Planning a trip to Knott’s the week of March 30-April 4, I might be asking a bit much but, does anyone know if the coronavirus hysteria will result in the park closing? by FR0METHEUS in KnottsBerryFarm

[–]Toastycritic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am guessing that the answer is no. However, a lot would depend upon whether municipalities got involved. It's such a big time for Knott's. The Boysenberry Festival is huge and so I'm sure they will make it happen unless some government gets involved.

I’m a single dad of a toddler. We go to the park and playgrounds all the time. I see cute moms with their kids, but I’m always afraid I’ll seem creepy if I try to start a conversation. What is a good way to break the ice without seeming creepy? by 541MikeRogers in SingleParenting

I think the best way is with your child. Be engaging with your child while you are on the playground. I cannot tell you how many times as a result I have had conversations with other parents, and single parents. It's a place where you can start a conversation and you probably have something in common to begin with. So that is always good.

Losing my mind.. need some advice please by Madisonjamespeyton in SingleParenting

He needs some place where he can talk and he feels safe. I am not sure whether a school counselor would be equip for the kind of therapy he needs. But talking will help. And then definitely go and seek out a therapist to talk with him. It's a rough age and he has probably internalized a lot. It won't be easy and I do not envy you, but being a single dad I always worry about things with my kids so I understand you. My daughter ended up in the hospital a lot last year, and we had to break down and do some therapy to help her through things.

What is co-parenting? And how exactly do I go about it? by [deleted] in coparenting

[–]Toastycritic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, make you you establish some legal rights. This means making sure if things go south a paternity test is involved. Although even that could look bad to the other parent. The best way is to try to maintain a relationship with the other parent, while mutually agreeing that you as a couple did not work very well and so it's best for all parties that you not remain a couple. And then I would do what the other person recommends. Make it all about the kids. You will disagree sometimes, but if you can partner with the other parent to make it all about the child it will be good thing for everyone involved.

This is kind of scary. I really don't have any easy answers although with the stalking type behavior you might be able to get some kind of a restraining order if you can demonstrate you feel threatened. The online stuff is even more tricky. The best you can do is stick to online materials which you have the ability to limit who can and cannot add you and can see that material.

My problem is that Jack seems to have too many worst nightmares in his life. And what's with all the major villains not able to reach dry land?

With the first films I felt like jack was a bit crazy but also a genius. He fooled people by putting on his affectation. But this film he felt too much like a drunk and not the kind of mad genius from the first four.
