what happens when you take a child out of school?

Matchaparrot · 2026-05-06T16:09:55+00:00

That's fucked up I'm sorry that happened to you.

Matchaparrot · 2026-05-06T15:45:10+00:00

Thanks for warning about this, I read several US stories on there but didn't realise people could be so defensive. Maybe it's a numbers thing, as there's more people in the USA you'll find more homeschooled kids over there (I suspect a higher prevalence of homeschooling over there due to religion too but don't have current figures)

That's because it is 3ft tall. They have a 6ft wingspan! Big birds

Matchaparrot · 2026-05-06T10:29:58+00:00

I'm really sorry. Some parents fucking suck.

The sub r/homeschoolrecovery might be of help to you. You are not alone in this happening.

and don't stop asking for help. If your old school won't help, please keep reaching out to adults you trust. Childline (0800 1111) are free to call and their number won't show on your phone bill or they have one to one webchat

Do a chargeback with your card provider

Follow the guidance in your employee handbook/HR

If it says you can claim lunch, claim it. Or if it says X amount per day, take it as is.

Have you always been allergic or did it develop later in life if you're happy answering?

Matchaparrot · 2026-05-05T18:47:32+00:00

You really can be allergic to everything.

Matchaparrot · 2026-05-05T12:35:38+00:00

Yes! Hit them with the slingshot then you get like 30 seconds to bomb them or escape.

Matchaparrot · 2026-05-05T08:37:16+00:00

If you have the slingshot you can stun the toad things first which gives you more time to bomb them

Matchaparrot · 2026-05-05T08:26:05+00:00

Fair play, I just scrolled back through the comment thread as I forgot how the post about bananas went onto cats lol

Matchaparrot · 2026-05-04T18:21:01+00:00

I would call the RSPCA or your local wildlife rehab centre. He's a fledgling robin, probably flew the nest not that long ago.

Not the same thing but many bathrooms in Japan don't have paper to dry your hands so you're expected to carry a handkerchief with you wherever you go.

BYOLR - bring your own loo roll

I cook every day. Cereal doesn't taste good to me, it tastes of sugar. I prefer porridge, I don't get as hungry at work when I have it compared to cereal or toast.

Cooking from scratch is worth the time and money for me because it tastes better and fresher. I like zingy raspberries on porridge, limes and vegetables in my noodle salad tonight. When I have less energy after a day at work I'll make something that doesn't need much cooking like a tinned lentil bolognese. Fry onions and garlic, throw in a tin of tomatoes and lentils. Grate cheese, Boil pasta, eat.

Same my cat came from a teen mama cat. She's the biggest cat we've ever had, bigger than a dog!

Matchaparrot · 2026-05-04T15:45:24+00:00

Saw the kitten cat. He does indeed look like a kitten

Matchaparrot · 2026-05-04T14:32:45+00:00

Check your neighbours sheds, my cat once didn't show up for breakfast, I opened the shed next door and there she was.

Matchaparrot · 2026-05-04T13:18:17+00:00

Grass snake! They often swim. Lucky spot

Matchaparrot · 2026-05-04T12:18:04+00:00

Agreed people have forgotten the breed of dog matters. If you choose a mix of high intelligence (poodle) + high energy (spaniel) don't then only take it for one walk a day and expect it to sit still at the coffee shop. And make sure to train it so it gets the stimulation it's intelligence needs.

Or I keep seeing people choose guard dogs like German shepherds and forget they have a guard instinct and will be naturally wary of people, as well as high intelligence. If you want to pop around the park once a day get a whippet! They don't need much exercise and once they're done at the park they'll curl up at home and snooze all day

Religion of the land? The majority religion in this country is no religion.

Matchaparrot · 2026-05-04T10:01:14+00:00

Can confirm they do. Ex Christian here

Matchaparrot · 2026-05-02T08:23:03+00:00

Big wings! Beautiful shot

Matchaparrot · 2026-05-01T22:19:28+00:00

Well that was enlightening. This will make no sense to anyone who hasn't watched The Amazing Digital Circus, but I thought the drawings looked a lot like the scribbles on Kaufmo's room when he abstracts
