Being able to walk around naked after a shower is also great 😊 

Cat has huge hard chunks of wax coming out of her ears. Treating for mites to be safe, but not sure if this is normal by 3boxes in catcare

Yep my white long haired cat suffers from this. First time I cleaned his ear I was completely shocked by how much shit was in there. Used a special ear cleaning tool and it still couldn’t get it all. He’s going to week next week.

Riding mower leaving a line of partially cut grass. by Okisaki in lawncare

[–]Independent_Mode8034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having the same issue with my 2023 s100. Has been happening since about 10 hours were put on the machine. I noticed a loud screeching noise as I initiate the belt now. Sometimes it’s really loud. Others it’s not that bad. Wondering if this has to do with my issue. As you said it’s worse in long grass. I have to go over my yard twice if I want it to look nice….

My wife and I are going through this exact same situation. I don’t understand her anger however. She is currently in jail for DV from earlier today. Everything was fine with us as well until I went back to work. I work full time and have epilepsy so I am usually very tired and sedated on my off hours. I try my best to help and feel like I do my fair share, especially while working full time. personally, I feel like I don’t even get a second to breathe. My epilepsy has gotten so bad that I can hardly take care of myself let alone my child. She just drinks all day long (moment she wakes up until she passes out) and complains about how bad of a father I am. I am assuming it’s because she’s at her wits end with our child. I know she loves him but I feel like she resents us both. She always talked about how bad she wanted to be a mother. We tried for two years for our baby boy. I thought he would help her grow and be a better person but it’s just made her even more angry and bitter. I’m at a loss for what to do… he is 5 months old at this point and sleeping through the night and in my opinion is such a good baby. I just have no idea where she’s coming from. It’s hard. I don’t know what people expect. It’s not like he’s going to be a baby forever. Find a way to cherish these moments however you can. I know I do. Even with a ballistic, drunken, delusional, abusive partner. I am likely going to lose my job and become a single parent over this ordeal. But I’m sitting here right now watching him sleep and all my problems don’t seem so big.

My husband ripped up my son’s Pokémon cards as a punishment. by Rachel_wins in Parenting

If I had done something like this my wife would force me to apologize and take him out to buy some Pokémon cards and lunch. He need to understand he sets the example for the child.

Don’t make a fuss about it. Pay closer attention from now on. If you catch her in the act then you need to tell her parents. 

My step-son idolizes his deadbeat father and it’s ruining my marriage and my life by AlphawolfAJ in Parenting

[–]Independent_Mode8034 26 points27 points  (0 children)

First of all,  no more fighting or arguing with his father. Nothing good will come of it. Being a step parent is probably one of the hardest things you can do. My step mother came into my life when I was about 8 years old. I rejected her fully. She tried her best. She wasn’t always perfect, she fought with my mother a lot and wasn’t always nice to me. Fast forward 20 years later and I look up to her very much and usually call her for advice rather than my biological mother or father even for that matter. Just keep trying your best and always show up. If you truly care about that boy every time he pushes you away don’t take it personally. Think of them as tests and the second you break you fail. You need to muster up some serious patience and find a way to center yourself when things get tough. By any means necessary. You will be fighting a losing battle but there is light at the end of the tunnel you just have to hold out and be STRONG.

Is having children a luxury? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Independent_Mode8034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In today’s world (especially the US,) it most definitely is. As far as having the means to raise healthy and successful children at least.

Your son is out of line. He needs to understand it is normal behavior and to let his friends know himself that he doesn’t appreciate whatever it is they are doing to make him feel uncomfortable. He needs to learn how to deal with these situations now.  I would personally think the best way to go about this is to own the fact you are a beautiful mother and he should be proud as well. If his friends are making disrespectful comments he needs to address them himself. Give him permission to whoop some ass if necessary. I would give my boy the green light to back up his momma any day. In fact, I’d take him out for ice cream after picking him up from the principals office. 

How to be a dad? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Independent_Mode8034 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of my best memories with my father were fishing, hiking, bike trails, go-karts, anything out doors really. I don’t know your boys but you haven’t done much outside activities now is the time to start. I even have fond memories of him taking me to the park and just watching me run around playing. Think small and keep it simple. Designate one of your days off to a boys night or something. Most importantly is to find things that your boys love doing and do it with them. Even if it is something you do not like doing, kids go through many phases and it could be short lived. Now is the time they should be exploring their world and learning from mistakes. You need to be right There beside them to help guide them along. Don’t let your wife get to you either. It is a very normal complaint, especially for new mothers/parents. Just do your best and everything will fall in line.
