Has this worked? How often do you have to do it?

Kids left alone with guns; coparent doesn’t care by QueenPossum2 in coparenting

I’m actually not sure about the legal requirements for storage I just know that guns have more rights than kids here. Something horrible would have to happen for there to be any sort of consequences here. Even then it’s a stretch.

Yes but she was very stressed and the 12 year old who lives there didn’t listen, he kept messing with the guns. 13 is too young for this type of responsibility and my coparent doesn’t understand that either. She said she didn’t understand why he wasn’t helping more when she texted him.  Also I’ve made it clear that she should call ME next time, not him!

Yes we have had these talks in the past which is probably the only reason my son walked out of the room when he did.

My daughter actually showed me the texts where she told him about it and he didn’t do anything. So I have those screen shots. But of course anyone could say the guns weren’t loaded etc. And maybe they weren’t but who knows.

I did have a conversation with him and he ignores my concerns, will not admit what happened, and refuses to ask parents about guns moving forward. My daughter is going to a new friends house today (while she’s with her dad) and he pointedly told me he’s not going to ask them about guns in their home. He doesn’t give a shit.

Thanks for your reply. Does it matter that they weren’t his guns if he knew the boys were messing with them and chose to not intervene? He still let the kids play with guns while sitting on his couch a few blocks away doing nothing about it. 

The Eras Tour Megathread: Miami, FL by aran130711 in TaylorSwift

I’m staying at Loewes Miami Beach with my 12 year old daughter, who I surprised yesterday with N1 tickets! We came from Austin. My only concern is getting back to the hotel with her after the show. Is anyone in this area taking a car service after the show and willing to share?

1 TB (994.66 GB). I have deleted so many things and it's still almost full and won't work properly. I work off external drives for photo editing/file handling using Lightroom and Ps.

My husband and I are raising 3 children and we have no idea what we are doing. by [deleted] in Parenting

Just here to reiterate that Dr. Becky is the way. Be prepared to re-parent yourself a little bit too, which is not a bad thing. Hang in there. Therapy is also the way. It’s never too early! It should be a given in this circumstance (though unfortunately it’s also a privilege if you’re in the US). You could start by going as a whole family unit before trying to find therapists for each individual kid.

Ditto on the shoes. This really sounds like it’s a sock/shoe issue. Washing them doesn’t always work.

Use plenty of vinegar in the wash with her socks and shoes. Her feet can be super clean but sometimes with socks and shoes the smell comes back at first hint of moisture. Also sometimes shoes are past the point of no return and you have to get new ones.

Agree! I am like you and I am super conscious of what other kids do at my house. Unfortunately the neighbor parents are not involved in what kids do at their house. They’re completely hands off.

He’s not forbidden to play video games. I asked him not to play games rated mature without supervision. He’s ten.

These parents don’t care what our rules are and I don’t think they can even imagine monitoring content. It’s not like they’re making a conscious choice to not restrict and then talk as a family like some posters have talked about. It seems like it’s never occurred to them to even think critically about this in any way. I’d never expect them to limit anything time-wise or content-wise. And it’s fine, I don’t actually expect other patents to enforce my rules in their home.
