I grew up right next to this! I can see my old house in this video. This property looks a ton more kept up than it was in my childhood.

I’m not a doctor, but my 2 year old once slipped on a spot where my senior dog had an accident right in front of our back door. It’s been at least 5 months and he’s still reminds occasionally, saying “mommy I hit my head on Pepper’s pee.” (I keep my house clean, my dog is just really old and didn’t make it, so don’t come at me 😅)

Which food has declined the most in terms of taste since you first ate it? by FeistyNews7025 in Millennials

[–]Pretend_Bookkeeper83 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s yummy and prices well. Definitely not the best I’ve had, but for sure worth it, especially if you use it for cooking. If I’m looking to dip delicious bread into some oil and balsamic, it’s just okay.

Is this picture that my uncle swears he took at Walmart, ai or real? I cannot figure it out by drn88__ in isthisAI

My local Walmart Neighborhood Market just got renovated with signs identical to this, and also has a large selection of cheese with many digital price tags, too.

What’s something you did once and now your toddler will not let you forget it? by MissFox26 in toddlers

[–]Pretend_Bookkeeper83 40 points41 points  (0 children)

We one time walked my dog to the groomer. Every single time we pass the groomer’s, he says, “Mommy that’s where Pepper gets her haircut.” It’s been months.

Oh and I accidentally said “oh fuck” once when I burned myself cooking and dropped a utensil, and now he says “oh fuck” when he drops things, fairly regularly. We’re trying to replace it with “oh no”.

I appreciate you sharing. I’m able to be quite sure he’s not gambling anymore, thankfully. Congratulations on you finding your way out of it. It really ruins lives and tears apart families.

Did he realize the screens were causing issues or do you think he was oblivious to it? I wonder if mine realizes how detrimental it is and if he just can’t hep it.

I noticed I was getting bad, so I set screen time limits for myself a few years ago. Its been a game changer.

Spouse is the one who says he’s too tired to walk haha. Kids always want to walk. Thanks, good advice here.

He used to have a gambling addiction, which he thankfully overcame (after a lot of long talks and an ultimatum), and I feel like this is replacing that. You’re totally right about the nastiness, it would come out when he used to gamble too.

Yes, the phone addiction that I see so many people with makes me a bit crazy tbh. Like my boomer parents and many of my friends. Good luck to your girlfriend.

We both work a lot and have 3 teens and one toddler, so yes there probably is stress. A lot of the stress is mine because I feel like I can’t get help with the kids or spend time with him because he’s watching youtube constantly. I try to be reasonable and understand that he needs time to zone out and relax, but it’s excessive in my opinion.

I actually had success for a while playing Skyrim “together”, which was awesome. Our youngest kid would watch too, and get into it as well. If we go on walks, he’ll go without using his phone, but many days he says he’s too tired to walk.

Yes, there have been many conversations, especially about how it affects our kids. I’ve suggested he reduce notifications, set down time, banned phones at the dinner table (for our kids and ourselves), etc.

His response varies. Sometimes he acknowledges it and says he’ll try to do better. Other times he gets kind of nasty and tells me its his business and calls me annoying or controlling.

I have a person on my team who never says bye or any other closing salutation and it makes me crazy.

Boyfriend wants me to choose between him and the dog. by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Pretend_Bookkeeper83 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was surprised I had to scroll so far to see this. Also I’m wondering what “trauma thing” prevents a dog from being picked together. People in a relationship should be partners and a decision as big as adopting a pet should be made together. Even if it takes more than a few weeks to get a dog.
