If this is how my children felt, I would consider myself a failure. It’s not acceptable in a healthy relationship that the other party feel fear. For children, parents have even more of an obligation of trust and security. Anything less is neglectful and perhaps even abusive.

Kindergarteners say some interesting things. The amount of times I had to “yup, okay, anyways this neat (redirection)” were daily. But you work with them long enough and you know their family secrets without asking for sure.

The mud pits are a test of strength!

I am going to get to a point where I just to back to botw for the gameplay lol.

I see you’ve got the standard warthogs handling experience.

The ones most sensitive to price increases are the ones who consistently vote to for these types of leaders. They are visceral, reactive, and planning for the future is just paycheck-to-paycheck. They are reactionary. I worry most about what they do when they can no longer afford necessities, and how many ways that will be blamed on their levelheaded neighbors.

Still dipping below freezing. I can’t wait to see anything spring like. Bring on the insects and their mighty hordes.

I’ll join!

I guess the dungeoneering itself. It’s probably the main thing I wish was different if I could change anything. Getting keys, compasses, each room being a puzzle, relying on the map, and the final boss really being earned is probably more work though…I love the shrines of course.

Between the two I still favor botw, but once I learned to make gadgets I spent a lot of time making stupid things which was pretty entertaining. Especially with rockets.

The play certainly isn’t what old school games were. I do wish there were more dungeons.

This is so funny because my kids have been doing the same thing. Why won’t I just go to the next checkpoint? To them it’s nuts.

I’ve seen just a handful of “I know it’s a comment chain from Reddit, but….” posts.

1. Buy the house for my kids I’ve been saving for
2. Set us all a reasonable allowance and a rainy day fund so we never have to worry
3. Find a way to donate the majority to underserved families of children with disabilities

Mom here.

Plan B: Yes …and…!

Go to the health dept/gyno and get tested. If you haven’t had an HPV vaccine you’ve also been exposed (and exposing others). HPV can cause cancer, which develops slowly with no symptoms. Make sure you get routine paps. Get on birth control, ASAP.

And yes I’d say you have things to process, being as you’re doing this knowing it will feel bad and scary later. Therapy is expensive and all, but I’d look into why you might do things to yourself that are clearly self-sabotaging.

Feel free to send a DM.

Realized I’d dropped a cup and band size and that’s why my bras all felt terrible. New bras yay! My wallet cries, but it feels nice?

Watching people make connections.

Me, trying to use the right code…
