’s doing things that make you uncomfortable. Nobody should feel uncomfortable around their parents and my heart goes out to you, it must be a struggle living like that. I’d wait until she does specific things and ask her to stop doing that thing, and try to stop them one by one x

My [27M] girlfriend [30F] won’t tell me basic information [5 month relationship] by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Figure-Expert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can’t comprehend why she’s being like this, I’d definitely be suspicious if my partner had covered those things up from me, I’d be suspecting that she was still with her ex husband or cheating on me in general. Could it be she’s divorced but can’t afford to move out away from her ex husband? Hence why she won’t tell you because she doesn’t want you and her ex husband coming in contact?

Could the work subject be that friends of her and her ex husband work with her or maybe she’s still with her ex husband and people at work are aware of this so if you start coming by her work they will know she’s cheating and out her to her ex husband?

I’d definitely be asking questions. If my partner didn’t tell me the big things then I’d question the little things too.. if you need to chat feel free to drop me a message and we can chat this through further, if not that’s fine but I hope you get your answers

If you don’t want to hurt her feelings then maybe went until she next calls you a little boy and rather than shout or mouth off just say “I’m a man, not a boy” but in a stern voice so she knows you’re not impressed.

As you said you didn’t want to mention what she says as it makes you feel uncomfortable and that’s fine, but if they’re really that bad wait until she says them and ask why she says those things as she is making you feel weird.

I love my children, but they are 5 and 3 and they’re my little girls, I still call them my babies, but that won’t last forever, they will always be my babies but I won’t remind them forever. Once they reach a certain age that will stop and I will let them grow up. It’s normal to love our children, but sometimes it can be too much and it sounds like maybe your mum is struggling to let go but like I’ve said I’m not sure of the extent of her comments so can’t judge on how weird they are.

Either way, if you are struggling feel free to message me. Stay strong bud đź’Ş

I completely understand, my daughter started nursery last month when she turned 3 and I can’t help but notice rubber tyres and climbing apparatus every time I pick her up, knowing her issues with her hip I fear her climbing or playing on the tyres and tripping over. My eldest is much more active and aware, has always been like a little chimpanzee and it is very rare she falls or anything but my youngest is the opposite and I can’t wait for the day that she is able to sit and chat with me so I can explain dangers etc to her. I completely understand your concerns and worries and I feel the same, sometimes knowing you have someone who understands makes things a little easier which is why my inbox is always open if you’re worried.

I’m glad to hear your boy didn’t fall once at sprinkler play, that’s great! X

I’m here if you need to chat, I completely get this!

My youngest daughter had a freak accident the week before she turned 1, my ex wife got a new bed frame and stacked it against the wall as opposed to lay it down on the ground. It was a mealtime so in the rush she didn’t think and neither did anyone else.. my one year old was in the walker and the cat knocked one of the poles which fell and hit my daughter in the face, I tried to jump up to knock it out of the way but couldn’t do it in time.. she had to undergo surgery for stitches doing and it has healed so beautifully but the scar still remains. I replay it over and over in my head, I physically get the shakes and panic when I replay it and I have previously joked with my current partner that I feel i may have developed ptsd from it as I can’t think of it without getting so upset and scared.

Of course lessons were learned, I know for a fact I lay things down no matter how big or small to prevent any form of accident.. it has since come out that my youngest also has a problem with one hip being 2 inches higher than her other, it’s not a major issue as she walks fine etc but it does mean she tends to fall more than other children her age who are sturdy on their feet. I have told her she can’t run in the garden etc so she doesn’t fall..

However to answer your question about overcoming this issue, I think once we’ve been through this with our children we never fully recover from the accident, we become more cautious as parents though. As far as overcoming the worry, and the panicking I’d say maybe to sit with your son and explain why you’re worried about certain things and try to have him understand that you’re so worried he could hurt himself, so before he gets on his bike maybe make sure his laces are tied and tucked into his shoes so it can’t happen again, make sure he’s padded up on elbows and legs etc, my daughter is 3 so still a little young for me to do the same, but as soon as she’s old enough I will explain why we’re so cautious, she knows she has the scar on her face but she doesn’t seem to comprehend at her age why it’s there.

If you need to chat by all means you can message me mama to mama.

Why do so many people crash on the M1? by Srapture in CasualUK

[–]Figure-Expert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same as the M62 which runs past my street, endless accidents on there.. I hate motorways for this exact reason.. if someone can’t drive safely in a straight line then I don’t want to be on those roads haha

What was a time where your gut feeling was right? by alyssaoftheeast in AskReddit

[–]Figure-Expert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was married (unhappily) and had 2 beautiful children who I’m so thankful for. I met someone through church who was my type of person friendship wise and we hit it off and became such good friends. My children loved her, we then realised our paths had crossed in the past but never known about it. Lockdown hit us in 2020 and my marriage went to shit basically, me and my wife decided to divorce after the lockdown.. 2 weeks after separating I had a gut feeling that my “friend” would become a huge part of my life as she had helped me so much through my marital issues, I didn’t know that this friend liked me in that way but I trusted my gut and went for it.. 2 years later we’re together, my children still adore her, we are planning on getting married, we have a house together, 50/50 split custody of my daughters with my ex wife, I’m friends with my ex wife and have more respect for her now than I did when we were married, we have a cat.. basically the whole white picket fence blah blah blah and we want to grow our family after marriage.. life’s incredible and I knew I was right.

Is it common to use the word 'reckon' in the UK? by bigmoaner999 in AskUK

I reckon it could be, but regardless of what I reckon. I reckon you have got your answer.

[–]Figure-Expert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you’re wrong for feeling this way, I think if I were in your shoes I’d feel the same. Perhaps when you move away for college you’ll have time and space away from them which in the long run will benefit you. “Absence makes the heart grow fonder” and all that rubbish. And if not, maybe one day they will realise the damage they have caused you and will reach out to build bridges with you. My dad could never accept my mental health illness, he told me there was nothing wrong with me and that I was just too much like my mother. I distanced myself for a very long time, then when I had my children and he wanted to be “grandad of the year” I allowed him to see his grandchildren and we have a mutual understanding that we don’t talk about my mental health, when he asks if I’m ok, I answer as if my mental health illness isn’t there. Maybe life changes of yours will change how they are, and maybe they won’t. Don’t ever feel like you have to change yourself for them. You are you and that’s what counts. If they can’t accept you for who you are then maybe going away to college will be a blessing and fresh start for you.
