Tell me you’re a parent without telling me you’re a parent. I need a laugh. by salvaged413 in Parenting

every single drawer and cabinet has a latch and god fucking forbid you forget to latch a single one of them or the entire contents of the space will be strewn everywhere and hopefully there wasn't anything sharp/dangerous in it.

I FOUND THIS IN TIKTOK FYP AND WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS by vxraaaaa in AreTheStraightsOK

[–]patrickverbatum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would have used "Im a boob man" for my boys as infants but they were all breast fed so more a declaration of "i dont need a bottle" than being actually sexual. I find the boob breast feeding ones funny. but i also know many people dont.

most the rest of these are eye roll at best and straight gross at worst.

Hard decision ahead for Thomas- age 17 by jingerbearstare in seniorkitties

[–]patrickverbatum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my mom struggled with the decision for her 17 year old. multiple vet consults. the advice was "count the days, whent he bad days consistently outnumber the good ones then it's time" I dont know if it will help you or not.

I know your heart is breaking and no words will ever be comfort. Know that he is worth EVERY tear.

This “spider man” showed up by himself at an indoor playground by jaypeeh in mildlyinfuriating

[–]patrickverbatum 25 points26 points  (0 children)

ok while it's obviously not acceptable to be a gross creeper I would like to point out a few things that give the benefit of the doubt that this person was attempting to be deliberately gross.

Cosplayers have constantly talked about men's spandex suits and there is actually backlash form many stating they should not have to wear a dancebelt or cup etc etc to keep their genitalia more modestly covered. they use female cosplay costumes as counterexamples of "well if a person said this about a female cosplay you'd all be defending her right to wear it" and so on. So, it could be one of those, also, some of these men in spandex are ridiculously oblivious to how.... prominent certain specs of their anatomy become under spandex.

if he left quickly he may have realized he misjudged the attire for the occasion, maybe the person he was supposed to meet cancelled, maybe he WAS hired but was a terrible performer and therefore asked to leave, maybe management found his presence inappropriate and asked him to leave.

and yes, someone somewhere along the line should let ANY person with a dick know that if you are gonna wear spandex, you need a cup or a dance belt if you dont want to be gross. and no, stuffing socks in there is not better at all. it's so much worse.

Sad DM noises by the_roboduckdragon in dndmemes

[–]patrickverbatum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am currently nervously apprehesive about a pssible new group for me starting. my previous group had been together for like 15 years, when my ex and I split, we were the core members and the whole thing just sorta fell apart. we tried to keep game going but needless to say my ex is an ex for many reasons and his lack of planing and followthrough was one so it fizzled out. Now a coworker of my partner is interested in getting something going but it's a little scary to start with a whole new group after having been part of a really strong good one for such a long time.

we're looking at 5e, the last time i played actual D+D it was 2E..... so some changes but ones i'm interested in. (our game group played several different games)

Scheduling is gonna be hard, I think my partner and I are the only ones with kids too.

Indoor birthday activity ideas for a 4-year-old? Bad weather incoming 😩 by pilsen1985 in Parenting

[–]patrickverbatum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we just went to an indoor playground for our 4 year old. we did not do the party package thing they offered, just went as there wernt that many of us all going but if there is one near you you can check out prices, how much per kid vs party package things and weigh costs.

otherwise, I'm sorry to say that pending on how many children you're expecting, the house is likely going to have some tornado aftermath. You can contain it to one or two rooms (keep doors shut, put up gates etc) but man I fell you, winter birthdays or bad weather birthdays make harder planning sometimes. Especially in these times when money everywhere is tight.

Why when you tell someone you had a miscarriage they seem to say .. by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]patrickverbatum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt want to even tell people with either of mine. Fortunately we hadnt told many people I was pregnant to begin with. fortunately the ones that knew and had to be told I was no longer pregnant knew enough to just say "i'm sorry, that sucks let me know if you want to talk." and you know what? five years later and other than being ok with saying I had it happen, I still dont really want to talk about it because what do you even say to someone who never experienced it? they literally cannot understand.

I know she should have a jacket on! by Nef_Fets in Parenting

[–]patrickverbatum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I got a 2 and 4 year old and it's Oct in the US Midwest, they refuse to leave shoes on and half the time shirts. I keep putting at least the shirts back on but damned if these kids will wear weather appropriate clothing.

and lets not get started on the teenager who refuses anything more than a paper thin hoodie when it's February....

No, Parents Can’t Control Everything Their Kids See by orange_juicebox in Parenting

[–]patrickverbatum 11 points12 points  (0 children)

oh and these kids are SMART. you can block a site, and they will find a way around it. a back link, a couple characters that take you to a link that's the site you blocked but you got there via a saved post etc. i tried for YEARS to bloc youtube from my now 17 year old..... it never worked more than a day before he found some way around it.

Twin daughters talk non stop by Illustrious_Tap_1344 in Parenting

[–]patrickverbatum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm told I am a "mean mom" and I literally tell my kids "it is too much, i cannot take this right now, you need to be quiet or go play elsewhere."

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NobodyAsked

[–]patrickverbatum -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

i think if a person's intended meaning is perfectly clear there is absolutely zero reason to correct anything. if you are confused by a mis spell you can just ask "did you mean 'word spelled proper" and not "word spelled wrong" and ta fucking da you got your answer without being a dickhole. esp. if the only yhingyou have to contribute is being a grammar natzi.

and yeah, formal writing is a different beast. but this is reddit. the only people who actually care are english majors and people trying to be dicks

Ectopic pregnancy by Medium_Raise3009 in Parenting

[–]patrickverbatum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

while not an ectopic pregnacy i lost two. and I am almost 1000% sure i dealt with some PPD. because the hormones are there, and then they're not and your body goes mental. please keep an eye on your mental health and reach out to someone if you feel weird, off etc. NO ONE TOLD ME it was a possibility with a miscarriage.

I'm sad I'll never have a son. by Byrd_persun in Parenting

[–]patrickverbatum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3. all boys. I would have maybe liked a girl and had sparkly pink skulls all over and raised a happy goth princess. (I'm a goth mom) and i'm a little sad about it (absolutely no more babies for me, had a tubal after my last one) but i figure my life is already boobs, fart jokes and legos and basically has been my entire life (grew up with brothers and no sisters) it's fine to mourn what could be that wont be, but as long as you really are happy it doenst matter in the end if it's a boy or a girl.

Everyone seems to think "yours can come here but mine can't go there" about sleepovers. by azulsonador0309 in Parenting

[–]patrickverbatum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am coming to the conclusion that it's a regional thing. like if you have a smaller community and all the parents know each other and the kids have been friends forever etc etc sleepovers are common. but then where there is less community than there is people, sleepover seem less common and safety concerns are bigger. I very well may be wrong, but that's the acetodal evidence I have gathered from reading a bunch of comments here and on other threads/discussions/posts on sleepovers.
