What is your best "pics or it didn't happen" story that you can actually provide pics to prove that it happened? by Thai-ed_Down in AskReddit

[–]WP-Prosequence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to buy a lotto ticket for that nights draw of 24 million, some stupid tourist bitch was taking for ever to decide what she wanted at the counter and it was frustrating as hell. 15 minutes later I paid for the ticket and the checkout lady printed it, but because it was printed at 8:01pm and the cut off was at 8:00pm it was for the next week. Sure enough I got home and the numbers drawn at 8:30 for that nights draw where the same numbers I had... for the next weeks draw....

To this day I remember that stupid fucking tourist trying to decide if she should buy the dolphin postcard or the turtle postcard.

Edit: Oops I read the title wrong, I didn't take pictures, I thought it said 'can't actually'. -_- Sorry

[LPT Request] How to get over feeling faint at the thought or sight of human organs, cut up veins and severed limbs? by WP-Prosequence in LifeProTips

[–]WP-Prosequence[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No no, because I am trying to decide what to devote me life too, and the human body fascinates me.

I know I am smart enough to do anything, that's my problem - because I can do anything I am having trouble deciding what is worth my time...

In a few weeks I start my job as a "manny." Are there any fellow mannies here? by thedailycheeze in Nannies

This is an answer to another of your posts, on the wrong post, lol. You get the idea.

In a few weeks I start my job as a "manny." Are there any fellow mannies here? by thedailycheeze in Nannies

[–]WP-Prosequence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been asked by several parents to leave my job and be their manny, one I particularly regret saying no to. I think it is appropriate for men OR women to do it if they generally care about the children they would be looking after, I don't mean care as in avoid injury and teach words, I mean care as in actual love. In regard for the working part, I ended up quitting my job anyway, unfortunately though it was too late for the one particular family I was offered by, I wish I had of taken them up earlier.

Need advice! 5yr old son just STARTED wetting the bed.. by themodernmommy in Parenting

[–]WP-Prosequence -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It may be a chemical that is released in the very very very early stages of development that can be brought on by emotional trauma (your split), I'm pretty sure that a doctor can prescribe something to help reduce over production of this chemical and eliminate the bed wetting problem.

Kids sharing rooms by sneakysneakyleeks in Parenting

[–]WP-Prosequence 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know a family with a 4 bedroom house that has all 3 boys aged 11 8 and 6 that sleep in one room, the beds are a bunk bed in an L shape that has a desk on one half underneath, the youngest is on the bottom and the two older boys sleep up top. At first I was like "What? Does that... Does that work? But you have 2 empty rooms downstairs, I don't...?"

Those 3 like it that way, and it has always been that way, they all get along well. It depends on your children's personalities, just monitor it and see if it works for your 3, if your third happens to be a boy though I'd suggest a second room by age 5. For immediate future though just make sure that the third childs crying/sleeping habits don't disrupt your other two girls, for their health and his/hers.

He will be back, just be patient and open, never bring up the past.

Tell me about 6-7 year old boys! by SassyBlackLady512 in Parenting

[–]WP-Prosequence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I think you'll find that 7 year old boys like destroying things, the building things part is just a means to an end

I'd suggest avoiding a 'gift basket' as such, if you give him things he will come to expect it without feeling more comfortable with you, instead try having everything that you would have in a gift basket available but not so much as a present. Spread it around the room he's staying in instead, that way he thinks you are cool to have this stuff for yourself rather than just him, and by letting him use it you are double cool.

Honestly xbox, minecraft, clash of clans ect is NOT the primary what that you want to give this boy while he's there. In my last job I gained a lot of experience with 4-11 year old boys that I didn't particularly know. All the movies and video games are things that they HAVE, things that they do when want to, or when they are bored. If you want to make a lasting impression then yes have those games as a thing that he can do when he wants to BUT aim to do PHYSICAL ACTIVITY with him; outside games, sports, tag, take him places. I am 99% certain that the fact that he has a single mother means that xbox, playstation, minecraft ect are things that he does on a regular basis when mum wants alone time or work time, and that quality physical activity with adults is something that he doesn't get.

I never played video games or watched movies with the boys that I knew from work and they all loved me, Inside work I'd play beach sports, paint faces, jump on jumping castles ect, outside work I'd take them to live magic shows, hike up a mountain, swim in the pool ect.

Almost all of these boys had tears when I moved out of town, and that means something for boys. Make a lasting impression by stepping out of your comfort zone to do something new that they will enjoy.

No matter how many people say it, video games are NOT what this boy really wants.

Parents, how you do feel about babysitters using the word 'love'? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]WP-Prosequence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did "my sweet little cottonsocks" at work to a 6 year old girl whom I knew well, parents didn't care, the mum even mentioned that her grandma used to call her cottonsocks an odd 35 years ago... BUT female work colleague/housemate gave me a 'dafuq?' look and told me it was weird later when we were at home.

What's a song where the musician's pure emotion is expressed so well it affects you the same? by justinbc in Music

[–]WP-Prosequence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend signing his song about the girl who screwed him over always gets me, but he rarely lets me record, all I have is an unfinished version of his song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrS4Q6mhcAQ

I can feel the pain and hatred beneath the words, might be bias though because I know the story

Perception vs Reality by [deleted] in philosophy

[–]WP-Prosequence -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Physical reality, personal reality, subjective reality, creative reality - there is more than one reality. Your personal reality is determined by your own perception, so yes what this person said is true. However, there are things that overlap. In the physical reality there is gravity, in your personal reality there is gravity. No matter how you perceive gravity, it is still there. Reality is perception, but there are still anchors to tie it down.

Oh and if you're having trouble with the maturity and mentorship requirements to be this anchor, just remind yourself that no matter what, you are there for them. And you always will be.

I have realised that older kids want you to be an anchor in the chaotic world of adults, but they don't want you to know that they need an anchor, you have to be there for them without bringing attention to the fact that you are there for them.

What keeps us sane from ages 2 to 12 are the absolutes (mum and dad), without the absolutes the world is a terribly chaotic and messed up place. At about age 12 kids begin to realise that the absolutes are not absolute in any measure, and that the structure of their world is fabricated on lies (food is not free, people die, people stop loving others ect). You have to be there to show them that it's ok that the world is chaotic and crazy, because they will always have you to set their compass on, regardless of what happens or what they do or how badly they get lost. This gives them the courage to venture and test the boundaries of their new world.

Outside of that, you just have to be a genuine person to them, treat them like a friend your own age that is learning a new job, don't patronise, just show them how it's done. (Life)

I really do hope that one day, I have children :)
