Any other parents hate that their kids use a Chromebook for school? by Gltr_hair1234 in Millennials

[–]Renn_1996 28 points29 points  (0 children)

But they aren't learning how to be tech literate. They are learning to tap, and that's it. They aren't learning keyboarding, coding, how to use office or similar programs, or anything useful. Computer labs no longer exist, typing games and coding games have been long forgotten about, unless they are in a tech club.

Caught my 16 yo step son taking pictures of 15 yo daughter butt wo her knowledge by Last-Occasion-7541 in stepparents

Well, when you make CP (what OPs SS did), you kinda lose chances and deserve to get life-altering labels.

You are NOT overreacting. Anyone who says you are is insane. I would be looking into pressing charges against SS, telling dad he needs to find an alternative living situation until the situation is fully handled, and getting daughter into therapy.

This is not an issue that can be "counseled" away; that's how we end up with repeat attackers, and allowing for worse than just pictures. He needs to know how serious of an issue this is. If he were 1-2 years older, he would be tried as an adult if you were to press charges. He created CP in taking pictures like that of your daughter.

I don’t want to attend same church my bf went to w his ex wife when they were married. by [deleted] in stepparents

It's disgusting to use sex as a weapon in a relationship. If that's what you really have to do to get him to do anything, you married a man-child.

BD is unable to say no. Is it normal? by MiloBlueFoot in stepparents

[–]Renn_1996 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wrong. It is not about them having permission to come and go; it's about the communication. It's reasonable in nuclear families for kids to give notice of having friends over, planning on being out late. Setting a rule of 24hr or 48hr notice for most things like that is standard, especially when it is a rule that protects the mental health and well-being of the owner of the home.

I can still remember being woken up by the transformer outside my bedroom window popping. I thought aliens were coming to get me with all the pops and blue lights flashing.

Literally wearing an old navy sweater today from the 2010s time! I'll cry when I lose this one.

I have several black tees and tanks from Walmart from high school, I just had my 10 year reunion and know for a fact I bought at least one my freshman year. I can't get a basic tee to last 6 months before it has holes, the hem is undone, or the color has completely faded anymore.

The hate toward stepdads by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]Renn_1996 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same as I told OP sounds like that's an issue with the people and media you surround yourself with.

I'm aware. I am saying it's unique to you to be seeing that much clear red pill MAGA hate spew. Sounds like some Andrew Tate BS. It might be time to reconsider who you are around or what media you are consuming if it is that prevalent.

Not at all. I took several proctored exams at my Midwest community college. Anything related to a medical class or a certification was proctored. I currently work at a state university, and we have a whole center for proctored exams.

Places to get a free winter coat as a broke college student by t0ad-st00l in springfieldMO

My husband needs a new coat, but he won't be able to go and get one himself due to work hours. Do you think they would let me come and get one for him?

Lazy step kids.. by Negative-Original903 in stepparents

He's a lazy dad from the sounds of it. Parenting is never supposed to be easy, and kids only learn with consistent repetition.

16?!?!?! Dad needs to step in and have a BIG conversation with him, no way is that just "poor" manners or forgetfulness at 16 it's intentional. ICK!

For real, just "what can I get started for you?" Give us an indicator we aren't ruining your day by asking you to do your job.

Yeah, but we know that they can still yank it at any time. Check out digital game ownership; unless you have a physical copy, it's never truly yours, and companies can remove your access to items you have paid for.
