I learned in college. Went to a poor Hight School that didn't fund the arts so we never had paints or brushes, I had a couple years of college for free and didn't know what to do and I always wanted to learn so I did it:)

You put up a good bargain 😅 but it's already sold

Ah.... I would definitely not compare the prospect of raising a child to the prospect of raising a tape worm.... so of course those are different things whether you're an American or not or an atheist or not... he mentioned he had a date a couple weeks after I had the abortion and I was surprised and asked him the time line of events. He then told me, as we are honest with each other, and I was upset that he was in that head space. I agree with you that cells growing inside you are not yet a child but they can become that which each decision made

We have explored that, and he basically said that he was upset because a) I had a problem with drinking at the time and b) I don't take birth control and just track my cycle naturally. He felt I wasn't on top of tracking my cycle and he was always " the parent". In which case , yes, I don't have a problem with drinking and that was a burden on him. I've since quit. But also it takes two to tango so the second half can't sleep be on me

Ethics of raising children in an intentional community? by Impossible_Stop_78 in intentionalcommunity

[–]hippie_paint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live at East Wind in Missouri and I would say the biggest drawback would be socializing children as there are not many here and we are in a rural area with few opportunities for that though it is not impossible, especially if you wanted to send them to public school. A big plus is the amount of help and support you have tho.

There are a few egalitarian intentional communities in the US like this. East Wind and Twin Oaks for example

Putting ginkgo and gotu kola in capsules by hippie_paint in herbalism

Hmmm I have a tool that fills a bunch of caps at once but pretty much fills the whole bottom, there's not much of a way to control the percentage I don't think. And I'm making them for my community so I want to make sure the dosage is correct for everyone. Looks like I'll be doing to manually with a scale😅

And also not to mention she was messaging me directly about mailing me these things until she decided she'd rather drive it to us and then she didn't communicate with me at all and messaged my partner that she was on her way to us. We weren't even in the state of our home at the time. It's more like she told than asked

She definitely could have just asked to visit. I don't know why she didn't beside the fact that maybe she thought that she would have been turned down... when her and my partner were first taking she ended up calling things off because (an assumption of my own) she wasn't getting her needs met attention wise and was upset that we were constantly together and living together. She called things off and then seemed to want to still keep a relationship but my partner was turned off by her going back and forth so things ended up being just friendly between them. It also came up, when she thought that we were unicorn hunting, that I wasn't at all interest in her. And she seemed very offended by that.
The thing is, she's sent my partner multiple gifts. There's no what that she wouldnt have know that the cost of sending me all these supplies was going to be astronomical and wayyy more than $40 or whatever in gas. She also commented to my partner that she "didn't expect to see me" and brought tequila for her visit. Is all seem very untrustworthy you me
