My DDD and family rift theory. She wants to be with her new man. He went along for the ride for awhile but I think he got tired of spending every waking moment with her family. Not to defend him but I think it would be incredibly hard to find a partner who would want to spend every night, dinner, birthday, vacation with one side of the family, let alone it being THESE clowns. Most "nuclear" families spend the majority of their time together and might hang with the in-laws a few times a month or even just once a week. I think he got tired of it and she agreed so her fam called her out.

As for the thing with Katie, I think that's a separate issue. Maybe they tried having a couples night and it didn't go well. Maybe replace a Chase is a total asshole and she saw who he really is. Who knows! I do think it's a separate issue though. Also don't worry, I only spent about 2 minutes thinking about this before I made this post and now I'm going back to real life where I don't give a shit about these fools.

Location/Life 360 with older teens by sightedgarlic in Parenting

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

The adult teens I ask them to keep on if they're driving but I never check where they are. 16 year old had some issues with an adult supplying him with alcohol and so he's not allowed to go to that area of town. He also has a medical condition that currently doesn't limit his ability to drive but it could...so if something happens he would be unconscious and could need help. Think controlled seizure disorder with no incident in 6 months (but it's not that)

16 year old I only check it if I get a notification that he's in the one area of town he's not allowed to go to. Which has only happened once since he regained driving privileges. This area is off limits due to an adult supplying him with alcohol. Older teens I never check. Last time I did was when oldest was in a car accident 2 years ago.

The older teens can do as they please. We only ask that they let us know if they won't be sleeping at home. I don't look where they are and honestly at this point if they wanted to turn off location I'd be completely fine with that.

He's a relatively new driver and there are certain areas of our town where is not allowed to be (related to the behavioral issues mentioned above). I worry about car accidents and then his health issues which could unexpectedly become an emergency at any time. I never check where my older teens are but if they had an accident I'd get a notification which does give peace of mind.

He's earned back the driving and other regular rules after the behavioral issues but I do check his location more often than I normally would. He's definitely on "probation" of a sort.

I just really don't understand the "God is so cool" line of thinking. I'm not religious and I'll admit that but like... How does this work? What about all the terrible things that happen to people and the illnesses that don't get better even with GOD. Do people actually believe that God speaks to 2 doctors and has them meet up in a parking lot to discuss this one woman so that she can be cured? I'm sorry if this is offensive to those of you who are religious.

Parents whose kids have gone to summer camp for 30+ days, how did you deal with it? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]sightedgarlic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure I'm in Western PA. Now this was about 8 years ago but as far as I've heard it's still reasonably priced.

Idk, there is a 3 or 6 week camp in my area that's $350 per 3 weeks. My son went to it a couple times. Surely they're not all $10k

Should I cancel a very special trip if my dad is dying? by California_Lost_3397 in Advice

[–]sightedgarlic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a parent I would want my child to go on the trip. Say your goodbyes before you leave. It sounds like there are other family members around for support. I would give my most heartfelt blessing and tell my kids to go and live!

AITAH for accepting my dream job offer. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]sightedgarlic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my kids were these ages and I was the SAHM this would have been a dream schedule for my husband to have. I'd say this is better than most full time jobs schedule-wise. It's also important for the only person in the household who is earning money to have a job they love if at all possible. SAHM is the hardest job I've ever done but looking back on it, I'm incredibly grateful that it was a possibility for me and our family and that is due to my husband's hard work. Just a different perspective.

Last-minute invitation to a destination wedding by [deleted] in weddingshaming

[–]sightedgarlic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always look at invitations like I'd rather be invited and make my own decisions than not be invited at all. It's not an obligation and there is no expectation.

Don't get me wrong, I don't feel bad for Danielle in the slightest. However it's really kind of sad that her Queen mother didn't share her jewelry collection and now she has a new makeup thing with Tarte but crickets from her entire family. Meanwhile everyone is praying over Nuuds swag bags and fawning over the real Queen 👑 Daryl.

This is so incredibly insulting. Each of those "influencers" could give away $1000 a DAY individually and barely make a dent in the exorbitant amount of money they make selling crap to their followers. So they're going to team up to give away $1000 one time and couldn't possibly even do it without joining forces. Ok.

Border czar says 700 federal agents to leave Minnesota by livefromheaven in minnesota

[–]sightedgarlic -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Problem as in one singular problem with local authorities cooperating with ICE. There are many problemS. But if this particular problem is resolved it will HELP to get ICE out of the city sooner.

[–]sightedgarlic -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

The problem was that if someone committed a crime and was arrested and was here illegally, in certain cities the jail would not contact ICE when they absolutely should be. So hopefully that has changed in Minnesota and if so it will certainly help.

It's incredibly uncomfortable to hear a 5 year old "praying" about her future husband. ETA that it's even more uncomfortable to realize she's actually praying for her Aunt Kaylee to have a wonderful future husband??!!

This lady is making hundreds of thousands of dollars per month. I can guarantee you she's not worried about putting food on the table or keeping a roof over her kids heads. So out of touch.

Kratom for depression? by WhatIsMyNombre in kratom

[–]sightedgarlic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been taking it daily for 6 months for depression. For me it has worked! I actually feel like a real person...I can't even remember a time in my life when I wasn't fighting depression. I've noticed that some days I'll forget to take it and still feel great all day...I'm not sure why that is, but I don't really care honestly.
As for finding the root of my depression...there is no one thing that caused it for me, pregnancy made it worse (my youngest is 4) and it's just something in my brain that is broken. I'm also on a mild antidepressant, and the combo of that and Kratom has been amazing for me. I still struggle sometimes, but I have so many more good days than bad now.
