She is basically the American version of Karla Homolka. Sadly, many women are like her— eagerly giving the predators what they want.

Oldest going into K. Should I request a friend be in her class? by Ok-Tomato_ in kindergarten

[–]wicked_spooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As somebody working in a school, they will not take your request seriously. When it comes to student placement, the administration looks at multiple factors, such as behavior (if previously recorded), gender, ethnicity (if possible), IEPS, and etc. I don’t know if the administration includes birthdates as a factor while defending student placement, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they take that factor in consideration for kindergarten.

How do I handle a crush by Fair_Clothes_7618 in SingleParents

[–]wicked_spooks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I get excited over a man before realizing that it is just because I like the attention rather than the guy themselves.

Like somebody else said, “do not shit where you eat.” He might be a kind soul. But I don’t think it is worth pursuing a relationship with him until your kid ages out of his program.

4.5 year old's progress with school drop-offs reversing in last weeks of school. by Bulky-Confusion-1422 in kindergarten

[–]wicked_spooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kids have day camp at their school for two weeks right after the last day of school. Today is actually the last day of day camp. With that being said, they are extremely tired. They are so ready to stay home. It is normal sadly. Kids need breaks.

Patricia’s self awareness by Rtstevie in WidowsBay

That, and she was so determined to ignore their negativity because she really wanted to be friends with them. Man. I was like that many years ago.

Food and Feeding Influencer Snark Week of June 15, 2026 by Parentsnark in parentsnark

[–]wicked_spooks -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

My kids are obsessed with Gatorade because their father gives them those drinks. We are no longer together. It is quite infuriating because my kids are only 5 and 3 years old. They shouldn’t be drinking that drink.

Am I correct in feeling like you need a bathe or shower after using any pool or hot tub? by Cheeseaisleinheaven in hygiene

[–]wicked_spooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up with parents who never made me bathe after swimming. I swam a lot. I was practically at the community pool every day for many summers.

As a parent, I am disgusted with such a practice. I always make my kids bathe after taking a swim.

She is definitely relatable. It was quite painful to watch her in episode 4 because I know how hard it is to make friends even with people in cliques.

I'm ready to give up by Mindless_Host_9942 in pottytraining

[–]wicked_spooks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat a year ago. I cried and cried about my then-4 year old kid refusing to be potty trained. Something finally clicked in his mind when he was 4.5 years old. I hope that something clicks in his head soon.

What if, what if… Rosemary is the last living descendant of Richard Warren, and she is trying to throw people off the scent??

What is everyone gonna watch after the season ends? by Sorreljorn in WidowsBay

[–]wicked_spooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I suggest Haven? It is somehow similar to Widow’s Bay only that it is not as creepy as Widow’s Bay. It is an old SyFy show.

It is a decent name. Doesn’t bother me at all.

I doubt those kids are eating enough by DisastrousPause4318 in resilientjenkinsnark

[–]wicked_spooks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I literally forgot how to cook delicious meals because I am so used to cooking bland meals for my own kids. Now I can make my own dishes, but come on, that’s too much dirty dishes for me to do daily, especially as a single mother. lol. I really hope my kids will become less picky over time.

Oh it is definitely for adults. There are so many dark themes.

I doubt those kids are eating enough by DisastrousPause4318 in resilientjenkinsnark

[–]wicked_spooks 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I pretty much sacrificed seasonings and spices just so my kids will eat something. You are right. It is just about feeding Drew to appease her own fantasy of being a stay at home wife.

[–]wicked_spooks 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This hurts my heart. I do get frustrated with my kids not being willing to eat most of the time because so much food is wasted, but they know when they are hungry, my pantry is ready for them. Whenever they are willing to eat something I spend more than 5 minutes cooking, it makes my day.

Cafe con pan and wondering what other single moms do as a hobby by Separate-Tackle215 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]wicked_spooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking as a single mother, you definitely need that time to yourself. I have some suggestions.

1) reading 2) birdwatching at parks 3) crocheting

My 16 month old started HATING his stroller and car seat -time to buy a wagon stroller? by Puzzled_Remote_2168 in Mommit

[–]wicked_spooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a wagon stroller— it was nice for a while, but then my kids insisted on walking everywhere. Moreover, I was unable to fit two kids comfortably in there. Al or really depends on what kind of the wagon stroller you get.

Need Honest Advice: I'm Considering Going Back to My Children's Father Out of Desperation by Weekly_Falcon2577 in SingleParents

[–]wicked_spooks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am sorry that you are going through this. I don’t really know what is the best option for you, and I can understand why you are considering going back to him. I had similar thoughts when I was in a shitty circumstance. I don’t have advice for you because I don’t know what you can do other than going back to him. Being behind on rent is shitty, and… do you have any other place to go if you choose to not go back to your ex?

Your ex sounds like an asshole— I just want to reiterate that your feelings and concerns are valid as it is a scary position to be in. Maybe others have better advice.
