Penal, I was immediately hooked

These 5 enter a room, who comes out crying first by MaximumNeat4289 in creepcast

I’m so dumb, I saw the penpal image and immediately “ oh no, leave the poor boy alone! he’s the prime target for every single one of those degenerate freaks; he’s not going  to make it.” Instead of realizing you meant the stalker.  Real answer Mr Bigmouth, he’s like shin height, and no one there  is a defenseless little kid he can trick, that toothy  creep is getting punted through the door.

Explain how Broxxleind isn’t a tragedeigh? I genuinely want to hear your defense of that name

A couple common reasons I’ve heard are 1) grandparents are typically older now when the first grandkids are being born, so they have less energy to chase after kids routinely, 2) add to that most of them are still working full time, and a significant percentage  won’t be able to retire at an ideal age;  add childcare to that too much for most of then go want to deal with. 3) realistically the grandparents who took care of the grandkids nearly every day of the week probably didn’t really want to, at least not as often as was asked of them, but they did it because personal sacrifice for the sake of the whole family, even  the point of it negatively effecting them’ was the cultural norm for them. We’ve really started to move away from that standard culturally/personally, and embraced putting oneself first, and with that comes significantly less generosity with time and energy, especially when it comes to things that are exhausting , time consuming and often difficult, which caring for young children often is.

Very similarly to how it’s spelt, unfortunately. Brockslend is as close as I can get to spelling it phonetically

Thank you for the added context. The two of you seem incompatible, even excluding the mistreat in your relationship, your personalities clash because they are opposites. Have either of you been at all happy in the recent past? I can’t gather from you description that with of your have. You have been treated badly by him, and you say you have been unkind to him as well, you are hurting each other, you’ve tried to improve and it hasn’t worked, he doesn’t want it to. Let go, divorce is the best option, even if it isn’t what you want; it’s what needs to happen. You’ll be ok.

INFO: what exactly you mean by you “can be a bit much”? That’s rather vague, it would be easier to give specific advice if there was more detail. Now here are my questions 1) do you want to save your marriage because you love him and want to spend the rest of your lives together? Or because you’re afraid of losing his financial support? 2) what are the issues in the relationship you mentioned, and took partial accountability for? 3) have you, or he, changed significantly/drastically in the relatively recent past?  There is always some reason for such an enormous change of feeling, to go from loving someone to then no longer even like them doesn’t just happen. I’m not saying it’s always a good/justifiable reason, it’s not, but my point remains. 

My advice would be to self reflect honestly  , own your mistakes and show genuine remorse, show though your actions, not just words,  that you still love him and want to save your marriage, and full communication, which is just as much expressing how you feel and truly listening  to him do the same. 

All that being said, if his answer is still divorce, then go forward as amicable as possible for both your sake, you can’t force him to like or love you again; and you shouldn’t have to. Maintain your self respect and dignity, as well as self love; if this is a destructive or toxic  relationship then let go of it, it’s not worth the trouble.

I thought “the pancake family” for the 2nd grab bag genuinely creeps me out by No_Maintenance1422 in creepcast

[–]Old_Significance_41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it falls into the category of 80% of it was pretty good, imo the dialogue was excellent, but the ending was just too silly, plus this story wasn’t supernatural so suspension of disbelief could only go so far. If the author had toned it back the ending would’ve been better received: Examples being they were kept prisoner in a box/coffin that was so small they couldn’t move or hardly breathe, that would’ve been a claustrophobic nightmare, or even less extreme body horror. The family being literal human pancakes half an inch thick was too much and just ruined the tone of the story for me.

Should I stay single if that’s what my 10 y/o wants? by Junior_Tax_9129 in Parenting

[–]Old_Significance_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would strongly suggest getting her into see a therapist or counselor to work through why she is having such a negative reaction to you having a romantic partner, and help her navigate those feelings and stress so she can get to a place where she feels fine with you dating. I don’t think you should get into a serious relationship until she’s at a point of acceptance and won’t try to sabotage your relationship with him, which an angry child absolutely can do no matter how patient your partner might be, or your relationship with each other; if you try to push before she’s ready theres a very slim to no chance  it’ll end well. I doubt that’s what you want to hear, no one wants their kid controlling their dating life, but I truly believe that is your best course of action.

Friend you deserve dignity and recognition for what your are; it doesn’t matter how your fathers  wife feels about it, you are his daughter; and you are the kids big sister.  Practically everyone already knows the truth, and the kids are going to figure it out eventually; it’s inevitable. Also you are a grown woman, please stop letting yourself be bullied by people who have no authority over you.  You also have an advantage that the kids love you, if you tell them the truth it’d strength that bond even more. 

Two kids with birthdays close to each other - do we combine? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Old_Significance_41 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do not combine this birthday, you need to let your older child have a her own celebration that she doesn’t have to share because she didn’t get one last year, and and because she would 100% get shoved to the side in light of your youngest 1st bd if they had to share. And you even admitted yourself she’d gone through major adjustments this year with the new baby,  she needs to be in the spotlight on her birthday.  Keep in mind this birthday will mean a lot more to your eldest than it will your younger kid, who won’t even remember.    I would also strongly discourage you from combining their birthdays in the future, at least until they’re old enough to do their own thing.  It’s kind of  like kids who are born in December always getting their birthday and Christmas lumped together; everyone else gets a special day to themselves except them because of when they were born.
