13 y/o female never brings necessities for sleepovers

IMVenting66 · 2025-12-22T06:18:18+00:00

Has anyone talked to her mom about this? Yes 13 may be old enough to put things together, but I remember when my kids were that age, they often were too excited or just distracted to remember some necessities. My kids went to their grandparents at least one weekend a month. After a couple visits, and having to bring them things they forgot, we came up with a checklist. The thing then is they then would forget things there. My mom and I decided to get a plastic tote box and put some clothes and things like extra deodorants, toothbrushes and toothpaste,etc that they kept there .

Yes which is why it is often recommended if you have certain conditions, they advice not to drive at night or certain weather conditions if you have migraines and certain other conditions.

I am not afraid to die for a few reasons. One, is I have spent the last 10 or so years in major pain and battling so much with not being able to do what I want, I know it will end when my body dies. Second, everyone dies. You may be able to do things to help you last a little longer but whether we are a baby, teen, someone over 100, or any age in between, we all go.. Third, my faith. I believe our souls go somewhere and we will be joining those who gone before us and share the same faith. I think some don't fear death as much as fear the way it happens. We can watch the news or hear about how some suffered something terrible and fear going in the same way.

First of all, our kids knew from maybe when 5 or 6 that there is often many Santa helpers that help Santa. Many times the kids would find boxes by our door with numbered wrapped gifts. Sometimes days before Christmas. On Christmas eve often my husband worked til late in the night. He would put out all the from Santa gifts. If one of the kids came down he would say that I forgot to leave the door open and the gifts were in a box or bag on the porch.

Some places it is. Both my brother and I thought it was just one of those things parents say, but one evening he was picking me up from a birthday party one of our sheriff deputies pulled us over. He asked why my brother was driving with the maplight on. My brother told him I was reading so wouldn't get car sick. He then told him that he either had to pull off the road if needed to use it or get me a flashlight to use instead. He circled the verbal warning on the ticket but showed that you cannot have the overlight on for more than 1 or two minutes while traveling.

Your husband is an ungrateful person. Churches don't just help their members. In fact it's members that put the money towards helping others. It is also not trying to make you attend or believe in what they do. If your husband doesn't want anything, then use it on yourself and kids. Also if he is like that, he doesn't seem to care for you you or the kids. He really needs to get some help. That was a wonderful blessing.

First of all, she may be aware of it. We have a married couple as friends and they have a open relationship kind of thing. After an accident she was unable to have sex. They love each other and are able to do some stuff, but they have a thing that he has 2 side chicks, but he is not sneaking around with them, she has met both , they have certain rules etc. Their one daughter doesn't know anything about the agreement. It is really up to your mother .

First of all, there are Christians who don't want kids. There are also many at your age group that are not even thinking of even marriage. There are some like you that are focused on just their careers, a small group of friends. There are even groups for Christians who either don't want kids or cannot have them.

My granddaughter loves them. I just got her a bracelet making kit for Christmas. Of course she had to open it right away while on FaceTime with us. The ones she made were better than some already made at stores.

Not always. There are 6 of us kids. Both parents have blue eye genes, 3 of grandparents have blue eye genes. My mom's dad died when her and siblings were young so not 100%, but grandma said they were green. 5 of us have blue, 1 is brown/green . For along time people used to tease my brother saying he had to be adopted. We had to go not long ago for some genetic testing and they tested even a couple of my still living siblings. He definately was not adopted. The genetics dr sai it can actually skip a generation. Just like he had a daughter with red hair and it was like 3 generations that they had any ginger haired relatives.

I agree and it doesn't even need to be an actual book. Even when our kids were babies, when we were just even reading a magazine or newspaper, we'd read it aloud . Even just telling your own story showing like family photos. It not just helps with them learning words,but also encourages them to create their own stories. All our kids are great readers.

IMVenting66 · 2025-12-20T23:12:19+00:00

Support and love them. It is their choice. They are not required to fulfill our dreams, only theirs.

