- ^^The first one was kidney cancer - the one I just found out about, I don't know what kind of cancer it was. Ovarian maybe? It must have been so aggressive or caught really late.

- Toddler When trump talks about pardoning everyone, including himself - isn't he basically admitting they are all guilty?

- they are soulless
- Yeah, but we don't have a Congress willing to get on board with that plan.

- He's incapable of logical thought. He also doesn't get that one can't leak "fake news," so all of his rants about leaks verify the information he's trying to discredit.
- I can't believe these tweets. It is stunning that no one is able to get him to stop doing it. I'm kind of glad he's doing it though, he keeps digging the hole deeper and is...(more)

- op: so was I. And my parents didn't play so it was on me. However, my ds isn't me. He is interested and he is learning but I have to be there. Plus his new repertoire piece is...(more)
- My dd's piano teacher requires that I sit in on the lesson so that I can do the practice with her. She's intense...I get the stinkeye if dd hasn't practiced enough.
- same here, but dd is doing Suzuki so a parent kind of needs to know what's going on
- She tells me that eventually I won't have to (I don't for my older 2), but she teaches dd music theory also, so that's why she wants me there. I get it, and I'm glad that she...(more)

- This post has been disliked 5 times. Calm down, Debra
- You ladies are fucking nuts. Explains all the fat divorcees here.
- what's that, mom of the little kid who murdered somebody because he had mental health problems that his mom swept under the rug?
- Np trying to drown a younger kid warrants more than this
- Just let people cool down and talk it through.
- They need to apologize to each other and let it go
- Splashing in a pool is normal. Trying to hurt someone is not.
- End it. Your ds life was just at serious risk. Who do you love more?
- woah there, drama. i figure we'll go to our separate corners for a day and then get back together. ds life was at risk and that's obvs not ok. we won't be swimming with her any...(more)
- Next time it will be a knife. Take this attitude and have fun seeing what happens
- You needs meds and therapy.
- And her ds needs to not be an ass hole too
- THIS. Nothing like being schooled by a middle-schooler when you're being a relentless turd.
- op: fucking tell me about it. i'm working on it. the sick sense of humour side of me is thinking: well i bet he won't be splashing HER anymore, huh?
- You have your head screwed on straight. I'm sure she wouldn't ave *actually* drowned him, she was just really pissed off. She scared herself--and him. It won't happen again.
- yeah that's what i'm thinking. i'm nearly over it, but it was fucking scary and i did have to walk away to keep from trying to murder the girl. but it was a moment and it's over....(more)
- np: call me crazy, but it sounds like she fucked w. him but was never going to do anything serious. he was under for 2-3 seconds? that's a way to scare the kid and move on....(more)

- She should feel that way, the real concern would be if she didn't.
- Agree. Her reaction is a good sign.
- My brother used to viciously dunk me all the time
- well it is up to you to decide if there is something deeper there or not, I wouldn't take explosive anger lightly but then again hard to know if it is a one off or not
- no apparently she has anger issues. boyfriend has told me about it before, how she can get explosively angry in a flash. i hadn't seen it ever, so i guess i figured explosive...(more)
- Do you think you'll marry him? Anger issues like that are hard to deal with. I would consider how it will affect your children's lives.
- then you need to be really, really careful and also realize this anger doesn't come out of nowhere it is the result of the family dynamics...
- Np she could seriously hurt your child
- no apparently she has anger issues. boyfriend has told me about it before, how she can get explosively angry in a flash. i hadn't seen it ever, so i guess i figured explosive...(more)
- I don't think blending families is gonna work, too much anger here. She may be lashing out against her dad
- Np and she's fucking crazy, normal person snaps like that
- I would tell her if she doesn't want to get splashed, don't get in the pool. And there would be a serious consequence for what she did...she could have really hurt him.
- You have to break up.
- ^ this can never be fixed and you can't have your child around someone who held him underwater
- uh, she was holding your ds under??

- well... if your niece is potentially transitioning, it's probably time for you to get over it and let your 8yo out into the big scary world. of his cousin. who is 13. if she's...(more)
- at what age does the transition stuff start? Also she just got her period so perhaps it was just something she said in response to having a period now.
- could be. transition can start any time. once she hits puberty (so now) she can go on hormone therapy to prevent her boobs from coming in as much, and minimize her "womanliness."...(more)
- She's saying it to show off to a younger cousin. Let's not put the cart before the horse here.
- she asked a question, i gave her the information.

- np - no shit. most of dd's friends this year (12/13yo) decided they were trans/bi/gay blah blah blah.
- at what age does the transition stuff start? Also she just got her period so perhaps it was just something she said in response to having a period now.
- 8yo is old enough to hear about this issue imo.
- ita. good opportunity to talk about it.
- tread lightly? you don't need to do anything. odds are nothing will come of this statement and if it does your ds will learn a lot.

- To most 8year olds, boys are boys and girls are girls.
- "and I want to be a millionaire." boom done.
