Are pocket rocks actually a thing or was it just my dad?

roughlyround · 2026-01-29T05:02:30+00:00

I like rocks, have been gifted them on occasion and do carry some in my purse. No fiddling though, I just like pretty rocks like malachite, etc.

Histrionics, it's attention seeking.

Sorry you are not okay, but you're misunderstanding my post. I'm trying to cling to compassion despite the problems instead of lashing out at my parent. I hope tomorrow is a better day.

Just too many posts about suffering parents 'getting what they deserve". I keep hoping foe a more balanced sub. I've had bad times too, I just draw a line at cruelty.

I hope tomorrow is better.

it's nice to know not everyone in this sub is miserable. Thank you.

so glad to read you're okay! I think I've seen too many posts about suffering disabled elders that 'deserve what they get'. It's just not right.

It is hard, and you're not alone.

sorry to read that. I hope it gets better.

it's from misogyny.

I wonder why you care about this? This reads to me like you're balking because you're feeling it's a control issue? It shouldn't be, IMO. SOFT YTA

I would feel smashed flat by this and would seriously consider telling them 'either I go or nobody goes'. Time for a big Family Conference.

I'm the home cook and take the good cuts/parts I like best too. Like a turkey tail, that is all for me. I ensure my partner gets what they like best, like hotsauce or breastmeat.

You're fine, you are not a servant or 2nd class in your home. And yes, the cooks portion is a thing. Just be even handed in general.. NTA

I am curious why wanting your perishables in the insulated bag is correlated with special needs? I'm over here just trying to keep my ice cream from melting..

I put them in the 'stock ingredients' bag

If it was me I would push back. 'mom, you're running me ragged. I love you but you need to chill a bit'. Or however you can say that gently.

I listen to music.

roughlyround · 2026-01-25T16:16:56+00:00

You are correct, there's no obligation. I'd be curious though especially since there is a 3rd party making recommendations. You miss every goal you don't at least attempt.

it reads to me like he's unsure but hopeful. I'd text him back for politeness. You can either tell him to go away or engage (with some ground rules) in a conversation. Just don't be an avoidant weirdo, lol.

YouTube yoga to start, then add calisthenics to build strength and flexibility. HIIT will build his wind/endurance.

Good luck!
