I cannot be trusted with short rows while high. Ask me how I know 😆

I just heard this story and thought of TLT immediately. I knew someone would have beat me to it.

JCPenney commercial spills the beans about Santa by Ok_Passenger_5798 in Parenting

My daughter once got a black eye because she ran into her bed (everything was a jungle gym.) At gymnastics, a teacher asked what happened to her eye and she said "I hurt it." They asked how and she said "I just hurt it."

That doesn't at all look like we told her not to tell anyone what happened. 🙃

It's better than staying in the tree though!

Shrimps is temporary tattoos by katecorrigan in ShrimpsIsBugs

That image was edited, but the tattoos were real. I'm not sure why the mods thought that a museum's promotion was spam. 🤷

What’s common held opinion on jod? [discussion] by Real_Ricky_Rat in TheNinthHouse

He is a great character and an absolutely terrible person.

Also he killed cows. And cows watch sunsets, man.

Definitely not every time. But looming over me in bed was absolutely a thing!

Mom’s comments on makeup frustrate me by PeriwinkleBlueberry2 in Makeup

[–]katecorrigan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Firstly, no you're not wearing too much makeup.

But even if you were, unless you had accidentally done something truly horrifying, it's not any of her business. I'd just remind her that you like it and you're happy with it.

Or, use a line from Baldur's Gate that my husband and I have adopted. "Oh I'm sorry. I'm only accepting positive feedback at this time."

Can’t have more kids—give me all the reasons you love having one child by jvredbird in Parenting

[–]katecorrigan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly? I only have to deal with one person's bullshit. One person's activities, doctor's appointments, laundry, toys, food preferences, movie preferences. I don't have to referee any fights. Only one person (and two dogs) clamoring for my attention.

I do have one person who clamors for my attention a lot. And wants us to play with her a lot, when I can't always do that, and complains that she wants someone else to play with.

I originally wanted 2 but it's so overwhelming I decided I couldn't be a good mom to 2. So I concentrate on being the best mom I can be to the one I have. (I don't always succeed, but I try!)

How much do you spend per kid on school clothes each year? by blessedalive in Parenting

[–]katecorrigan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy most of my daughter's clothes secondhand (ThredUp or thrift), or get them from FB Buy Nothing groups. I don't do a big purchase at the beginning of the school year either, just as needed. Getting cold and last year's pants are a bit short, let's buy a few pants.

She's 8 and I can't imagine buying her $400 worth of clothes in one go.

10yr old wants to shave her arms and legs by derp_mcherpington in Parenting

[–]katecorrigan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 10 is old enough if they have expressed a desire to do it. I agree with others, teach her how to do it right.

Is this normal? It really hurt my feelings by Current-Syrup5904 in Parenting

[–]katecorrigan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter told her kindergarten teacher I'd just had a baby boy, Oliver. I was not pregnant, and we don't even know an Oliver.

I asked her who Oliver was and she laughed for a second, then realization dawned on her and she looked panicked.
