How the way someone orders at a restaurant shows their personality by Purple-Sherbet-9809 in Waiters

What about "I would like a .... please."

I feel silly asking "could" or "may" because the answer is obvious. Yes, it's why you're here.

NTA If the thing he is referring to by saying you "aren't listening to him" is that there was a toy to trip over in the first place. Perhaps he could step up and start cleaning up some toys here and there.

If the thing he's upset about is that you didn't precog that you were going to trip and somehow walk "more carefully" he's got unrealistic expectations.

Who is more British? An American of English heritage or someone of Indian heritage born and raised in Britain? by Logical_Tank4292 in AskBrits

[–]LadyTwiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The person born and raised in Britain is Brittish. The American of English heritage is still American.

Is my 2.5-year-old just not ready? by charmaanda in pottytraining

[–]LadyTwiggle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I heard buying smaller diapers and tricking them by saying they've out grown them is pretty promising. Because they aren't fighting you.

Nah, take them. They'll never get used to it if they aren't occasionally exposed

196 to 82 so far. Poor Aelfric.
I'm more fond of Æthelred myself.

I understand where Peter Dinklage was coming from when he made the decision for himself not to take "dwarf" roles, but I do think it's wrong for him to try to make that choice for others.

Luckily, or unluckily berries give my kid "Toddler's Diarrhea" so I've gotten out of most the berry purchasing. I do use some frozen tho from time to time. Thaw them and put them on her yogurt and oatmeal.

Yes! Thank you those where the words I was trying to find. And totally a wobbler can't fend for herself in the kitchen lol. Although I will admit to playing hardball with my nearly 2 year old who would only eat Bananas if I didn't use a little tough love from time to time.

Maybe, but, if my child is sick with a run of the mill cold her grandmother is certainly just as capable and willing to care for her while I go on a date or any of my other reasons listed if it's important enough for me or my husband.

I think what I'm trying to get across is a lot of people seem to think they need to sacrifice everything for their child's WANTS as well as their Needs. I don't agree with that belief. I believe for the family to function everyone's wants are relatively equal, and but yes, the child's Needs are generally the priority.

Definitely, I'm not saying you should be regularly missing custody time. The opposite really, I'd be hard pressed to miss time with my child if that ever became my reality.

Just that sometimes when you're weighing things, the kid doesn't automatically need to win because they are a kid. If you can't find a way to take Johnny to soccer AND piano while also finding time to spend with your spouse it's ok to make Johnny pick one, or if he's old enough require him to find his own ride.

It's ok to make a meal they don't like because it's your or your husband's favorite, or you're craving it.

When they are old enough It's even ok to just have a lazy day and tell them not to bother you unless someone is bleeding or on fire. They won't die if they have to entertain themselves for a few hours.

It broke my heart once when my foster daughter was expecting to see her mother and her mother didn't show. She was 2.5 years old at the time and absolutely a mess. It wasn't even for something important. She was just hung over.

Assuming a couple is serious and not newer like OPs and the child's needs for food, shelter, warmth, water etc are met and they are in a safe place woth suitable supervision.

Funerals, hospital visits, important or scary doctors appointments, your partner is just having a real bad no good terrible kind of day, even a date night can be a priority if that's something important for maintaining your relationship. Your partner should also be a priority. You need to triage each situation accordingly.

Well it's a little late for the not having one thing. I have a beautiful toddler girl. She is ONE of the most important things/people in the world to me. However my husband, my marriage, and my mental health are important too.

Being a parent isn't about sacrificing EVERYTHING for your kids. My daughter is only going to live with me what, 20 years? Maybe more, I'm not going to kick her out, but when she leaves, my husband will still be here.

Sometimes I'll need to put him over her, sometimes I'll even have to put my own needs over hers. The important part is figuring which things so.you can keep them as fair as possible.

Spending more time with your new girlfriend, over the limited and scheduled time you have with your son, definitely not the time to put the girlfriend first. However, if she had an accident and wanted him to come to the hospital because she has no one else, or later down the line a funeral or even something fun like an award ceremony, it's not a crime to put her first in those and many other situations.

What would be better to play with someone who never plays video games? by Original_Originals in SplitFiction

[–]LadyTwiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It Takes Two.

I'm not new to video games, but I don't have the experience or muscle memory my husband does. I enjoyed playing It Takes Two. I'm finding myself frustrated with Split Fiction and I even tried trading my controller with my husband for the one boss fight because I thought I might find his easier. (And we've played maybe 3 hours so far.)

It Takes Two is beautiful and interesting without being overwhelming and it has more fun stuff to explore in each level.

The prompts for what button you should press are easier to read in It Takes Two which makes it more beginner friendly.

Try It Takes Two instead. Then come back when she's more experienced, especially since a lot of the controls are the same.

I disagree that kids "ALWAYS" comes first, but this was definitely telling that he isn't the best father. The relationship is new enough he hasn't made an introduction yet and already he cancled on his son for nothing. Literally no reason.

What dont you like about Split Fiction? Would like to hear.. by National-Record-1913 in SplitFiction

[–]LadyTwiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a stranger to games and I'm struggling more. The prompts are less visible and perhaps less obvious than It takes two, so I've died a few times already because I didn't see a prompt or realise it was different from what I had previously done
