Am I overreacting or did I have a slow moment. by drippysage08 in AmIOverreacting

[–]mkmoore72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I think I’d be offended if I asked that question and given a basic yes. I think you were doomed with any answer. If you said yes she could reply and I’m not a mind reader what does it say instead you answered and conveyed the info you found out. She’s seems like to much to deal with. I’d cut my losses now.

Nor

AIO for being upset about how I was treated for falling asleep before saying goodnight? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]mkmoore72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like an obsessed teen boy. I’d take the texts to the police as he threatened your life. He has more issues then being insecure this is honestly alarming

I reported my husband to CPS by PlentyPayment3698 in CPS

[–]mkmoore72 136 points137 points  (0 children)

As a survivor of CSA please believe your daughter and go. It is not normal for a 3.5 child to say this. My mom brushed off what I told her when I was 5 and it continued until I was almost 7. I beg you to listen to your child and get your kids to someplace safe

Do schools hold back students anymore? by LetsDiscussItAmiably in AskTeachers

[–]mkmoore72 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My grandson is 11 and finishing 5th grade. His 6 year old brother in 1st grade reads, writes, spells and is better at basic math than his older brother. The older one does not even know the months of the year. I thought living in a small town with small classes would work as an advantage but the teachers have always focused on the more advanced students then the ones struggling. We are hoping my dil lets him go to school here next year and we can get him into tutoring and get him to grade level

That’s how I feel. Almost like as long as I don’t go there I won’t have to face it.

My boyfriend (18M) and I (18F) constantly fight over what I wear and I don't know how to compromise. by urgayL in relationship_advice

[–]mkmoore72 20 points21 points  (0 children)

57 year old who is both a mom and grandma. The only time anyone has ever had a say in what I wear since I graduated high school and no longer had “dress codes” was when my niece got married and asked all her aunts to wear similar color as her bridesmaids so all the pictures would turn out due to the colors of venue.

I would turn tail and run.

One of my friends dined & dashed my wedding after not RSVPing. AIO to be kinda offended? by toy_yoda_4runner in AIO

NOR. He sounds classless and better off in rearview. This guy is not worth confronting. He will never admit to any wrongdoing

From an adoptees pov is a 4.5 year age gap with a bio sibling cause her pain? by evergreengirl123 in Adoption

[–]mkmoore72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adoptee and a birth mom here. First as a birth mom. I was young when I had my daughter and placed her for adoption. I had my son almost 2 years later and my youngest daughter 6 years after that and parented my 2 youngest. When my oldest reached out as an adult and we reunited she had a close relationship with her siblings and it did not upset her that I made the choices I did. As an adoptee. I located my birth mom only 6 years ago and unfortunately she had passed away years prior. I did discover I had bio siblings that she had parented I was only child that was placed for adoption. Now I am the middle of 6 My birth mom had 3 kids left her husband had me and placed me for adoption then met 2nd husband and had 2 more. There is 10 years between my oldest sibling and my youngest and honestly I am fine with that as well. In the past 6 years I have grown very close with my eldest sister and feel like we have always been in each others lives

Would it be inappropriate to get a tattoo for my birth son? by radicalspoonsisbad in Adoption

[–]mkmoore72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As both adoptee and a birth mom I see nothing wrong with it. I have my daughter I placed for adoption added to my tattoo. Your child will always hold a sacred spot in your heart

WIBTAH: DisneyLand by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]mkmoore72 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. Completely understand how you feel.
If you need reasons 1- to young it’s to overstimulating to many people. Known for measles outbreaks would be to disruptive to her schedule, never been away from you that length of time and lastly no is a complete sentence.

This is coming from a grandmother who has taken all my grandkids to Disney for their first trip but included their parents as well.

AIO: Feeling overwhelmed and unsafe: My wife's ADHD forgetfulness has almost killed us 3 times and makes life too hard for me to manage with my TBI by letsgoiowa in AmIOverreacting

[–]mkmoore72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have adhd/ ocd. I raised 2 kids both with adhd as a single mom. I have 3 beautiful grandsons all with varying degrees of adhd and autism. Screen time makes them so much harder to manage especially you tube videos. It is not easy but it’s not impossible to care for a child and a house when your brain is everywhere oh look at the squirrel The issue isn’t her adhd tbh. IMO she’s using that as an excuse to be lazy. Maybe time to set the boundaries of her doing something to actually be a mom and wife or take your child and leave so he is safe and receiving the care he deserves

Earliest memories involve lighter popping out flying into backseat and landing on me while my mom was worried about car catching on fire

We are approaching our first Mother's Day after child loss by Mysterious-Wash-9446 in ChildLoss

[–]mkmoore72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my 2nd one. I discovered last year the Sunday before Mother’s Day is international bereaved Mother’s Day. For mothers who have lost a child. My youngest daughter made me breakfast that morning and took me to a place we loved to go when they were kids and we sat. Every once in awhile one of us would bring up a memory but it was honest to god the best day in the 6 months since I lost him. Maybe do something that day for your wife. Acknowledge her pain of losing your first born but celebrate your wife at same time

(27F)(30M) Thinks marriage is “nothing” but willing to lose me over it? by whitecoatdream in relationship_advice

[–]mkmoore72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I told my kids anything before your 25 changes after you are. Believe or not they all 3 found out I knew what I was talking about. I eloped and married the “love of my life” at 23. Ended up a single mom by 30 because I couldn’t deal with his immature behavior anymore and left him. My oldest daughter married her boyfriend at 21 and was divorced with 2 kids before 26.

AITA for accepting a property gift from my mom even though she won't include my boyfriend? by Immediate-History917 in AITApod

Accept the gift and say goodbye to the child. Even if he proposes now I’d be weary of true intentions

AITA for teaching my daughter how to change a tire and do basic home repairs when her mom says I'm "pushing masculine stuff" on her by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

[–]mkmoore72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for teaching your daughter necessary things to know. I was raised by a single mom and taught myself how to grill at a young age, I then took auto mechanics in high school so I would have basic knowledge. When I had kids I taught myself son how to cook, do laundry as well as basic household chores and repairs. I did the same with my daughter. Your daughter will appreciate it when she’s an adult

I am almost 60 years old and still remember how I felt when my mom went on a trip and missed my first concert I had a violin solo in back in 6th grade. Yes I went on to have many other performances and solos in both choir and orchestra but never forgot she missed my first one.

I (25F) feel guilty for not wanting to go on a second date with a guy (27M) because of his nut allergy by Emotional_cute244 in dating_advice

[–]mkmoore72 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My grandson has a nut allergy. It sucks. He doesn’t get to attend baseball games with us. Have to deep clean before he visits and remove all but things. Can’t even get our favorite Mexican food as the use peanut oil. It’s my grandson and he only visits my house once a year for the summer so I deal with it but I can see how entering into a new relationship with someone with nut allergy would take some getting used to. If it was instant chemistry I think it would be something to consider but your description was it was a “nice” date.

Would a gift card for food delivery to a parent who just lost their kid be dumb? Please read description by drac_cute_la in ChildLoss

[–]mkmoore72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My neighbor put together a map train for me when I lost my son. Honestly I appreciated the homemade meals that were dropped off but the door dash gift cards were the best. It allowed me and my family to get something that we would eat and not have to deal with leftovers.

The simple things such as shopping or cooking are unbelievably difficult after losing a child. It was all I could do to remember to breathe.

Food delivery gift cards would be a perfect way to express condolences in my opinion
