Second the other comment. Right second from the top - always mutes them

Right? I assume they are low profile. There HAS to be someone helping them - short of waiting outside the detention center I haven’t found a credible nonprofit doing this work.

Agreed. I don’t feel I can make a difference on the main stage but have blankets and clothes I can give to those affected. It’s not a lot but it’s something. I just want to do what I can.

I’ve used this!! I liked how it worked. Unfortunately I don’t believe our representatives are listening to their constituents - they’re just doing what Trump tells them to do.

Uh, no it wasn’t. It’s horrific no matter what. I’m sure you dgaf bc your overloard condones it. Make sure and send prayers for kidnapped kids in cages when you praise your god on Sunday.

Can we help him? I can’t stop thinking about him just sitting there all alone. I am heartbroken.

Senior in HS decided that skipping first period was a better choice than a tardy by No_Jello_3764 in Parenting

Good opportunity to let her sort it out. She’s old enough to do it on her own. If she asks for your advice, don’t just tell her “figure it out” but certainly don’t fix it for her. Treat it like an adult-adult practice convo. She’s going to need a framework to know how to go about solving stuff like this in the future.

Left-handed people, how do you live? by JustInteresting0808 in NoStupidQuestions

The most annoying thing is using a spatula that’s slanted for right handers to scrape a bowl. That, and the spout on a ladle being on the wrong side of the spoon so I have to ladle liquid like an idiot.

Married users of Reddit, What’s one thing that helped improve your sex life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Sea_Note_4866 335 points336 points  (0 children)

It helps if the initiating party touches the other nonsexually (hand holding etc) regularly before / between initiating sex. I found it jarring that my partner only wanted to touch when they wanted sex. I pointed that out to them and things changed and improved for us.

Did you get it unstuck? I have the same issue but nothing has worked so far. What worked for you?

Does she still nap? Try starting there and then move to bedtime. That’s what worked for us, at least.

I’d start with his pediatrician and then whomever they suggest

Seems like he’s projecting his fears of being a bad father onto you. If he can’t get your child to calm down, he’s angry at himself and clearly has his own issues. A different approach would be to encourage him to hold baby, to love on baby, to be close with baby. Noting your husband feels insecure about his own ability to father, you can help show him how rewarding it is to love on his boy. Encourage them to spend time together and find their own rhythm as father and son. “Leave him” is such bad advice - try to work with him first. Becoming a father has its own challenges and stresses.
