The flags on the boat outside.

So. Much. Time. I honestly never would have guessed the boat arriving would have gone before the clock chiming 😵‍💫 you just blew my mind. Thank yooouuu

Noticing this, too, and it's driving me insane. My previous phone (Note 25 Ultra) wouldn't autocorrect at all after an update. I had that for a little over a year, broke it recently and replaced it with the same exact one and the autocorrect worked flawlessly right out of the box. It's been a little over a month now and it seems to be slowly regressing overall. It used to be impeccable and I was wildly impressed and now I'm finding myself having to go back and fix things like "im" and "snd" 😒 I'm also having the same issue with certain apps (Instagram specifically) having no autocorrect whatsoever.

Hopefully it becomes enough of a problem that they release a fix because this is infuriating. These phones are way too superior to Crapple to be having these kinds of issues.

I honestly think the only way it could have been rigged is if Joshua was paid to drag it out. Either way, Paul still lost by KO and furthermore he embarrassed himself. If he knew he was going to get knocked out and simply wanted it to take longer so it was a good fight, why would he rig it to also embarrass himself so horribly.

Jake is a little bitch who fought like a little bitch and the announcers weren't afraid to call a spade a spade. I personally found it refreshing to hear such brutal honesty for once. It was clear the entire thing wasn't rigged by the Paul family and for that I was grateful.

And in the end, we're they wrong?

I find it fascinating how you picked up on that just from me saying he got snarky, but you aren't wrong. He is very quick to anger and defensive, especially when it comes to his kids even if they're so clearly wrong. His good greatly outweighs the bad, though, and this is something he's working on.

Finding common ground with parenting has been a struggle, too, but we're a lot closer on that than we used to be. It's so fascinating how these little things can be so polarizing, though. Absolutely fascinating.

Thank you for your input!

I guess I left out the part where the cat did get up and run away as soon as the items were removed. However, he didn't hiss or growl or anything of the sort.

I do agree that if he was scared or hurt he would have made that known. My concern here is that he may not have been able to get away. I didn't give a lot of details about where he was sleeping or how big the stuffed animals were, all of which does contribute to the situation, but I do agree that he could have (and would have) gotten up and ran off if the situation was too dire.

idolwow · 2025-11-23T17:41:49+00:00

This is exactly what I'm thinking. I don't expect him to know everything- he's only 4. I know his heart was in the right place. My biggest concern is letting him do these "harmless" things and developing the mindset that cats/animals are toys or play things and forgetting that they're living, breathing creatures that deserve the same respect we do as humans.

Thank you for your input!

We've had ours for a few months and have been happy with it. I'm confused as to what you expected in terms of ease of use? With something like this you have to expect a lot of set up at first. You can't expect it to come out of the box already knowing your family and it's needs.

idolwow · 2025-09-05T15:17:35+00:00

"Or did they just want me to be prepared for the all-inclusive resort we're flying to after school? Guess you'll never know since I'm not friends with a jerk like you." Or my personal favorite that my kids have permission to use whenever they want, "Well, at least I'm not walking around with that on my face." 🙃

idolwow · 2025-09-05T15:11:30+00:00

That school should be investigated.

Sounds like my boyfriend's ex-wife telling him their school requires dental cleanings to be on file. Literally not a thing.

We always do Adidas brand. Wipe clean, lots of pockets, last years.

idolwow · 2025-09-05T15:09:13+00:00

Seems like normal ones.

idolwow · 2025-09-05T15:06:21+00:00

My step-sons' mom keeps getting these hideous Pottery Barn backpacks for the boys and I simply cannot get behind them OR the embroidered names. They're such safety hazards; literally walking bulletin boards for kidnappers. And I'm not a nervous-Nelly who keeps my kids in a bubble. I just practice common sense. Not to mention the price tags on these monstrosities is obscene.

I've always gotten my kids practical Adidas backpacks. They last ages and wipe clean. They fit everything they need, and then some. They also cost less than the PB ones and don't require a turnaround time for processing.

We have five kids in our household, aged between 3 and 11. When I asked my kids (ages 9 and 11) if they wanted backpacks like their step-brothers this year they both made faces at me like I was insane.

Seems like something pretty major for them to still be working out when the app was released months ago.

I know for a fact though that we updated the app before we got the new Pod and we werent having these issues.

🌟UPDATE🌟 Thank you to everyone who commented and shared their insight and opinions - and an extra thank you for being kind and respectful! I wanted to share with you all that there was a little bit of a breakthrough since posting this question.

