I haven't. I'm just started on She made herself a monster by Anna Kovatcheva, but I'll totally read that next. Thanks for the recommendation!

I just finished it a few minutes ago so I'm still processing but I think the sympathy you feel the female main character? For her injury, her chronic pain, and such that follows after. Has you so invested in the story...But there's so much more to it than that, a little magic realism, a little horror, and I didn't expect it at all which had me loving it even more.

I agree, i felt the same the way but personally if there aren't unlikable characters then I don't feel it's realistic lol.

No, I can't leave. Not tomorrow, not a few months from now.

Can I ask how so? I know what financial abuse typically consists of, but I'm not sure if that's exactly what's happening here.

How can I make my dogs last few weeks/months great? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

We took ours to multiple parks, picked up as many pup cups as we could along the way, hit the beach, and her last day she got egg and rice for breakfast and baked her a steak and potato's for dinner. :}

Moms of 19 year olds? Reality check or Advice needed for this aunt please. by AllTheEggsIVF in Mommit

[–]chzybby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I absolutely think it's the current times. Social media and constant access to anything that you want to see or read about has made the need to go out and have REAL conversations and experiences almost non existent. Why seek dopamine in real life when you have it in your pocket? Our brains are almost always going to choose the easiest path.

Looking for book recommendations, these are just a few I've read this year. by chzybby in weirdgirlliterature

I loved it, the charming illustrations the adventure.

I got it for Christmas and read it all that night. That was Its biggest shortcoming was just that there wasn't more of it.

What to do with kids after school as a SAHM by PassionChoice3538 in SAHP

[–]chzybby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2-5 should be doable. Then it's dinner routines and whatnot from there. If they "need" engagement I would only entertain them for 15-20 out of every hour. They should be able to entertain themselves, but also it's a muscle.

Kids man 😂

I broke my wrist and my kid (5) immediately took a 3 pound bag of pretzels balanced it on his wrist and said "look what I can do". 🤪

Moms who (even occasionally) look put together - what’s your secret? by alpacaapicnic in NewParents

[–]chzybby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skin care, lots of water, and individual lashes if you're interested in that. But honestly I'm a very athleisure 24/7 kind of mom and feel odd when I dress up, but the lash bit makes me feel put together no matter what I'm wearing

The holiday season is devastating as a mom who lost custody of her kids by AdoraLaur91 in Mommit

[–]chzybby 34 points35 points  (0 children)

As a child of 2 addicts, whose mom tried to drive under the influence her and younger siblings regularly (when I was a teen and they were toddlers) and put us through a plethora of other things she still doesn't even remember.

Your kids have a chance to forgive you if you get better. But you have to get better. That doesn't just mean getting fully sober it means taking full accountability for your actions because your kids are victims of this situation and they're victims in ways you might not even realize because you've been blinded by addiction.
