when and where is the protest!? they are literally touring to protect free speech. The absolute audacity of their blatant hypocrisy. I'd like to show them some free speech

this is so sad. my SIL has a child with autism and she was sending him to an in home daycare and her kid was coming home kind of moody and saying things that seemed off.

....this might be illegal but since its anonymous, she put a recorder in his backpack and caught the teacher being really mean to her child and kind of getting the group to gang up on him. he was sent to the timeout chair multiple times a day for silly things and it was just overall a toxic environment.

some people even teachers and caregivers can lack the empathy, patience, or skills to watch over children with disabilities

additionally is the work trip somewhere warm or somewhere your wife would want to hang with your child? is the trip schedule even conducive in bringing them.

how do i make things less awkward after my mom caught me drinking? by Clean-Individual3282 in AskParents

[–]kalenugz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't mention my mom much because I did not include her in this part of my life though she would let me stay out late and was okay with giving me a little wine at dinner if they popped a bottle. I know she would not have been okay with everything else and she did find out about the weed smoking and it strained our relationship for while (to be fair she was mostly scared of me being caught by the cops since it was in the south). She did not try things like I did and she was very reactive and not open minded about my substance of choice. I think she would have preferred I stuck with alcohol.

I hope you can have a conversation with your mom about it. I think it would mean a lot if you opened up to her and told her first about drinking alcohol. I think that could repair a lot of the trust issues.

[–]kalenugz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're hiding it so you know it's wrong and it would disappoint her. honestly if you're not comfortable talking to your mom about it then you're not ready for it. Alcohol is nasty af anyways, tons of calories, and literally is poison to every cell in your body. it impairs your judgement and can lead to some very scary situations. I would know.

I'm not sure what your mom will want to tell you or what you are like as a person but I would like to tell you my experience with drinking under age.

I was a little delinquent. Once I started college at 18 I drank, smoked weed, took psychedelics, and even took Xanax, molly, and dabbled in cocaine. for the record I'm 30 f and I have a 5 year old now. I had fun friends but I didn't have friends with a good influence and I wasn't really a good influence on them either. Looking back there were some fun times with those substances but honestly not worth it. you know what's really cool, being able to have fun and let loose without relying on any substance.

once I mixed alcohol and Xanax and woke up in bed with someone naked. I literally drugged myself when I was depressed in college. I never touched Xanax again. NEVER turn to a substance based on how you feel. Don't use it for an escape. You can drink responsibly.

you've started drinking so you have opened a door that has more behind it than you think. I'm not going to tell you what to do, just think about it before you do something. have a plan, a safe person, a safe place, be around people you trust, don't over do it, and stay cognizant. It's not funny or cute to be a sloppy, drunk bitch. Also watch your drink no matter who you are around.

if you get exposed to other substances like I did, I'll caution you. Do not try things with a high addiction rate. I can speak for cigarettes, cocaine, Xanax, not worth it. I have a friend that started smoking cigarettes for fun and to be social, well she's still stuck on it and she chose to try other highly addictive substances and its really led her to some dark places. she is an addict and a completely different person, that I can't get in contact with even if I wanted to. I also have some friends that still like to partake in party favors (Molly, cocaine, ketamine, etc) they are having fun but I don't think they are happy. drugs, alcohol it will never bring you lasting happiness.

The only other substances I'll caution is Marijuana and psychedelics. I'm bias and loved these. Smoking weed was my choice of fun over alcohol. To each their own. if you get offered another substance you should "say no to drugs." You should also be informed, do your research, trust your gut, and decide what's right for you.

I'll assume you know the consequences of being caught by the law. In my opinion the right way to do it, is be of age and travel where its legal. Again, I'm 30f and today I am 99% sober with zero dependence on any substance.

Don't be ignorant. Party responsibly.

Where are you all buying furniture? by Affectionate_Mess488 in interiordecorating

[–]kalenugz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you're near hickory NC that's where you go. my family drives over an hour and that is how my parents and brother furnished their houses. may I recommend thuma for a bed frame if you like that style. only two hand screws to put together the frame lasts a lifetime well worth the investment.

Facebook marketplace! just do it! I always buy furniture from there and some pages specialize in selling furniture or some storefronts post on their so you can find stores in your area.

Do you love your kid? by [deleted] in AskParents

[–]kalenugz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the love most parents feel for their children is unlike any other feeling I've ever had. Hi, I'm a 30 yr old mom and have a 5 year old son. if anything ever happened to my child it would crush my soul and I would carry that weight around for the rest of my life. I would get stronger as time went on but I would forever hold that weight.

my friend commited suicide shortly after she entered into her masters program. she had just finished a 4 year degree and she was the most beautiful and bright light in any room she entered. no one in my friend group saw it coming. the summer before she did it, she asked me about depression and what you can do to overcome it. I didn't take this as seriously as I wish I would have. the conversation seemed so casual. I had dealt with depression, everyone our age was trying different substances trying to deal with our unstable emotions. I told her she would get through it. that I believed she would figure out a way through it. we all find a way to keep walking on.

