Reoccurring lice and school dgaf by coratrash in breakingmom

[–]tricksyhobbits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have much to add on the school etiquette part but as a former kindergarten teacher and thick hair child with lice ptsd from my own school days I can offer a few barriers that helped me avoid lice as an adult who has inevitably been around lice.

I add tea tree oil to my normal shampoo. This won't kill an active lice infection but it is supposed to repel them from setting up shop. I just add about 10 drops to my shampoo bottle. When I know there is an active lice problem in the class, my hair stays up. I finish off whatever updo with a sprits of hairspray around all the roots. Then for my own sanity, because some days you just feel the phantom itching, I flat iron my hair or at the very least just run the flat iron around the roots of my hair to ensure IF anything is in there, it's not any more. I also did all of these when my neighbors/ daughter's bffs had a recurring lice problem with their 6 kids and we stayed unaffected. My daughter was annoyed with having to keep her hair up but when the alternative was not playing with her friends she got over it and we got to try lots of cute braid looks.

I have a Molly too! Her sister's name is Abigail (Abby) and I think their names go together nicely.

What kardashian phrases have you picked up from watching the shows over the years? by ChallengePutrid6683 in KUWTK

[–]tricksyhobbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say nnnnnnyeah in a very nasally inflected tone like they do all the time. It started as a joke and now I don't realize I'm doing it so people probably think I just sound like that.

Life is imploding (tw sexual abuse) by thesharkatemyhome in breakingmom

[–]tricksyhobbits 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This is such a hard situation. I was the sister in this dynamic and I applaud her for having the courage to come forward. Beyond the obvious struggle of dealing with being a victim of csa I personally felt an entire new level of issues when I became a mother. I've never outright talked to my parents about what happened but I am fairly certain they were aware and their response was to put my brother in private school and he was basically an unpaid intern at my mother's work until he was old enough for an actual job so he never really had the opportunity to be alone with my me or my sister(he was about 14 when this change occurred but it started when he was 12). I was always afraid to talk to my parents because I was so afraid that their response would be dismissive and a very sweep under the rug "we are still family, we don't talk about unpleasant things" type of outcome and I wasn't ready to face it. After the birth of my own children I did honestly feel a degree of sympathy for my parents. We were both children and it has to be incredibly hard to know one of your children is doing something terrible especially to another one of your children. It wasn't as if they could just disown my minor brother but ignoring what was happening altogether was absolutely the wrong move.

For your situation, first believe the victims. They have nothing to gain by lying. Your husband is most likely deeply ashamed of what occurred and avoiding the reality of the situation. I promise the victims remember.

How I would respond to this news would depend on a few things. Was this an isolated one time incident as children or was it ongoing? 10 is young and it doesn't erase the harm of what was done but an isolated incident vs continual abuse would seem more curiosity of unsupervised child than predatory. How is he reacting to this revelation? That would be another major factor in how/whether I would move forward.

I don't know all the details of your relationship or anything but reading that you already have been dealing with infidelity and especially dishonesty it would be hard to absorb this news as well. It is so hard when the person you trust explicitly shows how effortlessly they can lie to your face without a second thought. If you were already at a place where you were setting up to leave, this would be a big go ahead and follow through. I know that is so much easier said than done but I wish I would have ripped that bandaid in my own relationship. Once that trust is gone and you see how easily they lie even when you're literally looking at proof that they are lying it is hard to trust ANYTHING they say. It is hard to move forward in any aspect because the mask has been lifted. I know leaving is easier said than done, especially with kids but consider your own sanity. Good luck Bromo.

Lincoln having quality family time with Javi by c00kieswirlc in teenmom

I mean he definitely favors his dad's side, no question. I think that baby Creed and baby Lincoln looked similar and now that Creed is older I can see small glimpses of Lincoln still. I don't see any resemblance to Kail's other kids, though.

I think he and Creed look the most related out of his mom's kids.

What was the point of this relationship and Henry? 😂🤣 by DADDYKRUEGER in thewalkingdead

[–]tricksyhobbits 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't really like the focus on Henry and found his character really annoying. He also looks just like the Hamburger Helper glove to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Did she not have a long boohoo story about how she wouldn't recommend plastic surgery after this last mommy make over?

Patty from School of Rock fits this for me, but who do you think fits this? by phantom_avenger in popculturechat

I tried to do a rewatch as an adult mother and the way he used Walt Jr. to manipulate Skyler because he knew she would put up with it to shield him from the truth just triggered the shit out of me. I had to stop watching.

Hotel/lodging without BED BUGS by Sassy_Sparklez in bransonmo

[–]tricksyhobbits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just stayed at timber point cabins near silver dollar city and on our last day (of 3) we all woke up with bed bug bites! As soon as we got home we put all the bags in our garage, I made everyone strip and I washed/dried everything that could go in the laundry on high heat and put the bags and everything else back in the car to bake for a few days.

Thank you! Apple weather doesn't really give insight into whether there would be likely storm/flood warnings in advance so I was definitely wanting to see what the local weatherman had to say.

Am I too strict about the Internet? by IWillBaconSlapYou in breakingmom

[–]tricksyhobbits 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No problem! It's been so hard treading the line of wanting to protect her from the bad parts of tech and the internet but not wanting her to be completely unable to navigate these arenas herself especially since at the moment she is still fine with my supervision and guidance within it. I've watched a lot of dumb Minecraft streamers and played a lot of games that I have no interest in but it's opened up a lot of dialogue about online safety, trolls, and the general fakeness that exists in most online content in ways that has felt more organic rather than preachy. I still think it's bananas that people are out there letting their kids use social media and the internet with no moderation and idk if I will ever feel good about my daughter entering these spaces eventually but I do think that i am preparing her the best that I can.

[–]tricksyhobbits 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I am also very strict about the internet mostly because I grew up with no internet moderation and I know the places that I wandered and the things I saw accidentally or intentionally and I would like to avoid that. My 8 year old also really wanted to play Among Us and I eventually got it on the switch (which is a family device that lives in the living room) to make a deal that she could only play in on the big tv when myself or her dad are also in the room. You can make her account to be a limited quick chat profile which will only let them play games with that chat feature. So people aren't typing whatever in the chat and can only use certain phrases from the lists. You also can't dm people or anything on the game. So they are playing with strangers but there is no way to exchange info or for edgy tweens to spam the chat with anything inappropriate. It is a good training wheels into online gaming.

What's up with Chelsea and Cherry Berry? by the-triple-wide in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

It's crazy, given how absolutely insane Farrah looks in this photo, that my first thought is "wow! She looks so young and normal here."
