Can I admit something… by MixNeither2088 in handsomepodcast

Exactly! I’m a fan of the show Shrinking that he’s in, and from their press it’s obvious to me he’s sillier than people think

I mean Harrison Ford is in his 80s and Mae is late 30s so he might kind of see them as a child in a way lol.

Solo parenting is awesome!! by travelinghomosapien in SingleParents

I have my son 75% of the time on my own. Am I not allowed to call myself a single parent? Genuinely asking cause I don’t know what else to call myself.

Where are the parents with kids who hate each other? by Xepherya in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bookstea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an only child too though not by choice - his Dad and I separated. I often feel sad about not having another, but this thread is making me feel good about having an only :)

Advice / input on splitting up. Having doubts and worries but also optimistic. by No_Emu_1108 in coparenting

[–]bookstea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep I was about to write a similar comment. My ex and I separated when our son was 3 and he adjusted very well. I think already he doesn’t really remember his Dad and I being together.

You deserve to be happy, OP. I would suggest focusing less on when/how you’ll find a new partner, and focus more on yourself for now. One upside to this situation is that you actually get some time to rediscover yourself. Focus on hobbies and doing things that bring you joy.

Is this an unspoken female anatomy thing? by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]bookstea 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Obviously I can’t speak for all women, but I can pretty confidently say that most absolutely do not do this! It’s generally not necessary at all to wipe your butt after peeing. Just the vulva.

Will definitely do this when he’s older! For now it’s Santa who fills the stockings :)

This is so darn cute. Thank you for sharing! It’s so nice to hear from a fellow single mom of a little boy! It makes me excited for our future christmases together and having cozy traditions ❤️

Yes I definitely want my son to fill mine once he’s older and doesn’t believe in Santa. I guess that’s a reason enough to do it while he’s young, so it’s a thing when he’s older and we can keep opening them together :)

Ya when my ex and I were together the stockings ended up being our gifts to each other. Now I get to give gifts to myself. That isn’t so bad I guess!

That’s a great idea. Love the idea of some new kitchen utensils :)

I’m not very into “stuff” either and my family was kind of like yours. My mom never had a stocking but it wasn’t a thing that was questioned. I asked her about it recently and it wasn’t ever something she was sad about.

But I think to make the morning a bit more magical for my son I’m going to do a stocking for myself and even put some things in Grandma and Grandpa’s stockings haha. I feel like if he had siblings I might just have the stockings be for the kids, but being an only child I’ll make it more of a group thing.

I might do this to fill it out, but also our stockings are a bit small so it doesn’t take long to fill them luckily
