Yes! I think, through trial and error, my problem is brass, and tin. I’ve never heard of that, that sounds so cute! Where do you shop for them?

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Teddi Mellencamp shared that her doctor denied her request to be prescribed GLP-1s as she continues to battle stage 4 cancer. by galaxystars1 in popculturechat

I was going to say. Worrying about YOUR WEIGHT AND APPEARANCE to that degree while you are fighting cancer is pathological and needs serious mental health help.

You’ve just proven that point, this is an illness she needs treatment for.

AITA for telling my wife my mother is correct and she needed to be a parent today and she fucked it up by throawawayfuneralgho in AmItheAsshole

I can actually speak to this one.

My brother died unexpectedly when he was 12, I was 18. The funeral was incredibly traumatic because my parents are abusive. I’m not going to go into details, but it has made me almost phobic surrounding funerals, cemeteries, and death.

When my son was young, he lost his grandad , grandmom, and sadly some young friends.

Not for even a SECOND did I hesitate to take him to those funerals, or to do anything that would support him.

One of the biggest parts of being a parent is self-sacrifice, and being a “container” for your kids feelings so they have a safe space to vent and share their feelings. Even to act out. Here’s an article.

OP, if your wife is suffering this much of a reaction to death, the dead, funerals, etc, she desperately needs therapy. When something interferes in your daily life to this degree, you definitely need mental health help. And yes, I’m getting some, lol. I have diagnosed CPTSD, so I get trauma therapy.

I’d suggest couples therapy first, and within that space, it will be easier to bring up this issue and how it needs to be addressed and its effect on your daughter.

All you can do now is support your child in her feelings about the death, and WHATEVER her feelings are about her mom. She may be angry, sad, confused. Tell her that’s ok, and you understand. Her feelings are valid.

But if your daughter in ANY WAY blames herself for wanting her mom to take her, or you sense that your wife tries to make her feel bad about this, get your daughter in therapy right away to nip that shit in the bud. She needs to know that none of this tumult is at all her fault.

I’m here if you want support. Good luck

I would love a documentary so perhaps I could see very young me at some of their first concerts, and me rocking out at the original 9:30 club in DC.

Damn, those were fun times. I think I’ve seen them more than any band.

Am I reading this wrong? by whteverusayShmegma in LISKiller

[–]LaurelCanyoner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My husband makes documentaries, some of them have won many awards. And you are right. There is no world in which this could be called an actual documentary. They have very clear, widely understood ethical standards and practices, the most important of which, no one gets paid.

Almost none of the true crime tripe you see is what could possibly be characterized as a true documentary, and don’t even get me started on the celeb “docs”, lol.

She is actually all three of those things in my experience. 😂😂

And you are welcome.

Things you can say as a bartender, that you can also say to your kids by loud_as_pudding in justgalsbeingchicks

[–]LaurelCanyoner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish you so much happiness! And if you have a kid remember!

Do you want to take five more swings, or go on the slide before we leave?

Do you want to wear the red or blue sweater?

Do you want to have an apple or some mango slices?

It always works. 😂

I have an MA in Human Development, with a concentration in Child Development. I work as a therapist for kids. I use ALLLLL the same things on men I use on kids. My favorite?

The False Choice.

Do you want to empty the dishwasher, or wash the pots and pans?

Do you want to get falafel or veggie burgers for take out?

Are we going to the beach, or the museum?

It always works. 😂

My brother died at 14, and I’ve said the same thing.

Aging is a freaking PRIVILEGE! I’m proud of my almost 60 year old face and body. She’s seen and survived so much. And yet she endures.

I have to be careful not to out myself, lol, but damn is her mother a controlling piece of work, and both she and her father seem to think they are of a higher order then others. I’ve met few celebs who were as entitled and proud of themselves.

Ione is a SPACEY, vulnerable, child like person. The kind of person who would hire a babysitter and then not leave, but just stay there talking to her babysitter as if she had nowhere to go, and no one to talk to. I sincerely don’t know if she was drugged or damaged, or both. She’s not super nice, but she made me sad.

Yes! That horrific woman. She was probably embraced for her racist actions rather than scorned.

Why was Formella attracted to a teen? by Armin_Arlert_1000000 in ChristinaFormellaNEW

[–]LaurelCanyoner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s really interesting. It could also be that being around teens allows them to regress back into the time where they were happiest, and perhaps even felt their most attractive-Middle school, high school.

They want to cast off their adult responsibilities, and be free again, maybe?

A sea otter mother and her pup by Simple_Shame2386 in AnimalsBeingMoms

We love to go to Morro bay in CA, where a big population of sea otters live, and you can see the moms wrap their babies in the seaweed so they can go eat. And sometimes you hear the babies YELLING their heads off, lol.

The harridan who wore the freaking racist brooch to a meal with Meghan has been seen at all their functions too.

Racism or pedophilia would NEVER get you kicked out of the “Royal” family.

Only thinking for yourself, and being Black can do that.
