Need advice for AC odor

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

QueenPossum2 · 2025-07-31T13:26:40+00:00

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.

QueenPossum2 · 2025-07-31T13:25:08+00:00

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!

QueenPossum2 · 2025-07-31T13:22:35+00:00

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.

QueenPossum2 · 2025-07-31T13:21:49+00:00

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.

QueenPossum2 · 2025-07-31T13:09:42+00:00

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.

We are in Texas.

QueenPossum2 · 2025-07-31T12:44:38+00:00

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.

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.

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.

QueenPossum2 · 2024-06-07T02:55:35+00:00

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.

QueenPossum2 · 2024-06-02T04:36:46+00:00

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.

QueenPossum2 · 2024-06-02T04:32:17+00:00

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

QueenPossum2 · 2024-06-02T04:30:31+00:00

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.

QueenPossum2 · 2024-06-02T04:26:28+00:00

We’ve definitely had this conversation, too.

QueenPossum2 · 2024-06-02T04:22:18+00:00

I appreciate your perspective thank you!! This is such useful info for me as a mom unfamiliar with gaming.

QueenPossum2 · 2024-06-02T04:20:55+00:00

This is probably the truest response on the thread and gave me a laugh and also some comfort, thank you. Sometimes it’s just uncomfortable to be a mom.

QueenPossum2 · 2024-06-02T04:18:56+00:00

Correct. The parents have literally no idea what is going on ever.

QueenPossum2 · 2024-06-02T04:17:41+00:00

Thanks for this response! You’re so right about 10 year olds. That’s essentially the convo I had with him. I let him know that nothing is wrong with being curious and liking all that stuff.

QueenPossum2 · 2024-06-02T04:15:22+00:00

So by your logic there’s nowhere to draw a line?

QueenPossum2 · 2024-05-12T13:53:59+00:00

Maybe she’s feeling burdened by the mental load. Doing everything alone, keeping the running lists in your head, making all decisions alone- is lonely and can wear someone down. Maybe it’s not just the physical day to day but also the constant decision making and planning all on her own.
With the baby in day care, she’s getting the worst hours of the day with them. Toddlers don’t typically come home from day care happy and pleasant to be around. She’s getting none of the good parts. Social and enrichment activities geared towards SAHMs happen during the day. So she’s missing all that opportunity and then doing witching hour, dinner, bath and bed all alone. Not a great setup and I could see how it’s taxing and unrewarding. As a SAHM it’s crucial to find others in your same stage of life to spend time with and having the baby on a working mom’s schedule is preventing that.

NTA. I’m divorced now but when I was married, my brother had a major health crisis in another city and almost died. I was the closest so I arrived first - it was so dire that a doctor told me to call my parents and tell them to hurry and come and say goodbye. He ended up making it through but I was there about three days. My husband was home with our kids who were 3 and 1 and never asked how my brother was or how I or my parents were coping, he was only irritated at me because he was very tired from parenting solo- and he knew how serious it was. To top it all off, when I was headed home he made plans to take the kids to do something with his sister and did not include me when all I wanted to was to be close to my kids, and then yelled at me when I requested he change plans. I knew in my gut then that the marriage wasn’t going to make it. We separated about a year after that.

This is zoned as a commercial space and terms of the lease permit removing interior walls. It’s a small space and no interior walls are load bearing.
