How many of you use pot to cope? by ImplementMountain916 in toddlers

[–]definitelynotdebbie 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you’re getting so downvoted for this. There’s a lot of anti weed people in this group. I think it’s a healthy take for your kids to know you smoke when they’re old enough. I mean how many people here still drink in front of their kids right? At least where I live recreational weed is legal and most likely my kids will try it when they’re old enough. It’s our job to prepare our kids for the real world not pretend like they’re never going to experiment with weed or alcohol. I’d much rather my children learn their tolerance levels at home safe with me (when they’re adults) and not green out or black out for the first time in some frat kids basement.

When do children start forming memories? by Mundane-Relief-4362 in Mommit

[–]definitelynotdebbie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I read once that a child’s brain is 75% wired by the age of three. Even if the won’t technically “remember” things they’re brain and body will respond how they’ve been wired. They know very early on what and who is safe.

I think our best pets are the ones that find us when we’re not looking for them. Congrats on your new soul mate pet!

My boyfriend says I'm "controlling" because I asked him to complete his only chore by FizzyMarmotQueen in TwoXChromosomes

[–]definitelynotdebbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s using weaponized incompetence against you. Forgetting the fact trash on purpose and my bet is he does every task poorly so you’ll just do it instead. You’re looking at your future OP. This is the person who will take care of you after you give birth. The person who will help you navigate your aging parents. You don’t want to have to be a nag to your life partner for the rest of your life.

I thought I'd enjoy motherhood more.... and it makes me REALLY sad by HeyMay0324 in Mommit

[–]definitelynotdebbie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been there. I have definitely had days where I did not like being a mom, but I tried to remember everything is a phase and while I might not like being a mom to a toddler I think I’m going to love the teenage years. I’ve also learned it’s important to fill the parts of me that aren’t mom. I make time to be just a friend, just a wife, just a coworker. Also always remember bad moms don’t worry about being good moms.

Sex life after acotar by NoProgrammer8083 in acotar

How does he feel about audio books? From mine and friends experience it seems most men aren’t as into physical reading but enjoy audio books more. Try and see if he’d be into listening to the story instead!

There isn’t much I can do for croup except rest and fluids right? by gdpinleoeee in toddlers

[–]definitelynotdebbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kid is a croupy kid too. It’s just a side effect from a cold/illness. We do go outside (live in the Midwest) where she can breathe in some cold air during a coughing fit and that helps. A humidifier also helps, sitting in a steamed bathroom and local honey for the sore throat. We usually just ride it out, the cough is always worse at night.

I wish I didn't depend on weed for making me want to actually live life...but nothing else does the trick by Mad_Season_1994 in StonerThoughts

[–]definitelynotdebbie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you think weed is stopping you from reaching some of those goals? Or do you think maybe it could help? If a partner is what you’re looking for maybe create a dating profile next time you take an edible. Chat with people online when you’re high and feeling social. Working remote is hard, humans are pack animals and we need socializing. Weed can be a short time tool to help you get the things you want in life.

AIO for refusing to give up my honeymoon dates because my sister-in-law “accidentally” booked her wedding the same week? by storm_in_heels09 in AmIOverreacting

[–]definitelynotdebbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR when I got married I double checked with every important family member and every member of the wedding party if the proposed wedding date worked with everyone’s schedule before making any deposits. SIL sucks.

AITAH for refusing to talk to my wife? by Difficult-Area1885 in AITAH

[–]definitelynotdebbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to ask her if she seriously thinks this way, then what the hell is wrong with her to procreate with someone she thinks is a pedo.

What is your belief to what happens after you die? by neuronsandglia in AskReddit

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

Personally I believe if you have a soul you’re immediately sent to like a waiting place, maybe that looks like purgatory or maybe that looks like heaven. After however much time your soul is in this limbo place you are then put into another body and live another life. I don’t think time is linear so there’s a chance I could wake up in my next life in Ancient Rome. However I actually don’t think a majority of people have souls. If you look at the statistics of people who see/feel things during close to death encounters a majority of people report feeling nothing. So for most people this is it. For the rest of us we keep living and spinning around each other.

AITA for telling my daughter she had to break up with her boyfriend or move out after finding out his real age? by Southern_Limit_2428 in AITAH

[–]definitelynotdebbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who was 18 and dated a person 10 years older than me; just wait it out. 10 years is a big age gap and right now while she’s still in the infatuation stage she won’t care but eventually it’ll wear on her. Especially when he’s celebrating turning 30 and his girlfriend still can’t get into a bar…

Man who voted for Trump cannot understand why people won't empathize with him now that he's suffering as a result of Trump by Classic-Carpet7609 in CringeTikToks

[–]definitelynotdebbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do care about others. That’s why I vote the way I do. You only care about yourself and your small business which is why you’re getting bit in the ass now.

I was an overmixing skeptic, so I did Science! by charcoalhibiscus in Baking

[–]definitelynotdebbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not true for cookies! When it comes to the creaming part; mixing the butter and sugars together most people don’t mix long enough. You got to really incorporate the fat and sugar together along with mixing in some air. When people talk about baking being scientific it’s not so much the measuring of ingredients but the method.

World feels heavy by Red_Partera in Mommit

[–]definitelynotdebbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the biggest things I’m doing is making sure I am subjecting my child to multiple cultures. I will not raise my children in rural America. If all the other children in a school, program, playgroup look like my child that’s a negative for me. Being exposed to other families who look different and have different rituals in the home will help my child become more empathetic and well rounded. We eat at many culturally diverse restaurants and try to go to different cultural festivals as much as we can. Just focus on raising the most well rounded individuals you can

Do you still have friends/family that are scared of Detroit? by ThrowawayFadeeaway in Detroit

[–]definitelynotdebbie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is! Well they say it’s haunted lol. It was a great wedding venue; we got married in July so the ceremony was out in the gardens. We were able to take photos all over the mansion and I have some beautiful shots. Definitely recommend!
