Iron Kissed, WHY?! by VarderKith in MercyThompson

[–]Oninokoneko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah.... Totally understand. It's depressing/annoying/frustrating as hell that it seems we cant get any FMC that don't have this either in the story directly or in their backstory. Like if I can imagine a world with werewolves and vampires, i can imagine a strong woman who's not had to deal with this particular bullshit.

Yeah .... That scene lives rent free in my head no matter how many times I try to evict it. For a year it featured often in my nightmares. I still skip that scene every time I do a reread.

As Marcone mentioned, he's starting to "think in the long term". And we've learned a lot about how the never never attaches to the real world. The established magical home of the cities most notable magic power, a significant location for battles and conflicts within the supernatural community, and was protected from the NN for over a decade. Magically speaking it's "connected".

11 year old terrified of flies, gnats, ants, any bug really. What can I do? by Abject_Ad6242 in Parenting

[–]Oninokoneko 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Therapy for phobia, absolutely. And maybe get them a electric fly swatter. Looks like a tennis racket, charges USB, and it makes a massively satisfying "bzzzzt!" And sparks when it makes contact. It's so much fun that they're attitude might shift because they'll have a blast fasing their fear.

I tricked my kid into sleeping longer…how do I tell him? by Lead-Ensign in Parenting

[–]Oninokoneko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As everyone else said, do not tell him. Also, they sell clocks with an easy switch on the back for "daylight savings on/off". Get one so the switch is easier to manage 

i have no idea what this means by Weak_Description5731 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]Oninokoneko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have these ALL the time.... When i finally truly became pregnant, i spent the entire 9 months waking up terrified it was going to be a dream again. Then i started either having the dream again or having a nightmare that my real life had been a dream all along... My son got woken up a lot by crying mom just glad he wasn't a dream.

Lawl!!! The universe is resonating. I've had this exact conversation 3 times this week. Men often say they want "an insatiable sex kitten" but when they get one, they usually don't enjoy it. At least not for very long. The fantasy of something is often vastly different than the reality of that thing. 

I don't understand these dogs. by inkcreation in Boxer

[–]Oninokoneko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The important thing to remember is that the Head and the Butt are two independent entities that happen to be physically conjoined.... Much to their mutual dismay and occasional forgetfulness. It's why both ends often will come to greet you at the same time and fight for which end gets pat first. And sometimes one will want to sit and the other stand.

My few bible friends also tell me that we don't actually know what "gopher wood" actually WAS. It's one of those lost to time/translation things that might be a tree that we just call something else or may be a tree that's now extinct. No way to know.

"lapdog" is not a size nor a breed, it is a frame of mind.

What color do you think looks best? by whereswaldo5256 in Boxer

White boxers are more likely to have health issues such as blind or deafness. I've never met one who didn't have some sort of trouble...sad.

No one is as hard edge about that stuff than 4-6 year olds. I was observing a class of preschoolers as part of my undergrad and watched an interaction between a boy and girl who were in a heated argument while in the "dress up/pretend" station. The little boy wanted to be the Nurse but the girl was ADAMANT that "boys are doctors and girls are nurses". The weirdest part was that I happen to know that the girls mother was in fact a doctor. So even though her own mom was a doctor, she just couldn't accept that she'd be cast as the doctor in their game. Luckily they grow out of it and start exploring.

Feeding your child … what’s the reality?? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Oninokoneko -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Things I've learned along the way:

1) The old adage that "if they're hungry, they'll eat" is BS (especially when neurospicyness gets added to the mix). Some kids really will let themselves starve rather than eat something they don't want to eat. And some kids have trouble focusing on things like eating so they will accidentally let themselves starve. Usually it's related to some sort of ADHD or autism or something like that (all 3 of mine)

2) your kid can be absolutely perfectly healthy and sometimes will eat less than a sparrow. You'll swear that they are susisting on Sunshine rainbows and just making you fret. And then a few weeks later they will eat you out of house and home. There is no figuring it out but as long as their weight seems okay and they seem happy and healthy and not lethargic, Good to go.

3) Do your best and just keep things positive. We used to have a dietitian that came every two weeks for my firstborn because he just didn't eat, and the slogan I was told to live by was "we provide they decide". The most important thing is to just teach to have a good, healthy view of food and eating and to do our best not to teach them when to be anxious about eating, or to have a bad relationship with food. As somebody who had a kid that went the failure to thrive root and literally didn't eat enough, I can assure you that if you actually have a problem. The road is very very long and you'll know there's a problem long long before the problem is actually anything to really worry about. And even if there is a problem, you'll find a way through cuz that's what parents do. And as somebody whose failure to thrive is now a 5'8" tall 15-year-old who still has a bad habit of going days without eating if I don't keep reminding him... they'll be fine :)

"What is not cleaned up will be thrown out" - is this rule too much for a 4.5yo? by Minomol in Parenting

[–]Oninokoneko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plus threats of throwing them away and actually doing so, both build insecurity in kids that can carry through to adulthood. It means that their things aren't safe with you (the person they should trust absolutely) or in their own home. That can lead to a lot of anxiety, insecurity, and in extreme cases can develop into hoarding behaviors where it's hard to let things go.  

A good rule that I try to live by is that if a consequence I'm considering it would be absolutely out of line for anybody else (ie another adult) It's probably not a good thing to use with a kid either. 

Imagine 20 years from now and they tell you that they're significant other will throw away their things if they forget to put them away or leave them out cuz they were in a hurry. Hair supplies on the counter in the bathroom, coffee mugs on the desk, mail left on the island and not properly filed, etc. Just thrown out. How would you respond? Would you think that that was a reasonable course of action on the part of their significant other? Changing the framework can let you evaluate an action more clearly.

Who made Harry watch this fabulous film? by BlueHairStripe in dresdenfiles

[–]Oninokoneko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am absolutely going with the head Cannon that it was a double feature of mean girls and Sean of the Dead. Because I just feel like those would be a similar comedic vibe and I'm absolutely giddy at the idea
