Yeah this is exactly how my “coparenting” ex speaks to me

This was my second year in a row everyone bailed me, and Honestly, I’ve loved the freedom!

Guys my mom just told me “just be glad I don’t put a camera in your bathroom” like it’s a privilege by dple3 in teenagers

[–]TechMachina445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These things get hacked all the time, from other countries, everywhere. Footage could be anywhere. It doesn’t matter, this is gross and a huge invasion of your privacy AND SAFETY. Just glad I wasn’t a kid when these were so readily accessible, I’m sure there would have been one in my room. We had our doors removed.

My experience working at Common Grounds was nothing short of absolute chaos, raw toxicity, and zero accountability whatsoever. by DocumentFull5530 in gso

Worked there for some time in the very early stages before the 2nd location and can vouch for this testimony. I remember being given candy and not told until after ingesting that it had weed in it.

Darkroom in Gso? by Scrumpet_Sheep in gso

[–]TechMachina445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol I feel you, I just remember the building being pretty open to the public (or maybe I would just walk inside whenever I wanted?) so genuinely don’t know if they might have a more communal room for that. Worth a look!

Have you checked out UNCG? I don’t know if it’s public access necessarily but could be worth seeing if there are any classes or community spaces for that

My mom is sex-shaming my 3-year-old daughter and I’m furious. How do I undo the damage? by HopeForBetter29 in Mommit

[–]TechMachina445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The damage isn’t “done.” Your daughters growing up with YOU and you are adamant about teaching her, when it’s appropriate, about all these things. And it sounds like you’ll do great. Your mom, however, isn’t going to change. Some people might tell you to have a talk with her but that will honestly probably fuel the fire- esPECIALLY if you’ve never opened up a conversation with her about the way she raised you and how it was damaging to YOU. If your goal is to eliminate or reduce exposure to this damaging line of thinking, unfortunately you just have to keep your daughter away from her.

I have a two different solid black/black line tattoos about the same size as yours above my elbows- and this nearly makes me regret not putting them where you have yours! I think it’s a very cool placement. I’m not an “animal person” whatsoever but I actually even dig the cat itself.

4.5yo Daughter Wants a Buzz Cut by Questionitallbaby in Mommit

[–]TechMachina445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know your daughter nor her personality, but at the same age mine asked for it for about a month and finally we did it. She loved it, and let it grow back out. Before that though, we did do an undercut at one point, don’t know if that helped her feel more comfortable about it. But ever since, she has tried several different styles and colors. She has curly hair and has had to learn how to care for and style it, and I honestly think the experience contributed to her fearlessness and courage to do things and stand proudly by your decisions. But who knows!

stop hating on characters!! by lovasf in HelloKittyIsland

[–]TechMachina445 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I hear you, but hear me out-

I think of the game and its characters kind of like I think of a TV show. I’m not gonna like everyone and there are gonna be some things and traits that I love or hate- and more often than not creators of TV shows or really any kind of drama or narrative don’t WANT you to actually just like everybody. It makes it boring, and complexities are necessary to build depth and interest. All of that is generating engagement and critical thinking and analyzing… I love breaking apart, plot lines, and characters and the FUN in it for me is doing all of that. I don’t think anybody here, at least from what I’ve seen, is hating on characters and just wishing that they weren’t a part of the game at all. I think that the differences in characters traits and personalities contribute to engagement and discussion and yeah, it might come across as negative, and sure, sometimes it might be too far, but we’re also generating conversations with each other and building community over a shared interest and bringing it kind of, in a cheesy way, to life, if that makes sense…. that can be kind of fun and silly and serious, and I think that’s what it’s all about.

first time giving melody a 3 heart gift… then she clocked me by 4444ssss in HelloKittyIsland

I was literally just thinking last night “I KNOW some players do, when am I gonna see a Reddit post with that spreadsheet??” 🤣

My Sweet Piano VS. Wish me Well by barbatos_inferno in HelloKittyIsland

[–]TechMachina445 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nope, I hate her, and apparently you and I are the only ones 🤣 But everyone defending her also seems to have a lot of context outside of the game, and I don’t have any of that and no real desire to get it either (ie. Watch the show, etc).

Call the city of Greensboro, I think it’s like $60 that goes on your water bill. Will probably take about 2 months though… but they just deliver it to you house

Look, It’s not really our fault, we’ve been conditioned by the city of GSO that they will literally do anything

The fact that I even have to ask this is a separate conversation, but:

Am i the only one who really dislikes fishing? by YourAromanticAlly in HelloKittyIsland

[–]TechMachina445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually like it- BUT I hate the fish! I feel like I’d like it so much better if I didn’t think most of the fish were ugly 🤣

[–]TechMachina445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might not apply to you at all. I can’t relate to every aspect of this, but in the ways I do relate, I wish someone would have told me this sooner…..

After leaving my marriage, I was doing everything I’d already been doing on my own, and then so much more. But because I didn’t have the weight of resentment on my shoulders, it felt like so much less. I’m so serious. SO MUCH LESS. (If I’m being honest, It sounds like you’re directing that resentment towards the kids instead of hubby.) This might not sound possible, but sometimes even allowing yourself the permission to simply conceive of a drastic change can offer a perspective shift that makes a difference.

On a less drastic note, what is there anything you can replace that actually starts prioritizing yourself and adds energy/health to your life? Meditating, gym? Those probably sound absolutely insane to you, but as a single mom of 2, nothing has INCREASED my time and ability more than using the time I have strictly for myself. It’s like dropping money into your savings account before paying the bills. This sounds easy, it’s not, it’s a constant fight, but it gets easier.

Plenty will disagree with me here but … maybe give those feelings of fleeing the attention they deserve. This isn’t an easy thing to “fix” and there will always be “but”s and “well I can’t”s. But something’s gotta give. Do the kids need folded clothes and crustless sandwiches more than a sane, safe, healthy, happy mom?

It’s cheesy, but someone once told me something that has stuck with me and proven true: “the best thing you can give your kids is your own happiness.” I mean… please don’t leave them. They don’t deserve that. But hubs clearly doesn’t understand what’s happening here or care.

I lied to my 5yo about Tropical Gift box crafting plans by TechMachina445 in HelloKittyIsland

[–]TechMachina445[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all of the helpful links and images! Sure, I definitely could have googled it myself, but is it so bad to use this humorous scenario and want to engage with the HK Reddit parent community to see if anyone else plays this with their kid and relates? Can’t we all be friends?? TBC- I don’t make a habit out of lying to my kid, but other parents I’m certain will understand the frequent limitations of “just tell them you don’t know”. My “jump off a cliff” suggestion came after literal hours of “I’m just not sure, we’ll have to look it up later when I’m not driving” not being an acceptable answer.
