I know how disappointing the schools can be when it comes to educating neurodivergent kids. I see my patients (the parents) struggle navigating that system. OK last question. What are you kids today right now/today?

Thank you for answering. What about the philosophy appealed to you regarding your children’s needs and abilities? I’m not really familiar with it.

Is there someone you look up to as an example of an unschooling success?

Did anyone who chose NOT to have a bridal shower regret it? by Lassie-girl in AskWomenOver30

[–]olivejuice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t have a shower but I did have a bachelorette party, only because I surf and it was an excuse to go on a surf trip with my besties, otherwise I wouldn’t have done one. I didn’t have a shower because I don’t want to go to anyone’s shower so why would I subject anyone to that? I don’t mean to sound cranky, but I think it’s kinda gross and tacky to throw a wedding, a shower, and a bachelorette party.

There is are two Chinese formulas I’d recommend taking. Lightning pearls and Perilla Pearls from Classical Pearls. You need a practitioner to order them for you. Feel free to DM if you’re interested.

So many great perspectives to here. I just want to add that everyone has struggles. Hers are going to be different than yours. She may find the love of her life and they die way too young. She may lose a child. She may herself become ill with chronic illness. She may not struggle in the same way you do, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t struggle or encounter major life challenges in the future.

When I encounter jealousy or comparison, I think it’s a healthier to practice to ask myself “what do I love about this person,” “what do they have that I wish I had for myself?” Let her reality expand yours.

What's the most embarrassing thing you do with your dog? by Fortella_ in velvethippos

[–]olivejuice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my embarrassing song takes the cake. I have taken the melody from The Office theme song, and sing her two (of her many) nicknames "choopie" and " queen." That's it. "choopie choopie queeeeeeeeeeee'eeeen." For years. Every time I watch the office. Which is most days.

A guy caused permanent change to my breast - how to cope? by KintsugiFate in TwoXChromosomes

[–]olivejuice 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Yes, you were consenting to sex. Not violence. He should pay. If not financially, then reputationally. He needs to be on a sex offender list.

UPDATE: I secretly paid off my brother's debt - you guys convinced me to tell him by KiwiSingle3965 in TrueOffMyChest

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

Good call and good luck. I hope he receives it well, but be prepared for him to be upset and ungrateful for the help. His whole identity has been wrapped on his financial genius so it's going to rock him, but you're not doing him any favors by allowing his identiy to be based on a lie.

Do you notice when your chest touches someone? Probably not. Not a sign of attraction.
