I should have been a blow job!
Just break up already. Creating a tiny extra human is not going to magically fix all of your issues.
… of course that would create a paradox in which I was never born, hence not able to give her that advice … but seriously, the only reason I exist is because my mother didn’t want my dad to leave her, which is simply a shitty reason to become pregnant.
GO TO THERAPY YOU TRAUMATIC FUCKS
Throw a couple Apple shares in a college fund for me.
Yay yours isn’t sad!
Don’t.
If you want your children to engage in a certain behavior, you have to actively model that behavior. A kid isn’t going to do the thing if they never see you doing the thing, no matter how much you call them out on not doing the thing.
If you guys ever have kids, and one of them, when he’s eight years old, accidentally sets fire to the living room rug… go easy on him.
Marty… what a nice name.
Don’t wait for me to graduate high school to get divorced. Just do it.
You have ADHD and your kids probably will too.
Physical punishment is traumatic, unhelpful and builds resentment.
Jumping on the “get a fucking divorce” train and adding “stop buying prepackaged overprocessed food, feed me some damn vegetables, and stop giving me so much goddamn sugar”
Lay off the legal and illegal drugs, seriously. No, hiding them in a drawer isn’t baby proofing.
Children’s medications aren’t scams, they have different doses for a reason (the reason is usually risk of overdose).
Yelling and beating a child isn’t discipline and the southern Baptist church is a terrible place to take kids.
I worked through a lot of this in therapy, but it still annoys me that I had better risk management in my teens than my parents did in their 30s.
Children’s medications aren’t scams, they have different doses for a reason (the reason is usually risk of overdose).
This will obviously very from med to med, but most stuff over the counter will be exactly the same for adults and children, just with instructions for children to take less.
For example, both children’s and adult’s liquid acetaminophen (paracetamol) are sold in the US at a strength of 160mg/5mL, and they will both have the same instructions for children under 2, children 2-11, and people 12+
I’ll jump on the “just don’t” train. Like serious try again some other time but just abort this one
Don’t impose your religion on your kids or you’ll just drive them away and you’ll never get to know them as adults before the cancer kills you.
I could write a novel here honestly but I’ll keep it a bit brief:
Don’t ask your toddler which parent they’ll go with if you 2 get a divorce. If you don’t love your partner you should get a divorce. Joint custody is a thing.
Don’t “stay together for the kids” you will only cause them more mental harm in the long run.
Don’t make your young children have to be the most mature person in the room. They should be allowed to be a kid.
Be at least somewhat involved in your kids lives, if you’re not don’t be surprised when they don’t choose to involve you in their lives as they get older.
This resonates 💔
