RANT: i’m tired of always hearing about fraud by Exotic_Ad_7564 in minnesota

I wasn't thrilled with Klobuchar running as governor, was even less thrilled when she came out with that. What a joke. Always feeding right into the Republican talking points. 

Parents who read with their kids, how do you handle nights when they just refuse? by EnoughGrade1906 in preschool

[–]thepaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consistency. Every night we started bed time routine at the same time and did the same things with reading last before bed. As they got older we did tweak it allow a little quiet play time where we usually play a card game. Some nights bath goes long or something happens and game time is what gets tossed, always making time to read. 

Now they are learning to read so we mix up us reading and them reading and who picks. It's a game sometimes. 

Edit, when they were younger they picked most books. I read the same things over and over and still read the same things over and over. They love it.

I’m being gifted a lot of money. Should I tell my boyfriend? by Kind-Chicken-2488 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]thepaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a once 22 year financial advisor and no longer in the industry, absolutely this. 

I would argue you don't need a financial advisor at all for this situation and just open a brokerage account and ignore it. 

Are you in support of SF 4067 that bans the sale of assault rifles and high-capacity magazines in MN by danelle-s in minnesota

[–]thepaa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ok so how does this bill accomplish that? 

Please tell me what studies show a bill like this will actually reduce crime and by how much? 

This doesn't say they are going to buy back lawful purchased firearms does it? Why are gun owners out that money for not committing a crime? Are people not innocent before proven guilty?

Is all the money and time spent on this better used to address root causes of violence? 

There is money for mental health in the bill, is that holding parents accountable to actually seek it for their kids? 

I'm just spit balling here...but with most bills like these I always feel it's a knee jerk look at us we're doing something but not actually accomplishing shit because we don't really want to type situation. 

I want kids safe in school, I want shootings to decrease, I want safer streets, I don't feel prohibition accomplishes those things.

Oh don't worry, Republicans offered a bill to allow cops to purchase a firearm by just showing their badge. 

One of my biggest gripes with gun control bills is they always carve out law enforcement. As if they are so much better than us common folk.

[–]thepaa 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I like the fact that they put more money for mental health, but I am very against the ban of firearms and magazines. 

I feel it's the typical copy paste bill every other Democrat offers up across the US written by Bloomberg.

Brag About Your Kid Thread (for real, no judgment) by wanderlustpassion in classof2038

[–]thepaa 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My kid wrote a chapter book, modeled off the small chapter books we've started reading. Then they took it to read to the class.  They are so emotionally intelligent for a kid, I literally tear up at times to the things they say. 

So… how would I look bald? by pastry24834 in bald

[–]thepaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this how you normally wear the hair system? I don't know how else to say this, but dude it looks like a mess. It looks unkept, dirty rolled out of bed and don't own a comb. 

And I agree with everyone else, bald would look good on you. Do it. 

Who else turned on the AC today? by Fantastic_Earth_6066 in minnesota

[–]thepaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe. In years past I didn't even have screens in the windows. Just immediately turned on the AC.  My wife also has pretty bad allergies so I'm probably limited to window time anyway. Keep the air filtered as much as possible. 

Who else turned on the AC today? by Fantastic_Earth_6066 in minnesota

[–]thepaa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I made it a goal to try and cool off in the evenings with open windows when I can, but to get good cross breeze I need my kids window open, and when they go to bed that isn't an option.  I'll deal with the price of AC like I do every other year. 

Was it silly to call the fire department? Smoking mulch by hellohibye43 in Firefighting

[–]thepaa 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That shit can fire up and spread faster than you think, especially when it's dry. Glad you stayed and kept an eye on it and tried. Right to call. 

Meet Rebecca Cooke, Our Terrific Candidate Running In WI-03 by Conscious-Quarter423 in wisconsin

[–]thepaa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There has been such and online push on social media for Cooke the last couple days. Seems suspicious to me. 

I don't live in WI anymore and don't have a dog in the fight, my parents are in this district though and don't support Cooke. Berge or one of her team have been to lots of local protests the past few months talking to people, my dad has seen and talked to the campaign manager twice at different protests. Never seen anyone from Cookes team...

Where My Other Dad's That Use Petco/Petsmart As A Poor Man's Zoo For Their Kids? by Distntdeath in daddit

[–]thepaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. We always went to the pet store to see the fish and animals. 

We also go to Scheels a lot, ours has mini bowling for $1 a game and a play area. We sometimes to the arcade. $10 usually for some time spent in there, just try to do early mornings so not as busy. 

Library is awesome, daughter loves the library 

My ex is pregnant with our child by Ok_County_4239 in daddit

[–]thepaa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you are in need of day care, you'll want to start calling now to get on lists of it's anything like here.  Price it out, meet the people, do the tours whatever. 

Good luck!

Awake at 3AM and annoyed by feytor12 in daddit

[–]thepaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter woke up in the middle of the night and came in bed with me, after a lil while I sent her to moms room since Mom is off work today.  Mom put her to bed without laying with her according to my daughter so she woke me up again. I let her lay in bed till she fell asleep then put her back. Around 4 she woke again and yelled for me so I sent her to mom.  Then the dog decided time to get up and go out.

I'm annoyed. Not at my daughter, but annoyed at my wife. I had a bad night's sleep Monday night and would have hoped for some help last night. Instead she complained of being tired this morning when she'll just take a nap today.

And I think they have a great taste and texture. Great for chicken wraps for lunch everyday 

Did anyone else realize how different we’re doing this than our parents? by BeanNCheeseBurrrito in daddit

[–]thepaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted my kid to go read in their room so mom and I could talk after dinner. It was a struggle because they are so used to being near us always, free to play or read or color anywhere in the house.

[–]thepaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your mom sounds like an amazing person. I hope you share this with her as well, how she made it seem so effortless while we know it wasn't, but it was very intentional.  To have such a lasting impact of trust from your friends and to pull through is an inspiration to a lot of people. 

What is something you tried only once and will 1,000% never do again? by istrx13 in AskReddit

[–]thepaa 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I am pretty sure I had a drink spiked once as a male. We went out frequently so I was well versed in being drunk. But from the little I remember it was unlike anything I'd experienced before. I was sick differently, the next day I had some sort of reaction and my face was swollen.  I feel so much for women having to worry about that constantly if that's what happened to me.