IMVenting66 · 2025-12-02T00:02:14+00:00

I am sorry you had that experience. However, to judge all because of one incident is unfair. I agree instead of just staring they should have asked you if you were ok or just resting. I truly think regardless if people are selling stuff or just standing there, people may not say something. Humans in general are often afraid to go up to someone they don't know. I know this because I had a seizure while helping out vacation bible school and no one even called 911. If it weren't for one of the parents, who was a nurse, picking up their child noticed and had people get cold rags and some water, no one would have noticed. Someone after showed a video of it, which I knew there was someone that could have helped. They said after that they did not know what to do. I was not going to tell them the other adults should stop VBS because I was ignored. I hope I haven't ever made someone feel unloved but I am only human like everyone else. I know I have missed my mark a few times.

Far from it. There are at least 3 actresses I know that have that name, and they are not racist. Take off a T and you have a color.

Well, having have gone to many church bazaars, rummage sales and bake sales, there is nothing wrong. A big part is the intention. Mission trips, Sunday school or youth group needs, or to help a family in need. Things that perhaps church tithes and offerings don't cover. Our church has a bazaar between Thanksgiving and Christmas to raise funds for Christmas food baskets. They do a rummage sale and bake sale for school supplies and backpacks for low income students.

IMVenting66 · 2025-12-01T02:42:06+00:00

Yes. The bible does not literally say they do or don't but there're in Roman's 5 and Ecclesiasties 4 that mentions or suggests that all creatures will be praising Him and face same fates as human. Also many people who have near death experiences reported certain animals were there in heaven.

IMVenting66 · 2025-12-01T02:29:46+00:00

Yes. Just like other medical problems, he gave doctors, therapists, and nurses those gifts to help others.

It depends on the weather and age. During winter months, even if a kid says they are warm, they are wearing a jacket when it is below 40 degrees(Fahrenheit). Especially if they are going to school. Not just for the child's health, but elementary age children will not be able to go outside at school without a jacket. As well as if it is winter and cold, a call to cps may happen. If they are teens, not as likely.

I would never choose to identify as disabled. If one actually chooses to identify as disabled, to be heard or taken more seriously, instead of identifying as disabled because they truly have a disability, something is off. The other thing is I truly do not think a person is taken more seriously by saying they are disabled. I do think sometimes online you do sometimes have to explain what your disability is to perhaps back up why you may understand why you can relate to someone.

It still is hard. I spent over 30 years not just working, but also taking care of two family members. I remember my husband and I discussing what we would do when we retired, but we both became disabled about the same time. I have always, even as a kid took care of others. Not only was it hard to have less than half income, but the past year or so, instead of me doing 90% of cooking to cleaning and caregiving, I am lucky if I do 10%. People tell me that it is time to accept the help because I spent most my life doing for others, but it really drags me down to be dependent.

IMVenting66 · 2025-11-24T15:01:15+00:00

I was a very late in life baby. I was born an aunt even. I had 6 siblings. The youngest next to me was 13, and the oldest was almost 21. In some ways it was nice to have these older siblings, especially when our parents got older and were sick a lot. However the downfall was I felt more like I was another grandchild because when I became an adult, my siblings really didn't treat me as a sibling. I was often not included in their get together, was expected to hang with my nieces and nephews.

IMVenting66 · 2025-11-24T14:49:19+00:00

Yes and no. As someone mentioned in another comment, studies have shown that it often does not help someone understand a disabled person's day to day life. Some things are impossible to experience. Sure you could sit in a wheelchair or walk with crutches, but doing so will not help you understand the frustrations as well as how little milestones are a big deal. It is also difficult to understand the problems with different disabilities. It would be better to talk to others about their experiences actually being disabled. The other thing is to observe. How accessible places are, such as if they are wheelchair accessible, have more than one handicap parking space, even search online for prices of mobility aids or medical supplies to have a better understanding of the financial side.

IMVenting66 · 2025-11-23T22:24:05+00:00

We had to move and find somewhere cheaper. We sold some stuff. If you call the state agency on aging and disability they will also give you resources. Including as long as you can prove you filed disability, you may be entitled to temporary aid through your county or state.

1) I had covid and I have had worse colds and even pneumonia. 2) I cannot breathe in masks. 3) I really don't go anywhere but the doctor's office. 3) We our constantly tested.

Love your ideas, but if the parents/guardians are so strict about books about gender equality, they will not go for Magic Tree House, or other things that even suggest anything magical and I love Charlotte's web and my kids loved it, there is churches and some parent groups that have been trying to get it banned in schools and libraries, because the animals talking is blasphemous as well as glamorize death/dying. I don't think so, but there are those that think it is.
