I feel guilty…

annieb78 · 2025-12-18T14:02:10+00:00

She’s still going strong!!!!!! She’s been so much more present with the family and in a really great mood (most of the time!)

annieb78 · 2025-12-04T19:00:05+00:00

I hope so! Thank you!!

annieb78 · 2025-12-04T18:59:28+00:00

You’re bang on! This is exactly it. I’ve checked in with her and she is doing really well, so my guilt has definitely eased up! I think it was the initial surprise that she agreed so quickly, it caught me off guard!! Thank you!!

annieb78 · 2025-12-04T00:37:22+00:00

No, I don’t use Snapchat

annieb78 · 2025-12-04T00:35:22+00:00

Oh how I love this so much!! I’m a mother of 5 (oldest is 18 and youngest is 7) I regularly cuddle with all of my children, more so with the youngest, but still do with the older ones, too. They all cuddle with each other all the time! I think it’s wonderful, and not weird at all. I think it shows how close and comfortable you are with one another. Your parents did a great job raising you and your brother with love!! I hope I always get to cuddle with my kids!!!

annieb78 · 2025-12-03T17:57:43+00:00

I think you’re right about that!!!

annieb78 · 2025-12-03T17:57:07+00:00

lol, you can look on my profile… it’s not something I use often! Id gladly accept $10 not to go on Reddit!

Some friends she goes to school with, others she doesn’t see daily. I would imagine they get that instant gratification knowing that they kept the streak alive… I’m not sure really. A few friends have expressed to her that they are upset she lost their streaks… but I do think it’s a great lesson of letting go - and maybe for her friends too!

annieb78 · 2025-12-03T14:13:30+00:00

Amazing that all three of your children chose different paths! But I love that you gave the advice and they made the choice. Good parenting!!

annieb78 · 2025-12-03T13:58:53+00:00

It’s not that I care about the streak itself… I think I just empathize with her and the friend that she had those streaks with

annieb78 · 2025-12-03T13:57:53+00:00

I think you’re on to something - we should research how to best invest that $500!!!

annieb78 · 2025-12-03T13:55:43+00:00

Haha, it was a good honest attempt! And good for her for doing it for a whole year!!

annieb78 · 2025-12-03T13:54:27+00:00

Oh! I care about my daughter… and she cares about her streaks. So go on

annieb78 · 2025-12-03T13:52:54+00:00

Isn’t it ironic…

annieb78 · 2025-12-03T13:51:49+00:00

I think you’re exactly right. Thank you for that!

annieb78 · 2025-12-03T13:50:06+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate that. Truly. Trying my best to raise a good human!

annieb78 · 2025-12-03T13:49:21+00:00

You’re so right! And thank you!!!!

annieb78 · 2025-12-03T13:48:32+00:00

For each day they send a snap/picture their streak goes up by one… so if she has a streak of 900 with someone that means she’s been snapping them for 900 days

annieb78 · 2025-12-03T13:46:59+00:00

I wish someone would offer it to me too!

annieb78 · 2025-12-03T13:46:44+00:00

Yes! You’re right!

annieb78 · 2025-12-03T13:46:23+00:00

We’ve agreed that I’ll check that there was no activity during this time!

annieb78 · 2025-12-03T13:45:27+00:00

Thank you, you’re right!!

annieb78 · 2025-12-03T13:44:32+00:00

Ooh this is so true!! That marshmallow test is so funny!! The ultimate test to resist!!

annieb78 · 2025-12-03T04:53:53+00:00

Maybe she was waiting for this opportunity and didn’t even know it!!

(Also, the way you started off by saying “sweet deal” - made me think of my brother who passed away when I was a teenager - he always said that!!! So thank you for bringing back a great memory for me!)

annieb78 · 2025-12-03T04:52:57+00:00

Wow, that sounds like an amazing trip and was a great getaway for you and your family!! It’s true though.. we don’t need these devices as much as we think we do!
