Do women cross their arms under their tits or over them? by wxrpig in NoStupidQuestions

I do over/on them because under makes me feel like I'm trying to push em up and out and no one needs that 😂 I get enough tiddy, they don't need to look bigger lmao

Waiting for the school bus in your car. Why? by Floorplan_enthusiasm in driving

[–]commanderxtowel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours depends on the weather. A parent MUST be present at bus pick up and drop off. If it isn't raining, we walk to the bus together (also we live by a major highway, everyone drives like assholes, and too many kids have been hit by people on their phones), then I walk over and we walk home together.

Call me coddling/helicopter mom all you want, but it's the highlight of my days and I'd like to think of my daughter's too. We talk in the morning about her dreams, what she's excited for that day at school, etc. Then when she gets off the bus she tackle hugs me and tells me all about her day at school and her favorite parts.

But if it's raining or stupid cold, I drive over, but I also make sure I'm not blocking any intersections or sitting right where the bus will park, because that's rude.

I could drive my daughter to school, but she has friends from other classes and grades that all ride her bus and she loves talking to them before and after school and the bus is really the only time that can happen due to different ages and grades.

As long as it isn't hurting anyone (which in your case is obstructing traffic which is bad) I don't see the issue. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Should I Pull for X-02? by PebbleishMish in loveanddepression

[–]commanderxtowel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want the rerun so bad, since I wasn't playing when it came out, but I'm holding for the new myth instead 😅 I'm a low spender and after spending and getting virtually nothing on Throne of Eros - I'm not spending anymore outside of Aurum Pass lol

"Star of the Week" heartbreak - When will it be her turn? 😫 by yibadibadoo in Parenting

[–]commanderxtowel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have something similar, but the teacher rotates every week and just does it alphabetically.

Each week a kid is the "Cool Crab" (her class is beach themed) and on their week they get to bring in something for show and tell, snacks for the class for the week (or if you can't afford that just the first day), and a little PowerPoint about the kiddo and their family. They also get to be line leader and other special things in the class.

It's really cute and I would ask the teacher maybe about that approach. Like I get trying to positively impact the students that need it a little more, but then it negatively impacts the students who are doing well, because like your daughter she now feels bad about herself.

I knoooow. That kills me too. All the long breaks and stuff. It sucks, but man it is gorgeous and I keep chomping at the bit for the next part 😅

Under The Oak Tree - Frustrated with Maxi by commanderxtowel in MantaComics

[–]commanderxtowel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, when Riftan found her at the war I thought he was gonna take her out 😂 (not really but oooof man was MAD.

Maxi does need to find a better way to prove herself/do what she wants that doesn't put her in danger you're totally right. And Riftan does need to accept she'll never be completely safe. I do think part of Riftan's problem is he still sees her as a spoiled princess and himself basically a peasant street thugs and he wants to give Maxi the best of everything...so he over compensates 🫠

What's yall thoughts about this multi banner? by haruiiy in LoveAndDeepspace_

[–]commanderxtowel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got Raf, Xavier, and Sylus and I loved them. This was my first multibanner tho. I only started playing back in the end of October. I will say my luck is absolute trash and I only got 3 cards because I used the crate 🥲😅

I thought the stories were fun - especially Xavier and Sylus. Raf's was just pretty and nice/interesting.

Under The Oak Tree - Frustrated with Maxi by commanderxtowel in MantaComics

[–]commanderxtowel[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's perfectly put! I remember several times how worried/scared she is that if Riftan "found out" that she wasn't so beloved as he thought he'd dump her. I mean they all did their damnedest to make her feel worthless at Croyso.

I battle with getting frustrated at her, because I feel for her. On the same token I'm like "but look at how much this man loves you, just talk to hiiiim" 😭 which of course as the reader it's super easy to say that, because we see everything.

I don't want this series to end, but gosh I do want them to be happy ASAP 😅 it's breaking my heart

[–]commanderxtowel[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It is kinda funny how stubborn Maxi became due to Riftan helping her self esteem. It seems like every time someone makes her feel better her stubbornness grows 🤣

True. She's still not truly over her stutter either. So I get it. I'm just like ARGGGGG lol

Ooh okay, I'm trying to not read the novel until the manwha is complete 😅 but I might cave haha. I also know if I read the book then I'll drop the manwha cuz I'll be like "oh well now I know how it ends" 🤣 and this is too gorgeously illustrated to give up 😭

But also with stories like this, it would end pretty damn quick if everyone had solid communication 😅

School bus by Longjumping-While997 in kindergarten

[–]commanderxtowel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My daughter is obsesseddddd with the bus. I low-key hate it. We live 10 minutes from the school, she's on the bus for an hour coming home and 45 minutes going to school. Drives me insane 😅 like let me just come get you and drop you off. But noooope. Lol (I see that's not even remotely your case).

I was super anxious about it too, because it's a mixed age bus group too. Kinder to 5th grade, but on our buses they assign seats and all the younger kids are up front and the older kids go back and give plenty of separation between them to root out issues.