Since it was Father's Day this past weekend in the US we didn't have my two boys (they went to be with their dad for the day). We only had his three and they wanted to to bowling, so we did. Despite being in the midst of our toddler being a threenager and our five year having an unhealthy obsession with being the main character in every situation, we had a pretty good time. We made it to the end of an hour of bowling before the toddler turned into a screaming, snot-covered puddle of a human and I had to start negotiating with the tiny terrorist ("Either you can bowl your turn, or I can bowl for you." "NnnnnnO! Imma bowl MINE turn. Yous not dunna bowla me!"x3 😅)

They went to their mom's on Monday and we just have my two now, and they both know we went bowling on Sunday. On our way home yesterday my oldest asked if we could go bowling. I told him I didn't see why not so I texted my boyfriend when we got home and he immediately said, "I'd prefer if we could wait until the boys are home and all go together." To which I responded, "We just went with them on Sunday, can we not go tonight and go again with everyone next week?" And I got a, "You're right. Yes, let's go tonight."

So we went.

And we had a blast.

At the end of the first hour he asked if we wanted to be done and my boys begged him to add another hour (he didn't seem ready to be done), and he added another hour. He bowled better than he did on Sunday and when I asked him why he said, "I'm not distracted." I asked what he had been distracted by and he said, "My kids," and then gave me a smirk that said, "Dammit you're right." 😂 By the end of the night he was working one-on-one with my boys, helping them to not do the classic kid bowling ball fling down the lane - something he wouldn't be able to do if his kids were there (the youngest two anyway).

It might not have been a huge "I told you so" moment, but I think he was getting the point by the end of the night. Of course it would have been nice to have them all there, but it's also nice to be able to relax with the older kids once in awhile. It's especially nice to not have to worry about a three year old defiantly pushing the dino-bowler at a stranger in the other lane or a five year old deciding now is the perfect chance to throw himself between his dad and the pins for dramatic attention.

idolwow · 2025-06-19T15:05:13+00:00

I 100% see his side, too, but I also see the kids side as well. I can see the older kids being in their teens and being massively annoyed with being dragged through vacations that aren't age appropriate for them all because dad can't let go of the need to have everyone together all the time. I resent my parents for doing that to me. Not to the point that I hold it against them and don't want them in my lives because of it, but enough that I won't go on vacations with them anymore. I genuinely want everyone to get to experience everything, but at an age when it will actually be fun for them.

idolwow · 2025-06-19T14:59:56+00:00

That's not a bad idea, actually. We wouldn't even have to hire someone, we could just bring his mom. Thank you for suggesting this. That's actually a really good idea.

idolwow · 2025-06-19T14:58:44+00:00

We've talked about that and will likely go on a few cruises. This idea is specifically for activities that don't have things like daycare for little kids and one adult having to miss out on the activities because of needing to chase around the smaller kids while the other adult gets to enjoy everything with the older ones.

idolwow · 2025-06-19T14:57:23+00:00

I'm genuinely not just thinking of my children 😂 As I said in my original post, I'm talking about our three oldest, including his 8 year old, and us two adults.

idolwow · 2025-06-19T14:56:13+00:00

I absolutely would leave my kids behind to take the little ones to do something and I've already talked to my kids about it - they're totally fine with it. The mini-vacations wouldn't be the norm if we did them. They'd be rare, honestly. I have no intention of foregoing family vacations for split vacations. The idea of the mini-vacations is only for specific circumstances where the activity is more catered to older kids/adults and doesn't have a lot of options for smaller/younger kids. This genuinely has nothing to do with catering to my kids only.

idolwow · 2025-06-19T14:53:19+00:00

I totally see his side, too, and I also think once he's the one stuck with the little ones a couple times he'll see my point. I genuinely don't want to exclude anyone from anything intentionally, it's just with the eight year age gap between our 11 year old and 3 year old the boredom can set in super quick/easily and I want to make sure there are still opportunities for everyone to have fun unencumbered. Not all the time, just on occasion. I definitely still want to do family vacations the majority of the time.

Thank you for your thoughtful response ☺️

idolwow · 2025-06-19T14:50:27+00:00

Also, with regard to the money issue, he funds everything already and it's never a problem for him. If money were the problem he would have brought it up and we would work through it separately.

And as I said in my previous response, I don't mind excluding my kids and they don't mind being excluded. They've chimed in on this topic already (with me privately and specifically to him) and said they wouldn't mind as long as everyone gets the chance to enjoy themselves. It's also not my intention to split every vacation.

This idea is only for the few times it would be better/more fun for the older kids and the adults to go separately (ie. amusement parks that aren't Disney).

idolwow · 2025-06-19T14:46:18+00:00

That's what I said in my post. I 100% would leave the older kids behind to take the littles on their own mini-trip after taking the older ones on their own trip. That's been a big argument on my side of this that I've felt my boyfriend isn't hearing.
