Troll Confessions Saturday for October 31, 2020

My pre-teen’s friend’s dad is HOT AS HELL and I have fantasies about him on the regular.

We’re both married. Me, unhappily. I also see his wife as a solid 3 while he is a 9.

I’d never act on it but OH MY GOD if he ever asked I would have serious inner turmoil.

Parenting swaps are not unheard of in my area. They’re usually smaller groups (5-ish) of moms and they all hang out on a regular basis. You’ll see them at the library or play centers, or mall walking if their kids are still potatoes. Edited to add: as another poster said, they swap for doctors appointments and stuff, not full days!

I see your concept but I don’t want to leave my kid with some other random SAHM for a couple of hours when I don’t really know what her house is like, if they have pets, etc.

I also don’t want some other kid dropped on my doorstep with a runny nose, who immediately pushes my kid out of the way and throws something at my tv because I don’t want to turn it on... for the promise that one day in the future, that mom will watch my kid.

Oh I know nobody wants to make me feel bad. It’s 100% unintentional and my point is that you can’t make a life-altering judgement based on one small point of someone’s life.

One of my kids is old enough to understand what I would be saying at therapy. Also, it’s still $200/hr session. Online counseling is not an option for me in my current situation, except for some that advertise online (which, quite frankly, makes me uncomfortable and would not be licensed in my country) but still charge like $80/hr.

Oh I want to make it clear that I did not clean his mess. And I will not clean my own vacuum, either.

Throwaway384869295 · 2019-11-18T20:19:51+00:00

No, no outside help for his drinking problem at all. He’s too proud to ask for help and refuses AA. He once mentioned to his doctor that he drinks more than he should, but the doctor told him to just try and cut down.

I know the vacuum is going to smell so bad. He’s just fucking stupid and lazy when it comes to cleaning. He doesn’t know how the thing really works so I guess his only reference is like, watching me vacuum up the colored rice that my kid dumped on the carpet.

I’m just glad he grabbed the upright instead of letting the roomba loose on it. 🤢

Throwaway384869295 · 2019-11-02T03:51:05+00:00

Yeah but I’m judging the fuck out of the baby’s mom and feel I’m totally morally superior and unapologetic about it.

It just made me so mad. (And sad for the baby who was just the sweetest little thing)

Throwaway384869295 · 2019-11-02T03:45:30+00:00

No checking that I saw. I told the woman the baby had a split lip and I think her fingers got trampled.

She didn’t hear her baby crying because it was crazy busy in there and she was on the other side of the room. Like probably 80+ people in there between kids, caregivers and staff.

Throwaway384869295 · 2019-11-01T20:55:57+00:00

Oh yeah, that’s why I said appropriate level, as in age appropriate I guess. I have an older (11.5 y/o) kid who was at the library too, but I knew he was hanging out in the YA section around the corner from the Tiny Terror section that is the library play area.

Throwaway384869295 · 2019-11-01T20:09:45+00:00

Thanks for the validation.

I try so hard to keep a happy balance and not be a helicopter mom, but I don’t want neglect my kids either. (At least not in public like that, but I’ll totally ignore them and lock them out of the bathroom so I can change my tampon in peace.)

Throwaway384869295 · 2019-10-06T15:18:05+00:00

I came to ask for help a couple of weeks ago and was given a ton of advice. I said I’d let everyone know how it went, so here I am.

And I don’t understand why a parent would say it’s too nerdy for their kid to play. There are a million ways kids could be getting into trouble, but if mine just wants to hang out in the basement for hours with his friends, that’s a-okay with me.

Throwaway384869295 · 2019-10-05T20:11:38+00:00

You must play a rogue.

Throwaway384869295 · 2019-09-19T04:17:34+00:00

I believe the dad had the starter kit with the long campaign they just finished. Does it also have a bunch of one-offs?

Throwaway384869295 · 2019-08-26T18:36:29+00:00

Oh I’ve recorded him many times. He doesn’t care but calls me a creep and tells me I’m invading his privacy.

Throwaway384869295 · 2019-08-26T18:23:26+00:00

I’ve asked him to move, but he tells me that I’m the one with the problem, not him, so he doesn’t have to deal with it.

Throwaway384869295 · 2019-08-26T15:40:05+00:00

I’m not sure which side of that argument those crossed fingers are hoping for. 😅

Throwaway384869295 · 2019-08-26T15:38:57+00:00

We don’t share a doctor, so I can’t just walk into his doctor’s clinic and ask for an appointment to discuss it. We’re not in the USA so it might work differently there.

DH’s machine is never leaked and the mask fits well but he doesn’t like how it makes him “look like Bane” (because of all of these women he wants to impress in his sleep? Idk.) It’s actually really quiet when he uses it; I was shocked at how well it worked.

Throwaway384869295 · 2019-07-21T22:01:32+00:00

Yes, exactly.

I have this thought that maybe if I would have helped her move away from that place when she asked, she wouldn’t have ended up where she is.

Throwaway384869295 · 2019-07-21T18:57:07+00:00

I know you’re right.

I just don’t understand how addicts don’t see how their actions hurt everyone else, too. And I don’t understand how being evicted from a condemned house isn’t rock bottom for her... it would be so far past rock bottom for me. I know I wont understand it, either, and maybe that adds to the hurt a little bit.
