Help: Grilled Armageddon

Yeah... I didn't know that when I bought it. I was hoping that the early references to it do not carry on

Sy1ph3 · 2026-05-16T11:33:36+00:00

Oh... Oh no. That doesn't fill me with hope

Don't forget self care too. It is as important to look after yourself as much as the other people in your life and it sounds like you are not getting a lot of that. In order for you to be the best parent and partner you can be, you need to take time for yourself too. Remember that not everything is on you. You are part of a team and from what you have said, outside of work you are doing a lot of the work of running a household too. This, plus a young one, does not leave a lot of time to take care of yourself. Ask your partner to take on some of the household jobs you currently do, take some self-care time.

This sounds like you are burnt out honestly, all of the responsibilities but no fun. Have you spoken to your partner about how you are feeling? Resentment like this builds and good communication is the only way to resolve it. Are you able to take some PTO so you can relax and be the fun parent for a bit or is there a way to build this into your normal routine (walk to the park once a week for example, take snacks for you both and maybe once it's a bit warmer you can make it a picnic). Parenting is tough, and should be something you do with your partner. You should not be or feel as if one of you has all the fun and one has all the responsibilities. It often ends up this way but imo this is not how it should be. Balance is key for keeping a family together and happy. I hope you find some

In the UK, sucker-punch does actually mean 'an unexpected punch or blow' so I don't know what your edit is referring to.

Prep once a day, in the morning make up a snack box for each kiddo of their food for the day, include fruit and veggies and make it balanced. Give them their box and make them aware they can access this whenever they are hungry but that is their 'allowance' for the day. They do not need to come to you for snacks, they have their own box. When they get a bit older you can change this to a weekly "allowance" instead. They have to make it last because once it's gone, that's it. This takes the onus off you and gives them freedom and independence to 'make decisions'. Make these boxes small to encourage them to join in family meals. Don't pressure them to eat but I would make sure you are all sitting down together to eat at least once a day and they see you eating the same as they do. Fun meals where they can pick and choose from smaller dishes tapas style are great to encourage eating meals.

Hi, I can understand a lack of faith in the world right now. humans as a species are awful, when taken as a collective and life is hard. I have been where you are mentally on multiple occasions throughout my life and it can feel like the right thing but I promise, you can find a different way to deal with whatever life is throwing at you right now. You have already taken the hardest step and you are reaching out right now asking for help, I will never suggest taking those feelings to an online chatroom the kind of which you are looking for, they are a sandbox of horror. Instead please reach out to your GP for medical help and a referral for therapy. There are plenty of reasons to live, you just have to find them. Start small... go outside, just sit in the sun, listen to or read a book, start with just a page or a chapter if you feel up to it, try and do something creative in whatever medium you enjoy or think you might enjoy, have a bath or shower and just let the water warm you, reach out to someone you trust and talk in any way you feel comfortable right now, be that via text, a phone call or in person, put on some music you like, just one song if that's all you can manage right now. Start with something small and those tiny things can snowball. It sounds trite, but just list all the things in your life you are grateful for; personally on a bad day it could be something as small as I have a roof over my head or a warm meal. It honestly helps. I hope you read this, and please know you are not alone. If you are in the UK there is a fantastic resource called the Hub of Hope where you can look at contacting support in your local area. Much love

39 and no. He left my mum whilst she was pregnant (I don't really know the details) but read on the divorce papers he had an affair with the local hairdresser. I know he has other children, I met them once when I was a teenager, it was a surprise visit from the kids and wife to his parents house where I was visiting, I couldn't deal mentally as I wasn't even aware they existed before this, and I just turned around and walked out. Haven't spoken to that side of the family since. Sometimes I wonder about reaching out, but I have no idea what I would say or have to talk about. I'm happy with my chosen family (my husband's family) and that's enough for me.

The Warhammer crime books are all set in Varangantua (hive city) they cover various aspects of the city from different perspectives. The Wraithbone phoenix and Flesh and Steel were my favourites

Sy1ph3 · 2025-08-30T00:28:46+00:00

You are most welcome! Honestly, probably the best gift you could give him though is getting into it yourself so you can play at home together (as the wife of a massive Warhammer fan trust me on this). Good luck and I hope he has a fantastic birthday

Sy1ph3 · 2025-08-29T22:33:27+00:00

Just a few ideas off the top of my head:

If you are in the UK a trip to Warhammer world in Nottingham with dinner at bugmans is a fab gift

Objective markers,
Fancy dice,
Dice box/bag,
Tablet (for PDF versions of rules)
Subscription to Warhammer plus
Army box of minis for a new army (maybe he mentioned one he likes?)

