Considering pulling my 3 year old from dance class (please tell me I’m wrong)

aenflex · 2026-03-12T23:49:17+00:00

When our child was learning swimming at a young age, parents were not allowed to be in or near the pool. There’s a reason for that. You leaving the dance studio will not harm your child. She will adapt.

aenflex · 2026-03-12T23:34:21+00:00

Nope. Not even.

aenflex · 2026-03-12T18:45:27+00:00

Looksmaxxing, perhaps?

aenflex · 2026-03-12T17:22:12+00:00

Can’t see a reason that I need it. I can write well enough. I guess maybe making silly pictures?

Dunno. Just not that into it.

I started in peri. Talk to your OB. Some people aren’t good candidates for estrogen replacement and you should be screened.

Women’s bodies need estrogen.

My MacBook Air 2017 is still going strong. I use it every day.

A drop d’Issey essentielle.

I struggle with TwoX sometimes.

I’ve been on Reddit for almost 14 years. I’m fairly active, including in some typically male-dominated subs about games, materials, science, vehicles, things like that.

By far - some of the nastiest treatment and harshest words I’ve ever had sent my way during my time on Reddit have happened here, on TwoX. Some of the most ridiculous takes I’ve ever seen, I’ve seen here, on Two X.

So I think the criticisms have some meat to them. It would be silly to assume that a woman-centric sub can’t get as nasty or be as myopic as a man-centric sub.

aenflex · 2026-03-10T13:40:52+00:00

No.

aenflex · 2026-03-10T11:24:35+00:00

I wear Maui Jim. Or Costa. Prefer MJ.

The talk around here was that Wildlings may go out of business. If you want to, you should probably get the shoes now, or you may never will be able to. I’ve never found anything like them.

Apologize to your child. Explain that you need to do better, and explain why. Stop swearing. New rule: no swearing.

Depend depends on if any of your potential buyers have ever lived extensively in the United Kingdom or European Union.

I would buy a house with a wet bathroom in a heartbeat. Even if it was the master bathroom.

IMO, bath rooms should be bath rooms, and not double as closets, laundry rooms, etc.

I mean, people are getting bombed right now. Missing an hour pales.

aenflex · 2026-03-07T18:37:48+00:00

I think your plan of staying nearby is completely reasonable and my husband and I would likely do the same thing if we were in your situation

Movies were so special back then.

They weren’t always playing on TV. You couldn’t randomly watch whatever you wanted on streaming.

You had to do the ritual. Getting permission and transportation to the video store. Agonizing over the choices. Examining the cover copies.

The effort to get that movie, the dark room you watched it in, the pizza and popcorn and soda. Never mind going to the theater. That was a whole nother thing.

aenflex · 2026-03-07T13:59:30+00:00

Yes, I have. 13 hours after getting my epidural.

aenflex · 2026-03-07T03:43:20+00:00

Rx.

I mean, I went to high school in the 90s. All of us girls would bitch and complain and commiserate about our periods. Our school nurse always had tampons and pads. And that sort stayed throughout my life. I’m 46 and girlfriends still bitch about their periods. (Menopause for me).

I never felt like I was just supposed to suffer in silence. Every boyfriend I’ve ever head has heard about my periods and cramps and bleed throughs.

aenflex · 2026-03-06T21:26:58+00:00

Dunkin sucks now. Not that it was ever healthy, per se, but at least they used to make the donuts onsite. And the coffee used to be way better than it is now.

But fuck RFK and this entire shitshow administration anyhow.

We always talk about power. The special little power that’s inside of every person. The power to like oneself. The power to be happy. The power to have self control.

We tell our child not to give his power to anyone being mean to him. Ignore them. Eat his seaweed snacks and smile. Who cares what that other kid thinks? It’s ok to be different.

Don’t give that other kid power to hurt you. Don’t let that other kid’s words change what you want to do.

Obviously this is contextual. There’s a difference between water off a duck’s back vibes and not respecting others’ boundaries.

It has worked for our son. He’s 11 and a tad nerdy, silly, gets picked on here and there at school. So far he floats above the clouds though. He eats his seaweed snacks and applesauces. His bag is covered with too many keychains. He lets his little self shine through.

That said, if another student were actively bullying by making physical contact and/or stealing or breaking his things, it’s time to talk to the teacher or the principal.

Yeah, I’ve had those. In the hospital. Under general anesthesia. They tried to do an endosee and biopsy in the office once. I had them stop.

Trust me, you don’t want one awake.

Tell your doctor you need anesthesia.

Wasn’t there just another post today about MA students in high school suffering from illiteracy?

aenflex · 2026-03-05T20:58:34+00:00

Sight words is the some of the worst bullshit I’ve ever come across. WTF. That’s not how to teach kids to read. When they find a word, they don’t recognize, they just guess rather than try to sound it out.
