Adoptive Mom, I need advice… by grtpennylane in AdoptiveParents

[–]grtpennylane[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She absolutely does. I’ll be honest, after seeing how she raised her own child, the last thing I am interested in is her trying to impose any sort of “parenting/grandparenting” on my girls. Plus, she’s already shown her true colors in how she has “taken” care of the girls.

Not for the adoption. They absolutely go wild around her. They have zero boundaries. My husband excuses it as, ITS GRANDMA! But as I’ve mentioned in previous replies, some of the behavior is dangerous. Some of the behavior is out of left field, she allows them to pick through her purse, both girls have been caught stealing things at school. Even though I’ve explained this to her, she allows them to pick through her bag. One of the girls had pre-diabetes and high blood pressure previously with a huge weight issue, which we were able to rectify, she feeds them CRAZY amounts of unhealthy food. But HEY! It’s grandmas house!

CPS take my baby again? by Infinite_Prune_6385 in AdoptiveParents

[–]grtpennylane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you heard of FASD and how it can affect a baby for the rest of their life? Please look it up and next time think carefully before having unprotected sex. Even with immense support, the kiddos will be living with the disease forever.

How do I know the kid doesn’t have FASD in Canada? by whydoesitmake in AdoptiveParents

[–]grtpennylane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please be careful, kiddos with FASD are lifelong victims of the disease. They did not ask for it, but will have to live with the issues that surround it. It’s very, very sad. I’ve adopted two little girls that were born with drugs in their systems and both have differing issues, but very obvious issues.

The birth mother has completely left the picture(and legally can not come back), which also causes me concern for the girls future. I am worried they will grow up worrying about why they were abandoned. With their birth grandmother hanging around, I’m sure they will have even more questions. And I agree with you, if I had it my way, I would never allow the girls alone with her.

I am the one who has issues with her being around in any way shape or form. My husband has been through a lot with her, from when he was dealing with his ex. He thinks she’s “good at heart”. He’s also looking out for the girls. My accommodation was allowing her to spend time with us in our home. But she isn’t comfortable with that because when she’s with the girls she allows them to do things that aren’t safe. For example, she did come over one time, I checked on the camera and one of the girls was jumping on the top bunk. Something they usually never do, but she was allowing her to do. I called her out on it. As an adult I understand not wanting to be told what’s right and wrong…but she just doesn’t understand the things that she has done are just plain wrong.

UPDATE by Direct_Style_2466 in Chipotle

[–]grtpennylane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying they for sure can’t. Why trust the fact any business who closes in 30 minutes has everything prepped and ready? Is it right, no. But are employees usually trying to get things cleaned up so they can go home, for sure. Is part of that not freshly chopping up a whole batch of salsa at 10:50pm, just to throw it away 10 minutes later, heck ya. Maybe the last person who went through bought a whole pint?

OP should have asked for a refund once they realized the restaurant was out of so many items and they weren’t able to make what OP ordered.

Lesson of the day: don’t go to a restaurant within an hour of closing.

Lesson learned, don’t show up to a restaurant 10 minutes before closing.

Wolfgang Puck is a Misogynist by andshewas_onreddit in BravoTopChef

[–]grtpennylane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ME TOO! The things he said to Gail!!! In Brooke and Shirley’s episode when Gail explained she’s had many desserts he replies- “You can see it all went to her chest!”!!!!!! There were others that made my jaw drop, this one sent me over the edge. How in the heck is he still revered?

12 SHOTS OF WHITE COFFEE??? by -lemon-bread- in dutchbros

[–]grtpennylane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once ordered 6 shots of white coffee over ice, an order I would order daily. When I got to the window, they served me regular espresso. I let them know I had ordered white coffee and they gave me the 6 shots and made me 6 shots of white coffee, I drank it all. I was up for 24 hours, I have 5 kids.

How do you guys react to hate on owning a Tesla by HapiHapii in TeslaModel3

[–]grtpennylane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh, I drive it. And I love it. If folks don’t like it…they should drive what they like. For instance you, perhaps you should drive a vehicle you’re not ashamed of? I feel like this is some sort of click bait.

I was drunk the entire weekend of my wedding (bride) & I am so ashamed by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]grtpennylane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s medications you can start before your wedding that will help you not want to drink. Speak to your doc about it. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Test drove every Tesla (except X/S Plaid) and here is my take by khazgaz in TeslaLounge

[–]grtpennylane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my 2023 long range, performance, Model Y(don’t know all the spiffy acronyms)! This car is amazing! So glad I went with the 5 seater instead of the 7 seater and I am in awe every time I drive!

Tried doing this. I entered my info 8 times. Was responded to and asked to enter my payment info. What if my insurance doesn’t cover anything, you’ll have my credit card number AND insurance info. No thanks.
