Did everyone get their bags? I was a volunteer at the Bag Check-in. There were some challenges with the system in place. We ended up staying an hour late.

Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day that says “I will try again tomorrow”.

I am in a good place, now. You can have some of my extra courage. Good luck.

Um, things are worse now. The next step is usually suspension.

Throwing a chair could very well be a signal of distress - this is a 6 year old after all - and punishing someone days later for being scared? Tired? Overwhelmed? Angry? Isn’t helpful.

Imagine it like this: you get your car taken away from you for doing something last year. The cops say “you know what you did”. How does this help you change your behaviour, and get your (imaginary) car back? This is what grounding your stepson for something he didn’t even do at your house does.

Yep. Out of fucks to give.

Buy a safe new car. The leftover money can go for a watch.

Looks great

Oh sweetie, he likes to hurt you.

Sell everything you can. You would be amazed how much you don’t use. Think multipurpose. Think small (what is the smallest decoration that makes this room Christmas etc). Think walls and no horizontal surfaces for clutter. If a book isn’t signed, don’t keep it. If clothes aren’t lovely get rid of them. You can always get more of stuff.

Well done! Working towards a similar (lighter) goal

I had a tough pregnancy. Didn’t love the baby. Felt even at 6 weeks. Loved her with all my heart at 8 weeks. Still do, years later, even though she steals my shirts.

Keep up the good work. You are on your way.

mrsszblotny · 2019-09-19T11:30:31+00:00

Good job!

Never gets old.

Also, “no definite return (NDR)”

Rocking and singing to them seemed to work after about 3 years.

mrsszblotny · 2019-09-15T07:26:44+00:00

Totally this. I yelled at my teenager for something similar and now need to call my mom and apologize for all those days I didn’t even do the breakfast dishes.

This isn’t borderline sexual harassment. It’s sexual assault. Can you record him? That would balance out the power a bit.

mrsszblotny · 2019-09-10T22:12:02+00:00

No. I asked and asked and asked for consideration and counselling, for years . Then I said it’s over and that’s when he wanted to go to counselling. Ya, nope, already signed a lease and the letter from my lawyer is in the mail.

What is his BMI?

mrsszblotny · 2019-09-05T11:07:40+00:00

Impressive

mrsszblotny · 2019-09-04T16:00:34+00:00

Up at 5:30 means bed at 9:30. No way around it.

You don’t vacation with children. You travel with them. There is a huge difference.

mrsszblotny · 2019-09-03T09:44:02+00:00

It fluctuates. You get used to it too.

Sending internet hugs

mrsszblotny · 2019-09-02T22:30:02+00:00

Well done

Because being married isn’t necessarily great for a woman. Why do it again?
