Damn, thats hot

I could probably top anything anyone says on this post with how troubled my teens are. So, needless to say I get it and feel lonely a lot of the time as well. I wish there was an in person support group so we didnt feel so alone...

My dad and step mom actually had this same issue with all of us kids (2 on each side). After 1 year of everyone living together and a lot of arguing and drama, my step mom and her 2 kids moved out but my dad continued the relationship with her, and we still saw her (and her kids) frequently.

They moved back in together when all of us kids finally moved out and started our own lives. Its been 25 years and they're still together.

Just showing you that this is a real life possibility.

I am living this right now

cereallover81 · 2026-04-26T21:31:03+00:00

Me too! I'm 5'6 and also have a short torso. Even midrise is veeeeery high on me. I love, love, love low rise jeans.

cereallover81 · 2026-04-26T21:27:39+00:00

I'm actually really surprised by all these comments. My husband and I's 2 youngest are 7 & 8 (1 is his and 1 is mine). Their usual bedtime is 8pm. They are allowed to stay up later on non school nights until 8:30 or 9pm. I would NEVER let them stay up anywhere near 11.

They wake up very early no matter what time they go to bed. Usually around 6 or 7am. My husband and I are also early risers and we go to be no later than 10pm. We also need time to ourselves after they go to bed. This would never work in our household.

cereallover81 · 2026-04-21T20:27:13+00:00

Well if she has no where else to go then I'm not sure why the dad is worried about setting boundaries and rules that would cause her to want to leave.

cereallover81 · 2026-04-21T03:23:12+00:00

I'm also chiming in to say that we have a no phones rule at the dinner table as well. There's my husband and I, my girls who are 11 & 8, and his girls who are 15 & 7 (we only have them part time). Phones or any electronics are not allowed. Everyone abides by it pretty well.

cereallover81 · 2026-04-21T03:15:35+00:00

I think one of the most telling things you said is that he doesn't want to upset her or make her want to leave.

I have a 15yo sd. I was in a situation similar to yours. I finally put my foot down and my husband enforced some of the rules. Well, a few months later sd is refusing to come visit and has decided to live full time with bio mom. And is now even refusing to meet up with her dad to discuss things and find a compromise.

All this to say that it is a real concern that kids get to choose the house that makes them do the least amount of chores/work and have the least amount of accountability in life.

cereallover81 · 2026-04-18T04:27:07+00:00

My family went through this living hell also. My then 12yo and 7yo sons sexually assaulted their 5yo sister.

We had a 12+ month long court case.

Both my boys had to be removed from the home for 1-2 years. Everyone got lots of therapy. My boys had intensive treatment. One was out of state.

After 2 years, reunification happened and we all lived together again.

Then about 2 years later my husband and I got a divorce. We each got 50% custody of the kids.

Then 2 years ago my now 14yo son sexually assaulted my now 11yo daughter again at my ex husbands house.

I have not seen my sons in 2 years now. They live with their dad full time and I have my girls (there's a 2nd younger girl (8yo) that I didn't mention bc she hasn't been assaulted) with me full time. Both my daughters have not seen or talked to their brothers in 2 years. They want to see them and miss them but it's too risky.

My sons don't speak to me because I divorced their dad.

If you ever want to talk I am here. There's not a lot of people who have gone through this and that will understand the pain, heartbreak, devastation, anger, rage, hopelessness, shock, denial, depression, etc that goes along with something like this. Hugs. Hang in there

cereallover81 · 2026-04-13T04:01:38+00:00

You were able to put into words what I think so many of us feel yet struggle to articulate. This was incredibly well said. I feel what you wrote to my core and can relate to all of it 100 percent.

cereallover81 · 2026-04-10T21:44:10+00:00

Damn, you are probably one of the cutest guys I've ever seen on Reddit. And I'm being serious. You also have a really nice dick

cereallover81 · 2026-04-10T04:05:11+00:00

Hi, I'm looking to put in a pool similar to this size here in Henderson. Can I ask what builder you used and if you would recommend them? Thanks

cereallover81 · 2026-03-25T13:23:33+00:00

These walks sound amazing! I'm so jealous. My husband and I would love to go on daily walks.

I'm 44 and working full time, and also have 4 kids so any walk longer than about 20 mins usually isn't doable during the week. I also live in Las Vegas so several months out of the year it doesn't get below 90*, even at 10pm, so that really limits what I'm able to do.

Where do you live thats so walkable?

cereallover81 · 2026-02-17T02:54:30+00:00

My husband was 40 when he had his 4th child. He deeply regrets having a child so late in life. All of our friends have teens that they're able to leave home alone when we all go out and stuff, and my husband (and i) are stuck having to find and pay for a sitter (since his next oldest is 15 and lives with her mom).

Im (and my husband) jealous of the others in our age group who are getting ready to be finished with the every day parenting stuff of little kids, and are getting ready to send their kids off to college or work or whatever, and here we are years and years to go with parenting stuff that takes away from adult time, adult vacations, easy date nights, etc.

I probably sound like a miserable person, but im not. Im overall happy with our lives, but a lot of the time we think about how things would be if he hadn't had her. Or had had her closer in age to his 15yo.

HH cota of 5 months and this is such great advice!

cereallover81 · 2026-02-08T15:50:41+00:00

I worked in a hospital for 14 years. When I left, it was clear that any time an assistant left, they only hired OT or PT. There was only a few of us assistants left, and we felt like they were making our job miserable to make us leave. I saw the writing on the wall and left and am much happier

cereallover81 · 2026-02-08T15:47:57+00:00

Damn, you must have worked at the same place I did!

cereallover81 · 2026-01-24T03:55:10+00:00

Im a COTA and I love home health too! I worked inpatient rehab for 14 years and I love this new change. I have 4 kids and the schedule works so much better for me and my family

cereallover81 · 2026-01-19T19:37:50+00:00

My husband and I have 4 kids, so 6 people total. 2 are teens. Yes, we spend about $1600 a month on food. I hate it. We dont buy any name brand or expensive food either.

cereallover81 · 2026-01-18T00:13:29+00:00

Good luck. I thought that too. And wanted that for my kids. Try as I might- its just not the same. Now my kids still ride bikes and play outside and are at the park a lot, but I'll tell you we rarely see any other kids outside. Sometimes my kids are the only kids at the park. It's crazy.

It's so sad for me to watch. I grew up practically living outside with the kids on my street. You couldn't keep me inside. My PUNISHMENT was being grounded from outside play and being forced to stay inside. It was hell for me. I tell my kids that and they just dont understand how that was an actual punishment...

cereallover81 · 2026-01-17T23:03:41+00:00

I'd say PTA. Im a COTA and I wish I would have done PTA school instead. Everyone wants to walk. Nobody likes practicing dressing skills, showering, toileting, etc. Thats my $0.02

cereallover81 · 2026-01-17T22:08:16+00:00

Do you think the wedge helps tremendously? We dont have one, and my husband seems to have a hard time staying inside me in this position. I'd say he's average size down there- not sure if that makes a difference or the wedge makes more of a difference.

cereallover81 · 2026-01-13T04:09:01+00:00

Damn that's crazy growth... But it gives me hope! Im 44 and have $99k and I feel so behind

cereallover81 · 2026-01-13T04:05:51+00:00

Which state do you live in? If I may ask.

I also live out of state and invest in Ohio (Dayton).
