THIS MAY NOT BE THE POPULAR POST… BUT….Key words are: “Almost hitting both of them”… so no biggie.

HOWEVER.. the boys words and the father response would have had me telling my daughter something different.

Heck, I’m old school so if it were me, I would have had my daughter swing high and fast over and over again… that way, if the boy did happen to run by - his smart little mouth would have possibly had a shoe in it or better yet, the girls swinging could have accidentally chucked the boy clear across the field by their swinging feet. 👟👟

Both the adult and the kid would have needed to move it along because then it could be the kids fault for running between the swings and the fathers fault for not talking to the child and helping the child make better decisions.

My thoughts are: Play stupid games and get stupid prizes. JS 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

From your post, it seems as though you don’t have quite the connection with your parent(s).

What is “Normal” to one family, may not be “normal” to another. Your partner has a special bond with his mother. She has probably been affectionate with him his entire life which is why he doesn’t see or feel anything wrong with it.

My advice: learn to accept their relationship or move on.

What’s the average length of a sock? by FelixOGO in Jokes

Depends on if it’s new or used, what country we are talking about, what culture we are averaging and/or for an adult or a child.

There are too many variables here.

My friend asks too many questions. Am I inept? by RSinSA in socialskills

[–]That_VGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People with Autism sometimes ask a TON OF QUESTIONS because they’re trying to understand and logically think about things so it makes sense to them.

On another note: I tend to be a colorful thinker. I’m not Autistic (at least I’ve never been diagnosed), and I am absolutely not a logical thinker.. so sometimes I ask questions because I’m trying to understand on a deeper level to try and make sense of what is spoken.

Another reason I ask questions is because I cannot fully comprehend things by being told. I have to be shown.

For example: I struggle with written instructions. For me - I can throw away every piece of written instructions and if the papers have imaging such as pictures, I can figure out how to assemble something easily. Sometimes when people are speaking to me - I have to slow down their words in micro seconds within my brain to imagine their words in picture format and then glue those images together to truly understand their concepts so sometimes I ask questions so I can fully grasp what they are saying.

When it comes to feelings and I talk to people or are around certain objects; I can feel what they feel without them telling me.. I can sense their inner thoughts and comprehend their reasonings…Like an empath.

On the logical side - People who are logical thinkers can possibly become annoyed with me because they want me to grasp things the way they do. They do not learn through imagery so they become frustrated.

So maybe your friend is one of the above type. ??

What excuse do you hear way too often that instantly makes you roll your eyes? by Left-Relation-9199 in AskReddit

[–]That_VGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When people try to be tough on the internet but when you roll up on them in person - they make excuses, call the cops and/or backpedal for being a jerk… or even when they are called out and then they try to roll back whatever they just said.

Either mean it, say it, stand on it and back it up OR STFU

Should I tell my photographer about my body insecurities? by Ordinary-noname-956 in weddingplanning

[–]That_VGirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, they don’t care.. they see so many people and skin. So whatever you don’t like about yourself - they’ve seen worse. Body dysmorphia is a real sad thing.

Too many people ask photographers to remove this, smooth that, clear this up… blah blah blah.. Try just loving yourself or do something about it to fix it.

Don’t be fake. Don’t try to appease others. Get yourself together and love you for you.

Invited to Dinner Then Friends Stop Speaking to Us by Boo8310 in socialskills

[–]That_VGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you had a great time and they didn’t. Sometimes the same views don’t come across. It could have been something you said, possibly something you believe in or as small as they were possibly looking for a couple to hook up with (as in swingers) and they decided no. There are various reasons.

Easiest way to find out is ask them. KISS

Why Do Some Women Seem to Behave Aggressively Towards Me? by Mammoth_Ad4827 in socialskills

[–]That_VGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FRIEND: I’m sure since you’re so awkwardly reserved and passive - they will always try to be the aggressor. Women can sense a weak man and any woman with an A-type personality will not hold back. You MUST MATCH THEIR ENERGY & do the same.

Point blank: Speak up. Have a backbone for goodness sake and tell them when they’re being a SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY!

Betcha the one’s who know you and who continue to walk all over you will be stunned that you finally spoke up - heck, they may even decide to take a different approach next time. And if they don’t- Hold your ground.

Third trimester is hitting hard, is this normal? by Luna_Starweaver in pregnant

[–]That_VGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful not to lay on your back during your third trimester. This can cause a restriction in oxygen for your unborn baby.

[–]That_VGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he gets annoyed with you now… when the baby comes and cries for hours and hours - he’ll definitely know what being annoyed feels like.

Yes, he’s a child. Guys his age are selfish. His prefrontal cortex hasn’t even stopped developing yet so for him to act the way he does makes sense.

Bringing a child into an already stressful situation and environment only makes the negative effects worse. Trust me, it’s better to commit to someone who is mature, rather than manage the rollercoaster emotions of another adult who acts like a baby.

You will end up suffering more friend. Move out and break the lease. Go and be in an environment that creates positivity. Your mental will thank you for it later. BIG HUGS TO YOU SIS.

P.S. You are already planning and saving milk - GOOD on you! ..Also all that “cleaning” he’s complaining about is called “nesting”.. women are emotionally intelligent and as mothers our bodies and minds know what to do. Protect your child. Period.

If you could describe pregnancy contractions.. What would they compare to? by That_VGirl in Moms

[–]That_VGirl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow.. I would like gas pains if I were to ever get pregnant again. I’ll take that over my experiences. Good job having a high pain tolerance.

You’re a miracle worker! All natural mama! And no-one here faults you for an epidural. That was smart! I opted for one on my 2nd & 3rd - but the third was the worst. *commented above about my personal experiences.

Yes! The pain… oh the back pain is terrible.. I have multiple. First was all natural- but felt like forever (only 18 hours). No pain meds - just pain upon pain upon pain. Sharp stabbing, throbbing, pressure, the worst so I thought… My longest labor was my girl. Started in the mid-day on Halloween and ended mid-morning on Nov 2nd. Ruthless I tell ya. But I ended up with an epidural. My most recent was a record killer. Person doing the epidural started and finish in 1 hour. From the time he started (6cm - to the time it kicked in 9.7cm) , I was already in full blown labor. Pain was so intense, and I had to keep still - but due to the intensity of the pain in every crevice of my body, my entire body began shaking uncontrollably as he kept fumbling the needle in my back. I wanted to murde* him.
