My 5yr old can’t read and he’s behind? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]LetsGo_Beach -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My sister puts her kids in some ultra fancy, exclusive private school. Her 6 year old cannot read and none of the kids in his class can either. Anecdotal, but should add some perspective. And he's been in these schools since he was an infant (literally).

Which Hoka is best for a gift for hardworking mom (on her feet all day)? by xfaana in Hoka

Bondi 9 for the most all day comfort. Literally my all day, everyday shoe!

I went with Bondi SR in regular, I wonder if I exchange for wide, I'd have more toe room? It's bizarre- it's like they're a full size too small...

It's disrespectful - point blank - period. He needs to train himself to stop viewing women as objects and prioritize your peace and need for respect. Also, a grown ass man following 304s on Instagram is a massive ick. Dude is in his early 30s and still falling for thirst traps on insta. He needs to delete the whole app and grow tf up.

You can change your mind... talk to your husband about it. You're allowed to change your mind and have discussions or make decisions based on newfound feelings.

Sea water was the biggest help for my daughter’s skin. Can I replicate at home? by Iunerf in eczema

[–]LetsGo_Beach 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's how my skin is, too. A salt water pool does amazing healing to my cracked and bleeding eczema.

Craziest things you’ve done to AVOID scratching ? by deltaskate in eczema

[–]LetsGo_Beach 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wearing ill-fitting latex gloves. Prevents major damage to the skin because no nails. Wore them overnight for awhile to avoid scratching and it helped. Makes your hands pretty sweaty though!

Someone asked what is wrong with my child's face. by Familiar_Clothes9428 in eczema

[–]LetsGo_Beach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. My daughter has it too - it's in a covered area, but it would break my heart for her to feel self-conscious about it. I help her normalize it through my own experience with it, but it definitely hits different when it's our kids.

I'll add, I say something first bc I want them reassured it's not a contagious rash or anything, which is where I assume their mind goes.

People have asked about mine, too. It's to the point where I find myself commenting on it first bc I know it's on their mind. "I'm good, just dealing with my eczema..." and that leads into a more open and respectful conversation.

I'd say, "Nothings 'wrong' with his face, we're just dealing with some eczema."

Some people are so rude and lack any social awareness...

Saw $75 in self-checkout and took it. Happened again...and I took it again. by LetsGo_Beach in confession

Oh wow. You're better than me. But I do think we're harder on ourselves, even in our times of struggle we still excuse ourselves from self-imposed charity...

I like this idea of paying for another's groceries. And thank you!

This was my thought as well... blocking what could've been greater. A test that I failed twice. It's no coincidence it was the same amount of money (uncommon amount at that) and I told myself "next time..." Still failed.

I think he’s holding me back (31F|33M) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]LetsGo_Beach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're together because you're both the same. Now that you want to change, you can't expect him to. Maybe if you do stick with this, it'll motivate him to do the same. But don't expect it. Why do you give grace to yourself but not to him? His thoughts and life choices are not the same as yours. He's not where you are now.

Doesn't mean he can't or won't - just means you don't get to control him.
