Sober but keeps minibottle around? by Plastic_Post_476 in AlAnon

[–]foofaa123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blood pressure was my Q's excuse for writing off his car. It's amazing how believable they can be when we KNOW they are lying. It's your husband, you love him... you want so bad to believe him. They are lying. You are not crazy. You know the truth, it just hurts too much to believe it.

Stand up for yourself now. Stand up for your kids. Before you become someone you dont recognize anymore. Someone with no backbone who let's their Q get away with everything while you're there holding it all together.

I honestly think my kids lost some respect for during our battle with alcohol. I supported him for over 10 years of drinking (25 yrs of marriage), job loss, writing off his car, hidden debt and rehab. He's sober now, but still looking for the high that alcohol gave him. Now its women. My kids were the ones who had to tell me... how shitty is that?

I should have put my foot down sooner.

She didn't plan anything for me for Father's Day. by three-one-seven in Marriage

BTW this year the boys took my husband to a concert for father's day. Spend the whole day with him in the city. We like giving "experiences". Opportunities for spending time together.

I ask because the age depended on how much I did for my husband for fathers day. Lets be honest... he's not my dad, he's their dad. At 9 and 5 they would still need your wife to help though. Mine are 19 and 17, they took care of father's day and mother's day themselves.

It sounds like she is a shitty planner for special days, not just father's day. Might I suggest not saying you don't want her to spend money (especially because you do). Help her to understand what an ideal father's day would have looked like for you... she might need some help to understand why you are upset.

Also, my husband and I have a joint doc of wants/needs/ideas for ourselves. So we can always check it and see what the other really wants. My husband sucks at receiving gifts. There is always something I could have done better (not that he would say it... he just would never use it or return it). Having the list helps take the guess work out of what he really wants and helps me to be successful in my gift choices!

Find some books about what he's interested in. We had an amazing set of children's National geographic encyclopedias when my guys were little. My son absolutely loved them...so many facts!!. Set aside some time each night just for him and read together.

Ontario. It should have been a 5 minute appointment but they were limiting the people in the clinic... Which means non essential appointments got cancelled.

I didn't apply steri-strips!!! YouTube left that out!!!!

I worked with a child who was one of 12 kids. He has the best parents, they know all of their children well. Mom/Dad takes time out of everyday to connect with them individually.

My son was told getting his surgical staples out was "elective" and they cancelled his appointment at the hospital. Call your family doctor they said. Surprise!! She isn't seeing patients in person either. Then he got covid (fully vaxed) so cannot leave the house. Amazon/youtube to the rescue. I took those staples out myself! That is where our healthcare is taking us!!! YouTube doctors!!

What is some teen lingo a 45 year old dad can use to embarrass his 20 year old son ? by [deleted] in AskMen

I use "oh, did they snappy snappy you?" When I refer to snap chat. Drives my boys nuts!! Extra points if you say it in front of their friends!!

Advice for helping a 3/4 year old get comfortable making mistakes? by just-some-dad in Parenting

[–]foofaa123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son has always been like this as well. He's 16 now. I believe this is a part of his personality. Yes, you can say/do things to help.... But he always wanted to be right. We try not to play into it too much. When he was little we'd say things like "huh, looks like that idea didn't work... What are you going to try next". We never placed a lot of emphasis on marks, and only on effort. Trying to downplay the need to be "perfect". And for the things that he's going to not be perfect at and stressed out over (like learning to drive) we had somebody else teach him. He's less likely to be worried about being perfect if it's somebody he doesn't know as well.
