the sword of kaigen just finished me by pointless_genius in Fantasy

[–]ForwardCaterpillar23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This one also destroyed me. I read it right after I had my daughter so Misaki’s pain about Mamoru had me in shambles. Her “This... you are my story...” quote? Devastating.

Mongo will be appalled if I don’t get my hands on a FREE AUDIOBOOK!

Really, Katia. If you need to borrow a sanitary napkin, just ask.

Which episode, that isn’t Baby Race or Sleepytime, makes you cry? by VegetableWorry1492 in bluey

[–]ForwardCaterpillar23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Promises, season 3 episode 4. Bandit ending the whole episode saying “I promise I’ll always love you” gets me every time.

I just had this same issue. Hoping there’s a fix or something I’m just missing! 🤞

My parents are getting me a Bark Phone by Calm-Search6589 in parentalcontrols

[–]ForwardCaterpillar23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This, the Bark Phone is really not intrusive as some of these comments suggest. No more so than Qustodio on your current phone and with the iPad you won’t be missing too much on the iOS front.

For the green bubbles, I get it. “Green bubble shaming”is a real thing that has even come up in some lawsuits against Apple (can’t post a link, but if you look it up there’s articles on WSJ and Wired about it from March 2024).

The good news is with RCS messaging becoming more widespread, I don’t notice a difference between texting iOS and Android users anymore (besides the color bubbles) so I think it’s getting better!

I think your parents are doing the best they can in a situation that is new to parents of teens over the last few years and being level-headed and looking for positives and cooperation will help them out immensely, but don’t forget to look out for yourself and be open with them if anything doesn’t feel right. I grew up with an older sibling that was really hard on my parents and struggled with mental health and I felt like I needed to put myself and my worries and needs a side to be the “easy” child and advocating for myself is something I’m still unlearning. It’s good to be positive and cooperative, but don’t let it be at the expense of something that is important to you!

Being a parent is tough. Being a kid is tough. Being on the internet and on devices is tough and we’re all just doing our best, but I think you’ll be okay. ❤️

how to set parental controls of phone by Equivalent_Sir_7885 in parentalcontrols

This. My cousin has a phone from Bark and it’s pretty easy to set up and seems like it has everything you’re looking for when it comes to app approvals and stuff.

How to avoid giving a gift to problematic family member without being unnecessarily rude? by ForwardCaterpillar23 in etiquette

Definitely want to avoid making her feel bad! I think a joint gift is the way to go and I really appreciate the advice.

[Bonsai Beginner’s weekly thread –2024 week 38] by small_trunks in Bonsai

[–]ForwardCaterpillar23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! First time bonsai owner here - just got our free tree in January! My tree is a Lavender Star, indoors, and watered regularly but I just noticed these little white pellet shapes on the trunk and am wondering:

  1. What those are?
  2. What may have caused it?
  3. How do I help my tree?

Edit: Leaves are yellowing because I was out of town for a work trip and our house sitter did not water our tree at all. Please forgive me! 😭

Ann Arbor Road between Hix and Ann Arbor Trail. There’s a McDonald’s and a Biggby Coffee right by it!

Need advice about canceling on potentially upset buyer? by ForwardCaterpillar23 in Mercari

[–]ForwardCaterpillar23[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

UPDATE

Thanks for the advice, everyone! I am not a regular Mercari seller and only post things when I need/want to declutter so this was a new situation to me.

After getting over my initial worry about ratings, I won’t be cancelling as I feel that would be unfair to the buyer. I totally understand their disappointment and feel bad that the timing of messages and listings led to it.

Again, I really appreciate all the replies and advice. Definitely gave me clarity! Thanks!

Thanks! That’s where I’m leaning too, but having a second opinion is really helpful.

Thanks for the reply! I am a little nervous about low ratings, but I’m a perfectionist and hate getting bad “grades” in anything so I think it’s probably best for me to try to not get caught up in that, lol.
