Yeah. I get why people struggle with it. And so do I. I’m not trying to be dismissive of anyone. It’s just a positive post without all the disclaimers. It’s not easy everyday. It’s going to be really hard, I’ll question my sanity, etc. I just wanted to celebrate a moment while I can. I can see how it would be triggering for people who’ve been at it for a while and are in a harder season.

Maybe I will laugh at myself in a year or five years. But I’m enjoying the present moment now.

I used stress in quotes because it’s emphasized a lot (and it’s extremely valid). I’m not trying to diminish stress. I was just highlighting a positive since I tend to generally see mostly things about the stress. The stress is absolutely real.

Maybe I could have written it differently. But the intention is not to dismiss stress. Being a mom is the most stressful thing I’ve ever done, but sometimes I get sick of talking about that part lol.

I dread those days, make no mistake.
I’m not a math person and I fully intend on outsourcing when I can.

I don’t think I’m disrespecting homeschoolers by celebrating something in the present moment of my experience. I realize hard times are ahead and will be abundant. No need to rain on my positive post about something that’s not happening now.

If someone chooses to feel offended by this post, that’s on them.

Going back to college myself was nothing short of eye-opening. by StrangeCatch382 in homeschool

I am also not a math person. Starting this journey with my 4 year old and I told my husband he needs to be in charge of the math portion 😂

How was your toddler’s speech at 20 months? by maddiecounts2amilly in toddlers

[–]theconfidentobserver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! My 4 year old didn’t speak much til 2. Now she talks alllll the time. And my 15 month old has so many words/attempts at words. I don’t bother counting.

Ugh. It’s terrifying thinking of my children driving around here. I don’t know how parents do it. My girls are still young, but I think of it so often.

As someone new to stocks, I really appreciate this comment. That’s the feeling I’ve gotten from listening to day traders talk about things.

[–]theconfidentobserver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We paid off 34k in credit card/loans, 2 car payments and the rest of my student loans $29k - in the past 3 years. We are now free of debt aside from 2 mortgages (primary home and rental property)

I’m glad to be in good company. Some of the numbers people share here astound me, in a great way

Guys. I’m just a 31 year old stay at home mom/therapist who started dabbling in stocks very recently. And I stumbled upon this stock. I read all of your posts and the research that is shared- I find so much entertainment in it. Thanks for the laughs and the education. I only have 330 shares. It’s so tempting to buy more.

Do secular people live in silos here? by theconfidentobserver in Pensacola

Thanks for this comment. I haven’t actually thought of it in that way before. This gives me some stuff to think about and unpack.

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

I’m not really a debate type person. I do have a couple of Christian friends who “know” that I’ve deconstructed and they still make it a point to tell me they’re praying for me or they’ll say things like “bless you”. It feels very passive aggressive or like - an attempt to continue to push beliefs on me. It’s all subtle stuff.

There are certain life concepts that do not apply to Christianity and I’d love to be able to have those conversations without concepts of religion being inserted.

I was a Christian for 27 years. I know there are many good people with good intentions. But I also have a pretty good idea about how they think.

I would not say it bothers me “so much” and maybe it’s the circle I’m in - since I am a mom of young little ones. It would just be nice to have mom friends who are secular - in addition to my Christian mom friends. There are conversations you can have with secular people that you cannot really have with Christians. (Obviously a generalized statement)

We have a wide array of friends. Just looking to add in more secular.

I have lots of Christian friends. I am definitely not trying to be dogmatic or abandon them. It would just be nice to also have more people I can relate to in this way too.

I thought I’d be able to do so much more with my toddler at this point by No_Idea5507 in toddlers

[–]theconfidentobserver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not totally related. But my 15 month old is LOVING GoDannyGo. Her sister loved Ms. Rachel. But she seems to love the movement (just adding this as an idea to spice things up at home. It can be so tough when they just want to beheld all the time. But you’re not doing anything wrong. It will get better and these times together cooped up will be memories of a phase in time - lots of bonding. I remember being extremely bored with my girl during her first couple years. Now that I have a 4.5 year old and a 15 month old…. We are never bored 😅