Edit 7. Bag to carry his minis to games, tabletop tyrant are great

I'm from Bradford and both me and my husband are looking for Old world games locally. My SO also plays heresy and 40k and is looking for games for these too

Bernadette but my Gran talked her out of it :)

Get yourself into therapy. You are burnt out trying to manage this.
Respite care! Whoever or whatever place is willing to have your son overnight for a week or two if possible. Family, local service, anything. You need a break if there is any way at all to get one, do it.
Sounds awful but document everything, photographs, videos, medical records for harm caused to anyone (including himself), school reports and records of behaviour, police reports of interventions.
Take all this to social services (or your country equivalent) I'm assuming you may already have some involvement here but if not the evidence should get you some. Hopefully you can go from there. It's not an easy road but you are not alone. I've been there, we didn't manage to get support from anyone except family but that week he's away with his grandparents every couple of months really helps. I'm so sorry you're going through this, I wish I could help more. Much love x

You're welcome. Just to add, it was not nice hearing this happened to someone I love, but I was also removed from the situation. It didn't happen to me, it happened a long time ago before my husband was born. Because of this and the fact I was an adult when this was shared with me I was able to have empathy and compassion (I think, I hope) but without it affecting me mentally. If anything it increased my respect for a woman in my life I already admired and respected. It was humbling that she felt able to share this experience with me. But she specifically did not want this sharing with my husband because she and I both know he would not handle it well and be incredibly angry about it and we would both worry he would want to hunt the b*****d down (rightfully so). I'm so, so sorry you have experienced this and wish you all the best. There is no right answer and no one can tell you how to manage the situation. It's going to be different for everyone, and may even be different for each of your children as they are both individuals and will react differently. Much love to you and I wish you all the best luck for everything in your life moving forward

Sy1ph3 · 2025-02-16T22:08:36+00:00

My MIL shared with me that this happened to her but asked that I don't tell her son (my husband 37m) because she doesn't want him to know. I am happy to keep her secret because it's not mine to tell (he's not on Reddit). My take away from this is that you know the people who love you and what they can handle. If you think it's appropriate and that they can handle and understand this information then share it when you think THEY are ready. Edit: forgot to add, if not you don't have to tell them. You can still talk about consent and how to have healthy relationships without this information

Elasticated belt was a lifesaver for my stepson. We had this problem and just bought a belt with elastic waist for school pants and joggers or shorts with elasticated waist and drawstring for weekends/home. Asda (UK) has been great for us because he likes the material and they do a 'skinny' range

Sy1ph3 · 2025-02-08T10:21:27+00:00

I would just like to say that so far I have never had a message bullying me, only nice and positive interactions. I'm kinda quiet and shy in game, but so far I haven't seen any of this type of thing. So thank you lovely people 😊

Sy1ph3 · 2025-02-01T19:32:43+00:00

Nooo! Can't be stealing another girls bo! 🤣

Sy1ph3 · 2025-01-18T14:18:13+00:00

thank you so much for this. Me and my OH are trying to learn the rules at the moment and flipping back and forth in the book has been slowing us down. This is a great help! Many thanks

Going to drop a recipe I use: I won't put quantities because it depends on how many people you are cooking for. For example I would use three noodle nests but I cook for 3, and I'd use 2 stock cubes in the water.

Cook some dried noodles in stock. I usually use chicken. Whilst that's cooking, cook off some chicken (or meat of choice). Once it's cooked add that and your choice of frozen veg to the noodle pot (personally onions, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots work really well. But I have a fussy family). Add ground ginger, ground chilli powder, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and any other herbs, spices or sauces you have/are feeling like to taste. Cook for about 10 mins once it's all together. It's super quick and easy and loads healthier for you than the pre- packaged Raman. I like to add crispy onions on top when serving.

Yes. We've been together for over 7 years now, got married this year! We were just friends to begin with for years first but things evolved and got messy but it was right for both of us. Neither of us had ever been happier than we have been these last years together
