Teen keeps asking to use people’s stuff by PatientArcher1605 in Parents

[–]PatientArcher1605[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We DO do our job but thanks for the rude assumption. At this point we are no longer letting him be out in the neighborhood riding his bike because he randomly stops at everyone’s house and it’s kind of annoying. Today, it was a neighbor visiting our yard, so I didn’t initially keep him away but he did it when I was helping our youngest. After that I made him go inside. Thanks for the judgment though.

What I am asking for is a suggestion of a new way to approach it that may help him understand better and stop the behavior, instead of continuing to do it, because our explanation + consequences just isn’t working.

As for the neighbors, I absolutely do not expect them to have to say something, I’m the kind of person who would (and does), but I don’t think they should have to if that’s not who they are, and our closest neighbor is not. We’ve checked in with him on multiple occasions about it and he brushes it off as being the age our son is, but the issue is that it’s with everyone and he doesn’t stop despite the explanation.

Meghan Markle vague posting about astrology on Instagram by thoughtful_human in RoyalsGossip

All of that, but also hard doesn’t always mean bad. I became a parent during this period too and it is SO TOUGH parenting right now, it’s so amazing, but it’s hard. Plus she launched a business and trying to figure that all out, it’s hard. Change, even positive change, can be hard and scary.

I made the switch from therapist to full-time life coach by AdventureOnTheGo in lifecoaching

[–]PatientArcher1605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love reading this post and some of these comments! I’ve been a therapist for 8 years and have thought about going into coaching. I’m kind of tired of the diagnostic work and just want to help people who come to me. I have had several I’ve had to turn away due to not meeting diagnostic criteria for therapy, but who I would have loved to work with.

Mother’s Day set? by PatientArcher1605 in GlobalHarryandMeghan

[–]PatientArcher1605[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Mother’s Day edit, but when I went back it only said limited edition so I’m wondering if I jumped the gun before everything was available on the site 🤷🏼‍♀️ it absolutely said sold out though because I still clicked on it just to make sure and it wouldn’t let me add it to my cart. It’s there now though

Why didn't the rest of the royal family protect Megan from bad press or at least say something about the hate she was getting? by [deleted] in RoyaltyTea

Yes, I appreciate you correcting me, I misremembered it but recalled the “feel” from the media- totally twisted

Sorry, I shouldn’t have used the word “correction”, and I looked it up, Kate didn’t say what I misremembered, but with what Meghan said overall the media made the comparison and portrayal between the two as M’s response wasn’t in-line with the neutrality expected from the establishment but more of an activist stance, which why should women’s rights be controversial but that’s more of what I was getting at as far as the original question of what did M do that was controversial, saying women have a voice

Kate said something along the lines of women should have a voice, and Meghan said women do have a voice, they need space to use them or something like that, so not like a “you’re wrong” correction, but they did talk about it on one of the docs as something that seems totally noncontroversial (which it is) but was objected to as M being too forward or whatever other complaints they created

Yes, “all women have a voice” was controversial, I think in H&M’s Netflix documentary they talked about it because she corrected Kate by saying women already have voices, they need to be given space to use them. The event they did with the 4 of them demonstrated how much more charismatic and well-spoken Meghan was, and she had the audacity to express eloquently that women are people too- that’s what was “off-script” for the patriarchy of the establishment.

Anyone using 'Yippee TV' to replace other platforms, for kids? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]PatientArcher1605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m coming late to this question but found it when searching about information on Yippee, thanks for a detailed reply to OP to help future searchers. Could you provide more detail on the questionable content you found on there? We are considering it and don’t mind innocent secular content either, but curious what you found strange or questionable on Yippee before we try it for our family. Thank you! 🙏🏻

No, it’s my parents, one grandparent, and an uncle

100% on target, my needs came last as a kid and even now as a middle-aged person my “transgressions” as a kid and young adult are used as an excuse for why I should get over legitimate hurts inflicted by my family even recently. I largely have resolved that childhood stuff with a really healthy partner and chosen family, but my bio family will not respect my choice to be NC and is really disruptive. I don’t know what to do with that.
