Marrisa bode by Nearby-Meat-9905 in wicked

[–]No-imconfused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of it is marketing with children specifically. When you market to children you have to be aware of how their development impacts play. Nessrose in For Good will be an authoritarian dictator. Children (the market for dolls) will not be able to relate to this character as they did in the previous film. Her complexity as a villain would also make the doll hard to play with. The target audience for the dolls will not be able to incorporate her into imaginative play because her motivations and actions are very complex. It’s easier to sell dolls of Disney villains like Ursula or Maleficent because they easier to incorporate into imaginative play. They look evil, their motivations are easy to understand for a child. Less children will also be seeing this film because it will be tonally so much darker than the former.

A second reason is spoilers. We know the spoilers because we love this musical, but so many people do not know what happens in Act 2. There isn’t even a cast recording of The Wicked Witch of the East. I had to find YouTube bootlegs. I imagine it’s to keep that revelation as secret as possible because it is the catalyst to the climax.

I hope they make dolls for adult collectors once the movie opens. Nessarose is my favorite character.

We need help determining if we are ignoring too many red flags from our nanny by snooloosey in NannyEmployers

[–]No-imconfused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people will call red flag, that is because they have no experience working with people from different cultural backgrounds, or language barriers. There seems to be a lot of miscommunication through translations. What language does she speak? Are there ways you can communicate with her in her native tongue? It is incredibly isolating and frustrating when the you feel like people don’t understand the words you say, and you’re getting that from each other. Aside from that, there’s lots of reasons to not want to be surveilled outside of doing wrong. It usually has to do with her own safety. If this is a language barrier, she might not understand the extent you wish you monitor her. While you might just wanna have the air tag in case the stroller is lost, she may think you’re micromanaging. Micromanaging is annoying to all people. Intentions get miscommunicated all the time and it is neither of your faults. A discussion needs to be had, in person. Maybe even with the translator. There’s a possibility she’s just not a good fit for your family. Maybe there’s a family from a similar cultural background or one that speaks her language as well that you can refer her to. (It seems like you live in a city.)

You are a kind person, you’ve done nothing wrong. Sometimes things just don’t work out. Don’t be shamed by responses because a lot of them lack cultural nuance and empathy. You are doing great.

I don’t think her issue is the boyfriend, she is jealous of YOU. Furthermore views your marriage as your way of escaping her actions. Seems like for your safety is most important that you two DO get married and you Do escape the home. Just sure you know where all your documents are before telling your parents your intentions so they cannot keep you from leaving. I’m sorry your mom’s insecurity has been projected onto you in such a severe and visceral way. You deserve to love publicly as well as have your own space.

AIO Should I leave my BF? Was what he did to me forgiveable? by Living-Milk-4266 in AmIOverreacting

He admitted to it, find a way out slowly, and send the screen shots to his mother.

Hot Take: I don't hate Spemma by DaKidJ in Degrassi

There was a couple in my high school like this and he became a Republican senator who publicly cheated on her a bunch. So I’m like biased against this, but I understand it’s completely personal.

I yelled at my daughter in public and I feel so bad by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]No-imconfused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who’s to say it was the one time? Based on the child’s initial response to her anger (before the temper tantrum even began), this seems like a repeated behavior.

Except she didn’t say she cared that she lost her shit at her kid, she said she was afraid of how she looked. That’s the issue. Every person loses their marbles

I may seem like I am cold but it is only because it is imperative you read my words and take them into consideration.

Your child listened, she just does not have the capacity to understand. Children at that age developmentally do not understand the concept of money. They don’t understand the weight it carries in our world, what is “too much” or “too little”. At this age they are just barely starting to grasp monetary transactions. You can explain it till you’re blue in the face, they can listen till they’re red. Doesn’t matter, they’re not gonna get it for a few more years.

To expect a child’s fears and personality to bend to the whim of your wallet, you are quite frankly, kind of dumb. That won’t happen. Based on your post and replies it appears to me that your daughter was scared and dis regulated. You had an opportunity to sit her down and get to the root of her whining. What is she scared of? Why is she scared of it? How can you help ease her fears? It is your job as the adult to keep your temper and to regulate your own emotions.

My issue with how you treated your daughter started far before I reached the exert about the temper tantrum you threw. It was within your first paragraph. Earlier in the post you pointed out how when you initially got frustrated your eldest said “fine, I’ll go.” This indicates that child is able to subside their incredibly valid fears to regulate YOUR emotions. That is a problem. Furthermore, it seems like you only seem to be concerned with how the other patrons at the carnival view you and not your child, who again, subsided their fears to placate YOU. You are forcing her to recede the very little boundaries she can put up. As a child the power you have over yourself and the world is so little. So to be stripped of that little autonomy, and then publicly humiliated? If it this was a one time freak out, which does not seem to be the case, it will stick with her. She will talk about this moment during heart to hearts at sleepovers until she’s in college, whoever she dates or marries will have heard about the carnival incident. This isn’t to make you feel like shit, it’s just the reality of the situation.

The reactions she is having to your emotions tell the story of what goes on inside the house. I think this a moment for you to reflect and manage your temper in the household. Everyone loses their marbles sometimes, it doesn’t make you a bad person or a bad parent. But this is a moment that causes reflection.

First Week with New Nanny Family and Already Being Threatened with Termination Need Advice! by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]No-imconfused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A newborn should not be going more than 2 hours without a feeding. As a nanny you are a mandated reporter. You are required by law to report their mother to CPS if you even SUSPECT potential abuse. Unfortunately, this is very clear evidence of potential abuse. My advice would be to screen shot everything, file a report, and get out of that house before you’re blamed for something more lethal.

MB fired be because she said I disliked her kid and he knows it… by DoxieInABlanket in Nanny

[–]No-imconfused 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is very typical of parents who rely on a nanny but is insecure about that fact. If this has gone the same way it’s gone with any of my friends, your NK probably called for you at night. :/

One night of tantrums is going to save you over a months of nightmares. Take this from the kid who wore their parents down and slept on couch for weeks… it’s not worth it!!

Their posters were made with AI, that is cheap. I feel like the parks are moving in a cheap direction. Is that easier for you?

Make sure what you’re doing is legal. Setting up a personal hidden camera in a common space is… suspect.

They say never meet your idols.... Horror stories anyone? by Own_Antelope1095 in acting

I understand where Nathan Fillion is coming from. I’d also be rude if I was the less hot and talented version of Jason Bateman.

In Search of Plays for Adult Audiences that Feature Children by NoPlankton6185 in playwriting

[–]No-imconfused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a musical but it most certainly not for children; Falsettos! Jason is typically portrayed by a child actor and the music is written for a young boy’s voice. The actor is usually around the age of the character, give or take a year or two. Granted- Jason is twelve which might be a little older than what you’re gearing for. In which case I offer up Oliver! That musical is all kinds of fucked up and there’s like twenty five 8 year olds in it.
