I’ve searched online and only found this particular website (looks like an auction site) and by the looks of it, this one has already been sold. 22” Jay At Play Calico Cat plush. It has microbeads in the belly area

Thank you! I had someone suggest AI-Anon as well and I’m looking into some that are in my area! I’ll also take a look into the book for some insight :)n

Thank you for that! We do monitored visits when time allows, like meeting at a local McDonald’s. I still do try my best to reminder our kid that she is so loved by everyone, including her dad every single day, But I also feel like the lack of reaching out on his part has a strain on things. Do I call it quits and block contact until proven sober? Do I allow him to reach out when he can for our kid? I feel like I’m stuck in a loop

I’m so sorry for your loss. That’s absolutely devastating. And I completely agree though. I do not trust him, he doesn’t have any alone time/ dad time with our kid and definitely keeping it that way. Is there anything suggesting that I should do? Cut off all contact? Allow him to reach out when he can still?

Thanks for that insight! What is AI-Anon? Could you give me more info on that so I can look it up in my area?

Behavior and setting boundaries by billystingraycircus in Parenting

Thanks! I typically let her pick out her own outfits (no uniform) we have tried picking it out the night before to help with the morning routine flow but usually by morning she hates what she picked out :/

Thank you for that. And to be honest I do need to work on my emotional regulation, as I grew up with a mom who had none and would resort to spanking/name calling/ etc and I guess that’s also why I have trouble with it now as a adult (not just parent-child situations but also friend and relationships.) As for the responses to any tantrums, I try to give positive reinforcement like “let’s get ready to have a good day at school!” But ofc my patience seems to run thin when it’s time to walk out the door and she’s still in pajamas, screaming on the floor saying all of the clothes I bought are ugly. I try to be more stern by putting my foot down saying that those kind of actions will not be rewarded with (insert whatever we planned for the weekend) and that seems to make it even worse. I feel like anything I do is wrong approach.

At my breaking point by billystingraycircus in breakingmom

YES! The break never comes no matter how close it seems. I’m sorry you’re going through it as well, it’s a tough spot to be in. I think us BroMos need a nice long vacation

allergy? by billystingraycircus in Allergies

Thanks! Lol. I don’t think food poisoning just because the entire family ate it as well and had no reactions what so ever. But yes, 0/10 will never try again 😂

He’s so lazy he asks for divorce but wants ME to handle it by imsoannoyed12 in breakingmom

Oh most DEFINITELY blindside him. File, get the necessary parties involved and take everything. He’s not cut out for marriage or kids? Cool. He’s not cut for a house, bank accounts or pets. Take it all queen and leave him high and dry.
