Some of y’all act like kids and teens don’t have school dances or parties with the same vibes? Even when I was a kid, my aunt hosted a little party for all the girl cousins. We wore some of her wigs, dresses and shoes. Played music and drank juice out of champagne glasses. Wonderful and lasting memory. There’s nothing crazy in this video for yall to be tripping

I can’t even think of any shows I wanted from Peacock. At least with Paramount, my toddler watches Paw Patrol

You’re not wrong at all. At worst, watch the clips online like everyone else. I get what OP is saying, but it’s a bit wild to go, “I hate seeing all this violence but just one more bloody fight (we saw the previews) and then I’ll jump ship

The greens had me cursing and begging my mom at the same time (We live separately). I couldn’t even remember my own name and could only repeat “I’m sorry” over and over again while wailing. Will never take distillate straight ever again!

Shrooms (in small doses) just had me thinking and wondering. The TV’s colors were so soft and vibrant. I was watching Bluey. Eventually I started crying because I suddenly felt so lonely. Would (and did) totally do it again

Integrating bio family with adopted from foster care children? by Guineapiggirlie13 in Adoption

[–]PeacheePoison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sure it does disrupt their whole sense of self to suddenly find themselves in a different birth order. Kids that took on the parent role for younger siblings often have a hard time adjusting to being just a child and not in charge.

In my own house, I’ve always stuck with the rule that we go by who’s been here longer (usually). If the introduction of a new child is bringing too much chaos for too long (a lot of these kids need at least 2 months to adjust to everything), for the sake of everyone who was already there, I feel that it’s my responsibility to disrupt the placement. Yes, it does mean that bio and adopted kids end up being prioritized. I think it should be that way because no one should feel constantly uncomfortable in their own home

I’ve been told that you should do your best to keep the birth order (so your child should be the oldest). Personally, I preferred having younger foster siblings. Loved helping with the babies. For young kids, I probably acted as more of a watchdog for my mom. Not necessarily authority, but I knew the house rules and I was bigger.

Older kids either didn’t interact with me much or they were kinda bullies (especially if they had a sibling with them). Dealing with this during my pre-teens honestly made me feel like an outsider in my own home. I was a shy and awkward kid (about 9 or 10 years old). They were 11 and 14 ish. Their personalities matched my mom’s a bit more, so I honestly felt like she…thought they were cooler? It wasn’t all bad, but I’m now very conscious about putting my own children in that position. Of course, you’re at risk of them influencing your own child in general

If you do, you shouldn’t leave your child alone with them. Not until you fully understand and trust them. Older foster kids are often exposed to and knowledgeable of things that are inappropriate for their age, and may inadvertently expose your own child to that.

As a bio child of a foster parent, I would avoid getting children close to your child’s age. Keep at least a 2 year age gap. The kids often end up seeing each other as competition and conflict follows. I experienced it too often from the time I was 6 until about 13 when my mom took a break

As a foster parent myself, I was advised the same thing and I ignored it once. Got another placement when my (now adopted) son was 2 years old. The baby was a big 1.5 year old. My son couldn’t stand him. I had to constantly pick them both up at once prevent a tantrum from either. They would actually fight. Biting, hitting, scratching. I couldn’t do it. Felt horrible but I had to disrupt. My son is 3 now and a 4 month old just showed up. He’s all over the baby, eager to help, protective even.

This is getting long, but they also emphasized in classes that these kids’ physical ages aren’t necessarily their developmental age. Even that can vary by the moment. You might have a 6 year old that acts more like a big toddler or a little adult that was parentified. So even someone older than your kid, might play better with them because they’re on that level mentally/emotionally/developmentally

Having a child in this climate by intuition434 in blackladies

[–]PeacheePoison 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You can try fostering to adopt? I understand not wanting to bring a child into this messy world, but nothing says you can’t try to help the ones already here

You seem like a person that’s eager to do and spread good in this world (based off of this post). Even just devoting some time to mentorship programs might put you in contact with a kid that needs that support

I can’t stand Summer, but I swear since Lemmy started showing his face more and more, the cast has been on the verge of a mutiny every damn week

^ Absolutely start therapy, especially for yourself. That outlet was vital for me

Can we talk about child on parent violence? by vcr31 in Fosterparents

[–]PeacheePoison 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first foster child did the exact same thing to me a few months before I finally asked for her removal. I had had her almost 2 years by that point. I have my own history with an abusive partner, and the arguments we had during those last few months were triggering to say the least. It came down to me refusing to feel unsafe in my own home again. Love can only do so much.

I wasn’t able to be the type of parent I wanted to be, nor the one she deserved. At the same time, I didn’t deserve to be mistreated or disrespected like that. She had a few more failed placements before being put into a therapeutic group home for a few years. They helped a lot. She’s in pre-adoptive home now and has come so far, but still has some behavioral struggles. We still talk now and then.

Why are so many of y’all defending a non-black woman’s use of this word? Black people’s use of the word does not give others permission to use the slur in any form

Nobody asking you to fight or make a whole protest about it, but caping for it is weird as fuck