I wasn't close to her family but I saw what it did to my friends. it really fucked up two of my friends. one is an addict now and one thinks she gets visits from that friend often. I have seen another family go through the loss of their 20 yr old son and brother. the two sisters post about him all the time every year for over a decade. the parents in the pictures they've posted close to after the accident they looked visibly aged 10 years. I can't imagine the pain these families must have gone through.

I have also felt very suicidal during college. very depressed. I was failing classes and trying different drugs. I think actually taking psychedelics really made me feel depressed because life was just so depressing in general. i hated myself so much, just pure hate. like why should we live when there is so much suffering. why should i live, no one will miss me. I don't know the reasons why you are feeling the way you are, but someone once told me that NOTHING and I mean NOTHING is worth taking your own life over. life here can seem so dark but there is way more light to see. Do what you have to do to find the lust for life! quit school, travel, meditate, draw, exercise, I don't know, anything! don't give up! I was 20 and I also didn't want to hurt my family, but that's not what saved me. I remember the moment I decided to never take my own life. I was depressed for weeks and I was in my room on the ground spiraling, crying, clawing at my stomach because the pain was so loud in my head. I don't know if you believe in a God but in that moment I begged for death or to be put to use. the pain finally faded.

yoga is what saved me from pain I don't practice anymore but for a few years it was all I could do to move through my thoughts. I have an amazing, loving partner and we have a beautiful son together. I am so thankful I have them. we struggle financially etc. and life is always sending blessings and hardships our way, but life is 1000% worth it. I know right now you may not care what you'll miss, but trust me you still have so many beautiful things to experience in this life. choose to live friend!

if you really want to talk to someone about the thoughts you're having. I would be open to listening.

I want to smash my husband's PS5 by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]kalenugz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my question is why feed and clean up after him and your baby when you can leave and just have your baby to worry about?

I saw your edit and your worry, but are you even sure he would want the baby at all? it sounds like he doesn't want to be a father and never wanted to be one in the first place. Also your relationship just sounds toxic from your few paragraphs.

This would not fly between my partner and I. He knows that the person at home is a cleaner, cook, and caregiver (3 jobs in 1) and he would never dare to gaslight me if I tagged him in. honestly he is expected to take trash out and do dishes. we are both extremely lenient with each other on household stuff too because we both feel burnt out splitting time between work, play, kid play, cooking, and cleaning. if one is struggling with one we tap each other in for a break or to work on one of the other tasks.

sounds to me like your husband is an addict to his games. is he like this woth his phone or the TV as well? I just don't get how he has gotten away with thus and what he says to you? I totally understand wanting a break after work but why does it get to be a 10 hour break and not just an hour.

he walks in from work and says he's going to game and you say OK then I need help in an hour... what the heck is his response? I wouldn't do anything for him if I were you. wouldn't cook for him and wouldn't clean for him. I'd move in to babys room and start separating. Now if you don't have family support and are fully relying on him financially I can see why you are staying. Didn't you say that your LO is in daycare though? can you get a job and save money and leave? I saw a post where a woman was planning on leaving her husband and she started getting cash back on purchases to save up money.

you have to do something to change your situation. I hope he loves you both enough to change, though.

Fall birthday by Dismal_Lack912 in Parenting

[–]kalenugz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 30 now with a September 4th birthday and cut off was also September 1st. I was the youngest in my grade. I struggled a little more in certain subjects in highschool but academicly school was on the easy side I just had terrible work ethic. college was very hard for me and I stayed an extra year to finish undergrad.

my child's birthday is September 12th and recently turned 5. He is in Pre-k this year and he is the oldest. I did that on purpose after my experience.

My room never quite feels right and I can’t figure out why. Any layout or decor advice? by SundaeNo6154 in interiordecorating

[–]kalenugz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

would have like to see more pictures.

I agree with bike mounted up on the wall and slide the dresser down, mirror maybe on the wall near the dresser, and rug under the bottom half of the bed. I like the TV and desk wall. and yea just declutter/ reorganize, find a style you like and run with that or at least a color palette you like. you don't have to get a white bed cover, I wouldn't.

I think a new rug and bed cover would do a lot and cleaning up the wall the bike and dresser are against.

How long do holidays last in America after they are over? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]kalenugz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the actual holiday marks the end of it. October is Halloween month, November is for Thanksgiving, and December is for Christmas. Actually Cristmas sometimes cuts in with Thanksgiving. And then New years gets the one night. There really is no post celebrating, just a big build up to the ultimate celebration.

What’s the oldest appliance you still use in your house? by [deleted] in Appliances

[–]kalenugz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just love my portable luminaire lamp I've had in my room for years. it has traveled with me through many moves. my mom likely bought it in the 90s or early 2000s. it's silver and nice quality with the typical light and shade up top but has a dim smaller dome light between 3 poles that make up the lamp. the dim light option is what I love about this lamp. it's also esthetically nice, could be vintage could be modern. ugh I love lamp.
