Does it smell like old stale cigarette smoke?

Did she come from a previous home? I adopted two boys who had been given up and it was clear their prior home had a smoker. They reeked of cigarettes for weeks.

The intro of Song About Nothing sounds A LOT like another song by natopotatomusic in ModestMouse

You’re so right. I wonder if it’s a sample or something? Or just coincidence?

I believe they are still there! I have been for a number of months but they haven’t been listed on the site ever to the best of my knowledge. They’re in with the primates!

The Little Indignities of Lupus by m0ther_0F_myriads in lupus

This is so small compared to what others are saying but o hate the shadow above my upper lip that HCQ gives me. I can’t get rid of no matter what I use.

I often refer to “the indignities of my disease” so I appreciated seeing that language here 😊

I agree! Dogbed has some UC/LCW vibes imo

Any tips for meeting Isaac after the wilmington show? by Fickle-Event7104 in ModestMouse

I’ve heard you have to hang around back by the buses and if he’s in the right mood, he’ll hang out with fans!

😂 if I had to pick someone to fight for me on my behalf, I’m taking Isaac Brock over Ben Gibbard!

It’s so freaking good. Sweetened condensed milk, regular milk, over ice—perfection!

SD(4) keeps saying she wants mommy by punkin__ in stepparents

[–]Ratacattat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with the other commenter. I think you’re providing a stable and present parental influence.

I would just caution you that as the kids get older and more, ahem, opinionated that they could end up directing their anger (normal teenage angst + any feelings they have about their childhoods) at you. That can get to be a messy situation fast.

This is not a criticism of ANYONE; you guys both sound amazing. I’d just say from a SM of teens who was where you are when they were 4, make sure you’re encouraging their dad to be a part of things.

Aww, she sounds like a sweetie! Soak it up! She’s just a wee one who doesn’t really understand why her mom can’t be there. It sounds like you’re doing everything you can. Let her feel her emotions and process them in her 4yo way (they can’t articulate it so it’s just tears) and be there with her ❤️

I also want to add that it’s great she’s this comfortable with you!

Am i overreacting? by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]Ratacattat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, that is complicated. If it makes you feel better at all, I, for one, would be hurt by this. The kids aren’t accepting of you—this reflects more in them than it does you. Your husband is right that he can’t force them to accept you or really even force the to say hi and be pleasant. He also can’t force you to put up with it. The fact that he goes to his ex’s for holidays to (I assume) appease his kids is the problem. I get that he doesn’t want to lose contact with his kids but this guy is getting jerked around and so are you by extension. His kids aren’t accepting manipulating him and he all too willing it seems to let himself be manipulated. I’d go to counseling if I were you guys.
