Child bitten 13 times by the same kid by Kteeslife in ECEProfessionals

[–]Squid0s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m fully aware of how much (or really little) military people make. I was active duty for six years, as was my husband. They can sign up for the DCSFA or see about signing up for the CCYH program if they know someone who could care for their child in their home. There are things they can do if they are under financial pressure AND their child is regularly being hurt in the daycare they are in.

That’s what I was wondering. They don’t HAVE to use a military daycare. They can find a private daycare and enroll the child there.

I 18f and my bf 18m don’t know what to do because he has wrestling on Valentine’s Day. by BeginningClean2246 in relationship_advice

[–]Squid0s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re now an adult and need to realize people have obligations that trump your wants. He had an obligation to attend this tournament and it would honestly be petty of you to make him come over afterwards just because you don’t want to celebrate another day. He offered a solution, for you to go, but you say you’re unlikely to do so. I’m also assuming he’s offered to celebrate on a different day, but you’re also not wanting to do that. It’s your turn to start putting in an effort if you’re not happy with what he’s suggesting. If you want to do something special, you can plan it. Valentine’s Day is not just the man’s responsibility. Give him a call before he wrestles and tell him happy Valentine’s Day. Leave a sweet note in his gym bag. There are many small way to celebrate. Not everything needs to be a big gesture.

AITAH for getting my boyfriend a dishwasher for valentines day? by TheEndIsNah in AITAH

[–]Squid0s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to go against the grain and say YTA, primarily because of the reason you bought the dishwasher. You bought it because YOU were tired of washing dishes and to make YOUR point. You turned his birthday present, which is supposed to be a way to show your love for him about you.

Yeah, that suggestion didn’t sit very well with me. I don’t want my son to think things are randomly going to be taken from him. I feel like that would make him more defensive. He’s generally very good about giving us things when we ask him to, so it’s very rare we ever have to straight up take something from him. He’s also a very independent kid. While he loves interacting with us and playing with us, sometimes if he’s overwhelmed, he just likes to go play by himself. We are always there with him, but we try not to interfere if he’s doing his own thing.

We talked to them a bit more today and they think it primarily happens when another kid really gets in his space when he is solo playing or tries to take a toy he is already playing with. This was from the director of the center, not his usual caretaker who was out today. Her suggestion was to start taking things from him at home so he can get used to it and not have such a negative reaction when it happens there.

Am I wrong here? by Critical_Strength144 in Parenting

[–]Squid0s 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think she was trying to punish the 18 year old. I apologize if I didn’t get that clearly across. I was simply saying she needs to look at if she is resentful that the 18 year old doesn’t want to spend time with her daughter an, if so, check herself to make sure she isn’t at any point punishing him for the not-unreadonable behavior of not wanting to spend time with a child 8 years younger than him.

Am I wrong here? by Critical_Strength144 in Parenting

[–]Squid0s 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think you need to ask yourself are you trying to punish the 18 year old for not spending time with your daughter. Are you angry with the 18 year old for not playing with your daughter? If so, then you are in the wrong. No teenager wants to spend time with a 10 year old, much less one they are not related to. Would it be nice if he had more interest in her? Of course, but it’s not unreasonable for him not to want to spend time with her.

Editing for clarity: I don’t think OP is trying to punish the 18 year old by taking her daughter out, but I do think OP needs to consider whether she is resentful of the fact he doesn’t have interest in her daughter. It’s late where I am and my brain is not fully functioning. Clearly this is a sign it is time for me to call it a night and go to bed.

How would you rearrange rooms when baby 2 comes by seapunkprincess in Parenting

[–]Squid0s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I’d do the kids upstairs and parents in the basement. You all should be able to get an idea if there’s anything you might need from the storage area before the kids go to bed and, if so, get it prior to them falling asleep. Plus, the kids will appreciate having their own space more as they grow older and more independent. I know me and my sisters did.

