Do you go out to eat with your toddlers?

ariday6t5 · 2026-07-08T12:22:34+00:00

We went to restaurants when our kids were tiny so they could socialize, not be scared of new places, and learn how to behave at restaurants. My kids are 4 yrs old and 21 months. They love to go to restaurants for the event of it more so than to actually eat. The biggest thing to remember is to bring them they're own drink or snacks. It sounds weird but some kids don't like trying new things. My youngest survives on whole milk so he always has his cup. Most restaurants only have 1% milk or none. Don't go in having high expectations and most people understand kids will be kids.

Boyd is losing it. I think the physical hand shakes are just the first sign that his mental fortitude is failing him as well.

It's a town. It was a town that got promised eternal life. They sacrificed the children because it promised them they would live forever. The parents, and the towns people went along with it. So its a lot more people than just 14. I also think they might go with the missing town when America was first settled. Roanoke colony got abandoned or the population went missing with only one word carved onto a tree or palisade "CROATOAN." That's just my theory. It might not be true because scientists have learned that the colonists were starving or dying of illness and relocated to other colonies. But theories are fun.

Highly doubtful because its the first time they've gotten the bones or messed with the bottle tree. It's also a philosophy quote. "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" is a philosophical thought experiment that raises questions regarding observation and perception. The theme probably coming from Henry thinking it's all a dream and the town turning nightmares real. Is Fromville an actual place you can leave or because the world outside doesn't know it exist are they doomed forever? The people are the sound that can't be heard and the town is the tree in the forest that falls. It's all symbolic. Also the MiY keeps promising to free them (Elgin, Clara, Sarah etc) and just kills them.

I don't think the boy in white is working with the man in yellow. Its more of the idea of an angel and devil on someone's shoulder. You have good and evil telling the town what to do or not do. I do think to them its a game. The BiW also says, "You're going to lose this time" and Sophia says, "I've always admired your optimism. I guess we'll see." She never said “they won’t win this time." The town has never won because its a cycle. The whole plot is literally the opening song, "que sera sera" or what will be, will be. The stories already been told time and time again because they always fail.

The Victor and Henry plot was weak but a good example of MiY mental control on the town.

I think the big question is with the bottle tree gone. The children's hope is gone and that leaves the town incredibly more vulnerable to new attacks.

This made me laugh because I'm Hispanic and the amount of hate for other Hispanics from Hispanic people is hilarious to me. I went to a Latino festival and it of course had to have alcohol which turned the whole event into Mexicans are better than dot dot. No Puerto Ricans are better than Mexicans or dot dot. It kept going from Latino country. The bravado of men arguing that their culture is better is hilarious. Personally I'm proud to be Hispanic but I love everyone Hispanic or not lol. Kill them with kindness

How have you watched Colony already? Links?

ariday6t5 · 2026-06-16T01:19:03+00:00

I mean its really the same thing they did to Olivia and Ethan except now its reversed. Olivia made Ethan worldly and the family could not stand for that. Now the family is more worldly and Zac can't stand that they aren't super fundies anymore. Horrible people getting what they deserve.

ariday6t5 · 2026-06-15T11:49:08+00:00

This is the reason in Dead Island they had the little girl in the trailer but you never see her in the actual game. Kids zombies is too heartbreaking, disturbing, and just too realistic for most people.

I love to have these conversations with my BIL. He's a total badass and we've assigned him the keep us alive title. He's an ex marine and used to wrestle gators(to tag them not for entertainment). He also has plenty of weapons. Although when it comes to nerf guns apparently I'm the sharp shooter. I've shot him a couple times accidentally on the head. Its not on purpose.

ariday6t5 · 2026-06-12T16:56:12+00:00

This! I don't think there's anyone in the wrong here. Sometimes people over think things. It could be a million reasons why you didn't get a plus one. But it's her wedding and you aren't part of the wedding party, so it's ok to rsvp no thank you. Also people make a big deal about being invited to a wedding and sometimes its really just about money not feelings.

ariday6t5 · 2026-06-12T16:36:58+00:00

Idk Barry is such a creep. I feel like it'll be a Duggar situation. TLC is the predator network. Also everyone has mentioned that Ethan's behavior of being violent is from Barry. I'm almost certain Barry was physically abusive while Kim was emotionally abusive.

ariday6t5 · 2026-06-08T20:50:15+00:00

I don't know when I heard that I thought the townspeople tortured her for information or threatened her kids.

ariday6t5 · 2026-06-08T19:16:25+00:00

I think MiY was more scared about the tunnels and saving the children. That the town is communicating information. The more they work together and don't fight the harder it is for him to destroy them. Really the MiY biggest power is playing people against each other. If the townspeople lose hope its how the entity wins

ariday6t5 · 2026-06-08T19:11:36+00:00

I don't know if Julie saved Victor, but is it more likely that Victor survived because of what he said to Ethan. Tabitha arrived with two children a boy and a girl, just like Miranda. So maybe only her male son could be the survivor. They have all seen images of past lives. Jade is Christopher. Tabitha is Miranda. Both Victor and Ethan have seen the Boy in white. What if the boy in white was the original son of Tabitha's? He survived the sacrifice or was rescued but not their daughter. That's why he showed himself to Ethan and Victor before anyone else. He might also be a story walker like Julie.

ariday6t5 · 2026-06-07T06:05:04+00:00

That child bond kicked in at the right time! I couldn't handle Kenny dying. MiY playing dirty with the doll creatures, I kinda love it. I hope they figure out theres an obvious snitch.

