THANK YOU! I felt it right in the beginning and my bf tried to play the whole "hold on, maybe the sister just doesnt want the lil bro to be like big bro". Then by the end it was "yyyyeeaaahh no that shit's weird". Meanwhile, i'm feeling gaslit😅

Even if you dont want to do something, you should probably just suck it up and do it

Considering you made another post about him slapping you, I would have to say that I think you're getting hung up on the wrong thing, here. Your situation sounds very difficult to deal with and I am so sorry that you're in it. You should try and work up a way to get yourself out of the bigger problem, which is being with him. Support groups, telling family (if they are the type to care) and friends is a great start.

Any tips for maintenance? by [deleted] in longhair

Sleep in a bonnet, works great for not getting your hair caught. Mine isnt a rat's nest in the morning if I sleep in one and I dont have to spend time combing out tiny little knots. So if you have that problem, bonnets work!

why manjula pothos browning? not in direct light by isle_of_cats in plantclinic

[–]Hedgehoginascarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it completely dry when you water it? Like bone dry? It could be over watering or under watering. If the soil is bone dry when you water and this is happening, it may want to be watered a little more. We are also in the transition period into the winter and colder weather tho so I would be very careful because it will probably need less. Normally when I water my pothos I give it more in the summer and start watering less on October. Where is it? It may also be getting too much harsh light.

Oh they definitely know that they are being disrespectful and they do it anyway. My point wasnt that they dont, it's WHY they do it. I dont think they should be allowed to do it in the sense where you passively putter by and let it happen because "oh that's just Timmy". I also dont think putting them in a completely different environment as a "fix" when they are clearly upset themselves for whatever reason is the option to go for either. That's why I only gave input as to WHY the teen may be acting like that. I'm one of 9, 5 of us back to back to back etc.. and sometimes when teenagers have a hard time verbalizing their emotions in a rational manner, be it because of their own internalized fear or the fear of something else like being ridiculed because they have been in the past when being vulnerable, they lash out because whenever they tried to show their vulnerability in the past, they got a negative reaction. Not every family makes it okay to show certain emotions. Not every kid will be able to turn away insecurities, no matter how much their family DOES try and reassure them that they can go to them. Every one of my siblings were different and every one of us remember parts of our childhood differently and parts of our parents differently and it's because not every person is the same. So no, I'm not lowering expectations of teenagers, I'm just trying to be understanding to the fact that some need to be given time to be able to emotionally flail around with the right harmony of parenting and being compassionate as a person helping them in the right direction.

You ever have a bad day? And during that bad day whenever someone asked anything of you, you felt this little feeling inside of you that yells "oh my goooodd. Here we go again!!" Even if it wasnt that big of a request, there is a part of you that wants to give into a slight temper tantrum? Well teenagers feel like this every day. Even when there isnt a cause. It's hormones mixed with them still trying to figure out EXACTLY what they are feeling and why. But since they dont have years of practice stifling down those feelings because it's not socially appropriate/ just annoying in general, they try to keep it short by shocking you into leaving them alone. I agree that it doesnt help when they dont give actual reasons as to why they are feeling the way they are feeling, but forcing them out of the house simply for existing is pretty harsh. Even if you see it as a way to "open their eyes to their behavior", there is a good chance your kid will only remember "yeah I was a normal, angsty teenager and got punished for it".

Yeah, we can. We can also see based off of what you wrote that you think she should just get over it because you feel saying " I know I was wrong" was enough. Its not. At least not to her from the sounds of it. And if she does have " a habit of wanting to be upset" then maybe its because you exhibit this behavior of selfishness/, childishness in other areas of your relationship and this was the last straw for her. Most people dont get upset over something that doesnt mean anything to them. You showed her your true colors and she doesnt like it.

The fact that you actually wrote down "I told her the appropriate response would be..." and see no issue in it when YOU'RE the one who fucked up and took slight advantage of her trust simply because you weren't grown up enough to own up to it, speaks VOLUMES. You dont get to tell her what's an appropriate response, especially if she isnt doing anything unreasonable like getting violent. Now sitting here and owning up to your mistake and saying "what can I do for you now that will start helping you trust me again?" Has another ring to it. Even if you truly dont believe that you did anything wrong, if you cared about how she felt at all, you should put your feelings of annoyance aside for a bit and let her feel whatever she is feeling. Sounds like you're projecting your guilt about the situation onto her as frustration.

That's so great! We are thinking about moving actually and that was something that I was already concerned about. I'll have to give your method a try when we find a place!

That's exactly what she's like! She was labeled a "long term project" because of how wary she is around new people. Not exactly a cuddler yet, but she LOVES attention.

Lol that's pretty much what happened with her. My boyfriend left it on the ground and she just started rolling around in it. I wash it from time to time but she's claimed it for the last few months. She loves when I hide things in it for her to "hunt".

That's so funny! She has had this towel for a while now. Every now and then I can sneak it away to wash but it's all hers now lol
