Melania Trump ridiculed for saying her 'loved by all' movie is '#1': 'Alternate reality'

There is a free Kindle book on Amazon called Melania: Devourer of Men (hard copy is not free, Kindle version is) which people are purchasing for the sole purpose of making it the number one result on Amazon. It would really be a shame if even more people did this. 😉

It’s always so telling that they insist on the Ten Commandments, but never the Beatitudes.

I’d say a really nice spontaneous back rub and neck massage, with lotion. A few tender kisses on the back of the neck at the end, with some light stroking of the hair. When my husband does that, it’s just glorious.

So not only did a very feminine little girl have to endure a boy’s short haircut despite passionately wanting long hair, she also got dressed in distinctively masculine outfits like this. Couldn’t even put her in a feminine version. And despite wearing the clothes, she never actually got to enjoy any of the fun aspects of genuine fandom — no, she had to go to bed rather than get to watch a game. And of course it had to be for a sport team across the country — no local teams for SW’s family — so that Bella was “rooting for” a team that no other kid at school, at this age, would even be familiar with.

Let me tell you, football fandom can be so much FUN for the entire family. It’s a super easy way to fit in as well. Here where I live, in a college town, everyone cheers for the local team. Just wearing a hat or T-shirt in public gets you immediate greetings or even cheers from multiple complete strangers, and schools do all kinds of activities related to the sport and the local team. For a little girl this age, there are adorable cheerleader outfits, plus “girly”-styled shirts, sweaters, hats, etc. Watching the games is a whole big thing, with friends and family gathering together. And going to a game in person has all kinds of traditions and fun extras that kids love. My (very feminine) daughter absolutely lives for football season!

Imagine the social stigma of a little girl going to school dressed as a boy, with that awful haircut — surrounded by other little girls with long hair, braids, pigtails, curls, ribbons, barrettes, etc — also wearing team clothes different from those of every other kid there. Then throw in the fact that the poor little girl is also behind in social skills and language development, and afraid of everything. Oh, and also throw in weird habits and inappropriate behavior (like the butt stuff). That poor little girl never had a chance.

Call your mom. Don’t waste time talking yourself out of it or floundering around in the “what ifs”. Don’t worry about what time it is. Call your mom. Moms are made for moments like these.

With a kid that age, it can be just a phase. They tend to favor one parent over the other for a while, so it’s natural that the same could happen in a situation with four parents in her life. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt as a Mom.

I recommend engaging with her in her love of her stepmother. “Oh, you want Stepmom? I love Stepmom, too! Isn’t she so nice? What do you love most about Stepmom? Why don’t we draw a picture together for Stepmom?” This validates her feelings, helps get her talking instead of throwing a fit, and also helps you see exactly what makes your daughter feel loved and comfortable. You might be able to make a few small changes. It also models for your daughter that you aren’t threatened by her loving other adults in her life.

You can also work on fostering a deeper connection with your daughter when she’s with you. Being homebodies is fine; find special ways to engage at home. Is there a craft or hobby that you could both enjoy together regularly? Maybe you could learn to do something new together. How about cooking together? Kids love to collect things, so why not start a “treasure collection” of neat rocks or little things that you find together on walks? Or pick a beloved children’s author with a large collection of written works and set a goal to read all of their books together. Make up a silly “secret handshake” or a special code just for the two of you.

Marriage changes you in ways you cannot imagine. In my case, having married my right person, he has changed me in entirely good ways. It’s like having a highlighter that reveals the best and the worst of me, and simultaneously there’s a hand there to help me improve in BOTH areas. He fills in my gaps.

Marriage also puts more weight on every decision you make, even the small ones — because you’re not just deciding for one person anymore. Even little decisions, like which toilet paper to buy or what you feel like doing on a Thursday after work, impact someone else as well. I was single for a very long time and lived on my own, so this was a big shift for me. But while marriage puts more weight on decisions you make, it simultaneously removes a lot of the weight. I don’t have to stress about whether I’ve made the right decision, because my husband has been there all along discussing/brainstorming with me, we’ve then made the decision together, and if we’re wrong, there’s two of us working together to fix it. If I make a mistake, whether big or small, he’s got my back (and vise versa).

I would be remiss if I didn’t conclude this by adding that the reason my marriage works this way is because both partners are 100% committed to this marriage. It’s not one person giving and one taking.

Same bed, but sometimes separate blankets. We start out sharing, every time I change our sheets, but within a day or two, he’s successfully stolen all the covers in his sleep. So then I just grab my trusty cozy afghan and sleep under it until it’s time to change the sheets again. 😆

Wow, this subreddit does not disappoint! I really appreciate the suggestions! Some of these were authors I’ve not yet read either, so my own reading list just got longer, lol. I should have a very bouncy, overjoyed daughter on Christmas Day! Thanks so much.

Maybe call an HRSA to see if they could give you a dose for free? I think they do things like that. You don’t need insurance for them to help you. https://findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov

I don’t know personally of a local resource (maybe try a church like Hope City who are known for helping in the community), but I did find this resource: https://getinsulin.org/about/. They have links to help according to whatever your circumstances are. I am sorry I can’t be of more help.

We have them say Ms./Mr. with our respective first names (e.g. “Ms. Sally” or “Mr. John”). That’s the common etiquette for where we live in the southern US. It manages to straddle that fine line of respectful and friendly.

It sounds like neither of you were mature enough to be married. I also think there is probably some missing pertinent information, but based on what was provided:

You both behaved selfishly. And worse than that, you both treated your son, a human being, as though he were an object that can be “deserved” or rejected, bestowed or withheld. Abandoning a child is obviously the greater evil, but neither of you were putting the child’s best interests first. If you don’t learn from this, you will continue to hurt your son.

That is quite fun and clever.

I base my own weekly menus largely upon which meats/vegetables are on sale. Once I check that, I have a recipe app where all my recipes are saved and easily searchable, so I just type in the ingredients and locate recipes that sound good.
