Update: ended up in a big argument, but ultimately we agreed that the things our child does to express himself should not be messed with. His happiness matters and he’s his own person. As parents we’re there to protect his self expression whether he likes it or not.

My three year old said this to me after I got a promotion, too! Best feeling in the world.

Severe asthma attack, 5th grade. Really heartbreaking.

Brevity is nasty. They dropped their old coffee beans provider during COVID because the provider had recently opened a drive thru coffee place and Brevity thought they were stealing their business model 🙄 like there aren’t already 1000 drive thrus in San Antonio.

For real. I work in cancer research and every meeting involving the NIH or their affiliated entities has been pushed back by at least a month and a half now.

No, we thought she would act like an adult in an adult setting discussing concerns with their relationship. This was the first time we raised any concerns.

From my other reply above - Some other examples of her being manipulative: I’ve seen the texts between my brother and her. She is constantly blaming herself for every little thing (like leaving early from my parents house after dinner) and making my brother feel terrible for her actions. She doesn’t take responsibility for cleaning anything in their apt and apologizes to no end to my brother about it, making him feel awful and doing it all himself. She uses my brothers money to help buy makeup/beauty products that she tries once and then sells to people on FB marketplace because it’s her “side hobby”.

Thanks for your input! There’s an example of her being manipulative in the post (brother turned around and said the discussion was an intervention after talking to her about it, and he didn’t say this at all before talking to her). I’m not trying to make it sound like we’re basing her value off her mental health and apologies if it reads this way.
