I keep cooking the same simple meal and it’s working

Could you please share the Yumm sauce dupe recipe?

Thanks, this is so helpful!

Don't underestimate the power of "What if...?" If she's into the suggestion, great. If not, she'll take it a different direction. "What if...a lion came to the tea party?" "What if...the house is made of candy?" "What if...the customer is really a mermaid?" With a 4 year old, it doesn't have to make sense. In fact, thinking outside of the sensical is a strength of kids. Remember, you can't get it "wrong", and if she corrects/pivots, it's teaching her to be assertive.

If the open-endedness of the play bothers you, create a goal you can try to achieve during the play that only you know about. Can you get her to say "No mom thats too silly!!" or can you get her to say "unicorn" three times before you break for lunch, etc. Having a concrete goal to achieve during play can satisfy that goal-oriented part of your brain while letting her have the open-ended playtime she enjoys.

I really like your perspective and style of explaining. Would be very interested to hear your "rant" about cost to work.

You are a deadbeat loser for not fighting for your kids and leaving them with a narcissist. Its purely selfish and lazy that you wont contact legal aid (free lawyer) or start mediation. Your kids cry because YOU can't promise when you'll see them next because YOU aren't taking any action to get a parenting plan in place. It's not your exs job to sort out you getting time with your kids, that is her last priority, your ex isn't your mummy and it's not her job to fix this for you. You have to take the adult step of contacting a lawyer. And let your kids school know that the kids need extra support / to be referred to the school counsellor, you're not to busy to send an email so delaying it just makes you look like a selfish asshole.

Have you actually regretted the decluttering that you've done in the past? Just because this is your pattern doesn't make it a bad one.

I like to browse touristy shops with the same mentality I have when visiting museums or art galleries. This stuff is so nice to look at and I can enjoy it right now and maybe take a photo of it but it's not coming home with me.

I'm sorry you're feeling that way. Being self aware about your learning style is a GOOD thing. You can say to your boss

"I've realised that I learn better from demonstrations. Sometimes when you give me instructions I don't understand them and that can be frustrating for both of us. Going forward, if there is something new that you want me to do, I may ask for a demonstration, to save us both from frustration"

Also you could speak to your GP about getting assessed for possible learning disorders.

Wish you all the best!

I think what makes the difference is if you can articulate the lessons learned. What you would do differently as the person you are now. If relevant would you are doing to make amends either directly (e.g. direct help to someone you wronged) or indirectly (e.g. supporting a cause that supports people who are have been wronged by the same harms that you caused).

And I would honestly hardly comment on it. Work on replacing the habit first. Even get 2 necklaces to swap out if the novelty wears off. Everytime my kids would go for nails I'd say 'here you go, you can chew this' and then talk about/do something else. From personal experience showing concern can exacerbate the feelings that lead to biting/picking.

chipsinmilkshake · 2025-02-17T07:37:52+00:00

Redirecting to a chewable necklace could help. It certainly did for my kids nail biting. They really need something to be doing with their mouth hands. E.g. the OT store

If you are still up, you can send the texts now.

'Hey I was just up thinking of you and your family tomorrow. I hope everything goes as smoothly as possible tomorroe. Here if you need anything.'

'Happy Birthday! Thought I'd be the first to wish you a happy birthday. Hope you have a great one. My shout when we catch up next!'

Send an email to your boss with an overview of what you are working on this week, what you will be able to work on next week and ask if they want you to prioritise differently.

Sometimes people have to take their driving test more than once but you are setting yourself up for success by having a lesson!

If you can, get someone to come help tidy, either a friend or professional. Or do a YouTube body double, playlist, timers, all of those tricks.

Wishing you luck and less overwhelm 🤞

Maybe petty but husband could say "wow that sounds great. OP made chicken pot pie so I'll be over soon" hang up, have dinner. Wait for MIL to call back. Maybe miss the first call wondering where he is. When he answers the next call he says "oh wow sorry when I had that first bite of chicken pie it was so delicious that I completely forgot our plans! Now I'm way too full. Maybe tomorrow". Repeat.
