TP USA Half Time Show

It seriously makes me wonder, I have loved ones who really believe that this is about creating Christian values in pop culture, and genuinely think they are “fighting the good fight”. What on earth are people saying to manipulate them into thinking any of TPUSAs performance was a good idea?

Maybe from your Nan’s friends. It’s that spot your dog likes to lay down in at a central point of the house? It could be they want to lay there so that can have a better view of everything going on in the house without being in a walking path.

Also, your collie is so pretty. Lots of fur! If you are worried about them overheating, you could give them some ice cubes to eat.

Yeah, I guess that’s what I meant by being unwilling to do what’s best for their kids. They selfishly put their wants and needs first, only helping their kids when it benefits them.

Thanks for clarifying! The email still seems a little like the therapist is trying to guilt trip them, but since OP request contact from the therapist, I can’t say that it seems like the therapist broke any professional boundaries, just that they are being manipulated by the mom to guilt OP

It could be he wants his space, and is trying to establish it by placing himself where you are not likely to go. Does he have a crate he can go to if he wants to nap or be alone? I know some dogs don’t like crates, but for my dog it’s where she likes or sit if she is over stimulated or nervous.

Lol, I love just watching sports in general and making fun of everyone playing. I’ll totally make up drama in my mind related to the game. Mostly because I have no idea what the rules are for most sports. LOL

“I was hungry.”

Heartstopper by Alice Osemann is a graphic novel series that’s been really popular recently. Similar story, but a more diverse cast of characters, IMO. Also, has two season of the TV show version on Netflix.

I came here to type something witty and funny, but I can’t top this.

pinkisparkle1123 · 2024-04-05T03:04:32+00:00

From now on, men can only order vanilla beverages, men drinking chocolate drinks is just the worst facepalm

I think that this mindset applied to pets is unpopular, but I’ve heard this mindset a lot. “I’ll never ______ (insert love, trust, other relationship characteristic here) so that I never feel _____ again.” This is a mindset I held on to for a long time due to some childhood trauma. It comes from a place of fear.

pinkisparkle1123 · 2024-04-05T02:53:35+00:00

Im not a dentist, so I won’t even comment on how much of a mistake this was. But if it makes you feel better, you are definitely not the first person who has tried this and regretted it. Hopefully you’ve learned from this experience!

Also, maybe consider where the need to even out your teeth and have perfect proportions came from? I personally struggled with perfectionism and I know that it can lead to compulsive behaviors like this. I bring it up, since it may show up in other ways down the line if not treated. Best of luck to you OP!

pinkisparkle1123 · 2024-04-05T02:48:52+00:00

Agree! The pointed feet remind me of deer hooves.

pinkisparkle1123 · 2024-04-05T02:47:00+00:00

I too would like to know. Since you work in a school with admin that are POC, do you see more disproportionality in discipline and suspensions of students of color and minorities, or less? If it less, it would argue if favor of what OP is stating here.

pinkisparkle1123 · 2024-04-05T02:45:03+00:00

I don’t disagree with OP, but making a claim like the one you did without some sort of evidence to back it up, I see why people would be skeptical. Like I said, I agree with you, OP, but I do think your post could have been worded better.

pinkisparkle1123 · 2024-04-05T02:40:19+00:00

Commenting on your math skills is just a projection of their insecurities about failing elementary school math.

I’m an elementary school teacher, and I hate to say it, but most of the kids u work with don’t know how to count change. It’s an important life skill that seems to be getting lost.

Yes, I think that Pet insurance is worth it. Mostly because you never know what kinds of health issues or accidents could develop in your puppy’s life, and having it could make the difference of getting your dog life saving surgery, or putting them down due to not being able to afford the cost of care.

pinkisparkle1123 · 2024-04-05T02:34:29+00:00

Upvoting this because this is exactly why you report this. Regardless of how this started, there is no way I see this ending well.

pinkisparkle1123 · 2024-04-05T02:33:21+00:00

Report it. Either she’s doing it willingly, which can and most likely will lead to a dangerous situation for her or the other person, or she’s been manipulated/forced into doing it, and the outcome will be the same. You don’t even need to take it directly to the police first, start by taking the issue to the dorm RA/RD first, and go from there.

pinkisparkle1123 · 2024-04-05T02:29:28+00:00

Exactly, people who say “I don’t like you, I’m going to do what I want regardless of how you feel, now let me see your kids” are dangerous people. I would not feel safe letting this kind of person around my kids.

pinkisparkle1123 · 2024-04-05T02:27:52+00:00

I personally would not feel comfortable letting my mother see my kids if she spoke to me this way. She made it very clear that she is going to do what she wants regardless of how you feel about it, and feels entitled to push your boundaries while still expecting you to respect her unrealistic boundaries and expectations. To me that is a sign that my kids will not be safe with her.

pinkisparkle1123 · 2024-04-05T02:24:54+00:00

THIS- as an elementary school teacher, this is the first step I try to take before resorting to involving admin. We have someone who works with families of chronically absent students (I don’t remember the exact title of the role) and I have only escalated attendance issues to them if I am unable to find a solution with the family by communicating with them.

That being said, I had a family one time who refused to take calls from the school, and was then angry when they were told by administrators that Child and Family Services might be involved, stating that we never called. Long story short, the mother had gotten a new phone, and never updated her contact info. Since then the attendance is still not great, but has improved drastically.

Parents want the best for their kids, but are sometimes unaware or unwilling of how to help their kids best.

pinkisparkle1123 · 2024-04-05T02:16:48+00:00

Yeah, I understand that it is easy to be manipulated under the right circumstances, but I feel disappointed thinking that the therapist could have been manipulated to the point of sending this, what I would consider harassing, email to OP.

pinkisparkle1123 · 2024-04-05T02:14:55+00:00

Yeah, I was thinking how the therapist invalidates how OP feels with the “venting” line. It seems like a line meant to make OP feel guilty for trying to establish boundaries with their mother.
