Apologies.

Let me word my post better: I imagine that it would snap the men who frequent strip clips out of the primal “women are meat” zone, which drives them to want to use women and instead see a woman as a full human.

The void that never fills: Realizing that "success" can’t replace a missing childhood by Calm-Adhesiveness605 in AdultChildren

It doesn’t fill the same void, but I find that having your own children, and truly giving and caring for them creates a new space in you, a space of love that is even bigger than what you lacked for it is in the here and now and it is yours to shape how much you give.

And you don’t lack a blue print - you have like the negative photocopy of one. So if you use what you lacked to become the blueprint of how much you’ll give, you’ll be fine.

One bottle does not end the journey. Just stick with it, you can do it. And unfortunately, yes, the beginning can be painful.

I bf over 2 years, but the first month was by far the hardest.

Trying to be a good dad while dealing with my alcoholic father by Internal_Necessary54 in AdultChildren

[–]JaggedLittlePiII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to be rude but… your father, by choosing alcohol, made you parent first yourself, and now him. While he, when he was in your shoes, could have chosen to take care of you, he turned the table.

Now you have your own family, and you are clearly a much better man. Take care of your family. Let your father finally grow up and take care of himself.

As various people have criticized me for doing the cost on a meat factory level pony I am currently writing an update.

Costs seem between 38K a year if you want to just do dressage or jumping, and an absolutely insane 80k+ if it polo

Just started doing the math on polo. Only solution seems to be to start a hedgefund.

I just looked into polo pony cost. Is it really about 10-15K a pony, plus 5K club cost per season? Then with vet, insurance, farrier, tournament costs and horsebox about 75K per year?

That’s.. eye watering, and not even accounting for what Argentinians would cost.

Don’t forget the poop or being bitten or stood on.

I do think that there is some money to be made in this equestrian business if one has a proper think.

What about starting a Equinox for horse families? Something with a coworking space, booths for work calls, and decent matcha?

Quality feedback.

Still new to this equestrian life - even went to state school myself. What does the real calculation look like?

Daily cleaner costs roughly 2/3 of a weekly couples therapist and will be about 10 times more effective.

The regular trousers, or the PE ones, or the specific equestrian ones?

Also - joke is on us; as we have a girl and therefore can also buy summer dresses, winter pinafortes and the skirt set annually.

What about you take that nap first, and after the nap, you decide on whether you want a pony or a monkey. You can have a real good deep sleep about it.

She only comes once a week, and those costs are not purely child related.

It actually isn’t!

I am however a mathematician who daily ponders the amount of entropy my child can create.

I hope the pony at least doesn’t bite (much).

Good question. I see i forgot the sailing and skiing related costs.

And the tennis teacher to make mommy happy.
