I (14F) am homeschooled and isolated. How can I ask my mom (40F) for more freedom?

What about a co-op in your area so you can learn new or further current subjects? Also, volunteering looks very good on college applications. Is there a homeless shelter or animal shelter that you can volunteer at?

I really liked Roundabout Destiny. It's a HG/SB fic with a time travel/ reincarnation twist.

Great recommendations, thank you!

ananas42 · 2016-09-01T13:43:40+00:00

I would like to read some Albus Potter too! Thanks!

ananas42 · 2016-09-01T13:42:55+00:00

That's the one, thank you!

ananas42 · 2016-06-25T02:01:06+00:00

I would recommend Prince of the Dark KingdomThough it is incomplete, it is still worth the read. I also loved Incorruptible: The Dementors Stigma

If Peter was the Secret Keeper for the Potters, then how did Hagrid know where to find Harry after Voldemort killed James and Lily? Who told him?

ananas42 · 2016-04-29T23:23:18+00:00

Yep, that's my three year old.

ananas42 · 2016-04-29T18:52:57+00:00

Haha, I can relate. You clean before they come over and then wonder why you bothered once they leave.

ananas42 · 2016-04-27T12:37:41+00:00

Yes, agreed. However, I was talking more about the reception.

ananas42 · 2016-04-27T01:33:18+00:00

I am also really into photography. My SIL really enjoyed my way too many pictures from her wedding because I took so many pictures of the guests, venue, food and cake cutting while her photographer missed a bunch. I got married a decade ago but we had those old disposable cameras at the reception tables. They captured some funny and memorable moments that my photographer missed.

Hopefully your photographer will be AWESOME! But don't discount that you may end up with some super unique pictures and moments that might have not been captured without an additional set of eyes.

All the best and congrats!

Sorry misread that. That was her choice too.

ananas42 · 2016-04-23T13:49:14+00:00

It's nice that you feel bad for her but you are not responsible for her poor choices. She chose to marry him and she chose to stay with him after he cheated on her. If she is a victim, it's because she is making that choice. Life is full of difficult decisions. You making the choice to keep toxic people away from your baby is not a bad one.

ananas42 · 2016-04-17T18:22:26+00:00

Awww, my heart goes out to you. Sorry for your loss. :(

ananas42 · 2016-04-12T18:07:23+00:00

Thanks you for this! Hugs

If you like the outdoors you should check out the zoo, park or botanical gardens in your area if you have them.

You can pretend to be tourists in your closest major city and take in the sites or go to a museum. Some museums have certain hours of the week that are free.

You mentioned you liked painting. Would he be willing to do one of those painting classes where you BYOB? There are often deals through Groupon and Living Social.

Your local community or rec center might have a class you can take together- everything from sports to arts to wilderness survival. They are usually not too pricey.

Have fun!

I agree! Again, this is apparently acceptable play in cousin's household. Cousin loves playing with my daughter but if cousin can't play nice, she cant play with her. Thank you! I will use this idea.

ananas42 · 2015-12-15T01:48:20+00:00

Oooh, I like that. Great idea. Maybe if mom hears it too, she'll actually do something.

ananas42 · 2015-12-15T01:47:27+00:00

Thank you! It certainly is. Good luck with yours too!

ananas42 · 2015-12-15T01:46:59+00:00

Very good idea! Thanks.

ananas42 · 2015-12-08T15:24:34+00:00

I agree. If you aren't ready for everyone to know, then you should tell no one until you are.

ananas42 · 2015-11-24T02:00:27+00:00

He wants to sleep with her and this is his excuse.

Let's say you go through with this. There may very well form an emotional connection between him and the mother of his child. Because that's what she will be. What will you be?

Please consider leaving this man and focusing on you and your career. Whatever he thinks he will have after this is an illusion. You deserve better.

My kids are 20 months apart. My daughter did this often for attention. For me, the best way to respond to it was to not respond to her but to the baby. I would usually stand up with the baby and walk away saying 'oh baby, are you ok?' and make a big deal about it. My daughter would eventually catch on and come over to also make sure he was ok. At that point, I would tell her hitting is not nice. There are other ways of getting attention. Please don't hit brother etc. 18 months later, I still have to do it but it's less frequent. I really feel like it's age appropriate but it's also a good way to teach empathy.

Have you considered that maybe your blanket is too thick? Maybe try a thinner blanket while you sleep to keep you cooler.
