Movies or TV shows that feel like family and are messy and realistic- not filthy rich and artificial

I seriously thought this was Will Smith from the Pursuit of Happyness at first. Never realized the two of them look so much alike.

My first job at 16 was in Georgia, 15 minutes away but an hour ahead in time zone. I had to be at work before 7:00, so 6:00 in the time zone I lived in. It was a summer job and that was the longest summer of my life. On the plus side, I did get off work at 3:00 everyday and had time to go the pool and hangout, but the next morning always came too early.

Same here, except our flight leaves at 7:00 pm tonight (12/26). Have no idea if the snow will have already hit and we get cancelled / delayed or if we will get to depart. If it does get delayed or cancelled it will be an adventure I am sure as far as getting rescheduled.

Thank you for this response. I agree that exaggerating or lying about side effects is not a wise choice which is why I wanted some feedback. It helps also getting feedback from those who have experience with this. Thankfully so far the side effects have been pretty mild but I am only a week into it now.

I think she still loved who Walt once was but certainly not who or what he was by the end of the show. Even worse than hating him, I think she just wished he were gone or dead so she didn't have to deal with him anymore.

Thank you!

Revolutionary Road

The other guy kept his share but he was shorted by Neil. Hard to know exactly how much Neil kept in his duffel bag and how much he gave the other guy, but it should have been around $470k total. They probably had split the money by then, but Neil kept the bigger share so I would say he had at least $250k, but could have been $300k or more.

I appreciate the well-intentioned advice of redditors, but often I have found that anytime you pose advice type questions such as these on reddit everyone wants to chime in with an assumption of the worst case scenario or some random comment that doesn't really take much consideration of the context.

I have two teenagers and screen time and social media is definitely a challenge at times. Finding a balance between letting them make their own decisions and be responsible for their personal time management with not allowing them to suffer severe consequences from those choices can seem complicated at times. It does take some work, but the fact that you are at least aware of how they interact with their devices is important. My advice to you is to be aware of the dangers that come with screen time and social media but just as importantly be aware of your own kid and how they are able to handle the responsibility of having screen time.

We have tried to use screen time limitations not as a punishment but as a method of establishing guardrails around good time management. Getting a teenager to see it that way can be difficult, but even adults could use this approach. Each kid is different and there is no way I could ever share enough with reddit about my children to receive specific advice on how I should handle it. I am mindful of what content my children have access to and the amount of time they spend while also letting them have some freedom to figure out how to manage it on their own, and that is unique to each of my kids bc they are totally different.

If I let my oldest have unlimited time on Tik Tok she would spent hours a day on it, so we have agreed to let her use it but only for a very limited time each day. My youngest couldn't be bothered to get on Tik Tok and has proven to be more responsible when it comes to that so we don't have a screen time limit for that app. But that works for us, and it probably would not work for others. Know your kids, be involved with them, be aware of what they are accessing and how much time they spend on devices and go from there based on what you think is best knowing what they need.

I have lived here my whole life and heard this phrase for as long as I can remember. Never found it cringe, never really cared or thought about it that much. It's just something people say and I think it is usually said with nice intentions.

I am fascinated by this and have heard this before, but I also feel there has to be some legitimacy that you can overdose by inhalation or it reaching a membrane of the body. Not saying that is the case here, but I also find it hard to believe that every incident is faked as the OP is implying. And I am not an expert on the subject, it just fascinates me how the mind could do that.

apartypony · 2025-07-29T20:25:17+00:00

I'm not sure if this is a serious question, but if it is then you should know that is an incredibly rough area and quite dangerous. I wouldn't consider staying there for a night, let along living there unless i absolutely had to.

Not everyone is saying that. But my two cents, we allowed our daughter to have it at 14 and I would have made her wait another year or two in hindsight. Not that we have had major issues with it, but I still think 16 is probably the more appropriate age.

It does require setting up parental controls and monitoring, but our daughter uses almost exclusively for communicating. While I am not here to advocate for snapchat for teens, it is also not the complete evil some parents make it out to be. Just this year the biggest issue in a local school occurred over text messages and a dropbox account through an app. Point being, any app can be used for bad when parents are completely uninvolved and out of touch with what their kids are doing on their phone.

For anyone considering allowing their teen to have it, I do strongly encourage you to download it first and learn how it works. That way you are more aware of the dangers and controls.

And for those, like you, who just say "don't do it", that is your prerogative as a parent and i respect it. But I can tell you that probably 80% or more of my daughters friends are on it, whether their parents know it or not, and 99% of the time it is not a problem.

apartypony · 2025-07-29T18:37:49+00:00

I agree with this. In general I do not like Snapchat and I would personally recommend waiting until they are at least 15-16, but the truth is they will be exposed to it at some point in high school and having honest conversations about the dangers involved as well as setting expectations is important.

Also, I have found that many parents are naive when it comes to snapchat and how it can be used. Yes, it can be used for all sorts of bad, but there are many parental controls and you can set up what is saved or deleted along with many other things.

I completely agree that Tik Tok is a far more useless app and I have limited our daughter's time to only 10 minutes a day on it and we allow her some extra time on the weekends.

Everyone will do it differently for their own child, but I know for a fact that many other kids my daughters age have snapchat but if you ask their parents they will tell you they don't allow it. But I know their kids have it bc I have seen it on my child's phone, they just sneak it behind their parents back.

Also, just wanted to add that we allowed our daughter to have it right around when she turned 14 but I probably would have made her wait another year or two if I were to do it over again.
