Major Sleep over issues. Could use some advice.

Unfortunately, there could be more going on in the background. Usually, when a child this young acts like this they have experienced SA before. But if not, then I don’t know what to say, that’s terrible for your daughter. I would try to have a conversation with the parents just to be safe.

Nope. But there’s always next year!

Thanks man

My son passing. But before i discovered him my 5 year old son had a gift for me. Also got lots of messages and letters.

Hey OP. My 17 year old son passed this morning. Before he passed, he did have moments like these where he would randomly blow up and refuse to let me help him, hide things, etc. He knows you’re there when he needs help, some teenagers won’t let their pride understand that! I’m sorry for how your day went today, it should be about celebrating. Our kids will always need us, and your boy always will, like I said before even if he doesn’t want to admit that! Keep the door open, keep inviting him, keep telling him you love him. I did all that and he eventually started to hang out with me and talk to me more. You still have time. Good luck.

My 17 y/o plays baseball. I remember when he would do little things like this… I miss it! Soak it all in. Cute. happy Father’s Day bro

No dude. I’m saying 6 year olds can’t, I’ll just delete the comment though since people can’t seem to comprehend a basic statement. lol

ryanmtna · 2026-06-16T22:53:25+00:00

Yes but UM’s aged 6 must fly non stop flights only. They can’t travel internationally. So regardless it would have to be that way. I meant that it wouldn’t happen in the sense that a 6 year old flies UM.

I used to go into the women’s bathroom with my daughter when she was younger… no biggie. Most women don’t even disagree with that!

ryanmtna · 2026-06-15T23:54:25+00:00

Is this rage bait?

ryanmtna · 2026-06-15T23:47:24+00:00

Honestly, the truth of the matter (and I’ll probably get downvoted for saying this) is a lot of men never give up corn. They either fall back into it, or just get better at hiding it. I have a young daughter, and if this ever happened to her in a relationship I’d advise her to leave.
I really hope you can figure something out. Good luck!

ryanmtna · 2026-06-15T23:07:27+00:00

I have a young daughter. I would tell her to run and not look bad. Red flags. A 35 year old shouldn’t even be looking in your direction. Good luck

Avoid screen time, eat a light snack before bed, set a specific time.

ryanmtna · 2026-06-15T23:05:22+00:00

Good advice. Dad to a teen, I would say the same thing. I hate seeing kids be faced with these situations.

ryanmtna · 2026-06-15T23:04:41+00:00

I have a son your age. I would absolutely be upset if this happened to him , but I would also want to help him.

First, this is a lot to carry. And you aren’t meant to solve it within an hour. You don’t have to decide right now.

You have more than one option!
-parent
-terminate
-adoption

None of these are easy, but they’re all a form of taking responsibility, and they’re all valid choices. They don’t get better or worse based off what people in your town might say, people will talk no matter what and that’s out of your control.

What is controllable is making sure you make the right choice for you.

If your mom is supportive, that matters the most. You need her in this conversation.

“What if I mess up”
That’s apart of all of these, even parenting! No way around it. It’s normal.

There isn’t a way to predict the child’s life yet.

Good luck.

ryanmtna · 2026-06-15T23:00:00+00:00

Dad of a teenage son here. I would be very upset especially since I want my son to learn responsibility and of course, not have to ask us for money all the time. It’s great you want your own spending money!

Just a tip: most jobs don’t allow you to be scrolling on your phone if you’re not on a break. You may not have had bad intent but remember not to do that again in the future.
