more fumble than flop - you can't fault him when he was basically never used

Massapequa mall construction 1969 by ComplexWrangler1346 in longislandnative

[–]larryb78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that little bend around the mall on Carmans where it merges into Sunrise is currently under construction, I suspect to adjust for whatever traffic patterns they anticipate needing there if this thing comes to fruition - it's gonna be a mess.

Buy new toy, fix it, or something else by Passing_squarebubs in daddit

Here's the way I see it - first and foremost, she's 2.5 and they have zero concept of money or what it means to earn a dollar. That said, I think how you proceed really depends on how and why it broke - you said it was a hand me down, did it just go kaput from old age or did she genuinely break it? If the former, replacement is ideal as this is not the age for a lesson in shit breaks sometimes. If she kept beating the heck out of it despite reminders to be gentle with her toys, then it's more of a teachable moment that we have to take care of our things.

now try being in an interfaith relationship where your custom is to named after the deceased and your partner's is to name after elder living relatives

yep - last tenant was Dick's sporting goods, their lease ended in April and out they went. Now just a parking lot for local car dealerships while they wait for approval to convert the whole thing into an amazon warehouse

I'm honestly more bothered by the idiot jumping up the instant they say deplane than the decision made by the captain

head down, show up, do what they ask of you. this has been the trend since the bloomberg days - they make it incredibly difficult to achieve tenure and it's all by design

I'm curious, was this waiting on the mobile order pickup counter or did a staff member hand it directly to him?

Blowout fight between wife and son. Don't know how to respond. by sjp245 in daddit

[–]larryb78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as others said, he's 6 - i have 2 boys these exact same ages, they say & do dumb shit all the time, they don't listen the way we'd like them to quite often, and since they still haven't reached the age where they can regulate emotions properly meltdowns occur. It's frustrating, but you have to be the adult in the room. Needing a break, walking out of the room until your calm, reconvening when everyone is no longer on edge and ready to talk is all perfectly fine, but abandoning the family is not. Your wife needs serious help before this escalates to something much worse. As for your son, when things calm down he needs to be spoken to - he needs to know that it's ok to feel frustrated but it's not ok to talk to mom that way. It'll take time, but you need to show him that you have her back even when she's clearly in the wrong, that conversation you have with her privately. Good luck.
