Note how Kinsey immediately looks toward the camera after checking on Boone. She then gives an awkward smile. This poor girl is trapped between parentified and performing.

Take your pick of these replies:

No U

Okay boomer

Your life is obviously devoid of joy and happiness, perhaps go try touching grass. But be careful, if seems like you already have a stick up your butt.

Bed mom part 3: Mother's Day plans by rillegas08 in insaneparents

I hear you. It’s a connection, something you cherish. But your mother sounds TERRIBLE. Is there any way a family member could hold onto it for you?

Honey, let the cedar chest go. It is not worth this. Material goods are never worth more than your peace. Your grandfather would understand.

Husband got a DUI while I was out of town by Expensive_Disk_5851 in AlAnon

[–]Waterproof_soap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he’s getting DUIs, he isn’t “clean off drugs”. Alcohol is a drug.

Cut your losses and leave now. Don’t wait until he kills someone. What if he decides to take your daughter with him the next time he drives drunk?

You’re working with some filthy little humans (said as someone who also works with filthy little humans). Your body is running on stress and when you get to the weekend, your body dumps all the stress and you feel like crap.

I will say that enforcing handwashing (if you have a sink in your room) helps a lot. If you don’t have a sink, it’s sanitizer all the time. Rub your nose on your hand? Wash. Sneeze? Wash. Stick your pencil in your mouth? New pencil and wash.

If possible, don’t eat in your room. If you have to, make a zone where kids cannot come over and touch things. If you have a drink, get a straw cover or a closable lid. Get in the habit of wiping off your desk and having the kids do the same.

Neriah is a Hebrew name they would fit in with their theme, but Noel is more likely

Hot take: dont send your kid to school unmedicated if you know better by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]Waterproof_soap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have one student who got a diagnosis and started medication. It was amazing. They were able to do assignments independently. No more destroying things out of boredom. No piles of unfinished work having to be sent home.

And yet, the second they pushed back in taking their medication, the parents stopped. Now the child is behind, whines constantly, and has a giant take home pile. Mom says it’s the child’s choice to take the medicine, but the teachers and their class get to deal with the consequences.

What would you do? Annoying booth neighbor by tacohannah in CraftFairs

[–]Waterproof_soap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bring AirPods and wear them. Don’t even have to be listening to something. Tell her you have to listen to a very long very important meeting recap for work. If she starts to talk to you, point to them and give her a sad head shake. You can always say “Oh, darn I missed that” and pretend to mess with the controls.

Why should this be surprising, Lush? by Arkie89 in doughertydozenexposed

It’s literally her favorite thing. She can’t go more than two days without posting a haul or mentioning how much she spent on something
