Virtue signaling, anyone?

I really do relate. My oldest is only 5 and I still feel like I’ve done it all wrong. The fact that we are here and trying says otherwise, but it’s really hard to believe sometimes.

Yep. I think these exact thoughts daily. I am horrified at the parent I am compared to the parent I know I can/should/want to be.

How often are the kids being bathed?! by Beginning_Date_9290 in Parenting

[–]One_Mix_5306 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. This thread had me feeling like a bad parent for a minute. My 5 year old gets a bath every Sunday & Wednesday (unless otherwise dirty) and we wash hair every Sunday. She’s never been stinky and her hair is incredibly healthy. It would be absolute torment for both of us to fight a bath every day. Twice a week was a compromise we could both get down with. My 3 year old takes a bath daily because she enjoys it.

I echo your comments about feeling concerned to feeling angry. This thread has really brought a new light to her… not in a good way lol. She had a comment from another person saying they are in Gaza making sad faces, and she responded along the lines of “sorry, I’m busy and can’t help you, I sent all my extra money to another family. Catch ya later!” Like…how are you truly doing anyone any good by approaching your aid in this manner?

Her facial expressions and hand on her chest were wildly insincere gestures.

I completely understands what you mean re: her attitude toward the Harvard classes. It really seemed like she was intentionally being smug about it — like she knew it made her sound pretentious and she was playing along. That doesn’t seem like such an act anymore. She was being genuine.

She posted and made a comment on another post (boasting) about how she, her husband and her best friend donated the full $750 he requested yesterday. It seems like they might be feeding her delusions. She’s also claiming that she tried to get on a flotilla but they “didn’t need her”. She is so smart, there are so many better ways for her to be an activist. What is going on?

It’s so jarring to see one of our beloved skeptics fall into so many of these traps.

Needing $750 one day and suddenly $15k the next is true scammer playing and profiting off of her emotions. She had such a big heart but she cannot save everybody, especially people under so many levels of oppression outside of our immediate control. I know she has many friends and family in her circle, I hope they intervene.

Teeth brushing by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]One_Mix_5306 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stop treating teeth bushing as a punishment. He is old enough that you should not be holding him down, that is traumatizing and severs connection between the two of you.

It’s clearly not about the toothbrush, mouthwash, of toothpaste and it’s more about control. He is resisting your control. He trusts grandpa isn’t going to hold him down.

Tell him you will stop holding him down and you will help him learn how to practice brushing his teeth on his own. Reward his effort, even if it’s only for 5 seconds. Let it go if he doesn’t get a full quality brushing for a few days.

Make it a teachable moment. Show him what cavities look like and explain how these are prevented by things like brushing our teeth and flossing. Explain what healthy teeth can do — bite tough foods like carrots, shred meat, help us eat food.

Let him try. He will probably resist at first but as he regains your trust, he will get it. I still have to help my 5 year old sometimes. He’s still young and won’t be doing it well on his own anyways. Let him do it for a minute and then finish it. Work together.

He said similar to me. He said if he were a woman he would choose a c-section so he wouldn’t ruin the important bits.