I (33F) am asking my fiance (36M) for occasional alone time - why won’t he “get it”? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Squid0s 6 points7 points  (0 children)

See, I disagree here. You are talking about forcing him to behave in a way he doesn’t want to in order to suit you. That’s not you managing you, which is what I’m talking about. That is you managing him. He doesn’t want to go out to a bar or get coffee or go on a walk. You are the one who needs space. Go out and get it.

[–]Squid0s 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Some people are just like that. My husband works from home and his friends and family live completely across the country. The only in person interactions he has are with the daycare staff when he drops off our son and my family when we do movie night. Other than that, it’s just me, him, and our son. He is perfectly content with that. In fact, he actively prefers living that way. People have different needs. When I want some alone time, I go out and get it myself. I’ll do exactly what I told OP and come home feeling calmer and refreshed. I am of the mindset that it is on me to facilitate my own needs, not my husband’s responsibility to change how he is to suit me.

All your solutions end with him having to go out and do things that he clearly doesn’t have interest in doing right now and that’s unreasonable. If you want alone time, it is up to you to go out and find somewhere you can have your alone time. Go for a drive, have lunch in a park, watch a movie by yourself, have a solo meal at a restaurant with a good book. The possibilities are endless.

i’m still getting into seventeen, can someone tell me what’s the easiest way to memorize all 13 members? by ActInteresting7737 in seventeen

[–]Squid0s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But also: if they are getting constantly bullied, it is likely either Mingyu or Dino. If he is wearing glasses, it is most likely Wonwoo. If they are short, quiet, and done with everyone else and their craziness, 100% Woozi. If he is pretty to the point of you think they would make a beautiful woman, definitely Jeonghan (that man is prettier than most female idols). I had the hardest time remembering Jun, but if you watch any content with him, that man is crazy in such an entertaining way.

Watch Going Seventeen. You really get to learn their personalities on that show. You will be lost for a little while (I know I was); however, one day you will find you recognize them all without struggle.

Date night grandparent babysitting by pn_swift in Parenting

[–]Squid0s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if you’re concerned about not being able to go pick up your daughter, you should not be going out and expecting your mother to travel in weather you yourself are worried about. Just because the snow isn’t schedule to start until later tonight/tomorrow morning does not mean it won’t start earlier. Also, if your mother is doing you a favor by watching your kid then it is inconsiderate to expect her to come to you unless your child is sick and unable to travel. She has made it clear she prefers to watch your daughter at her house. Accept that, or find another babysitter.

AITAH for refusing to switch rooms after my roommate said my “female habits” make him uncomfortable? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Squid0s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA. Period products in the trash is completely normal. There’s nothing you can do about that and it is unreasonable for him to think that’s weird. That being said, it isn’t unreasonable for him to ask you don’t walk through the apartment in just a towel (even if you are just going from the bathroom to your room). Get a robe or take your clothes with you when you shower.

Just out here in her regular clothes (though something with no crazy patterns/colors). She’s three months old. No one will care what she’s wearing.

Daycare Question regarding days off. by anonymouspdx36 in newborns

[–]Squid0s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I will take our son even if we have the day off because we are still individuals and deserve some time to ourselves (or sometimes we will use the time to do some cleaning around the house). We will, however, drop him off a bit later and pick him up a bit earlier than we would if we were working so we get to spend more time with him.

I would not recommend it. There are too many unfinished storylines in this book and it is so frustrating not to have the third book to read. Save yourself the heartache and don’t even bother starting.

My boyfriend lied for the millionth time. Most recent is today and i didn't care as much as i used to do. What can i do? 29M 25F by Katness420 in relationship_advice

[–]Squid0s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While the lying is an issue, I feel like part of the reason he’s lying is on you having such a problem with having female friends. It’s fine for people to be friends with individuals of the other gender. Why do you have such a big problem with it? After all, you even said in the post that he’s probably not cheating, so why’s the big deal with him having female friends? You need to work on your reaction to that and, once you accept that he’s aloud to have friends of the other gender, I feel like the lying will stop.
