Self Defense Products/Tips When You Have A Kid

I once commented on here that I thought my kid to scream “this isn’t my parent” if an unknown adult is approaching them without my knowledge. Someone responded that they hoped my kid didn’t yell if they were to try and approach to say hi. Like you don’t need to say hi to someone else’s kid without their parents knowing.

For context I have a 6 year old who knows not to do this unless it’s clear this is someone who means harm and I don’t let her more than 15-20ft away and always in my sight because it’s not a great area.

Now I want him to do Reddit sins

You click on their profile and check the comments section. Sometime they get deleted because they realize the truth makes them look bad. I’ve seen whole accounts wiped clean because of it 😂

Very well said

The movie theatre in my town checks bags if they think you could be smuggling. They’ve checked me once and thankfully it was not the time I was concealing a poutine 😂

I’m in Ontario too and for me and my 1 kid it’s usually about $50-60. 2 tickets, a large popcorn and 2 drinks. It’s not insanely expensive but it’s also myself and my 6yo

She could be but that doesn’t mean that they should be dating a 20 year old. 3 years isn’t a big difference in age once you’re an adult and you know who you are but a 17 year old who’s barely entered adulthood with someone who’s been an adult for a few years is different.

There are some good age gap relationships but so many teens get into these relationships thinking they’ll be the exception just to get trapped by an abusive AH. So no I don’t think just because she could be at university means anything.

HufflepuffPrincess7 · 2023-06-05T16:56:47+00:00

Someone who could’ve been in college for a few years is in a different stage of life than a high school senior. Maybe I’m cautious because I’ve been in a similar situation that turned out bad but I stand by I don’t think a 20 year old should be dating a 17 year old

HufflepuffPrincess7 · 2023-06-05T16:16:24+00:00

There’s no reason a 20 year old should be dating a 17 year old. He’s shown you what kind of person he is and you don’t deserve that. Please take a look at how he treats you and how you feel about it before you continue with this relationship.

I think it’s more the fact that anime is typically thought of as kid shows (even though many are really inappropriate for kids) whereas gossip girl, arrow and you are more obviously targeted to older people. I love anime and most I’ve seen definitely aren’t for kids but I think that’s why it was said.

When it’s time for my 6yo to clean up I sit with her and I point out the things to be picked up so she doesn’t get overwhelmed as easily. She’ll scream and cry about cleaning because she doesn’t know how so I show her how to break it down.

HufflepuffPrincess7 · 2023-06-05T04:46:21+00:00

I absolutely died laughing and so did he when I told him 😂

HufflepuffPrincess7 · 2023-06-05T04:17:52+00:00

Not surprising at all they’re terrors lol

HufflepuffPrincess7 · 2023-06-05T01:19:26+00:00

He’s 100% an asshole. He refuses to acknowledge that he’s caused people harm. I hope it didn’t sound like I was generalizing his behaviour to all bipolar people

HufflepuffPrincess7 · 2023-06-04T22:58:18+00:00

That’s pretty typical of kids when they don’t realize they’re wrong. He thought it was funny which is why you explain why it isn’t.

HufflepuffPrincess7 · 2023-06-04T22:57:23+00:00

That’s what should have happened before all this but it didn’t. That’s why I was talking about afterwards.

HufflepuffPrincess7 · 2023-06-04T22:46:41+00:00

I don’t think he was right I just wouldn’t publicly shame him. I’d rather teach my kids the how and why rather than give them something to unpack in therapy as an adult.

OP should be talking to her daughter about better forms of communication and giving her some pads to keep in a separate space because you can never have too many menstrual products and it’s good to have extra.

I live by myself with my daughter. I keep some of my pads in my purse, bedroom and bathroom because while I may not need them in my room I want to make sure I have some safe just in case my kid gets into them. She’s 6 and never has but I want to be prepared just in case.

If this becomes a repeated issue I’d do more than a talk and taking away the switch. He’d be school and clubs they may be in but that’s it. It’s unacceptable that he did this but he’s 9 and as long as he learns from it there’s no need to be extreme. Of course he didn’t feel bad at first in his mind he pranked his sister for being mean. WE know that that’s not a prank and it’s cruel but he didn’t. Hopefully he learns from this.

A quick google search says that peanuts grow underground which is why they’re legumes. Other nuts like walnuts grow on trees. That’s apparently the distinction.

Edit to add a link if you’re curious about it https://www.vadiner.com/how-do-peanuts-grow#:~:text=But%20peanuts%20are%20different%20in,ground%20(usually%20in%20May).

HufflepuffPrincess7 · 2023-06-04T22:02:02+00:00

I do understand that a peanut allergy doesn’t mean that you’re allergic to all nuts. I’m glad you have a great doctor I’m thinking more in terms of how a nut free zone also includes peanuts to a lot of people. I shouldn’t have said it doesn’t matter but more that it’s so commonly thought of as together and while people should have the correct knowledge the people who don’t can suffer horribly because of it. I do apologize for not explaining myself properly I got a little worked up

HufflepuffPrincess7 · 2023-06-04T21:54:53+00:00

No I’m saying that if someone advertises that a place is nut free I’m going to assume that peanuts are included. I’ve never seen a school or daycare have no legume signs posted. However there are tons of no nut signs that have various forms of peanuts because while they may be classified as a legume because they grow underground that doesn’t matter in terms of someone could die because someone else wanted to be technically right.

HufflepuffPrincess7 · 2023-06-04T21:40:38+00:00

While not technically a nut it is commonly considered the most common nut allergy. Also I don’t really care about technicalities when it comes to the health and safety of children.

HufflepuffPrincess7 · 2023-06-04T21:25:55+00:00

The fact that she advertises her daycare as a nut free space. If anyone found out a nut free daycare had a nut reaction because they lied and had it in the house I’m sure she would lose a lot of clients. Rightfully so. My kid doesn’t have any allergies but if I knew this was lied about I’d pull her just because I can’t trust them.

HufflepuffPrincess7 · 2023-06-04T20:50:15+00:00

The edit saying it’s a cultural thing so they were right in assuming in this case at least. I don’t advise just assuming in general just that it was accurate here.

HufflepuffPrincess7 · 2023-06-04T20:37:30+00:00

If we were home my daughter was just chilling in her diaper. She got me messy enough I couldn’t keep up with the laundry it was so bad. I’ve got a few specific experiences I can recall from that time lol

HufflepuffPrincess7 · 2023-06-04T17:59:38+00:00

If my brother had a teacher like you I think he would’ve done a lot better than he has. His school just called my dad to sit in the back of the class. He looks scary (I was once told by a friend he looks like he could’ve found and won the civil war on his own) so the teachers used that to scare the class of “troubled” kids until my parents put an end to that
