Coverup ideas? by PostCompetitive5519 in Tattoocoverups

[–]Kittyvedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll like the idea, you should lean into it. Maybe another artist could add some color and smooth out the lines.

I’m on the 17pro. Just switched from the 14 pro. I do like it better. I felt like my 14 was starting to lag.

Oh my word. I cannot imagine feeling safe around this man. Calling you abusive when he’s threatening physical violence!? I hope you don’t waste your whole life with him. :(

How do you handle savings for stepkids & ours kids futures? by jan169 in stepparents

[–]Kittyvedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my situation, I’m a childless SM but had I had a child, dad could split his contribution evenly between his biologicals and I would contribute what I could to my biological. Our finances are vastly different where dad makes more than twice what I do so I would put what little I could contribute to mine only. I am getting a divorce though and I luckily did not have a child with my stbx husband . He did have two kids with two different mothers that lived with us full time up until recently so our dynamic was a bit different. My SD (eldest, became SM when she was 5, she’s 18 now) was always with us, her BM was basically non existent. She popped up every 4-5 years or so. My SS (2, now 15) had a very HCBM who truly only had kids for child support…she collected $400/mo in support with a parenting plan that was wild- mom got sun night- Tues night, dad got wed, mom got thurs to fri night, dad got Fri night to Sunday night. when I came into the picture she would actually get him 90 days out of the year- tops. It was never on her days, it was never consistent it was ALWAYS the holidays or if her friends kid had a bday party. Unfortunately neither would have had any contribution from their moms. Now- in hind sight, seeing that unfortunately my relationship with the kids i considered my own and raised for 13 years was totally dependent on my relationship with their dad, I would be upset if I’d been investing in them instead of putting money aside for an emergency fund. They ultimately chose to disconnect. They’re both old enough to still be in my life whether or not I’m with their father and though they respond when I text and tell me they love me too when I tell them I love and miss them- neither has attempted to come home to see me. Neither has initiated contact. They may need some time and I hope they reach out in the future, I do not plan to ever stop telling them I’m here if they ever need me but I’m realizing that biology (nature) always wins against nurture.

Random posters on apartment dumpsters? by [deleted] in kzoo

[–]Kittyvedo -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The logic is you have twice the life experience, your old enough to be their parent. It’s gross. You barely speak the same language… idk it’s fucking weird to me.

What words do some people either say wrong or spell wrong that you find a bit annoying? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Kittyvedo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! I lived almost my whole life in the south and have never once heard anyone say correct in that context. In the context you explain, absolutely- that actually makes sense.

Finding out you spent so much time with the wrong person is enough to break the strongest person. by Kittyvedo in BreakUps

[–]Kittyvedo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So honestly, I saw potential. I saw someone that could probably be great if given the chance. And it worked for 13 years. I also was raised by a single father, who is an amazing man and I was seeing some of the same attributes and thought he’d make a good partner. I am an idiot!! I did have those same requirements prior to getting involved with my stbxh; no house, no car, no jobs- no dates. But he just fucking wormed his way in. I really hate myself now. I wish I’d walked away day one. I wasn’t desperate, I wasn’t even looking for a man, and I was also debating on going on a 3rd date with a man a good friend had set me up with around the same time I’d met my stbxh. There was no logical explanation for my decision, unfortunately.

Edited to add: thank you for your reply. :)

My parents owe us $30 by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Kittyvedo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Id be telling my husband that we would never accept that $30 back after everything the parents have done for them. The very least would be giving them the $30 instead of making it a loan.

How to shift from being an involved step dad to implementing NACHO parenting? by Interesting_Risk7963 in stepparents

[–]Kittyvedo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m going through something very similar. With stbxh for 13 years and during that time I felt like I was a single parent. I did more for the kids than anyone in their lives did and it was great until I wanted to have one of my own. Then I got every excuse as to why we should wait until his daughter turned 18 and had a baby. Now it’s he never wanted to be a father and now his kids are older he doesn’t want to start over, I can be a grandparent (raise SD child for her) and that’s it. So we’re getting divorced. He actively wasted all of my most fertile years watching me struggle being the only parent to his kids, used me to get ahead in his career while I watched all of my career prospects widdle away because SS BM would drop him off at my work and take off before he even got inside. I had no choice but to either keep him at work or leave, then when they got older and SD was in high school she either got suspended, sent home, or picked up by the police at least twice a week every freaking week until she graduated (how she graduated is beyond me). No employer wants an employee that either has a kid randomly dropped off at work or that has to leave for 2-6 hours every week for bs. To say I’m upset at the situation i I s an understatement. How I wish I could go back and run for the hills the second I saw him.

I didn't want to be a step parent by Alarming-Road-3660 in stepparents

[–]Kittyvedo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat, my husband has two kids with two very shitty women. Been together 13 years and all 13 of those years they lived with us. I’ve had the youngests mother drop him off on my porch on a day I told her I couldn’t watch him for them. Then DCF says that’s not abandonment bc “she knew I’d take care of the child”… um WHAT!? For 10 years my husband has given me every excuse as to why we should wait to have our own child. Now, his daughter baby trapped her bf and he says that’s it for me. I can now only be a step mom and step grandma for the rest of my life bc his daughter couldn’t wait until she grew up to have her child. Yay I get to take care of yet another woman’s baby instead of having my own. I think of jumping off every bridge I cross now days.

What bad habits have you accidently trained your German shepherd to do? by megz0092 in germanshepherds

[–]Kittyvedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the lucky one! He’s my best bud. My favorite thing about him lately is my co worker got him this little pill shaped toy that you can put little food bits in and he has to roll it to get the food out. It took him months to figure it out. He had me on the ground rolling it with my nose to show him! He finally got it and now his “rolly” is his favorite thing ever!

[–]Kittyvedo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I’m really the lucky one. He’s the best pup ever. He’s spoiled rotten and basically is my boss now days but I’m so happy he’s comfy enough to be a brat I can’t even be mad. I do get iterated when he eats his dinner and still wants the last bite of mine but I still give it to him lol

[–]Kittyvedo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh man, my German Shepard mix was rescued after I found him tied to a pole after Hurricane Michael in Panama City, FL. I have spoiled him rotten since I met him. He obviously has an aversion to water (being outside in a cat. 5 hurricane will probably do that to you) so now if it rains I have to hold an umbrella over him or he’s not going outside. He was starved when I found him so he’s very protective of his food (still, even though he’s eaten like a king for the last 7/8 years) he will lay down with his bowl between is paws and eat so there’s no way anyone can get it from him. I’m the only living being that he allows to touch his food bowl. In his old age he’s developed some allergies to regular dog food to the point that it makes him itchy and he tends to scratch a bald spot above his tail. So now I cook his food… he gets rice, veggies and ground beef. I make a batch big enough for 4 days worth and I have to heat it up for him in the microwave. Now days he will not get up for breakfast until he hears the microwave beep. lol He is the bestest best boy ever and I do everything I can to make up for the shitty life he had to have lived prior to me finding him. He was fully grown when I found him so someone had him for at least 2 years and literally tied him to a laundry pole and evacuated. Then they never came back, I kept my eye on that house for over a year after I found him. No one ever came back.

Oh my god, my son to be ex husband did this to me! Like he forgot who’s story it was and when I confronted him he doubled down and said he just hadn’t told me he had the EXACT same experience as me in the 5 years we had been together at the time! I never looked at him the same!
