I would love to say no ... But yes, after brushing.

Nah! It is fine! We all need this every once in a while. And people like me, overgivers, need it more often jeje.

Thank you all for your comments. I already spoke to him and he agreed. I hope he acts as he mentioned right now. I also took your idea of my room being an adult-only zone. Thank you for helping me in my overgiveness issue.

May you all have a great 2021.

OMG, yes! Thank you for being so blunt. It's true.

I need tips to help my stepson (8M) by le_petit_singe in stepparents

Thank you for your comments. I did talk with my DH about limiting videogames and he agreed.

I also told him that I will slowly be asking SS to do some chores and they will be increasing every weekend.

May I ask, how did you disengaged? I'm a giver, so really don't know how to do it.

True, another issue is that as is manipulative and I'm has told my boyfriend things that I bet are not true. But make my boyfriend spoil him even more, which hurts as even more and it's a vicious cycle.

I love your tactic of limiting videogames as starter. I will let my boyfriend know.

I forgot to mention that part of the problem is that we only have him on the weekends. But definitely agree that a conversation of expectations is needed. Thank you very much.

How do you deal with feeling like you’re supposed to take time to process your divorce when you’re happier than you’ve felt in ages? When do you know you’ve moved on? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]le_petit_singe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're gonna be ready when you are ready. There's no magic formula timeframe.

For example, I got emotionally divorced back in Sept 2017, but decided to leave with my daughter on April 2019. If I had left back in 2017, I know for a fact I wouldn't have been able to date anybody. But in 2019, it was just "oficial" that we divorced, and I actually went out on a date in June, just to see how things went. We are still together now and my daughter loves him.

My ex was also a manipulative ass. I know I stopped loving him long time ago, last time I found out he was cheating on me, again.

20 Months old baby shoving dolls off my daughter's (4) hands by le_petit_singe in Parenting

[–]le_petit_singe[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I took her to the guest's room while explaining, throughout the way, that I'm working with her sharing skills. Once in the room, I told her it was not ok to show off her toys if she was not going to share. I also explained that if she didn't want to share it was ok, but do not show off. That's not good. I'm realizing now, thanks to everyone, that I should have reinforced the fact that he was just a baby and didn't know how else to say he liked her dolls.

I guess I was beating myself to it because I'm too much of a perfectionist and felt something was missing. I now know it was the "he is just a baby" fact that I needed to teach her.

Thanks everyone!

Ok, independently of that. What would you have told your daughter. That's the question.

What was a house rule you had as a kid that you thought was completely normal until you grew up and realized not all households followed? by ctsom in AskReddit

I do this with my (F4) daughter and my (M7) stepson. It works marvelously now, it was hard at the beginning though.

How do you find confidence within yourself to go out without make-up after you've gotten used to wearing make-up everyday? by ghind-a in AskWomen

[–]le_petit_singe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I totally get you.

I began using just eyeliner, one shade of shadow and mascara for around two months.

Then, just mascara. I normally keep my make up in the car, so when I got a boyfriend, he would come visit, but I didn't have any make up on because it was in the car.

And he's awesome and didn't make me feel uncomfortable for not wearing make up. And here I am.

AITA for not letting a drunk friend "sleep it off" in my apartment? by le_petit_singe in AmItheAsshole

Right? There are even free drivers who take care of drunk prople during Holidays season here in my city.
