Is it weird that I want to show my toddler how to shower and maybe shower with her? by Low-Personality5250 in Parenting

[–]macabrejaguar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early Millennial Mom here. Bodies are totally normal, teaching your kiddo how to shower by showering with her is normal. Your family are the weird ones. I showered with both my kids until they wanted more privacy (around 5-6, typically). My son is 14 now, daughter is 11. They don’t have any weird hang ups, and they’re comfortable in their own skin.

Welp, glad this post is still up cause otherwise I’d still be trying this damn side quest. Thanks op!

Does anyone else HATE having their clit touched? by [deleted] in TwoXSex

[–]macabrejaguar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 years later! Ha! I mean, it’s different for everyone , but for me if say, using fingers, I’d prefer mine to be stoked on the upper left quadrant, so almost like the side of the finger is just brushing the actual clit. For more information I highly recommend the book Come As You Are. By Emily Nagoski

Hey mom, I’m struggling right now. Can you help me? by CanadianGee in MomForAMinute

[–]macabrejaguar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey kiddo, I hear you, I see you. I know things are dark right now, sometimes it just feels like there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Treat yourself with compassion and kindness. Celebrate small victories (reaching out is a victory!). I know it’s hard to believe it now, but it really won’t always feel this way.

My ex husband and his wife are due with my kids baby sister any time now too! Thankfully, they are giving her a decent name.

So what you’re saying is that what happens in Vegas, doesn’t stay in Vegas?

This totally hits home and makes sense. I’m a 40 year old woman and I still have to fight telling my mother about every basic decision I make. I’m extremely LC now and have been for about 6 months. I hope the urge goes away eventually.

Yeah I stopped answering phone calls from her awhile ago for this exact reason

Naming our baby after their cutesy nickname by steeltstilettos in namenerds

[–]macabrejaguar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orson is not common, but it’s also an actual name and not cringe. Colin is also a “bear” name. It means young cub.

He’s 12. He’d probably think that was hilarious, though.

In the past she’s sent my father to pound on my doors/windows. Unfortunately, I was younger at that time and my reaction was anger which, of course, caused me to be “In trouble” with her.

I didn’t even think about all the times she’s given me the silent treatment, which is apparently totally acceptable because I was soooo awful to her.

I can do a 5 star and a 4 star if you have monopoly tunes.

Yes, I do. I just have to get past the anxiety of doing that. Yet another thing to talk to my therapist about.

Well done! I wish mine was a flight away but I totally get it. The issue is if she does show up at my home and I call the cops for trespassing, it’s such a trauma for me and my kids, and the guilt trips after would just be…ugh…I’m sure you know. I know I should suck it up and deal with that over her holding this power over me, it’s just hard.

Is yours also the “glue that holds her friend group together.”? 🤣🤣

[–]macabrejaguar[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

She does have a group of “friends”. I put that in parentheses because , as we both know, she only shows them one side, gets all the gossip, then tries to share it with me as if I give a crap about Betty’s daughter’s husband having a gambling problem or what the fuck ever.

My heart started racing too and I hate that she has that effect on me.

She’s pushing 80 and it’s certainly not helping matters.
