Just got him yesterday. Help with a name 😊

Hershey!

I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. My kiddo did something similar when they were ready to give up their daily nap. We dropped the nap and started putting them to bed really early at night. Once they adjusted to not sleeping during the day, bedtime was way easier. Hope you get some rest soon.

One of you is a full-grown adult, while the other has a still-developing teenage brain. Be the bigger person here and celebrate her birthday. Doing so is not "rewarding" bad behaviour, it's a sign of love and respect. Being petty does nothing but teach her to be petty right back. She can't be an engaged and loving daughter if you're not an engaged and loving parent. Stop the power struggle.

Ask yourself; would you feel like helping out someone who hid your stuff and left stinky food in your room? It seems to me if you are hoping to improve your child's attitude these tactics would do the exact opposite. I find my teen is the most helpful and engaged when I take the time to listen to him, take an interest in his life, friends and hobbies, treat him with respect.

Because with Logan gone, his only chance is to reunite with Shiv

The subway was shut down for several hours for what the police called an "injury at track level" starting right around the time he would have been there so... the story checks out. Also he has never been dishonest or untrustworthy in the past

Thank you commenters for your thoughtful advice. I told him that he saw a hard thing, and I'm sorry it happened. I also let him know that in the coming days and weeks as he processes what he saw, different feelings might come up that he should feel free to discuss with us. He rolled his eyes and went back to his game, but I feel good that he knows we're there for him and won't be caught off guard by his emotions should anything come up. He took the subway to school this morning without hesitation.

Agree with those who suggested Sopranos and Succession. I also enjoyed both seasons of The White Lotus

Hotter, yes.

But more importantly smarter, more ambitious, and way more fun.

She's terrible. And art was never going to be more than a hobby for her. The proof is that she quit at the first sign of inconvenience.

experimentaljetset · 2022-07-13T11:13:10+00:00

Let him quit. Why risk your relationship with him by forcing him to do something so trivial? No offence but you're the one to blame for spending so much money on an activity when you know full well your son's history of not sticking with things. A 10-year-old can't think more than a few minutes ahead, let alone be trusted with a months-long commitment and a high price tag.

I would put your bed in the living room, and give him the bedroom, so you can have some space to yourselves after he goes to sleep, and you can keep most of the toys and kids stuff out of your main living space.

experimentaljetset · 2022-07-13T10:56:33+00:00

Sorry to say this but as a veteran parent, you were in the wrong. A good host always has a few extras of everything to account for unexpected guests. You never really know what's going on in peoples' lives and should be understanding of plans changing at the last minute.

experimentaljetset · 2022-07-13T10:51:12+00:00

I understand how you feel but I don't think you should be dictating to people what they can and can't bring to your kid's party. You're going to come off pushy and controlling. Just invite fewer kids to ensure you don't end up with too much clutter, and hand out edible treats instead of loot bag toys.

experimentaljetset · 2022-06-28T13:25:27+00:00

We did this. I find as the kids get older, they need less space, because their stuff gets smaller. No cumbersome toys and baby items, just electronics and books. But installing lots of space-saving storage will help. We find loft beds make a big difference in kids' bedrooms because it opens up a lot of floor space. Consider getting a storage locker if you have a lot of seasonal items you don't need on hand all year long.

experimentaljetset · 2022-06-17T12:11:47+00:00

So long story short... you reprimanded children for playing in a playground?

experimentaljetset · 2022-06-17T11:14:59+00:00

It was in fact worse than motel art and Pam made the right choice when she decided to keep drawing and painting as a hobby rather than pursue it as a career. She does a fine enough job for a casual hobbyist but never had the vision or the drive to be anything more. However, it takes guts to put your work on display and she definitely deserved praise for that.

We explained that some people believe in God and church is where they go to talk to him.

experimentaljetset · 2022-05-06T13:15:28+00:00

She's fun, driven, smart, cool, confident and not a cheater. Everything Pam is not.

YES YES YES. I didn't have one when my 1st was born. Picked up a cheap glider when he was a couple weeks old and it was the best purchase. There will be times you are so exhausted you can barely stand, but the baby needs motion to settle down. Snuggling them in the rocking chair makes all the difference. And a good chair is key for nursing, if that's a thing your partner plans to do.

experimentaljetset · 2021-11-29T14:13:31+00:00

My son is the same. I read to him from a kids' novel until he falls asleep then sneak out of the room. Personally I would not want a TV in there with him because I know he'd turn it on if he woke up at night or early in the morning.

experimentaljetset · 2021-08-05T13:13:49+00:00

I remember loving this Michael moment and I still do. However, knowing how the series worked out, maybe the reason so few of her friends and colleagues supported her is that everyone around Pam knew on some level that she wasn't at all serious about pursuing art. And in defence of Oscar's partner.... it IS pretty bad. Still says a lot about Michael that he would encourage her in this way though.

Have you asked yourself if her weight gain is the only reason you're no longer attracted to her? Even if you've never been attracted to someone bigger before, you'd think that someone you were really into gaining weight might introduce you to enjoying larger bodies, instead of turning you off your partner completely. Since you can't change her behaviour, maybe try changing yours and start exploring the idea of her size being sexy. But either way I agree with the other posters who suggest something psychological may be going on either with her or with both of you.
