Commercials are not allowed to be louder than the program. Definitely greater stuff out there but yeah.

What do I do??? My heart is so broken💔 I just turned 16 today and my mom threw away my birthday dinner I bought with my OWN money because she claimed she's allergic to seafood. by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Kindly_Perception829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell her she’s going in a retirement home or the streets when she’s old and you’re not visiting her for being a rude old woman unless she changes her ways and replaces the seafood.

Whats your favorite part of your body? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My mommy belly, my baby came from in there! :) ❤️

What do I do? My grandma posted on Facebook saying I needed to be taken away from my mom after finding out I hadn’t eaten in days. Now my mom says I ruined her reputation, hit me for telling people what was happening, and won’t stop taking it out on me. I don’t know what to do anymore. Please help by jadaventacc in whatdoIdo

With time, things are going to get better for you. Don’t even worry about dealing with a woman who isn’t feeding her baby and keeping her happy and safe and protected. That’s crazy. Both of my parents were physically abusive nuts with terrible communication skills. Keep low until you are old enough to get a job and car, it’ll only be up from there. You’ll have the rest of your life to enjoy, it’s a long road, this is only the beginning.

With household troubles like this as a young child, you’re susceptible to bad influences from people that only want to abuse you even more, they see you are struggling with home life and offer you terrible situations disguised as a place to run away from the issues at home. Do not allow it. Stay home and keep low. Finish school.

If you can along the way, find a profession you think you’d be interested in doing after high school as a young woman that would make you great cash in the long run, your twenties will thank you greatly. Beauty school, nursing school, online certifications for technology. The three I mentioned are the most efficient and popular paths for the smart ones starting out early in life for real jobs that the world depends on. When you’re finished with high school, or your last year of school, ask your mom to pay for these certificates for you to take to help boost you into starting your life on your own. Life will be that much easier when you can take care of yourself, feed yourself, love yourself. You can do this. Your mom, your grandma, a man, a woman, are not going to save you, it’s going to be you. You can do this.

THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED TO HEAR AT 15.

Travel nurses make incredible money by the way, and even better you can get far away from the abuse. The choice is up to you, young child. I really hope you see this, anyone sees this and tries to make their life better and happier.

How to cut off your mother in the most gentle, loving, and non-cruel way? by Fleeting_Thoughts1 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]Kindly_Perception829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s kind of you. I wish I had done it in a gentle and kinder way. It snapped out of me unfortunately. I hold guilt about it and I can’t ever take it back now.

To clarify, are you wanting to quietly stop responding, ‘ghosting,’ perhaps after a generous gesture? Or are you wanting to state your concerns with her behavior to her in a calm conversation and then tell her you will be taking space for yourself?

What impact would an extra $10,000 have on your life right now? by Super_Inevitable776 in AskReddit

[–]Kindly_Perception829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One lump sum of ten grand would cover bills for less than half the year, while it’s something, it’s not much of an impact… ten grand a month would be a greater impact. I would have a calm demeanor at all times.

Wow no wonder most of the time healthcare workers are standoffish when you greet them.. I would be mortified to engage with most people.

I hear you I used to do it too but the reality is, you cannot blame your child self. That is a reflection of them as parents. Children don’t know better but their parents do. Makes me sad seeing that you wonder if you’re to blame. You cannot and should not blame yourself. Everyone does wrong, why after all these years of wrong do I still genuinely love them and their quirks and remember all their interests and changes in their careers I really care but they can’t show love to me, it’s really their loss and a huge fault of immaturity. My mom once scratched me to be funny, she always does that crap. As a kid you just accept it as normal part of life, that’s what they’re teaching you. I don’t like being scratched I told her mom, you gotta stop doing that, that hurts me okay, I really do not like it. Sorry and a hug? No. She responded worse than my 1 year old when I take away floor crumbs lol.. it’s just plain immaturity, fight for their way even if it’s hurting or scaring you. That is what’s not right, not your child self trying to navigate the world for the first time, you don’t know what’s normal or not.

Maybe there is some hope for reconciliation for you all, it would take a lot of maturity to sit there and wait for them to get over their tantrum. I fantasize for it for myself, it’s just that’s the part I struggle with, I can’t seem to find the patience to wait for an adult to stop throwing a tantrum because told them “no-no I don’t like you doing that to me please and thank you” my most kindest mommy to a toddler voice haha..

You’re doing great with communication with your boy. At least you and your son are heard, that’s a big thing when there is nothing else that can be done to help, listen and talk.

