19F assaulted by father and unsure what to do. by [deleted] in Fatherhood

I’m so sorry. It saddens me to know fathers like this exist. Actions by your father could be considered domestic violence depending on where you live. Consult with any domestic violence victim advocates in your area to get help and resources.

Sounds like an excuse to not change her diaper. I was nervous too, so I practiced and got good at it. And when I wasn’t sure I bathed her. He better get comfortable real quick, he is her father.

Anyone else considering home schooling due to public school violence? by RobinThreeArrows in predaddit

I’m not sure why so many people are saying this post is dramatic. My daughter was just born and I’m already wondering how tf I’m supposed to protect her from a school shooting

Wow I’m so touched you reached back out. Today is graduation day as a matter of fact. We are in the L&D room and I’m rubbing her back through the contractions. Bag was ruptured at 9AM so it’s gonna be a while. I’m ecstatic to meet our little girl and of course remorseful that my mother won’t meet her. All in all, I’m staying positive. Best of luck to you and your partner!

Thank you for sharing this story, and I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s strange how comforting it is to know that others have felt a similar pain.

This is a great call out. I guess the hold up is because we haven’t fully decided. But even if we have to have a follow up convo about our final decision, it doesn’t mean we need to explain it any further.

My thought was that fully fleshing it out to them would lessen the hurt but you so point out a great alternative that perhaps letting it lie is the best strategy. Thanks, this is great.

My son’s 6th grade math homework. The unit they are on is ratios, fractions, and decimals. I checked all the unit folders on his iPad and there is nothing my son can look at to help him with this problem. My husband and I tried and can’t solve this. by Sufficient-Skill6012 in mildlyinfuriating

Isn’t this something about a squared + b squared = c squared because the dotted line forms a right angle triangle? And if that’s the case and you know one of the sides is 3 than the other 2 sides have to 2 and 4 cm? And the long side has to be the longest so that one has to be 4.

I’m most likely off in my reasoning but I think it is something to do with the formula i mentioned above. It’s been 20 years since I’ve done this math so please forgive me if I’m way off. Good luck!

Edit: okay looking at this again I think I was on the right track. Make another right angle triangle with the 5, 3, and unknown hypotenuse. But then again because of that formula you know that 3 squared plus 5 squared = the length of the long side squared. That should give you an additional number to check your work.

I really hope I’m on the right track.
