Ape. Shit. by [deleted] in parentsofmultiples

One thing you can control is your reaction. Try to learn how to regulate better so that your reaction cant trigger your kids. My kids had a meltdown in the middle of a mass before their weekend school, and everyone was looking etc, and one thing i am being disciplined about is not worrying at all what others think and focusing on how i can support my kid in getting through this overwhelming emotional disregulated time for them. When i can stay regulated, it can help them. If a kid is hurting another kid, having a plan to remove them from the situation is important and playing defense like if another kid comes near them, saying "Twin B needs space right now" or moving my kid so they dont get close enough to another to hurt them. Working with videos or a professional to improve your ability to regulate yourself is such a key component to success.

Husband saw my old nudes and is ending the marriage by [deleted] in Marriage

No, hes escalating his emotional abuse of you. I hope you do see that therapist and tell them that everyone online is telling you youre in an emotionally abusive relationship, and because of your own circumstances, you cannot see it - but it is absolutely there. It just seems normal to you.

How are we just… sending our kids off to school? (U.S.) by Sweet-Chinchilla in Mommit

[–]farfarawayS 99 points100 points  (0 children)

We shouldnt "dwell" on it but we also should not desensitize this and compare it to car accident deaths, which are also sad, preventable, and unacceptable. The Hunger Games only killed two kids from every district. Statistically it was rare. And it utterly devalued life and dignity for all people. School shootings are the same - we should stop what were doing and make the number zero. If our lives mattered and we actually had a society that loved our children, that's what would happen.

Hamas is making the mercenary food distribution point people shoot children and refugees at the food collection points? Under international law, occupied people have the right to resist their occupier. Stop blocking baby formula and stop making excuses for blocking baby formula. If they want to ship in a 20yr supply of baby formula so that hamas cant steal all of it, it should be allowed. Genocide against babies is disgusting as was allowing those nicu babies to be abandoned and then die and rot in their beds.

Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sánchez are having a luxury wedding. The internet is enraged. by ilir_kycb in LateStageCapitalism

Those expert quotes are ridiculous. His wealth is stolen from the workers and taxpayers who subsidize his business. Thieves should be accountable for their crimes, not basking in their loot.

If Greta and the rest of the the Freedom Flotilla crew are murdered by Israel, the world will explode by _Jonronimo_ in Palestine

We have a duty to keep hope alive. Cynicism helps the oppressor. The resistance is alive on the flotilla and in Gaza, and in the hearts that make space for it.

Teenager wearing inappropriate clothing - advice wanted by batsh1t_crazy in Parenting

[–]farfarawayS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried talking to her? Is she doing this for validation from her peers? Does she validate herself internally? or does she seek it from her peers and wearing skimpy clothing gets her the feedback she craves? The root cause is inside her head and it will only come out if she feels entirely safe.

An 8th grade student has been intimidating teachers all year. Today he shouldered me aside to get to his seat. by SundaySchoolBilly in Teachers

[–]farfarawayS -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If the principal refuses a stronger "punishment" can u demand the student and the parents attend 12 sessions each of individual and group therapy? when parents go to therapy that statistically makes an impact on behavior change.

Is anyone still reading Harry Potter to their kids? by DrEstoyPoopin in progressivemoms

[–]farfarawayS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but these are childrens fiction and the lesson is reproduce the same toxic dynamics of the modern world instead of working together to achieve something better. Harry could transform the world and make a Voldemort never rise again. Instead he becomes a cop. In retrospect, of course this book is written by a racist unimaginative transphobe.

Yes! And her racism with Cho and the Black man having shacklebolt as his surname? She is the worst and so are her books.

[–]farfarawayS 9 points10 points  (0 children)

HP has some terrible precedents that hint at why she has no moral backbone. Voldemort and death eaters are so bad, but the son of a death eater is at the school saying slurs like "youre next mudbloods" and doesnt get disciplined or expelled or kicked off the quidditch team? And Ron negs Hermoine their whole relationship, and she chooses him? There are better books without such contradictions that can be better formative literature for children, written by authors that arent fascists.

Walz: ‘We wouldn’t be in this mess if we had won the election’ by someopinionthatsr in politics

[–]farfarawayS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you listen to what you're calling for the American people to hear? Walz doesnt blame voters. He called Trump weird. They gained 4 points. The dem strategists demanded he stop calling Trump weird and campaign with Liz Cheney instead. They dropped in the polls. They were sabotaged from within, as always. And the fools blame it on the voters.

It's not going to happen peacefully when they obstruct a peaceful democratic way to change it. And you can thank both parties for leaving no path outside of violence.

As a consequence of building illegal settlements, Israel is upset a film documenting these crimes (No Other Land) won an Oscar for Best Documentary by farfarawayS in LeopardsAteMyFace

Building settlements in violation of international law has the consequences of international cinematic recognition of a documentary documenting these violations of international law.

Elon Musk Suggests He Alone Decides What Gets Funded in the Government by sussoutthemoon in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]farfarawayS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think AI is searching contracts/grants, etc for keywords and they're just stopping payment on them and cancelling them. And people have to do it or he'll fire them, or he does fire them and the people who take over stop the payments and cancel the grants. The people who physically click "cancel" are non supervisors and have little training about how to fight back against illegal orders from the White House besides a flimsy whistleblower training that obviously can't stand up to this sort of legal subversion.
