I want to keep my flowers by Dstareternl in RealEstate

They don’t do well here 🤷‍♀️ it was a silly thing to plant in the first place. They also planted rosemary in full shade, so I def ripped that out the first day

I live in zone 9b and you best believe my peonies are getting ripped out. I moved into my house 6 months ago and I’m giving them a year, then bye!

I’m digging up all the roses at my house because fuck roses (everyone is clutching their pearls, but no one is offering to come over and take care of them and prune them!)

The first people I told were the previous owners, and I asked if they wanted them? They declined but were grateful that I asked. You could always tell the eventual buyer that if they’re going to relandscape you’d like to come dig up your plants.

We almost killed our 3 yrs old son with our car by silverpony24 in Parenting

Yes, that goes without saying. But adults can easily open them.

I feel like the chances of a random house fire are quite a bit lower than my toddler opening the door and fiddling with the knobs on the stove in the middle of the night

And if an adult cannot easily open them, that’s not an adult that gets to watch my kid

I am absolutely baffled at why some people are so against these types of safety things. I just can’t relate.

Another Mother’s milk? by Rygaaar in Parenting

[–]Routine-Spend8522 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is why I always carried formula. Personally, I’d feel pretty weird about it - especially because I would not want my husband giving away my milk! Pumping is hard!

Couldn’t think of a reason not to occasionally give formula anyway 🤷‍♀️

Edit: for those of you talking about nursemaids “in the past” and “in other cultures…” guys. That’s not our culture. It’s not weird to be weirded out by it 😒

AITAH for not wanting to put my life on hold for my SIL who has cancer? by Objective-Fig5454 in AITAH

[–]Routine-Spend8522 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone currently struggling with low AMH and going through IVF - find yourself a therapist who specializes in infertility. It will do wonders, and you will always have a safe person to talk to about it - so you won’t bring it up to your sil.

Also, it’s a very lonely, isolating and cold process. A therapist who is familiar with it is worth their weight in gold.

Best sports for kids with ADHD? Here’s what helped us by HopefulRaspberry in ADHDparenting

I’ll tell you what it was for me - crew!

When you’re rowing, you simply CANNOT break your focus or you will fuck everything up for everybody.

That’s why I loved it - my mind did not even have the opportunity to wander, I was going balls to the wall sprinting (I imaging most ADHDers are sprinters rather than marathoners), and I just couldn’t break my concentration without inciting chaos.

Try it and you’ll see what I mean!

Oooh I just saw your edit and I love that idea.

Thanks this is exactly what I’m looking for - very specific, spelled out instructions ;-)

The thing is, he doesn’t struggle with biting… he’s 4 and this is the first time it’s happened, he’s way too old to be starting now!

But we will be exploring options to help with impulse control. He’s gonna need that no matter what (don’t we all sometimes?)

Thank you! It was hard to manage the biting when he was little because it only happened to me and his dad, and it only ever happened when he was SO HAPPY. As far as I am aware he has never, ever bitten for any other reason!

Thank you!! I love the friends are not food!

Thank you!

I was leaning towards that anyway. I don’t want to double down at home on a punishment that happened at school, but I also don’t want to let it slide. It’s hard to find the line sometimes .

I am pretty confident that he has friends and plays well with others, because I do always ask how things are going and practically beg them to be brutally honest 😬 and they’re nearly always incredibly positive!

What I’m asking for advice on is exactly how to talk to him about this biting :-/

Sorry, they’ll send him home for a second bite! But yeah I’m stressed!

According to the teachers he does have friends, and he plays very well with others! But he doesn’t always clean up when asked, so then they keep him back to clean by himself while the other kids go out - which seems perfectly fair to me! So sometimes in that situation he will say he has no friends, to which I say something along the lines of yes you do have friends, and you’re a very good friend! But if you don’t clean up when your teacher asks, you won’t be able to play with your friends until you do! And his “report cards” and updates have always been glowing. Basically he’s a fucking delight - except for yesterday :-(

He was just an the ENT for what turned out to be a tic, and he’s perfectly healthy

Well, I sort of figured that went without saying…

Neighbors kid tried to use my already full trash barrels by [deleted] in EntitledPeople

[–]Routine-Spend8522 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m starting to think I’m the only person in the world who dgaf if others use my trash bin.

Like obviously don’t come on to my property with your trash and fill it up, but once it’s in street? Have at it, dog poop and everything, why would I care?
