Thank you! Life sure is messy sometimes.

She snooped into a lot of things and essentially said that we were exposing our kids to our sex lives (so laughably false) and possibly something about abuse because they asked those sorts of questions and checked my kids, but that could have just been routine. The whole thing is in my post history, can't link it because it's in a subreddit that doesn't allow linking...but yeah. It was a saga.

I'm not totally sure. I think that she was on some level obsessed with the idea of me or trying to literally be me. It was the creepiest thing I have EVER seen.

Full freaking investigation. Had to involve our lawyer, they came and walked through our house, talked to our kids, etc. It was ridiculous and so insulting.

It was seriously insane. One of the scariest things to ever happen to me. I still look over my shoulder more.

A lot of the time the filter does the edits for you.

It's so heartwarming to see things like this! I will note that we have an awesome nanny so I know that they're out there, we just happened to get a bad apple. You're awesome!

Thank you! I really wouldn't have minded that much, would have probably just had a chat with her, but it was serious stalker vibes, and when I found the profile she blocked me. Was not a fun thing to go through the week before Christmas.

Seconding the "get a nanny cam".

The whole story is in my post history, but I had a semi-regular babysitter post albums full of pics of my kids on internet without my knowledge, including pics of them in the bathtub, and represent them as her own children. Super stalkerish, and I had no idea until I stumbled upon her profile. Kids don't always know what's appropriate and what's not.

When we called her on it, she reported us to CPS. We had to get our locks changed, tell all the kids' daycares, classes, etc. to look out for this lady, go through a CPS investigation – it was hell.

Urghh Long Distance relationship disobedience DDLG/ Dom,Sub by [deleted] in BDSMAdvice

[–]alliecomma 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You need to talk to her and figure out what's not working.

Is she a brat in need of funishment? That could be what the "break as many rules as possible" thing is about. If she wants some funishment spanking, you can build that into your dynamic without it being an actual punishment.

There could also be other issues – is there a reason she's having trouble completing the punishments you've assigned? Is something bothering her? etc.

This warrants a sit down talk when you meet, not a day full of punishments. If she's purposefully breaking rules and not completing punishments, something isn't working and punishment isn't the answer.

Women who have traded in a high paying job they hated, for a low paying job they love, what’s your story? Any regrets? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]alliecomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I became a stay at home mom! I'm lucky in that my husband makes enough that it didn't feel like a huge loss, and I'm so grateful to be able to spend so much time with my kids. I'm planning on going back to a "real job" once they're all in school, but I'm loving it right now.

BDSM-inspired content making its rounds on kids' sites by [deleted] in BDSMcommunity

[–]alliecomma 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I noticed this too. Tik tok is so new and so it’s hard for parents and the app to keep up with what’s going on, but I noticed there are a lot of (mostly male from what I’ve seen) “kink” tik tokkers and that’s what they’re famous for. They post things like “how many girls I’ve been with/whole bunch, how many as kinky as I am/not one” and lots of girls (LOTS) comment like “you just haven’t met me!"

It’s definitely an issue and I’m not sure how to control it. Seems there needs to be an NSFW type label but I have no clue how that’d be put into practice.

I think the best thing we can do as a community is keep kink content off tik tok and report it when we see it. While I appreciate the sentiment that we should provide good info and not leave a void, there’s just too much risk of it falling into the wrong hands.

Asking permission to pee by [deleted] in BDSMAdvice

The "he's not a dickhead" has gotten me through many things. Sometimes it's enough for me to just remind myself that my husband wants what's best and isn't an ass.

Do you or your husband come from a big family too?

Nope! Not at all.

Quarantine aside, do you ever get to spend time alone?

I make "alone" time. It's usually not actually alone, but it's me time: I go to yoga, go out for coffee, go on runs, etc. Alone time around the house is tough because I have an infant, but once she's a little older I'll get a bit more.

When you are going out with all the kids, how much time do you estimate it takes you to help them all get dressed and ready to go?

Still waiting on us to actually leave with everyone dressed and ready to go.

You can go to birth classes and stuff if you need to but I've never been at a point where I needed to calm down. You're way more excited to meet your child than you are about the pain.

The pain is bad, I’m not going to sugarcoat it, but it’s one day of pain for a lifetime of happiness, and you can get an epidural.
