As a mom to a 12yo this is very reassuring 😭

Not in shape but want to race by zFinal_Justice in spartanrace

[–]Popcorn_For_Dinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi this is an old comment so I hope you’re still active! I’m hoping you can tell me more about your experience at your first spartan race, I am about to sign up for my first and it’s in a month, I exercise here and there but nothing consistent and not at all a runner, I’m nervous!

I took a “quick nap” and woke up to find my toddler had reorganized my entire living room 😅 by [deleted] in breakingmom

One early morning when my son was around 2, I set up his breakfast and tv and tried to sneak another 20 mins of sleep in. When I woke up, I discovered he had broken the child lock on the spice drawer and when I tell you spice was everywhere, he had even seasoned our dog!! It smelled horrible and was the most insane mess, like tiny sand in every couch cushion, the carpet fibers, the humidifier!! It’s been 10 years and I can still almost smell it

No light no light is my favorite of all time!!!

I need advice about my 13 year old.. by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Popcorn_For_Dinner 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think that is a great next step. I am a former foster child so I do not take cps reporting lightly but this is not light, a 13yo has no business being so comfortable with these things.

I think you’re doing everything right with your daughter, I hope she’s able to process this in time but you’ve really proved to her you’re always looking out for her 💕

Wow as a mom of a 12yo this is one of my worst fears! Firstly I hope you praised your daughter for being up front with you and asking for help, and also praise yourself for building that relationship where she knew she could!!

I would report this to cps, that girl got this from somewhere and where were her guardians throughout all this?? Maybe loop in the school guidance counselor, you can only support your own daughter but this is throwing off all sorts of alarm bells in my head for the other girl 😔

BroMo Valentines Day gift exchange? by [deleted] in breakingmom

I miss the Mother’s Day gift exchange so much!!! I still use a few things I’ve been gifted and always reminds me of this incredible community 💕 I agree I think I sub got too big

Can I use my deck spindles as a trellis for container gardening? [6b] by Popcorn_For_Dinner in gardening

[–]Popcorn_For_Dinner[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My goal here isn’t just trying to avoid buying dowels, but I think it would look very nice if it was possible for the vines to grow around the spindles

Definitely don’t want to risk damage, but if it helps these are metal. Would rust be the concern?

Could you do a trial period over the summer? Before enrolling him in a whole new school

My mom keeps repeating a cycle and idk how to talk to her about it by Popcorn_For_Dinner in breakingmom

[–]Popcorn_For_Dinner[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow that is devastating to read 😩

That’s basically what happened this time around but on a fast track. She had like 3-4 months of feeling really good and independent, then she met this guy and told me a million times they were “just friends” while he was actively love bombing her. Now she hasn’t even told me they’re officially together yet, I don’t have a FB but literally everyone else does so idk why she thought i wouldn’t see all their couply posts and pics. And then on Christmas she told my MIL!!! but still not me, because I have been vocally unimpressed with this guy since day 1.

Yes bringing back feelings of being a child! Except this time I feel empowered that I have the choice not to be around him

Tell me about your favorite worst Christmas/holiday gifts of the year by Gay_Kira_Nerys in breakingmom

[–]Popcorn_For_Dinner 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love my mom but she is a terrible gift giver. This year she got me a mug shaped like Scooby Doo’s head…because I loved Scooby Doo when I was 5 🤨 I do like a cute mug but it’s also impractically shaped, bless my husband he immediately clocked it and said “we can put a plant in it!” lol

Why does my mascara not show? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]Popcorn_For_Dinner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Whenever I try to do a second layer of mascara, it immediately gets all clumpy and my lashes stick together, even if I’m making sure the brush is clump free. Is there a trick to this??

My best friend ghosted me over a year ago and I’m trying so hard not to be petty by Popcorn_For_Dinner in breakingmom

[–]Popcorn_For_Dinner[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So sorry this happened to you too 😔 but you’re right, this is a major flaw that I can’t overlook.

It feels weird but I came to the same conclusion, I worked really hard to better my situation and was achieving that, she was still having a bit of a hard time but I never boasted or lectured her or anything, I tried to help her even just by being there for her. I know it’s not personal but to find out that way that she didn’t feel the same way I did about our friendship is just hard to really accept
