    How to support a gifted child?

    @aegisheart It’s great that you are proceeding with caution. A lot of adults who were labeled as gifted report they have severe anxiety and suffered from failure to launch. They end up getting a LOT of praise for success but not for process/effort which breeds a lack of self motivation later...

    a question of entitlement

    @buycheapestviagraedu He KNEW the kids were off school. Why the heck is it on OP to figure it all out. It is super entitled of parent B to just walk out the door.

    a question of entitlement

    @kezia I am shocked by the comments here. I had to check and make sure I wasn’t on some submissive wife thread by accident. I am so sorry you’re getting treated this way.

    Income keeps going up but husband doesn’t want to outsource any chores

    @gembeldolar About 4 months ago I started hiring home help for a huge number of hours per week. A little more than ten percent of my monthly take home pay for this amount of help. I know it’s an outrageous amount of help. But I have honestly never been happier in my whole life. And I...

    a question of entitlement

    @kezia I seriously cannot believe the downvotes you are getting. One parent shouldn’t have to take on the mental burden of all childcare. You have every right to be annoyed.

    Cleaning toys

    @doomedhyclic I clean stuff that’s visibly gross. But the risk of mold growing in some toys is high if you get them wet. The one exception for me would be Hand Foot Mouth. I read somewhere that it can stay on toys a long time and actually reinfect kids.

    How Do I Stop Being a Cranky B*tch

    @kaleidoscopeheart Honestly it’s just insane to me that we’ve reached a point in this world where women have been lead to believe that all that can be done by one person. There are no tips or tricks to fix your mood. Trying harder is not the answer. You should be angry as fuck. How...

    Sibling gender (biological sex at birth)?

    @elam84 I read that you are somewhat more likely to have the same sex child for your second born as you did for your first and that the third child goes back to 50:50 or close to it.

    Long term deployment w/o family: would you do it?

    @jwesley Your bond with your child will absolutely be significantly harmed by this. If you have a strong bond with your child now they will experience abandonment if you leave. Only you can decide if it’s worth it to you.

    This subreddit needs a wiki

    @andujartyler I always want to ask people how they would feel if they hired a nanny and found out the nanny was doing a full time WFH job while watching their kid. They would absolutely flip out. But lots of people still think it’s okay to do it to their own child.

    a question of entitlement

    @churchbuilder Parent B is just as responsible for asking the follow up questions as parent A is. “Hey, the kids have no school on Monday”. Parent B should be responsible for asking for what the means for the routine just as much as much as parent A. Why is the SAHP assumed to be in charge...

    a question of entitlement

    @churchbuilder Why would you assume the routine should be the same when the kids have off of school? It shouldn’t be on parent A to always manage those details. I agree that communication was poor. But an engaged parent should at least recognize things will look different if kids are not...
