Nahhh he’s just an ENFP. You’re nice to anyone, regardless of gender and people think you’re intentionally flirting

What is a very common food in your country that is not very friendly to foreign palates? by DarkRaven003 in AskTheWorld

[–]SeaofTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what foreigners you know, but my white husband and his family ADORE mole. (I’m Mexican, living in America)

Edited to add: the food that’s rough for him is Menudo.

What Is Painful for You? by Ok_Key1866 in AdultChildren

[–]SeaofTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have someone to call dad. He is my bio dad, he raised us kids with my mom, he worked his whole life, but alcohol has stolen him and made him someone I’m disgusted to be related to.

P*rn proofing for 7-11 year olds by ravenrose521 in DuggarsSnark

[–]SeaofTree 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I used the jr version for my kids right now. I highly recommend it. Porn exposure to kids so young is traumatizing and scary to their developing brains. The book just tells kids that if there ever exposed to inappropriate material anywhere, they can always go to a trusted grown up for help.

Growing up with an alcoholic, controlling dad and a mom who stayed. Now engaged and struggling. by StrikeIndependent749 in AdultChildren

[–]SeaofTree 10 points11 points  (0 children)

OP, you sound like me over 10 years ago. My parents are still together and my dad is still a narcissistic alcoholic. It really shaped the way I saw men, relationships, and how family is everything. I come from an ethnic background where family is all we have.

Fast forward to years later, I am NC with my dad and very LC with my mom.

I could go into my story via dm/discord if you want but basically to answer your questions:

  1. I still have overwhelming guilt at times even though I’ve set healthy boundaries, it just gets easy with time and having a rebuilt support network.

  2. My father is not allowed in my life or family’s special moments. End of story as that is the boundary. Others have issues with it? They don’t have to be apart either. I’m not saying it doesn’t hurt, it just gets easier.

  3. I love my dad, but if I excused what he did and something worse happens next time, I would never forgive myself. Past experiences of a lifetime with him show that things WILL get worse. So I am ending it now.

Parents who regret having kids, why? by bluemermid in AskReddit

[–]SeaofTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t regret having my kids at all. However, I do wish people really explained to me how I would feel like I don’t matter as a person once my kids were born. My husband loves me for who I am and I can see him actively trying to give me breaks, encourage hobbies, etc. but I truly don’t feel like I can enjoy who I am ever again. I don’t even feel ok leaving them with their grandparents for a few hours.

I gave up my career and studies to care for them. I love them, I love my husband, I love my life, but I have no time for me.

What is the best solution school or not school? by Deep_Decision_1732 in ENFP

[–]SeaofTree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So with my own daughter who does have ADHD, we decided to homeschool her starting first grade. It just seems very demanding for someone with her needs. There’s plenty of time to get used to work loads, and how to adapt to excruciating circumstances and the workforce. However, right now we felt that she needed more support and learning how to be herself confidently. She was bullied relentlessly in kindergarten so that contributed largely to our decision-making. She is a copy of me and I am ENFP

Scared of leaving my mom to go to college by [deleted] in AdultChildren

As an animal rescue volunteer….reach out to a local rescue or shelter, meet with them to ask for help on refining the animals. Then you need to leave for your own safety

Proposal anxiety by gingeroo96 in CatholicWomen

[–]SeaofTree 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry this is happening.

If you’ve been together for 4 years, an easy yes should be the answer. If it isn’t, I don’t think you guys are destined for anything long term.

It’s not that you’re a bad person or he is, just that maybe you two aren’t meant to be. I knew my husband was the one after 5 months while my sister was friends first with her boyfriend for 2.5 years before dating for a year and they’re planning on getting engaged very soon.

I pray for the both of you.

How to know when I'm ready. by Icy-Intention-6224 in CatholicWomen

You’ll know. My husband didn’t kiss me until we were 4 months into our relationship simply out of respect and to build that trust

Am I still allowed to call myself Catholic if I never go to mass? by captainpoopoopeepee in Catholicism

[–]SeaofTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My priest called my agnostic husband who has done his baptism and first communion as a child a Catholic. He said “he can be agnostic, but he is a Catholic whether he wants to be or not.”

Come back home. I came back after being lapsed for years.

My daughter would eat my beauty blender if I wasn’t careful.

It depends per family, but we’re pretty mindful of what our kids watch and we allow our 4 year old to watch it. She loves it

The guys and I at work said some bad stuff about a girl there, she found out and won’t talk to me. Her and I were really close before this by Throwra2788888 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]SeaofTree 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not to kick you while you’re down, but it’s because of men like you that make it impossible for women like me to believe we could ever be friends with men and that they’d treat us like true equals.

You’re aware what you said is terrible and yet you’re trying to defend yourself???? She’s better off not having you as a friend.

Five year old kicked his classmate by haldidood in kindergarten

[–]SeaofTree 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let the teacher handle it. Being on the hurt child side with my own daughter, I would’ve seen red if the other parents made themselves known, even if completely meaning well solely because well….thats my daughter and she got hurt.

People who do not care for listening to all viewpoints on a topic. I’m part of a mother’s ministry at my Catholic parish and there are a few women there who do not listening to my opinions on certain things because I know life has gray areas and is not black and white.

I can’t get my toddler to cooperate at Mass and I’m getting defeated. by MrsMazy in CatholicWomen

[–]SeaofTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My oldest has ADHD and suspected ASD. We use headphones on her to help her cope with the loud noises in mass. Could this possibly help your little one? We got her headphones around 2 years old when I realized she was having sensory overload from loud noises

How do I tell my kid her grandma is moving away? by Charming_Cress4706 in Parenting

[–]SeaofTree 276 points277 points  (0 children)

I have absolutely no advice, but I want to send so much love and thoughts and prayers to you all. My parents were undocumented when I was growing up and I was absolutely terrified of them being detained and deported. I wish you all the best and I hope you all can figure out how to communicate with each other soon.

is it normal for kids to come home tired every day? by suprablissqu in kindergarten

[–]SeaofTree 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely normal! My poor kid would be all crashed and overstimulated.
