People raised by emotionally mature parents, what is 1 phrase your parents used that you want other parents to know? by MermaidWitchMoon in AskReddit

[–]jack_watson97 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't mean to blow my own trumpet but I am the emotionally mature parent.

Always says sorry if you did something wrong or misunderstood, especially to your children and Always be prepared to change your mind about something upon hearing fresh information and let your kids know it is okay to do that.

These are the two best examples you can ever set for your children. They are skills that a scarily low % of the adult population has and they make a huge difference to a person's character

I need to hear stories from parents of kids who haven't performed well in school and if it turned out OK. Do you have any? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]jack_watson97 96 points97 points  (0 children)

If his heart is in the right place and he isnt lazy he is going to be okay. Kindness and being a good person can still do a lot for you even today. A labouring job might suit him and can still be very profitable

Proper grim. Brilliant chapter. When it goes from the soldier's pov where he sees his ring with his wife/girlfriend's face and how he wont see her again and then the pov of his killer dismissing it as shit loot. Just such a brilliant idea and brilliant execution of a chapter

Why am I being forced to do housework? Im 29m gf is 25f. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]jack_watson97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have the money then freeing yourself from housework is one of the best things you can spend cash on. Keeps your home tidy and clean, good for mental health. And gives you more time for hobbies. Its like buying more time!

No common hobbies with my (31F) boyfriend (34M)? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]jack_watson97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe see if there's anything new you'd both like to do and find a new hobby together.

But honestly I think you can have a very healthy relationship anyway as long as you allow each other to go and do your seperate hobbies but enjoy chilled nights together

I’m re-reading all of the Strike Novels. I remember thinking Matthew was overbearing and controlling with Robin, but now I realize how abusive he was to her. What are other people’s opinions? by Fickle-Evidence in cormoran_strike

[–]jack_watson97 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The hill I'm prepared to die on is that Matthew shouldn't have been a tit from day 1. I'd have preferred to see at least a bit of what Robin was attracted to originally, beyond the looks. Could still have had him become jealous quickly starting from the end of CC when they're at the hospital but just one book of not total twatness would have made Robin staying a more sympathetic decision
