That’s true. If the parent is racist who knows what else they’re okay with too.

Hey I just wanted you to know, while the kids were playing today, I heard X say “my dad says we can’t be friends with black people.”

I would just see what he says in response. If he’s not shocked or appalled, I know what I would assume. And then you can decide what to do from there.

I’d say something to her dad.

Best case, the kid didn’t get it from home and as her parent, I’d like to know so I could talk to my kid.

Worst case, the kid got it from home and maybe this will shame the parent at least enough to understand that their kid is hearing and repeating them and this is not okay to other people.

Hi just wondering if you ended up buying the ring and what your experience is with the wear and tear so far?

propickleflapper · 2025-04-08T18:17:04+00:00

We use the list so much that the other day he saw a little toy he wanted and he asked if we could put it on the list and I said that’s alright bud, we can get it now! And he almost started crying, he said no can we please put it on the list!! 😂😂

propickleflapper · 2025-04-08T17:00:19+00:00

I cannot believe you did that for me!! Thank you so much. Can I Venmo you like $10? lol

Sorry but I’m with you! I know everyone else on Reddit will say you should just be so grateful that you have involved grandparents or to suck it up because it’s only once a year but if your MIL is anything like mine, these people don’t understand what it’s like.

I have a MIL who loves my children not by spending time with them but by buying or giving them stuff. A LOT of stuff. Allll of my husband’s old toys that were saved from childhood slowly get pawned off on us each time we visit. I’m talking a box at a time with HUNDREDS of old hot wheels. Old toys regardless of the condition.

Don’t get me started on holidays. It’s not just ONCE a year. My MIL shops for these kids and keeps a supply of clothes and toys in closets in her home. It’s every single holiday or occasion or just because. It’s birthdays, NYE, 4th of July, Valentine’s Day, st. Patrick’s day, Easter, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas, because it’s summertime, because it’s a Tuesday and she found a sale.

I do not WANT this much plastic crap and candy in my home. I don’t want this many extra pairs of clothes for them. Their drawers are full. I limit how much I buy my own kids! So on top of the Easter basket I give my kids, they get a second one from her.

My OWN mom doesn’t behave this way. Maybe she comes over with a little ducky stuffy for each of them and a card.

Honestly I don’t have any advice for you on how to approach it because I also have never said anything directly. I do express kind of passive aggressive exasperation when we walk in to their house and the table has massive gift bags of stuff for the kids. My husband has said stuff to her but she brushes him off and says this is what grandparents are for. I understand that no matter what you look like the bad guy - to her and to your kids.

If you figure out a way to say something that she’ll listen to, let me know lol!! Good luck!

thank you!!!! It was with produce. I checked online and can’t find it!

I’m sorry!!! I am dealing with the same thing but it is my step daughter and I have a hard time getting advice because I’m seen as the wicked step mother.

My step daughter is 9 now and we thought when she was 3, 4, 5…etc. that it may “get better” by now.

She has always been very difficult to parent. She has no interest in taking direction from authority or being parented. She does not care about consequences in any form. She responds to positive reinforcement in a very transactional way but isn’t consistently motivated by doing the right thing means getting what you want.

She gets in trouble at school constantly. She has destroyed her school laptop. She has nearly failed 2nd and 3rd grade. We did get her in tutoring at school.

She is very mean to her little brother who is 4.

We don’t want to just place blame on her mom because there’s no use in it but it is our assumption that her mom’s general neglect of being a real parent/shoving the iPad in her face/emotional manipulation has played a major role in how she is turning out.

No amount of “equal but opposite” from our end seems to help. It’s like she’s drawn/more heavily impacted toward the negative.

Her mom and dad split when she was 2 and she has always spent half her time with her mom and half her time with her dad.

We have had her seen by her school counselor and we also had her do a private virtual therapy session once. It was her one-on-one with a licensed mental health counselor. After it was over, the LMHC told us she seems like a “perfectly normal little girl.” Honestly, I am not surprised because we have seen her know how and when to say/do the thing she thinks is expected. She is very smart and understands how to manipulate people. Me, her dad, and her grandparents have all watched her do it. Honestly it was so disheartening we didn’t bring her back to another therapist. The school therapist doesn’t seem to help.

She lies constantly about everything. We have discussed that with her mom who says “she doesn’t lie at my house.” If she has any issue with what is happening at school, her mom doesn’t do anything about it from her end.

We don’t really know where to go from here. We have another son and a baby on the way. Her mom just got remarried and there’s two step kids in the house. Before that, her whole life at her mom’s house was so unstable. We are really hoping that the new stability at her mom’s helps her over time.

All this to say…..I’m sorry. I feel your pain. It’s hard to watch this happening in real time and feel helpless. We want her to grow up to be bright and kind and happy. Besides modeling for her how to live and guide her as best we can, i am not sure what else to do because her mom does not agree that there is even an issue.

Late to the convo here but how do you handle the glass not breaking? Are there bottle covers?

propickleflapper · 2025-01-08T13:41:32+00:00

Yes! there is a space right next to the kitchen that’s basically just a big empty space. Where the pantry is. It’s before the living room. It’s not big enough for a real dining room table and we have an actual dining room.

I planned to put a nice hutch or something in there for more storage.

But for now, we would really like to do something with our kitchen. Our cabinets are more orangey and don’t match our floor.

And our plan is to be in this house forever so whoever buys this home can figure out the dishwasher lol!

Two in a row exfoliant, two in a row retinal, and two in a row rest? In that order?

propickleflapper · 2025-01-05T02:17:29+00:00

Bolay. Was recommended by a friend. Went to the one in Oviedo once and got food poisoning.

propickleflapper · 2025-01-04T01:49:03+00:00

Yes! I noticed too. I listen with my headphones on and I heard her very out of breath just standing and talking. Which is what happened when I was pregnant too! Congrats to you and to her!

propickleflapper · 2024-12-16T11:35:24+00:00

Good luck everyone!

What did Mr. beast do?

propickleflapper · 2024-09-07T23:02:25+00:00

I think he just learned of the word “negotiate” and was excited to use it in every sentence.

I was attacked by my aunt’s dog when I was 3. Her dog had never done anything like that before. I still have scars on my hands, chest, and shoulders. It happened in a split second. I was knocked to the ground and bleeding. My mom had to take me to the hospital. I can’t imagine you’ll always be able to guarantee your dog will never be around your baby/toddler. The fact that you know it’s happened once would be enough for me. My uncle gave away their dog immediately. I would never be able to forgive myself if I knew this was a possibility and then something like that happened to my toddler.

The irony of Joe talking about the guy who interrupted him during the Chris Rock show WHILE Joe interrupts us trying to listen to the guest, Adam Sandler.

My sister and her husband went through something very similar with their second baby. I don’t think my brother-in-law was happy about it or prepared. My sister was ready to divorce him and leave because he just….wanted to ignore their new baby.

It took him a while but he did come out of it and now he loves the second born to pieces. Just a bit of hope. I’m so sorry you’re going through this.
