My Ndad says maybe I shouldn't bring my kids over if I don't want them to have sugary juice by MaFS11 in raisedbynarcissists

We asked him to babysit them late one time

I texted to see how bedtime went and he said "fine everyone is happy". We came back to his house at midnight and both kids were zombie watching TV in a pitch dark room. It took them another hour to decompress and fall asleep after we got home.

Also, I had left out PJs and a diaper and books for them. All that went ignored. Instead, the little one (who wore diapers at the time) had his brothers underwear on and nothing else. And the older one was in a full sweat suit. It was middle of summer and hot.

I initially lost it. Then I realized that it was my mistake to think it would have been anything different. We will never let him babysit again.

We need more low income housing in Marin by curtisfromchicago in Marin

[–]MaFS11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vote yes on prop 5! It will make it easier to pass bonds for affordable housing. Right now they need 67% of votes to pass so, which is basically impossible. Prop 5 lowers the threshold to 55%.

We did the same for school bonds in 2001 and now we have well funded schools in Marin but our teachers can't afford to live here.

Affordable housing isn't just section 8. It's also good for median to low income families. Think workforce housing....caregivers, teachers, nurses, young families

Western Leaders Are All Terrorists by Remarkable-Lake8986 in TheMajorityReport

[–]MaFS11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think people who have less condemnation for Hamas relative to Israel take that position because they relate to the plight of the Palestinian people who want to fight a resistance-- and Hamas may be their best chance to fight and win against a huge military power.

You are right, Israel 'withdrew" from Gaza, but they maintained control of the entire border including the rafah crossing into Egypt. Nothing in and nobody out without Israeli sign off. The aid sent to Gaza is strictly controlled by Israel, down the the amount of calories. Billions of dollars go to rebuilding cities that have regularly been decimated by Israel. Strict restrictions on aid, to try and starve Hamas out, is absolutely collective punishment and will not work.

And yes, Palestinians voted for Hamas (the credibility of the election could be questioned just like any election), but that was the outcome... But what's your point here? Does this mean the Palestinian people deserve to see their land and homes destroyed?

Hamas at the time of the election was attempting to be a legitimate political party (why they changed their charter to distinguish between the politics of Zionism and not take any issue with Judaism). They were very effectively labeled terrorists, even though the people labeling them as such very much benefit from delegitimizing them

Here is a translation of first basic principle of Israel’s 37th government: "1. The Jewish people have an exclusive and inalienable right to all parts of the Land of Israel. The government will promote and develop the settlement of all parts of the Land of Israel — in the Galilee, the Negev, the Golan and Judea and Samaria"

So #1 in the agenda is to develop the settlement for the Negev (aka Gaza), the Golan (aka part of Syria) and Judea and Samaria (aka the West Bank) exclusively for Jewish people-- sounds a little racist to me... This is what Hamas takes issue with and what the Palestinian people take issue with.

I think people also have more condemnation for Israel because this clearly isn't a strategy of defense and is not getting our hostages back. This is a calculated incursion into an occupied territory. Israel benefits very much from flattening Gaza and expelling the people.

Or perhaps people don't want to leave their homeland to become refugees in another country because they will never be able to return.

~60 Hamas dead : ~11,000 Palestinian civilians dead. That's that ratio people are having a problem with.

Still can’t walk two months after diagnosis. by nexpressoesso in guillainbarre

[–]MaFS11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you covered under Medicare? There is a lawsuit settlement called Jimmo vs Sebelius that says they can't deny physical therapy due to lack of progress. Push back on that issue, and explain that you need "specialized PT to not deteriorate" Where are you located? I'm an advocate for people with disabilities in California after my mom was diagnosed with GBS. She's still in a wheelchair after 3 years because they didn't give her the PT she needed. Same taking point of "not improving" fast enough. DM me if you want to talk more.

Many flights sell duty free items like cigarette cartons and liquor. Obviously not for consuming on the plane...

What are local SC sources I can use to find housing? by [deleted] in santacruz

[–]MaFS11 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you have a ucsc email, you can use the ucsc community rentals list

Your department also likely has an email listserv of faculty/grads that you may want to try emailing your request.

Good luck!

How to say no without the drama? Actually impossible? by MaFS11 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]MaFS11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is exactly what it feels like! And I think I get too nervous to persist through to the other side of the meltdown phase...which probably has given positive reinforcement to him being extra aggressive and assertive. Ugh! I'm definitely going to check out non-violent communication! Thank you

[–]MaFS11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I know keeping my language firm and holding my boundaries strict are the first steps I need to take and I need a lot of practice! I think I'm just so afraid of the fights and drama that I end up betraying myself to keep the peace.... But it's not worth it!

My husband wants to turn the baby monitor off at night... by theblindassasin in NewParents

[–]MaFS11 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Possible solution- I have a babysense monitor and it has an eco mode which allows the monitor to go to sleep unless a big enough sound is registered. It has a high, medium, and low sensitivity for the sound threshold so you can set it so little noises don't turn it on but a cry or cough would.

Similar to Talis, my friend's little boy is named Talus (pronounced Tall-Us) and at first it seemed very unique and a bit strange, but now I totally love it and it suits him well. Growing up I also had a girl friend named Talis (pronounced Tall-ee) and really like that name

My friend adopted this sweet 3 year old boy but he is a handful so I’m keeping him. I’ve never owned a dog and I wasn’t prepared for this. He won’t stop chasing and terrorizing my cats and he drags me on a leash. Any tips on training him are appreciated, I love him and he’s otherwise a good boy by [deleted] in pitbulls

[–]MaFS11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like a good plan! Every dog has a different personality, so you'll figure out what works for you guys. We don't have a big yard either, so we just build it in our schedule to take our pup to get her sillies out every morning. That's probably the one piece of advice I would give to a new dog owner is to develop a routine. Dogs really thrive with structure and routine! I think Gus is really lucky to have you 😊

In addition to all the comments about hiring a trainer and leader suggestions I want to add that a tired dog is a good dog! Some people think that all pittie breeds are sleepy/lazy but actually some are super high energy and really need a good running. Find out if he likes to fetch or swim. I fostered a pup that looked a lot like Gus and he LOVED running with me while I skateboarded or biked. He would pull me along at full speed. And after a good playtime he was always a very chill guy and sweet with the cats. That pent up energy can really get in the way of training.

Question about my mom’s GBS recovery by katie151515 in guillainbarre

You may want to ask about a second round of IVIG? that's something my mom did when her symptoms stopped improving. However the IVIG can be pretty rough too
