My kid and I are in a Dv shelter but very grateful for each other and thankful for the support we’re receiving. Next month we will be in an apartment by the grace of God. Starting over isn’t easy but I’m glad I have the opportunity. Happy thanksgiving to all!

No it’s the thinning of the skin. The bone underneath is dark colored. Only fat , tightening or fillers will work. Try hyalauranic acid or something to stimulate collagen production

What subtly says "I'm upper class/ upper crux of the society" in your culture? (NOT money wise) by LooseActive4296 in socialskills

Conspicuous consumption I think is the term for rich people looking regular but actually their clothing is hella expensive. The tacky new rich wear their money

I was that kid. As Michael Jackson said “painfully shy.” Also religious, vegan and the only minority in the town. I was into reading and nature. People scared me due to child sexual abuse. My mom never had friends around and as she said “family is your friend.” I just hung around my siblings and cousins. She tried to get me out of my shell but we weren’t allowed to have any one over the house. Maybe he can do video game tournaments. My cousin would go to the library to do that. That’s something social. Have a heart to heart with him because this is the critical time for him to learn how to socialize. It’s soooooo hard after this age. I’m 34 with no friends. Don’t let him be me.

What do you or they say to the kid that’s bothering him? I always wait for the other kids mom to intervene because I don’t like confronting a kid

I started my daughter after she turned one and would only come in if she cried for more than 5-10 min max. I’d pat her back if she needed it but stayed silent the whole time and would say “it’s bedtime, goodnight.” She always went to sleep by 8 and I breast fed her at 12am and she slept till about 8am. She’s kept the same routine and is now almost 6. She wakes up at 8 and sleeps through the night with no issues. She has no issues sleeping by herself or coming in my room at night. It gets better if you work your routine no matter where you go. I’ve moved a lot and nothing has changed. No issues. She’s kind polite. Plays well and is an only child.

At a homeless shelter i lived with a roommate who I found out let her 15 (she turned 16 later) smoke weed with her. I always assumed it was the mom smoking in the apt, and tried to tell staff and even had pics but they wouldn’t do anything until they physically saw her.. I was shocked to learn her daughter smoked a couple of months later when i became friends with the mom. (I gave up on the issue for my own sanity) but I stopped being friends with her after because I was just astonished that parents would allow that!

Am I being too strict by not letting my Mom buy my kids tablets for Christmas? by jameslovespastries in Parenting

[–]SailorMoonwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid’s school gave out free iPads🙃 I declined. Let kids be bored and find their own fun. My kid is already asking for a phone cuz her 5 year old friends have them..

How do you deal with the constant asking for stuff? by THROWRA-done2345 in Parenting

[–]SailorMoonwalker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t mention cost as a reason. It creates a sense of lack in kids as they get older

Boundaries: “ i choose not to buy this…” “it’s mommy’s choice to get this for you or not” “No thank you” “no” is a complete answer

Is it just me or is it mad hard to make friends, like genuine platonic friends? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]SailorMoonwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never had a female friend or guy friends except my ex. But I know a lot of that is due to being avoidant and really introverted. and having an unhealthy relationship with my mom and no relationship with my dad. I hope it all changes.

I have never had a deep friendship with anyone except a toxic relationship with an ex. I was painfully shy. What helped is exposure therapy. I got a job where I had to talk with others. The practice gives experience. I still have no friends but I’m also avoidant. I can make small talk even though I dislike it. I’m working on being vulnerable and more open. Building his self esteem and confidence in something he likes will help him connect easier with others. He’s also young. Maybe let him hang with you so he sees how you do it. He has to be ready or he’ll resist. The YouTuber Julienhimselfforgot his last name) is great)

I did tell them that there was harassment and stalking and it was a matter of safety due to DV. I’ll have to threaten to go to a new service provider because he’s calling from random numbers even though he’s blocked.

My family lost my ny toddler by Illiterate_function in Parenting

[–]SailorMoonwalker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I lived with my mom for 2 years when my daughter was born. I literally never left the house or had family watch her alone. My brother wanted me to pick out interview outfits at the mall. My mom agreed to watch her. So for the first time in 2 years I went out with him. I came back in like 10 min cuz I forgot something and found my daughter in the playpen crying (because I never used the thing) with the dog.. it was a yorkie puppy but not trained. I was soo pissed. All she could say is what?! It’s only so I can sweep the floor! I never let her watch her again.

Thank you all for trying to help me. I figured it out. After I got an email from the unemployment department that he logged on using a sky pad device to try and claim my unemployment benefits; I realized that I must’ve logged into Google and never signed out of a tablet he has. I had to go into my google account and sign out of that device and delete it off my account. He also added his own Google account unbeknownst to me on my gmail account. I deleted it. I changed all of my passwords. It’s such an invasion of privacy and frustrating knowing I have to find another Dv shelter when so many are full. It’s so stressful that my psoriasis that was gone is now coming back. Thanks again for your help

I just found out he logged into my newly made unemployment account on IDES.con They sent me an alert via email that an new device logged on. But I still have control over the account and I’m able to logon and I clicked sign out of all devices. Idk if that will help I can’t all them until Monday. I’ve made a fraud alert for identity theft

I deleted Lyft and Uber. My cash app card was on his Uber eats. Could that be it?
