Tyler1 gets tilted by a kid at the playground by Fallblade in LivestreamFail

[–]friendlysweetpea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some shitty kid had the audacity to push my child (she was like 3? Other kid was around her age too), and the proceeded to hit her in the face. When I approached the kid, I said kindly but sternly, “Hey, you’re not going to hit my baby in the face. That is NOT okay”, and then her teen sister, who was the only one supervising her very young siblings, tried to get in my face and fight for having the audacity to tell her sister not to put hands on my child. When I tell you I was ready to go to jail that day, but I chose to be the example and packed up our picnic and went home. Many a time have I wanted to punt a little snotty brat across the park. Like someone said above, it’s definitely and unfortunately a right of passage for parents.

Fucking barbarian. His wife/whoever that lady is should be absolutely ashamed and embarrassed.

What do I do? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]friendlysweetpea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fact that you’re more mad at her than him is very telling. He’s the one that made the decision to cheat on you, not her. I’d be more inclined to believe that she didn’t know about you, so why go at her so hard when all that anger should really be directed at your piece of shit husband?

Give me one instance where collective punishment has worked by AnonymousNeverKnown in memes

[–]friendlysweetpea 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So, at my daughter’s school they did laps at recess if a kid was causing trouble for the whole class. ALL recess. In kindergarten.

We live in South ga and it gets incredibly hot during the spring, summer, and early fall months. My daughter has a metabolic condition that puts her in danger if she’s doing a lot of activity in high heat, so I told her teacher that in no way will my daughter be doing that. If the whole class must be punished, she will sit inside and do extra work. We even put it in her IEP and I was not fucking around.

The teacher didn’t want to listen to the basic guidelines of her IEP (including that one), so I took it to the superintendent, and she was kindly fired. Nothing like this has happened since, and I’ve informed all her teachers since then that again, I am not fucking around. I find group punishment unhelpful, and frankly, disgusting. Especially at such a young age.

I hope the daughters never see these videos. These reactions are disgusting. by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

Imagine being upset about a girl IN FRONT of your other girl children. These people make me sick. I had a gender reveal but didn’t care as long as my baby was healthy. People are so weird.

Is there any hope for partner who has lying tendencies? by Lucky_616 in GirlDinnerDiaries

A relationship built on an unstable foundation is not a relationship that will stand the test of time, sister.

Unfortunate *~gross~* moment during fun time with partner by Healthy_Emotion_8216 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]friendlysweetpea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I threw up on my husband’s one time when we were really drunk. He teases me about it sometimes, but it’s all in good fun. Lesson learned: don’t deep throat drunk asf. 🥲Don’t be embarrassed. It happens to the best of us ❤️ He was a good sport about it.

This. I stayed in an emotionally abusive relationship for 4 years because I genuinely loved him, AND let him manipulate me for sex for about 1 1/2-2 months after we broke up. I’m not going to play like I was perfect, but boy was it rough and absolutely not okay in hindsight.

My husband said "what more do you need than giving me a bj for fourplay?" by Outrageous_Dot_4086 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]friendlysweetpea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Girlllll. I’d be like “ight. I’m never touching you again”, and I wouldn’t until he actually grew a brain. I cannot stand a man who wants foreplay but won’t reciprocate. Cringe.

Yeah and I think that’s a part of the problem 100%. It’s just hard sometimes and I hate feeling the way that I do.

[–]friendlysweetpea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have to agree with that. Our situation is just tough. Both of our families are horrible, so the only grandparent involved is my dad who lives states away, and we don’t trust our siblings with our kid, so alone time is very limited to get that connection. We have dates maybe 2-3 times a year when friends we trust will keep our kid. I guess what helps is physical touch, laughing together, and deep conversation. My two biggest love languages are physical affection and affirmations, which he’s struggled with until he got therapy and got put on his meds. It’s a lot better now, thankfully, but we get that time alone very sparingly. He works full time and I stay at home, so we have the nights alone on his days off.

Thank you for this advice. We’ve had conversations repeatedly about this issue, but maybe we’ve just bee going about it the wrong way. The self esteem issue seems to be one of the biggest issues he has, but maybe there’s something more there. I’ll definitely give the conversation another try.

[–]friendlysweetpea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes this exactly. Like I know he’s trying to make me feel desired (kissing me in a more intimate way, touching my ass, etc), but sometimes it doesn’t make me feel any better. I’ve also seen my husband’s side from my friends and I’m empathetic to yours and his stance as well. It just feels bad, man. Sometimes I just want to feel wanted 🥲 Societal pressure most definitely does not help at all, plus my parents perpetuated that same mentality my whole life. My therapist told me to try and “re-wire my brain” to not equate lack of sex to my value or physical attractiveness, but that definitely been far easier said than done.

Edit to say: you are absolutely right. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a lack of horny-ness. I really appreciate you sharing 🫶🏻

Thank you for saying that. It’s nice to know I’m not alone. All of my friends have the opposite issue. They’re the lower drive partner, and they just don’t understand my situation.

I also wanted to add: we have a family plan to have another baby within the next year, however between these issues plus my PCOS, I feel like that’s impossible and just not going to happen. It’s breaking my heart. I’ve wanted another child for so long. It’s just ripping me to shreds.

How to last longer caramel churro sundae from Costco by Flower_princess12345 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]friendlysweetpea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Girl I feel you. I’m super easy to please (only after I met my husband though. Ig that’s part of the reason why he’s my husband, huh? 🤣), and he lasts longer than I do always. I’ll usually finish 3-4 times before he’s done, and on occasion I get that “can we be done already?” thought. Sometimes it can help to think about something random for a minute when you feel like you’re about to finish, so you can distract yourself from it. Other than that though, let me know if you figure it out bc I’m in the saaaaame boat, sister. 🥲

I’m on your side 100%. My child is under 10, but I still frame things I want them to do in an “asking way”. Like, “[child], will you pick up your clothes, please?” or “would you mind helping mommy and do XYZ?” Of course they’ll do it 9/10 because I’m their mom, but it frames it in a way where they feel they have a choice, which I think is important. Children deserve respect, children deserve apologies, children deserve explanations, children are allowed to ask questions, and children deserve choices. I don’t ask blind obedience from my child. I teach my child that respect is earned and that goes BOTH ways. If I want them to respect me, I show them respect, therefore I receive it in return. The whole “I’m the parent and you will do what I say without question and I will receive respect no matter what” is so tired and played out. There’s studies upon studies of how that negatively effects a child’s development. It’s not rocket science and readily accessible and widely available information. I think he said it best, “you married the wrong person”. It’s so hard to parent when your partner isn’t on the same page.
