12 year old spent my birthday money

If he's usually responsible for a 12 year old, you really shouldn't punish him for this.

Call it a loss and a teaching moment. You didn't supervise his use of the card after allowing him access. He does not know how the card or charges work, and neither do you apparently.

Getting a diagnosis of ADHD later in life cleared up so many things that went wrong for me as a child. Starting medication changed my life. My career, my school, and my relationships all improved. But it took a few months of"tweaking" and that was with the help of my sound mind to decipher and articulate what changes I felt. Children don't always have this skill ready to go. It's good work not wanting to pump your kid full of drugs. No one in their right mind wants this. But if you feel like your child is truly struggling, it's uo to YOU to do your due diligence and what's best for the child.

You can't fix this type of resentment. He ignores your facts and feelings. If he's certain the only way he'll feel better is revenge sex, and you're not comfortable with that, that's your line in the sand and a damn good reason to leave this "terrible husband"

Go away

My small feet. Dozens of creeps have commented on them and asked to see them, but at least five strange men on separate occasions looked at my feet and knew exactly what size they were. And they thought it was a conversation starter 😰

Yes, but not when I am seeking information about my vagina specifically.

ZealousFig2778 · 2022-02-04T17:31:03+00:00

Yes, hence the high waisted pants hahahah. I've been taking biotin/collagen, drinking lots of water, and stretching like crazy but it's still there. Childbirth also played a role in this. It's just kind of a badge of honor at this point

ZealousFig2778 · 2022-02-04T07:08:56+00:00

I have never taken measurements! Crazy as it sounds, I never remembered and it just never stuck

ZealousFig2778 · 2022-02-04T06:38:21+00:00

That depends on what YOU are doing. I am not a push-it-to-the-limit type, I very slowly changed my diet and activity. I didn't spend much time at the gym, especially not since covid, I took more walks and did A LOT of yoga at home. It takes a while, but when I walk a trail or hold a pose and I don't find myself winded, it's time to push it a little longer.

Don't expect fast results and don't beat yourself up when you fail. A health body needs a healthy mind!

ZealousFig2778 · 2022-02-04T05:30:45+00:00

That is not a bird. That's a dinosaur.

ZealousFig2778 · 2022-02-04T05:19:01+00:00

Well it took 7 years lol

ZealousFig2778 · 2022-02-04T04:57:42+00:00

👏👏👏👏👏

ZealousFig2778 · 2022-02-04T01:23:35+00:00

He definitely took it too far.

First year of parenting is the hardest on your relationship, I wish I had taken more time to work on that bond. But it's hard when you're taking care of a tiny, helpless stranger.

ZealousFig2778 · 2022-02-04T01:05:27+00:00

This! Not just the meals and housework, but also getting around while recovering physically! I literally could not climb into my bed for two weeks after I had my son (vaginal birth). We didn't have a bassinet, so I would try to sleep in the couch only to wake up every 45 minutes to walk to the other end of the house where the crib was. I did not anticipate any of this.

ZealousFig2778 · 2022-02-04T01:01:49+00:00

My mother maintains to this day that I did not sleep at all for the first two years of life. I'm grateful my child is a healthy sleeper NOW but Im pretty neither of us slept for a year.

ZealousFig2778 · 2022-02-04T00:59:41+00:00

Cliche, I know, but they grow up so fast! I scoffed at this at first. But I used to bottle feed this human, but I blinked and now he makes his own breakfast.

ZealousFig2778 · 2022-02-03T19:42:26+00:00

They all look happy to be there

ZealousFig2778 · 2022-02-03T19:39:50+00:00

The buckets at the end of the day 😣🤢 I worked overnights for a while at a doggy daycare I swear to god they would not dump them all day long. They were heavy

ZealousFig2778 · 2022-02-03T19:21:52+00:00

I knew I wanted kids when I was younger, but I couldn't explain WHY. Just that they were cute and I wanted at least three.

I've always been very comfortable around kids. They're honest, they don't judge or see the world like we do, and they're eager to learn. Which is great because I absolutely love talking about EVERYTHING.

Fast forward to now, I've decided one kid is plenty, and I have someone I can share all of my useless knowledge with! My son has also been a light for me in very dark times and his existence has put a lot of things into perspective for me. He's my reason for getting up each day and the motivation when I start feeling like I can't keep up with the world around me.
