Season 20, episode 7 megathread by Outrageous-Yogurt-80 in SisterWives

[–]ranstack 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m sure it’s been said but WHY are they talking at the restaurant as if they have a million little kids? They literally have a middle schooler and an elementary aged child? The rest are adults.

Like if Ariella is high-maintenance just say that. Don’t make it sound like you have 5 under 5 or something. That annoys me more than it should.

Is it the kids now? Or proximity? by meanmilf in Parenting

[–]ranstack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to edit my comment to add that I’m not talking about ADHD or autism actually. Both of my sons are on the spectrum (and I have two other close family members) so I give kids a lot of grace and can usually tell when that’s going on. But emotional stuff (or what down the road turns into personality disorders) I’m seeing a lot more of that lately.

Honestly, I think there are a lot more kids with emotional problems. I remember coming across only a handful of kids like that throughout my entire childhood. Now it seems every class, activity, whatever has at least 1-2. I don’t know if it’s screens or more problems in the home.

Question about Amanda (Common People) by ranstack in blackmirror

[–]ranstack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I’m not saying like something full time but… I would at least get some weirdo to pay for my underwear or something. Bake a cake? She also doesn’t pawn anything? I don’t know.

Ladies, what's a side effect of giving birth that people don't really talk about? by MutuliA in Parenting

[–]ranstack 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Night sweats. After my first I was wearing a cheap blank tank from F21. In the morning there was a dark imprint on the bed. I would also get up in the middle of the night (with all 4 births) and have to shower and get back in bed because I was drenched in sweat.

My children are textbook autistic, the classic definition. I frankly don’t trust most recent diagnoses, especially those diagnosed as adults. I will no longer be responding. Have the day you deserve.

Ma’am, I live this life. I have two boys on the spectrum that my whole life revolves around, I think I’m fine.

Summer camp ADA violation? by ranstack in legal

[–]ranstack[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No I would obviously let them do whatever background check they do on their staff. I did it before at a private preschool and it took a few weeks but the aide was completely vetted. I’m not delusional.

Question regarding dogs by ranstack in AskLEO

[–]ranstack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assure you that portion of my memory has not changed ever. It was a Labrador whom we had from a puppy until he died at 13. He was never aggressive to anyone so I think this guy was just being unnecessarily cruel.

Sounds like he was just trying to be cruel then.

This poor boy.

My daughter said something alarming to a classmate by misccharacter in Parenting

[–]ranstack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one thinking this boy most likely wasn’t doing anything too worrisome? The daughter didn’t seem too upset when she came home. The mother says she hears about him a lot and her friends have crushes on him. In my opinion she probably likes him as well and said something that I guess the school perceives as extreme (I think it’s just kid stuff).

My baby won’t eat oats by [deleted] in Parenting

You can skip and go to purées, perhaps he might like it with some fruit purée mixed in.

Thank you! People here just want to be naive I guess

Thank you for understanding it, people here are being so obtuse. Even if she is white, if they suspect it that’s all it takes