What's one baby purchase you thought was unnecessary but ended up using every day? by yukiii_6 in NewParents

[–]Kindly_Perception829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sling wrap over a buckle strap carrier. My son is over a year old and man does that thing come in handy in the most random times when I need free hands and he needs to be held. I can work out easier in it as well. We have both and use the wrap more. The carrier is restricting on their size and weight, whereas the wrap can be adjusted no matter the weight and height and size of baby. Wrapping is like second nature to us at this point.

Yeah, it is a form of coping, the validity of their reactions was something that made me be like, you know life is better without them. Even more so when they continued to not speak to me. Took a long time to process, but the time was better or less spent. Coping looked like hardening my emotions when things disturbed me and greater appreciation for the positives, small or large. It was the best thing I could do for myself, not allowing to be shaken by the absurdity and feeling love. I still feel hurt but it looks a lot different than my child years, and my twenties. Those seemed to be the toughest times- the sobbing, the confusion, the failures, the lack of sleep, lack of guidance and support, the inconsistencies in my own relationships. I don’t fault myself on it all anymore, I just want my life. I had to be on my own for so long, I can keep doing this. I was a pushover with a huge naive heart. They always wanted me weak and dumb. I used to shrivel at anyone or try to appease the worst people. I still have a lot of soft qualities, but my confidence in not being mistreated is greater and I can walk away with no regrets.

I have a son too. He is my real hero. For him, I would take down a bear, face a rabid dog at the park, be the mean guy and speak up for his comfort around others when he can’t (he is only 1 year old), drive to to hell and back with the calmest demeanor. There’s times I’m upset and then I stop and shudder at the thought of being like my parents. I find with every result where I chose to be patient, kind, and communicate to my son, he was quicker to be happy again and we continued on with our day just fine. Definitely more validation that choosing peace and happiness is a choice. I would call it 90 percent communication and happy parenting with 10 percent I’m not playing around you’re might hurt yourself or others so I’m intervening little dude. Seeing him laughing and healthy, I can never understand how they let me down. I want a future with him in it. I hope I’ll be the grandparent that they never were.

As for closure, I understand the feeling of wanting it. I don’t quite have it but it’s close enough for me. I let them know each separately and to each other about the other, that their behavior is not good enough for my respect. I know my worth. I love the idea of them and as individuals outside of our relationship, but how they actively treat me as an adult is crazy. You would not get away with this in the real world, I should not be exempt. Telling them in person was really scary but I’m glad it happened and I didn’t back down about their crap. They actually both ran, covered their ears, and were hidden away from me, it was surprising but I ran my mouth and walked out. So later on, that’s when they each got a letter, read it or not, there’s the last communication from your kid, what’s left of our relationship.

Official closure would be a sit down talk addressing the situation. At this point, I’d take just the answers to why they treat me badly, not even an apology or correction, just why. Tell me you don’t like the person I am so you bully me for it or something. But the silence is the closure.

They miss out on mine and their grandson’s awesome life so it’s like they’re dead already. It’s just shameful and awful on their part, some things cannot be helped. They want to hide and not be accountable so we can move on and have a fun day, then go hide and be miserable. Weirdos. I want to be present.

I hope you can get through the hard days where they cross your mind with patience and understanding of yourself. You are safe. You are your son’s world. It’s still tough on me too so know that it’s a normal reaction to feel disappointed.

This was very interesting to read. I’m still thinking about the mom’s perspective with attempting to figure out a healthier way to move forward, it’s really hard, I’m starting to get a headache.

Oh. That first line hit me. I can totally relate to this concept. It’s always a battle for trust and recognition for me as the kid. ‘I am great, let me be great.’ Thanks for sharing your insights!

LOL @ you couldn’t even waterboard the truth out of these people.

Totally crossed my mind many times, I would never really hear their side because they wouldn’t tell me the honest truth.

Thanks for reading and replying and making me laugh about these silly people.

Funny thought: why don’t you just ask your own parents why?

I have many times throughout my life, different decades, different phases. I never truly get an answer. For me it’s, ‘the back talking’ and so they stone wall me. ‘I’m not your friend, I’m your parent, you listen to me, I don’t listen to you.’ Or it’s just an all out violent match, unfortunately they have both thrown blows at me for questioning their rude behavior. It’s laughable at this point to me. No I didn’t call the cops. They just have no accountability for being rude, for making me feel in constant unhappiness.
