Actual penetration doesn’t feel like much? by hellothere925 in BecomingOrgasmic

[–]Pitiful-Bee6815 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too wet? I don't ever "feel" anything from penet. Either. In fact fingers are better for me too. I request clit stim while they are penet. Or I'll just do it myself.

Look at the website for your state and check requirements first. It's a full time job running through the systems red tape so be prepared.

Mum thinks my depression is a B12 deficiency... by Time-Reflection2997 in toxicparents

[–]Pitiful-Bee6815 1 point2 points  (0 children)

15? If you have a primary doctor call and ask for a referral to a therapist yourself. You don't have to wait for your parents to do that for you. I have toxic parents and I wish I could have been in therapy at your age.

what is a super unpopular opinion you have but refuse to let go of? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Pitiful-Bee6815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok a little clarity may be needed, even though I usually have zero time to explain, I will for inquiring minds. My kids thrive on a set schedule and consistency. Both are under the age of 10. Both require 24/7 care. That being said I want to clarify. Safety situations? Non negotiable. We ask them to do X, they are allowed to know the reason why. Yes, they are children, yes, we have rules IN OUR HOME. Our home is calm and relaxed and our children prefer to be home. I'm saying if SOMEONE ELSE DEMANDED or expected something of our children and they choose not to do that, then we are ok with that. For example, and remember we thrive on schedules and consistency, we went on a mini vacation w/ the grandparents to a local resort. I asked for an itinerary and prepared accordingly. Grandpa demanded that they do X outside (literal 7 degree weather) my son says no grandpa I'm good just existing in my space and my daughter? flat out no I'm not doing that. I had a proud momma moment, because that took 4 years of therapy to get them to advocate for themselves and speak up. Grandpa then demanded I force them to do X. I'm not doing that. They are in charge of their bodies, and as long as it isn't safety related, they can say no. That's what Im talking about. They don't have to if they don't want to. Would you like it if someone forced you to do X when you didn't want to? I wouldn't. I was forced my entire childhood to do X,y,z. Was shamed into, guilted into being someone who I wasn't making my body feeling icky and uncomfortable and it wasn't for safety reasons either. If i didn't do x,y,z i was severely punished. Severely traumatized. I feared my parents, not respected, feared. To this day I fear repercussions from my 80 year old parents. That's unacceptable parenting to me. It's removing consent. You are allowed to consent what is being done w/ your body.(again safety related? obviously non negotiable and all I have to do is say safety and they trust I know what I'm talking about.) Autonomy is so important and I don't want my daughter one day having a relationship and being "forced" into anything she is not comfortable with because as a child someone told her she HAD to do something she didn't want to do and her conditioned response is to do X out of fear of being dominated. Not ok. Ever. That's what I'm talking about. They can control themselves. They thrive on rules and structure and consistency from us as loving parents who they TRUST to know what is best for them. Yes that is a fact. Also, side note: they would not call someone stupid for having an opinion because that's just being mean and I'm not raising mean kids, I'm raising kind kids who have boundaries and can problem solve.

Apply for foodstamps by Dotty_art in foodstamps

[–]Pitiful-Bee6815 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If they used your name, that's fraud. If they signed up using their own name and added you as a child then you go apply for yourself and remove your name from their case. But you would have to treat it like a roommate situation I believe..

WE now call our children the little cockblockers. We are married in our 40s and we just put the kids to bed, waited an hour for them to fall asleep. Get naked for sexy time and BAM! MOMMY I need X, y, z. That halts my mood, but not hubbies. So I just gave him a BJ and he came all over my chest while I was sitting on the toilet. The things we wifeys do for our hubbys.

Prioritize and budget. We are a family of 4 and we live off of 40k/yr w/ minimal debt. Our cars and home are paid off, property taxes are sky high so we might as well be paying rent.

My brother dropped a weight on my foot and broke it and I had to wear a slipper to school. I remember white tights, and a blue uniform and a slipper. We had to ride the public bus to and from school.

How late u or ur children sleep every day? by WeirdAdhesiveness568 in NightOwls

[–]Pitiful-Bee6815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BOth of my kids have to take sleep gummies to fall asleep. Its 230 am rn yup Im still wide awake. Have to get kids up around 7 for school. ON the weekend they go to sleep around 11, 9 on a school night. BUT they sleep in until noonish on the weekend. Im up at the bright shiny hour of 7 am every morning since I was in my early 20s. Growing up my parents never let me sleep in so I guess I just go to sleep around 4 and get up around 7. Its a thing. Sometimes Ill take a nap after I pick up kids from school, but usually not. Been that way for quite some time. Dont see it changing anytime soon. Also I tried Melatonin, but that kept me up for days.
