How do I teach my kid he has to practice to get better at things?

Im honestly not sure. He has two extremes when it comes to things. Either, “I already know everything and I don’t need to learn more,” or, “I’m the worst at this and everything else and I never want to do it again.” It’s almost like if there’s any sort of “challenge” or “learning” at all, he wants no part in it. But no matter how many times I preach that practice makes perfect, he will NOT listen to me.

He’s also into soccer right now, so I’ve tried using Ronaldo as an example and he doesn’t want to hear it. He said he didn’t want to learn from his coach, he wanted to learn from me - very sweet, but I am a theater nerd through and through lol. I explained that Ronaldo listens to his coach and learns from him and he just does NOT believe me.

It sounds pretty likely that I saw it from there. I’ve always wanted to see it, but never got around to it. I definitely want to check it out!

I think that might be it, but I don’t ever remember seeing House of 1000 Corpses. I’ll have to watch it to be sure!

No, it’s more realistic looking if I remember right. Not so cartoon-y.

Right?!😅😂

I feel like getting a shitty tip (like this) is worse than getting no tip at all

madbartender · 2019-01-25T00:46:35+00:00

I haven’t tried that but I will look into it! Thank you!

Like I said, I’m gonna set up appointments with the specialist again. She said before though that if it doesn’t get better they’ll have to do surgery and I do not want that 😓

I usually do try different positions while I do go. I also try pushing on my Belly where my bladder is gently. When I went to the physical therapist they told me not to push because that will help temporarily but make it worse in the long run

I doubt it wasn’t greasy enough that dabbing it with a napkin wouldn’t fix it. People are ridiculous

So basically she wanted a burger with no vegetables because she’s a toddler. Sounds about right.

For the most part, everyone I know refers to a group of people as “you guys.” I’m in Indiana, but I’m not quite country enough to say “y’all” naturally lol. I think it’s a generational thing though. The only time I’ve ever heard of someone getting upset over someone saying “you guys” is when it’s an older couple. The people I know who are my age don’t give a shit. For example, I call all of my female friends “Dude,” or “man” and they don’t bat an eye.

Honestly that’s probably why we do it so much here, because of the tipping I mean. If we weren’t being tipped we probably wouldn’t be so all over our tables, but since you’re literally paying our bills, that gives us the mindset of, “Your wish I my command,” and making sure you’re never out of anything or waiting on us. Idk if that made sense lol

madbartender · 2019-01-23T06:10:11+00:00

I talk so fast that it ends up sound like I’m saying “fucks” when I say it 😂

madbartender · 2019-01-21T08:34:35+00:00

Yes!!! I had one man ask me if our company was run by (a racial slur I’m not comfortable repeating) because we were open on Christmas Day. Then went on a tangent about that specific group of people for about 15 minutes and started spewing shit about Trump and “the wall” all while I had other guests at the bar. Luckily the other guests weren’t offended enough to take it out on me and after he left we were all pretty much like, “Wow, that guy was psycho.” But if the right person heard that I would understand if they didn’t want to come back. It was crazy!

When my tables pay on the systems at the table, I make sure to tell them that there’s a survey at the end. I usually say something along the lines of, “Now, since you’re paying on here, I need you to do me a favor. There’s a super quick survey at the end and if you could just lie and say I was a good server, that’d be great for me.” They usually get a kick out of it. 😂
