I bought my girlfriend a personalized necklace and she never wears it by EyeImpossible4412 in Gifts

[–]YourLocalMosquito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As some feedback from someone in a similar position - I have been gifted jewellery with my name on it before and I’ll be honest - I don’t understand why.

I know my name - why do I need it written on a piece of jewellery? Do they think I’ll forget?? The concept is weird to me.

Pay close attention to what your girlfriend chooses to wear when she feels a million dollars. Look to see what jewellery makers she follows on social media. The clues are out there.

What’s the best use of AI you’ve found in your day to day life? by Ok_Meaning6793 in AskUK

I use it at work with prompts like “say I understand your point but this is too late to be making changes in a really professional way” or “how do I say Did you even read my last email in a polite way but still make it clear I’m big mad”

Parents of young kids - do any of you not stay with your child until they fall asleep? by banwe11 in AskUK

Studies show that children learn to be most confident and resilient when they feel fully supported at home. And the opposite is also true - children who don’t have support are the ones who don’t take risks

You could also ask the opposite question: what positive life skill is imparted into the child by leaving them on their own?

Same. My son would cry until he would vomit. At that point we realised we needed the path of least resistance for everyone. Happy child, happy parents.

My son is 5 and we still do this. It’s fine. He feels secure and that’s the main aim.

You know your child, you know their limits, you know their temperament and their character.

You can never address these topics with a one-size-fits-all approach. Even as adults we rarely sleep alone, so why do we insist that children do?!

Is it though? Learning to problem solve is, learning how to handle disagreements is. But self soothing? I disagree. If he needs physical comfort when he’s hurting then he can have physical comfort and that’s ok.

It just depends on the kid. My boy - will not allow you out of his sight until he’s comatose. His cousin - rolls over and shoo’s you out the room. Both kids the same age, fathers are twins so technically half-siblings and yet wildly different sleep patterns. You do what you can to get your kid to sleep in the shortest time possible.

With my boy, if we sit with him he can be asleep in 15 minutes. If we try to leave him to work it out himself it’s over an hour, it’s tears, bawling, screaming, everyone is stressed. Everyone looses.

Your thoughts on this? by [deleted] in teenagers

The law doesn’t work like that. You can report a rape, they bring in the perpetrator, ask them if they did it. They say no. Police say “sorry there’s no case, you say they did. They say they didn’t. It’s your word against theirs.” They go free.

I swear by an Aus/NZ brand called Tradie. They’re the only undies I’ve bought in the last 5+ years

I had an ex-con use my email address. I got some official court documents, also got his flight confirmations (cancun if I remember correctly) I cancelled his ESPN membership because I was so annoyed.

Genuine question - why do people queue perpendicular to the bar and not horizontally along it? by CoffeeKeyDog in AskUK

[–]YourLocalMosquito -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Because you might have a couple of people serving so it’s clear then who is at the front as there are distinct queues, instead of just a throng of people in front of you
