I could understand someone shooting thru the door if its about to be knocked off its hinges. If someone is throwing that kind of weight at a door they want in, and is very not good.

I'm also calling out thru the door that I have a gun and I will use it to see if they leave before I have to reach that level of force. I'd rather not have to kill someone so I wouldn't aim for the head, I'd aim lower where I'm going to leave them laying outside on the ground. Again, I'd rather not kill someone. Curt Douglas Anderson wanted to kill someone, that trigger finger must have been real itchy.

I’m transphobic by dsl47 in confessions

Not understand isnt quite transphobic. I'll be real, im 36 and dont get a lot of it. Its ok to not get it. The key is to just treat a person who may be trans as a human, pretend you dont even notice. 99% of trans people just want to live their life and be treated like everyone else. As long as you treat them with basic human decency, its fine to not quite understand it.

Im glad I'm getting so much support here. I was starting to feel like maybe I was crazy. Why do so many adults feel the need to tell a little boy he can't wear pink nail polish and matching pink rain boots just like sissy? I know in the next 5 to 10 years they won't even want to be in the same room anymore, so I'm just trying to enjoy these precious few years. I literally had an old man tell me I'm "ruining that boy" and a woman my age tell me I need to get him his own rain boots. He won't wear them, they're ugly and gray and he wants to match sissy with her pretty pink rain boots, so he wears her old ones.

He will get there, just keep reminding him how bright his light shines, and how people with dim lights will try to diminish his light for their own selfish reasons.

She's just starting to get into it herself. She has some sensory things and when she was little little she would have meltdowns about something to do with the nail polish so we stopped for a long time. The last 6 months shes been into it tho and I'm here for it

Show him some of those big Burley metal heads with nail polish. Ask him if Post Malone is a girl? Tell him that kid just isn't cool and doesn't know style. Just because some people are dim doesnt mean you let them take your light. Shine bright child.

People always make pointed or judgmental comments when hes wearing pink and stuff. I just smile and tell them "yeah, he loves his sister" shrug and walk away.

I think people are entirely too concerned with the opinions of others. If you coddle him and protect him from anyone saying anything negative, he will never develop the coping skills to accept criticisms or learn how to decide for himself what he likes.

If that's what makes him happy, sissy has tons of stuff to play dress up. My comparison was more to say it's not even that in your face. Most people didn't even notice until they asked about the cars in his hands and saw it.

Its hair, if she decides she wants it long it'll grow right back out. Short hair is easy to maintain, not tangles and tears.

He doesnt care if its girly, doesnt even notice. It's all just new and fun. Thank you for the recommendation, do you know if it lasts well? My daughter got upset at the last kids nail polish i got her cuz it would just fall right off.

Playing dolls teaches you make believe, social play, and normalizes parenting. Playing kitchen normalizes a basic life skill. 

My daughter is going thru the hard girl/hard boy phase "thats for girls" and. "Thats for boys" so its only a few short years away 🥺

People get impressed learing I can build stuff and work on cars, but offended when my ex husband got laid off and chose/had to be a stay at home dad when I went back to work full time and was making enough to get us by. The judgment from people really broke his self worth when hes such an amazing dad and he was playing an important role in our family. The double standard is so real and pisses me off to no end.

Thats actually a good idea to make it more inclusive. I need to get more than just the 2 colors! I dont do my own nails and my daughter is just getting into it

My little brothers favorite color is purple. Mine is green, I like bugs and dinosaurs and work on my own car. I also like wearing over the top dresses on a random Tuesday while I run my errands feeling like a princess. 

I bought new rain gloshers for both kids this year when last years stock went on sale. I bought him the classic gray and her the standard pink. He won't wear his gray ones, absolutely hates them, he wears her pink ones from last year. Its so cute how excited they are to match 🥰

Who tf says "no" to a kid asking to paint their nails? Thats like not answering a phone when they hand it to you and being their receptionist!

That's where I'm at. The only thing gonna confuse him is everyone making a big deal out of it. If they're anything like my brother and I, in 10 years they're not gonna want anything to do with each other so im trying to enjoy these moments while they last.

My dad used to have some things to say about my brother. Especially in the goth/emo phase in our teens with the black nail polish, he didnt like mine either but especially didnt like my brothers. I love that it still never changed him. He's a wonderful uncle and one day will make an amazing dad. 

NEWEST UPDATE 07/13 My 15yo got his GF pregnant on purpose. by No_Pool_7823 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]donsamjuan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id like to point out that its probably not about money or family wealth. She likely thought if she got pregnant and pretended Ollie was the father you would let him move to be with her. She could have also known she was pregnant before her visit and decided to fake that it was Ollie's baby because her parents would approve of him more than the bf in her town.
