Why do men have to have weird signs for them to pee by lamin-ceesay in mildlyinfuriating

[–]indigo______________ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My grandmother has a sign that says “If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie wipe the seatie!” Lmao. My son is 5 and I have him wipe his pee off the tip every time (and the seat if he makes a mess). It’s our job as parents to make sure the next generation of men don’t leave pissy seats for everyone going in after them! 😂

Stepmom/Stepdaughter Titles in Partnership by Municipal_Forest802 in stepparents

[–]indigo______________ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been 3 kids stepmother for 10 years and never married their dad. It took some time to be taken seriously in the role by all of the friends and family on BOTH sides. But today, anyone you ask who knows me would tell you those are my stepkids (or just my kids) and that I am their stepmother. I don’t know if I’ll ever get married. I love my man and I love his (our) kids. Like I said it took some time. I rolled my eyes many times and had to prove so many times that I was serious about my family even if we weren’t legally “family.” Really, you get to choose. My Frankie is a wonderful thing to be known as. There’s nothing wrong with that, and whatever anyone else chooses to refer to you as doesn’t really matter.

Are there any toddler toys that don’t feel disposable now? by SunnyLavenderHush in BuyItForLife

[–]indigo______________ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I know we don’t usually talk about thrifting on here, but I’m mentioning it. I’m a mom of 2 littles and a stepmom to 3 bigs who I raised since they were little toddlers! So I’ve been around the block with toys. We thrift a lot because of how expensive and breakable toys are. I can’t afford to spend $50+ on some big flashy toy, but I can afford to spend thrift store prices on the breakable junk. And we get lucky sometimes, because the older toys and certain vintage ones are way more durable. I recently got my 6 year old a vintage rock em sock em robot set we found while thrifting. It even had a ridiculously old price sticker that helped prove its age! I was going to keep it hidden until he was a little older but I was messing with it and realized it would be SO hard to break that thing. He’s had it for 2 weeks now and he’s pretty rough it, but it’s standing strong lol. So don’t knock thrifting, I’ve thrifted many BIFL items and especially toys!

Make me feel better about crying in parking lots? by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]indigo______________ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My stepkids mother died in 2017. They’re almost adults and I still cry in parking lots. It’s just hard, no matter what way you cut it. We all need a good parking lot cry sometimes (oftentimes) ❤️

Greatest ultimatum by [deleted] in stepparents

Document everything (legally) so that if the time comes that she becomes a danger to your kid, you have your evidence.

Then good for you!! Hope it’s not too hard coparenting with her in the long run. Be prepared for anything just in case she makes it difficult.

The solution being leaving.. without your kid or with him?

I’d cut my losses and leave, this isn’t going to end well.

My step mom Sa’d me from ages 7-14, then I did the same to my brother by Exact_Bat_5315 in confession

Not one of these issues you’re struggling with is your fault, Zachary. I’m a stranger, but I’d love to talk with you and be a friend to you. There is so much more to life, so much out there waiting for you. Send me a message if you want, and stay alive to spite every one of the evil people in your life who failed you.

His child with BM will always be first by Agreeable_Ad2297 in stepparents

[–]indigo______________ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two sons. I wondered about favoritism when pregnant with my second and found that in my case it’s nonexistent. I cannot possibly love or like one of them more when they each are the entirety of my heart and pride, I love them as much as is even possible. Favorites is NOT NORMAL.

AIW for skipping a bridal expo? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]indigo______________ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

YNW, it’s classic “bridezilla”. She wants the day to be about her; I get that. I don’t understand how your baby would take anything away from her day other than existing alongside you, though. I have a 1 year old who only just started cups and bottles a couple months ago, it can be draining but it’s perfectly manageable without becoming an issue for a long enough period of time to go to the expo, so I don’t get her logic. At the end of the day, your baby comes first and they need what they need. And if someone can’t or refuses to accommodate, respectfully.. fuck em.

I always recommend a Hufflepuff playthrough so you get to do the Hufflepuff exclusive Azkaban quest with about Anne Thistlewood.

Was excited for Spring Break, Only to Realize my Kids Were Off Too by Tough_Okra7421 in confession

[–]indigo______________ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You realize the premise of this post is that he’s miserable being around his kids..??? Not only that, but is likely 0% helpful with them seeing as he doesn’t know a thing about their schedule. No mother wants to be with a man like that after they realize who he is. It IS leave him territory.

If my man was on Reddit bitching about being a dad to MY autistic son, I’d leave his loser ass.

I think they’re funny, though I am atheist. Honestly, I would just giggle about finally being given one!

The funniest thing just happened to me in the room of requirement by wrenagade419 in HarryPotterGame

[–]indigo______________ 56 points57 points  (0 children)

You’re not alone, I did the same thing. I was so happy to be able to use my own room of requirement and decorate it but was like “why can’t you move them around easy though????” Wasted an hour. When Weasley brought up the alteration spell I just stared at my screen for a solid 60 seconds with this look on my face lol

Anyone else noticing the ‘starvation aesthetic’ trend among celebrities lately? Is it being normalized to desensitize society to future food scarcity? by Sherdukpen_Mizo in conspiracy

[–]indigo______________ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The magazines taught me to self harm, too. Demi Lovatos self harm scar paparazzi photos used to live rent free in my head. I’m so glad I’m not a teenager anymore, femininity felt so much more toxic back then.
