I've just had horrible flashbacks to lockdown 1. I developed a quick 'trigger finger' over the zoom camera icon because my OH (I have one, did you know?) KEPT APPEARING in the background of zoom meetingsPoor Jack, having to be in the same huge bungalow as someone having Zoom calls.
It's not like you could.....go upstairs or into a different room in your house and pretend to work is it?
The fella and I were locked down in London (he RENTS!) in a one bed flat without a garden. So we had to listen to each others Zooms most of the time and if he had a call at the same time as me I had to go into the bedroom because his computer is hardwired. We managed.
No fancy noise cancelling headphones whilst I changed my Twitter bio for the billionth time
My biggest takeaway from raising 4 boys into adulthood is that treating them like toddlers when they're teens is a total disaster. They want as much control and responsibility as they can get and they're trying to understand who they are as people in a world where they get constant pressure to be conflicting kinds of masculine all at once, and reducing that down to "smelly shouty hormone vessels" is disrespectful.
Positioning her child as either a scoffing, smelly, shouty hormonal pig, or a complete angel, really gets my goat (leg). Why can't she treat him like a normal human being? Sending him outside to play fetch X times is so weird (also what happens on the day when he just says no?). Be different if she said "I'm going to go outside and chuck the ball about with Content for a bit to calm down. If you want to join me, that's great; if you don't, that's ok too."
One thing I insisted upon with our kids is that we've never sent them out the house when they're in trouble. It's their home and it's never a place they're not allowed to be.
...or find out what was in spacesquig's box?Could you maybe leave some nightmeat or Lurpak butter on her doorstep?
She writes a lot of things that make it very clear she never was the primary caregiver to a toddler…? I have no doubt puppies will shit from the windows to the walls but how could they possibly generate more washing than a vomiting toddler with bed linen, clothes, towels, for both them and you? And the teddies or car seats or your actual car seats/carpets! It’s not adding up for me
Spot on, thanks. I hope he has good people around and what's been said about his Dad being sound is true. He deserves the most stable lifeI'm going to risk disagreeing in certain circumstances - the kids who have been forced to parent their parents, coach them to eat, check they're not deadbecause they're fucking off their tits again, are held responsible for propping up somebody's moods when they've been dumped by yet another person from the long list of people coming in and out of their lives, have been publicly humiliated when they're the only grown up in the house and have never really known a time when they can be carefree, happy children - they can absolutely reject responsibility.
Because they've had it forced upon them two decades too early by incompetent, irresponsible and infinitely irritating parents.
And once they're at a point where they feel they're large enough, smart enough and finally see exactly how abominably their emotional needs have been ignored in favour of the parent - they argue. They shout. They stay on the step because they don't trust the adult not to completely lose their shit physically or accuse them of attacking them, but they shout and stamp.
SB is reaching the end of his tether - and I reckon that it won't be long before he just doesn't go round anymore.
Agreed. I think it’s SB’s dog and the dad brings it around on the morning for the evenings she has SB, or maybe he just brings them both around after school. There’s not been enough Content content and she can’t help but share stuff for likes. Something doesn’t add up - and it’s not her shopping list for a change.I think the puppy is SBs - rather than what fack has told us. And after seeing last weeks video, where she ordered him to tidy up a bit of plastic, I hope he is standing up to her. No is not a word Jacksie thinks applies to her....bit like a nail brush and declaring your taxes. But it does. Go SB.
I agree! We fostered 3 puppies a couple of years ago. They didn't create anywhere near as much laundry between them as my son did as a toddler or has done since!She writes a lot of things that make it very clear she never was the primary caregiver to a toddler…?

I assume some of them just look at the pictures but don't read her actual postsWhy do they think something like this though?

My dog is a rescue and I didn’t have him from pup age. If he has an upset stomach he has boiled rice and some carrot. When I lived at home and we had a pup, my mum made it lightly scrambled egg when it had an upset tummy.I don't know why this thing about chicken and puppies keeps being repeated. The easiest food for puppies to digest is soft meat, possibly some raw egg and boiled rice.
Scrambly egg, surely?My dog is a rescue and I didn’t have him from pup age. If he has an upset stomach he has boiled rice and some carrot. When I lived at home and we had a pup, my mum made it lightly scrambled egg when it had an upset tummy.
Scamberley, actually. Now please fuck off and leave me and my dog to enjoy the rest of our evening.Scrambly egg, surely?
Like many a wonderful thread title nomination, it was TOO SOONHave we heard anything more about the dates with The Teacher, etc?
Do you have a scamberley egg recipe Laz? I can't work out how to scramble eggs and there's no possible other way to find out. Thanks for all you doScamberley, actually. Now please fuck off and leave me and my dog to enjoy the rest of our evening.
I give mine scrambled egg.My dog is a rescue and I didn’t have him from pup age. If he has an upset stomach he has boiled rice and some carrot. When I lived at home and we had a pup, my mum made it lightly scrambled egg when it had an upset tummy.
I doesn't as far as I'm aware. It's given to women going through the peri menopause if HRT doesn't work for brain fog and crashing fatigue.I would have thought going on testosterone wouldn’t make someone tired given it’s performance enhancing effects for athletes?
Yes, absolutely! XDo you have a scamberley egg recipe Laz? I can't work out how to scramble eggs and there's no possible other way to find out. Thanks for all you do
