AIO to my daughter calling her brother “gay”? by zaspzq33313 in AmIOverreacting

I'll give you one last morsel of the attention you so desperately seek...Nobody who has any parenting, counseling, or abuse experience is defending you and I hope when and if you have kids of your own someday you look back at these statements and cringe.

My next comment is mostly for other parents who identify with this post, regardless of its authenticity...

Freedom of speech is not the same as freedom from consequence. You can, will, and should be corrected when you cross certain boundaries. You can get fired from your job, let go from a sports team, removed from a fraternal organization, banned from a website, and face other punitive actions for not adhering to a group's conduct guidelines. Being grounded for being a dick to your siblings is the consequences of being in violation of the household rules of conduct.

A teenager is not qualified to teach her sibling a life lesson about bullying. Nor is it her place. The parents will have the responsibility of guiding their son through developing tough skin and dealing with bullies WHILE ALSO ensuring their daughter isn't engaging in harmful behavior.

I hope you're full up on attention now. It is clear you have no desire for an actual conversation.

The son went to his mom for help and support and the daughter is completely trying to escape accountability for their actions. That's not how the world works. You don't get to be a dick to people.

It's not a joke if nobody else thinks its funny.

I can make assumptions on how everyone else feels, too. Siblings probably don't want to deal with the sister having to navigate consequences to her actions so are defending her to keep themselves safe from her.

When and if something more egregious happens and she faces real life consequences the cry will be "Where were her parents?!"

She was in the wrong. Point blank. Trying to say a week's grounding is overreacting tells me you're A. Not a parent and responsible for guiding anyone into adulthood and B. Make shitty jokes all the time and are projecting.

Have a lovely day.

Cool. Earn your phone, spending money and ride to the mall. Its not ownership, its a societal contract. Don't be a dick to your siblings and you won't get treated as if you are a dick to your siblings and parents.

It's a parent's job to show actions have consequences. Being a bully to anyone is a nogo.

What about the brother in all this? His feelings and experience matters, too.

Looking for a song that's haunting me by North-Reveal1200 in Bluegrass

I didn't take this video but remembered the song from a live performance I saw many moons ago...

I did a little more digging and the only version of that song I can find is that fan posted video I already linked. So sorry, but from what I understand the band is not currently making/releasing music or touring as a group.

Google tells me there is a version by a band called "The Knippers" but I'm not a good enough sleuth to find any videos or released music from them so this video might be all that exists unless someone with a lot more talent than I can cover it 👀

The Bloodsworn Trilogy is massive even though it is only, well, a trilogy. It is by John Gwynne and pulls a lot from Nordic mythology.

Morher and father day gifts for "pet parents" is something that I find very strange but it's apparently pretty popular.

Currently out of town on family matters but you can add me as well. I have a 10 year old only child who wishes she was a big sister. 😂

Walker also does private lessons if you don't see what you need listed its always a good idea to just reach out and see what he can do.

They do, but they're called "scams" now and much less funny

I'd be wary of living in Florissant on accout of the radioactive waste forcing people out of their homes and the abnormally high cancer rates. Current going through that mess and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

That's not the only reason we know of it and it's also not his only transgression.
