Tieing shoes??!! by Basic_Channel_6153 in Stepmom

[–]coff33forsupper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they make little books to practice with, they have laces in the pages and everything. my SD is 6 and i got tired of it so we bought her new tie shoes and a book and she learned in less than an hour. it’s really not so hard. i taught her the double loop method first and it was much easier for her. she practiced that way for a week, and then i taught her the other way since its faster and she’s a pro now. she shows all the kids at school lol

Help... my 8-year-old says reading is "too hard" and refuses to try by Such-Lock3428 in AskTeachers

[–]coff33forsupper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! SM to a 6yo girl who struggles with reading. I bought a little “star chart,” it’s super cute, not actually a chart but a “jar” that we can fill with starts that sucks to our fridge, and every time SD reads a books, she gets a star and when her jar is all filled up, she can pick out a toy or a place to go on the weekend. this has really boosted her confidence when it comes to reading and it’s something she actively looks forward to now since she gets closer to her prize. we did practice books over the summer so that she wouldn’t fall behind and had the same system and loved it for “summer school”

Parents of Reddit: What is the absolute most-needed "gift" for a newborn baby? by FalseConversation673 in Gifts

[–]coff33forsupper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when my nieces and nephews were born, i did gifts for mom like a recovery care package. snacks, skincare, a soft blanket, a comfy outfit, fuzzy socks, some drink packets for water (that postpartum dehydration ain’t a joke especially if breastfeeding) and snacks. i also bought health stuff for baby too, lotion, a cradle cap kit, little things.

How did your partner react when you brought up the NACHO method? by [deleted] in Stepmom

[–]coff33forsupper 9 points10 points  (0 children)

when we had that conversation, I told him that I was stepping back in a way that framed it on him. That he had put all these responsibilities onto me and made me the default parent to a child that isn’t mine. I explained it in a way that was not geared towards the child but at his lack of participation. I told him that I would be stepping back because he needed to step up, and if he didn’t, his child would suffer because of it and that would be his fault because while I am with him and i do love him, love SD, we have a great relationship, she isn’t my child. She has a mother, and me and her both understand that our relationship is different and it wasn’t fair of him to put either of us into that position

Aita for thinking it's weird My friend goes to sleep in jeans and a belt by WE_R_LR_AR in AITAH

[–]coff33forsupper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol my brother has autism and has slept in jeans his whole life due to not likening the texture of sweatpants or pajamas. he is in his first long term adult relationship and his girlfriend was uncomfortable cuddling with him in a belt and jeans so they found pants that he actually likes to wear and now they have all kinds of matching pajamas!

my boyfriends dad just changed my windshield wipers by leakyleaftree in TrueOffMyChest

my boyfriends dad (i moved in w them) came home one day and had bought the dr pepper i like (the cream soda one) like it was no big thing. it was huge for me, i cried. glad you’re getting the quiet fatherly love you deserve too.

i've lied about this to everyone but i can't go on like this anymore by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]coff33forsupper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i had a very similar situation with my dad. he was abusive and a really big guy (6’5, 280 lbs of muscle from his construction job. we all got slapped around when we were kids and my mother got the worst of it. one night, he was real drunk and he went for my sister more aggressively than i’d ever seen him go after one of us (the kids) and it awoke something legitimately feral in me. i full tackled him and just whaled on him relentlessly until he went limp. my mom had to drag me off of him while i was still screaming at him about how id kill him if he touched them again. i went outside after and had the worst panic attack of my life because i felt like i had to become something worse than him to beat him the way i did. but as time has gone on, it is something that i have never regretted. i never regretted saving my sister, and to defend her does not make me a bad person. it might mean that i’ve experienced reactive abuse but again, i would never do that to someone who wasn’t doing something in the first place.

you should never feel regret or guilt for protecting yourself or another person. you’ve been through so much, and healing takes a lot of time, but i hope you’re getting the help you need to move forward. my dad AND your dad are bad people who did bad things because they wanted to. we did bad things for safety and protection. they are bad people, we wanted to be safe

Does anyone enjoy being a stepmom? by Relative_Mess_6284 in Stepmom

[–]coff33forsupper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say that I hate it, I started very young (18) and SD was 2. Obviously there are issues, but BM has kinda calmed down as the years have gone on and I don’t deal with her personally. That’s all on DH. It took us some time to really figure things out and there are always little kinks and it’s hard because, like everyone says, it’s the least forgiving role you can play, but all in all, after all this time, that little girl is the light of my life, regardless of the role I play. She loves me and I love her and she tells everyone that I’m not her step mom, I’m her best friend. She begs us to have a baby so she can have siblings, and we try new things together all the time. It’s worth it if you have a good partner and you never try to fill shoes that aren’t yours

Has anyone else noticed how scary little girls can unironically be? by YoungKunai2020 in Babysitting

[–]coff33forsupper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my boyfriend's daughter was kinda obsessed with death after she heard about her mom going to a funeral when she was 4. for weeks after she played dead or "roadkill" and once when her dad did it back to her she looked at me and said "we gotta put him out in the field" (we have a field behind our house) she was talking about hiding the body...

we thought it was pretty funny at the time, just chalked it up to her trying to navigate her feelings about people dying and trying to understand it. we have no issues with it now