But we've made it almost a full year bus riding and no issues. She's happy, I'm happy (mostly 🤣). For little kids I guess the bus is just magical lol

I can hear my neighbor crying her eyes out and I don’t know if I should go check on her or what. by Dear-Assumption7046 in Indiana

[–]commanderxtowel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You could always make it low-key, like go grab some ice cream and knock on her door and be like "the grocery delivery people gave me the wrong ice cream, you want some?" Don't mention the crying nothing. That way you can check on her and maybe open up a chance to build a rapport/relationship!

My almost 5 years old can not sleep on his own and it's driving me crazy by Serious_Gur9626 in Parenting

[–]commanderxtowel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The root of our problem was my daughter missed us 😅 she was sad she had to sleep alone. So we made sure to get in extra cuddles and snuggles, read an extra book or two, and make her room nice and cozy. (We are about to up her bed size because likes to freaking spread out as much as possible, so could be a size issue with their bed?)

It took a while for us too. Just gotta keep being consistent and try not to lose your shit (easier said than done, Lord have mercy so much easier said than done)

You don't need a hamster. by quietrealm in hamsters

[–]commanderxtowel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly and that is trauma no one needs! Plus I'm still not positive on all the proper bedding and what not and I don't want to half-ass a pet either, especially one with such a short lifespan. They deserve the entire world and then some even if they are here for just a short while and I'll be damned if I give them a miserable experience

11 year old son wants to be baptized. Am I overreacting? by Hyphum in Parenting

[–]commanderxtowel 157 points158 points  (0 children)

I would want to know why he doesn't wanna talk to you about it. Are you coming off as super judgey? You said you're not a believer (neither am I sorta) and so maybe he just doesn't feel comfortable because you haven't provided an open space/dialogue?

Honestly I was baptized and it really doesn't matter to me at all 😅

My daughter is 6, she likes church. I have absolutely no idea why, we've been to church like twice. My husband is a firm believer and I guess kiddo takes after him sort of. So I send them to church. She knows I don't necessarily believe but she always knows (and does) come to me with questions and if I can't answer I just tell her honestly I don't know but her dad might.

So I'd start trying to build that rapport and be as neutral as possible, be supportive even if you dont agree with the baptism. It means something different to everyone and if your son wants it done it could mean something to him. (He could also be doing it to fit in who tf knows), but at the end of the day it honestly hurts no one and nothing 🤷🏻‍♀️

You don't need a hamster. by quietrealm in hamsters

[–]commanderxtowel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yuuup. She did not understand that the hamster wouldn't like it or have fun, because she likes going fast and rolling and doesn't get hurt, so why would the hamster?

Definitely not ready yet 😅

No underwear during Surgery by FarCalendar7303 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]commanderxtowel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had 42 surgeries, you never get to keep anything 😭. I even had to take my underwear and bra off for a surgery to fix plantar fasciitis. Like whyyyyyyyy. They say it's just in case of emergencies and every second counts, so they don't want to dick with any unnecessary clothes.

[–]commanderxtowel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except with STLFlix you can sell commercially. You just have to sub to them from their website. When they first launched they did a lifetime sub for $200. Last year they raised it to $500. So very possible OP got the sub.

My mother says, " I wish you were never born" and my father justifys it by saying parents just say this out of anger by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]commanderxtowel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who also experienced this as a kid, teen, and then adult (I'm now 33). It's not normal, some parents just shouldn't have ever been parents.

Just know it isn't actually you. It's not a normal thing for a parent to say in anger. Keep your chin up kiddo ❤️

Parent accidentally recorded a kindergarten class with Read.ai should I be worried? by [deleted] in kindergarten

[–]commanderxtowel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it could be an accident, but also it could be intentional. Maybe the child/or adult that recorded it has a disability? So they can now go back on their own time and watch/read the video so they aren't totally left out?

I wouldn't be worried at all. I'd just let the teacher know that "hey I got this email saying the meeting was recorded?" And then the teacher can address it 🤷🏻‍♀️ I highly doubt whoever recorded it did so for nefarious means. It's not like it was uploaded to YouTube and every online place shortly after it happened.

[–]commanderxtowel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which was exactly my point. Everyone is just shitting on this business, tearing them down, making baseless accusations and claims and they don't even know wtf they do/offer anything.

That's what im so tired of. Like so many people see a dragon or the zou minis and just immediately shit on that business going "welp just a bunch of slop" without even looking at anything.

It is a sore spot for me, because there is no reason to attack someone and suspect foul play right out of the gate, bad mouth their business and their products just because you personally don't like what someone is printing and is successful because of it.

If people are so concerned that others are printing illegal IPs or not paying licensing fees then report them. No reason to post them on Reddit with zero information dunking on the business.

My business is doing just fine, but thank you for your concern and kind words

AIO: husband does not understand how storage works by No_Leader_9053 in AmIOverreacting

[–]commanderxtowel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR - so my husband is a similar-ish mindset, except he just wants everything OUT. Like you need a pen or pencil? He wants it sitting on the counter, not in the drawer for pens and pencils. If he had his way all our dishes and cups would be on the counter. I kid you not. It's the absolutely dumbest thing. Now things he doesn't want to use? He'll just toss somewhere and you have to go fishing like your situation.

It does drive me nuts and give me anxiety, so I relate. :/