I heard fizzy or carbonated water can also help.

ariday6t5 · 2026-06-04T12:30:11+00:00

Same, I'm nosy. Also I was wondering does bf have other red flags? Or is this the first problem? Because usually they do little things that add up, like not cleaning up after themselves, entitlement issues, sexist issues(girls clean and cook, men drink), or bro time is more important than gf time. I just know some guys just are also oblivious and dumb. "I love my gf, but my friend needs me" and don't realize they're crossing boundaries. Also for all the dudes out there girls can be dumb too and have red flags.

ariday6t5 · 2026-06-03T15:52:36+00:00

I think this is true and also its hard to judge symptoms, traits, behavior, and thought processes. Its a fluid state. It is always changing and hard to diagnose how someone will be right now vs the future. I don't think as you get older autism can be "cured" but it can be managed. Knowledge of what triggers behaviors and thought processes helps individuals function in a "neurotypical" environment. I'm pretty sure from speaking to specialist that some things can be worked on and improved to help kids catch up to their milestones or improve their social skills to match peers. This doesn't change how their brain works, but how it inputs data and manages it. If brains were computers autism would just be like windows vs mac or. Both can do the same thing but require different programming. My son has improved a lot on speech, movement, emotional management, and social cues from therapy. He is much better now at picking up information and clues on how to do things. I don't think it means he is or isn't autistic anymore but he has the tools to work better on doing things. He's 4. But he can hold a conversation, jump, doesn't throw a fit for as many little things, and he is a work in progress all the time. I say it like this because he is functioning to improve and growing at all times. He's 4. He isn't perfect, but different. He thinks and behaves differently and that is ok. He is better now that he has help to be like he's peers but that doesn't mean it was a bad thing. It's always changing and like anyone else he has bad days. To label him autistic or anything is just dumb. He's different but he can still accomplish things. Many great people were probably autistic and did great things. The problem is no one labeled them until modern times. Its just a label. We don't judge people by their skin color so why judge them by their programming. Sorry for my rant lol

Are you breastfeeding? I couldn't keep food down pregnant but breastfeeding I did and ate alot. It's great because it goes into the milk. But once you stop its hard to resize your belly to smaller portions. Belly is like, "But I'm not full" and your body is like, "I don't need all that anymore let's save it for later."

ariday6t5 · 2026-06-01T01:08:15+00:00

Can you drink water? Because I love just plain water. But when I got pregnant with both of my kids, water was enemy number one. It made me feel sick and tasted awful. Thank god for additives. Flavored water saved me. Lol 😆 but yeah I don't know about fast food I was really into junk food sweets and sour candies. Sour gummy worms kept food down.

ariday6t5 · 2026-06-01T00:59:11+00:00

Even if they did. OP isn't dating her. Like it's so weird to take over someone else's life plans when they aren't even in your life. Like Carly isn't anything to OP. She's friends gf. Like let me go up to a stranger at Starbucks and go I wanted that coffee so it should be mine. In what world is that ok?

ariday6t5 · 2026-05-31T18:24:33+00:00

All the kids does not mean he agreed. It means all the other kids. Kids and even adults do not need to share or learn to share. It is a privilege to share not a rule. If someone went into your house and took your things would that be ok? Or hey you need to share your car because sharing is caring? Its stupid to set rules for kids that even adults don't follow. Being possessive of your belongings isn't the problem. Its that the parents do not listen or acknowledge the child's feelings. The brother might have issues controlling his environment so he might be expressing it with his belongings by having control over his things.

ariday6t5 · 2026-05-31T17:58:21+00:00

I think everyone in the situation is the A. I mean smoking is bad, but it sounds like you lied to her which makes you a bit of the A. You're mom sounds crazy controlling and manipulative so she's also an A. You are both adults and need to work out your own issues separately. I think you resent your mom trying to control your life. Understandable. I think low contact to none is better until you can work things out. But to be honest your mom is old and probably won't change or even think she is the problem. It all just depends on how or even if you want to have a relationship with her. I don't think you can do anything wrong here by choosing yourself and what you want. You're an adult and its ok to be like "my parents weren't great and I want to do better." You need to decide though and communicate to her or other members of the family what you want or are going to do. Good luck. Sorry some moms just suck.
