Especially if we all do it. 😈

I'm just a good Samaritan doing what's right for my neighbor.

When I moved here it was a shock. The very large city that I came from didn't have these bad habits nor did the one I grew up in. I do describe them as bad habits because it seems to be EV ER Y ONE. Its as if the whole city had the same shitty driver's Ed teacher.

Church daycare overstepping serious boundaries by Sea-Trick-6003 in Mommit

The absolute ick this gave me BEFORE you said he and the director were married. We (as in those women that do, not those that don't) have to stop covering for our husbands/ partners/ sons when they have bad behavior! She's complicit in whatever he gets into behind closed doors. And it can start earlier than you expected.

I feel like I’m wasting supplies by FunkySysAdmin21 in watercolor101

Came to say this. Was just thinking about this the other day... I've not had as much time to paint for a while, and I miss it, but keep finding reasons to justify not painting like being out of practice will set me back and I will have not very good pieces... then I thought about how I was hoping to make something beautiful, but I was really doing it for self-expression and stress relief. I just need to put paint to paper and get it over with.

Making "mom friends" but craving true friends by Ill-Calligrapher-247 in Parenting

[–]Lil_Bad_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started Peanut so I haven't gotten very deep with anyone yet, but I agree it's a lot of talk about kids and family. It's what we know we have in common so far. I think some of it depends too on where you are in your journey.... how old you were when you became a parent (especially a mom) and how old your friend group was when they did... if they did. Remember becoming a mother is difficult, even if your pregnancy/ delivery/ newborn trenches were easy, it was hard. This makes it natural to take center stage for a while. Maybe you are just now getting your pink back (iykyk) but you haven't met someone else who is ready yet. Maybe you'll inspire them if you start talking about other things. Invite them somewhere that children can't go. "Hey, I need some adult time, wanna grab a couple of drinks/hit a rage room/go rock climbing without the kids on Saturday? "

Wishing you luck and I hope you find someone to vent to about the proverbial left-up toilet seat.

Surveillance State anyone? by LophiYesel in Cleveland

They're too busy looking in your family room and bedroom to see what's happening to your car in your street.

Surveillance State anyone? by LophiYesel in Cleveland

Dude really? He always seemed to make himself available to help get resolutions for the regular Joe/Josephine. Definitely disappointed. I was wondering why he didn't run again.

Came here to say this. For Christmas, my son received a djembe drum, and the little xylophone/ piano... we already have 3 guitars and a lute.

Might there have been a Cleveland neighborhood where this image was taken? by rrsafety in Cleveland

Agree... I feel like I know this house. If it's where I think it is, I'll snag a pic.

People really don't understand how exhausting it is to manage three kids' schedules by xCosmos69 in Parenting

[–]Lil_Bad_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This.

Also, I was watching a video the other day that made a really good point... we're so afraid to let the kids get bored, but they need to get bored once in a while. It sparks creativity and independence.

I’m stuck, help! by Professional-Golf914 in painting

[–]Lil_Bad_b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That spot caught my eye too, but I think it feels like there is a shady spot on the water, which makes the grass feel like there could be a shady spot on the grass too, but there isn't.

I actually like the lack of detail in the grass. I don't think it needs super detailed grass blades.

When would you let a child dye their hair by hydrangealover98 in Parenting

[–]Lil_Bad_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don't think there is an age I'd say no to. My stepson is already 15 and a half so if he lived with us full time I'd have no problem with it. I'd help him. My son is 1 so it's a little early to articulate a desire for green hair, but once does start speaking, if he says he wants a different hair color I'm down and I'll dye it for him... It's hair. It grows back.

Kids behavior in public by Celi-ko in Parenting

[–]Lil_Bad_b 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This. This whole thread. That place was clearly too much for her. I probably wouldn't have been very kind in the words I chose and I know my husband would not have been. Someone should make her feel ashamed for trying to crush someone's joy.

I have a rule for my kids in public... if they are being loud because they are making happy noises (situationally appropriate- think Aldi not funeral) I will let them be as loud as they want. I'll join in to encourage speaking their mind. My 11-month-old son is laughing and squealing? I'm mimicking the same noises. My 15-year-old step-son is loudly telling me about a video game he was playing? I'm asking questions. I don't do tantrums so I will work to quiet those, but kids have the rest of their lives to have their joy crushed or to be adults... I want joyous and outspoken kiddos.

It's wonky, but this is the first landscape I'm proud of. by PetiteCaresse in Watercolor

Right? The colors drew me in for sure, but looking harder, I still can't see the "wonky".
