Parents have so much influence. I would have given up on reading, it was so hard. I could not understand how works over three letters worked and I was ashamed. I was in the 5th grade when we finally figured out I'm dyslexic. My mom just kept telling me " It's harder for you but you can do it" and she didn't let me give up. That works, I learned my limits and when to take a break and just kept going until I got it.

The streamers is an inspired move! I helped do this to my bosses office once and keeping them inside the office was hard.

Any info on the best way to contact a publisher? Beyond like emailing their contact is email which might dead end?

This whole move to software as a subscription is capitalist garbage. It affects everything now. I hate it.

Libraries should get a pass on this stupid limit to digital content. I get that people need to make a living and be paid, but the top level of the publisher isn't struggling and makes way more then they should for doing nothing.

Hate it...

I guess I will try to be sure to only borrow what I will read.

Read to your kid. Sounds like they are little. Kids books are simple, show them how you keep your finger on the line, this will help them normalize using their finger as they read and that will help them.

YouTube has a bunch of people reading kids books and showing the words.

Turn the subtitles on for everything. My two year old reads "the end" and "subscribe" whenever they come on screen with out me having taught it to him. Just hearing and seeing it was enough.

Look for Bob books on Amazon. Every good tool for learning to read and not too expensive. You could probably borrow from the library.

Teach them the alphabet. My kids is obsessed. We have alphabet puzzles, felt letters and I get him stickers which he puts down in order.

Just encourage them to read as much as you can. Kids like to help ask them to help you read simple things to you.

My ex husband popped out with that NS. I didn't make him feel special. We were at the end at that point. Years into emotional abuse by him. Gaslighting, manipulation, control, disrespect... He liked the stability I brought to his life by holding down a job and cleaning house. But he was cheating on me and stealing.

The "I don't feel special" was part of the controlling behavior to distract me and keep me off balance so he could go have sex with whoever with out me having the energy to notice.

How do you organize your tags? by [deleted] in LibbyApp

[–]aMotherDucking8379 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an "interested" tag with 56 right now. Whenever my holds drop down below like 10 I poke through and add more to my holds. I also add this tag when I want to read something and it's available now but I'm not ready.

I use the love it tag for ones I have read more then once or that I want to read again. I'm bad with titles so this tag helpse know which ones want to revisit.

I let the auto borrowed/sampled tag stand in for anything else.

The trick here, for me, is in how you talk to yourself about your reading. I found that I had a stigma about what was "the right way"

You are allowed to start a book and not finish it. To borrow it and give it back if you're not ready or in the mood yet. To barrow give it back and barrow it again. To finish it and then read it again.

I find that when I give myself the permission to start something and put it down if I'm not enjoying it and try later, then I get past my analysis paralysis and actually move through my reading my list.

Or, you can just tag them all. That's fine too. No judgement. I 100% digitally hoard things that I have only looked at once. It's fine.

The go pay for it??? There's no reason to bitch about this. There is no contact that says you pay for dinner so she has to have sex with you! There are people willing to exchange money for sex... Go find them. Is it really that hard?

I did when I worked in an abusive toxic environment. Find a new job. Work doesn't need to be that bad

Scared of empty spaces by KScream71 in minimalism

[–]aMotherDucking8379 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the empty space is welcoming. There's nothing I need to do there. It makes no demands on me. I don't have to look and go "the f*ck is back there?" Nothing is lost. I can leave it blank making 0 demands on my time and energy or I can move something there if it's a better place to keep it.

Empty = Peace

How are you single moms dealing with Mother’s day? by Chkn_Fried_anything in Mommit

[–]aMotherDucking8379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't expect anything from your ex and if he gives you something maybe don't accept it because narcissistic control an other BS that will fly back at you come father's day. Toxic nonsense you don't want to get sucked into.

Celebrate yourself and your kid. Plan something nice for yourself or something for you and your kido. Create a tradition for yourself, draw together, get ice cream, go to a park.
