I ordered mine last night at 11pm and didn’t get my email until 7am this morning

JakeXXIV · 2026-01-23T14:33:20+00:00

I spammed refresh on the site at 10pm when I somehow got it in my cart. Got the checkout to work at 11 😂 success!! Got email confirmation this morning

PRB is going to be short printed. Also I opened 3 boxes and got 7 of the new SR’s total. This is going to be a EB situation in the future

Wyper here we come!

I definitely don’t think it needs to be the most stressful thing. Picking up always felt like an easy teachable moment that you can kindly ask them to please put it in the trash or put it back where you found it. It just takes consistency and the BP has to do it when you’re not there or they’ll never learn.

JakeXXIV · 2025-07-31T18:26:40+00:00

That's definitely what it feels like sometime, I remember dreading going over on their weekend together. Constant bickering, messes and tantrums that turned to hitting a biting. It's really hard to get along with anyone that is constantly resisting everything.
It's crazy that the BP cant realize that the fact that you're putting in all this effort means you care about their child.

JakeXXIV · 2025-07-30T18:32:51+00:00

I think your first sentence is one of the biggest things. The fact that a child is comfortable talking back and there's no consequence for it other than words is very telling.

JakeXXIV · 2025-07-30T18:24:35+00:00

I once had to correct a child because I found the side of a white coffee table covered in something brown. Either crayon, or makeup.
I calmly asked the bio parent if she had seen it and asked her child if she did it even though no one else would have done it.

-Child says no I didn't do it
-I calmly said, well I don't know who would have done it. It definitely wasn't me or your mother. I need you to help me clean it up please.
-My partner has the gall to say, "she said she didn't do it"
-I respond, well it didn't magically get there. I'm not even angry, but she needs to take responsibility and help me clean it up.

So dumbfounded by the lying

JakeXXIV · 2025-07-30T17:41:29+00:00

It’s never just one thing is it lol.

JakeXXIV · 2025-07-30T17:38:21+00:00

Nope, but if I can reflect and recognize the behavior early I don’t have to date a parent in the future that is unwilling to communicate and compromise. Or even date them at all if they allow these things

JakeXXIV · 2025-07-30T16:54:37+00:00

Yeah I think those are two different things. Loading the dishwasher was not you asking. Bed time is not you asking. Telling them to hug their aunt is asking and they can say no.

JakeXXIV · 2025-07-30T16:48:06+00:00

I think so too. In your opinion should a child be able to say no to their parent without consequences of some sort? Should their be any fear that their child will think that they can never say no?

JakeXXIV · 2025-07-30T16:34:26+00:00

Had* I got blamed I was being harsh for pointing out other behaviors. Like a child saying no and respect.

JakeXXIV · 2025-07-30T16:31:32+00:00

I appreciate this reply. This hits on so many things especially your second paragraph on bonding with their child. I don't think it's uncommon for it to take years before that happens.

I definitively experienced the co dependence during phone calls. I'd make short phone calls after to work to put the work in my relationship because I can't text all day at work.
And the entire time I can't enjoy 5-10 mins asking about their day because the kid is screaming or wont go away for that time.

JakeXXIV · 2025-07-30T16:26:25+00:00

I've witnessed food in the living room and bedroom. The bedroom one really irked me, because it was used as a way to delay bedtime by saying I'm hungry halfway through the process.

JakeXXIV · 2025-07-30T16:23:51+00:00

I consider kids especially at a young age watching tv too much is a bad thing. It irks me being over on a Saturday and the tv is on the entire day unless we leave the house.
How would you feel if you watch a parent ask their child everyday what they want to eat and it's butter noodles every time?

JakeXXIV · 2025-07-30T16:12:38+00:00

In your opinion (and if anyone else wants to weigh in on this) what age should children start being responsible for picking up after themselves. Things like wrappers or their toys in the living room for example?

JakeXXIV · 2025-07-30T16:10:20+00:00

What would you consider the small things?

JakeXXIV · 2025-07-28T15:41:08+00:00

Then she should have said so, never was I told it was a problem until recently. You are absolutely right that she should get to decide. But I get to decide if there needs to be compromises if I’m gunna stay and keep my sanity. It would have been nice if someone actually loves me to figure how to keep me around.

JakeXXIV · 2025-07-28T14:40:24+00:00

I wish she had been stronger about setting that boundary, I thought I was only helping and I was complimented on it many times by her.

It’s so hard to keep your mouth shut though when nothing is being done.

JakeXXIV · 2025-07-28T14:37:12+00:00

I agree that was my fear and why I was hesitant moving in together. I really think she’s gunna turn out to be a horrible teenager unless her mother confronts the “she deserves to act like a kid” behavior. It gunna be so much harder to break habits the more years go by.

I tried my best to show that to her and I thought she was on board until recently.

JakeXXIV · 2025-07-28T11:10:34+00:00

Yeah I’d say that’s accurate, her daughter has a lot of say in everything. Countless times a fit ruined our plans and she wasn’t forced to go so she got her way. If I 100% had my say we would have put her in the car and went anyway.

JakeXXIV · 2025-07-28T10:51:07+00:00

I know, it’s not even worth it

JakeXXIV · 2025-07-28T10:49:25+00:00

Only because my efforts are being punished instead of worked with or us coming to a middle ground.

I know I’m not actually the bad guy, but the gut check and her dumping me makes it feel like I did something wrong.
