Today I learned...

[barefootgirl69]

expanded my buddy list a little.

Thank you all.

As I've mentioned before: in my personal pantheon spiders have been messengers of death. I'm less spiritual these days, but never-the-less; I have no desire to end up with another spider in my mouth conveying yet another message of rejection. I'm too old for that shit.

besides, a dozen years ago, I established an alternative.

My grandfather died in 2004 of lung cancer. I only light up as an alternative to suicide, and never light up without putting it out on me. I freely admit that it's super melodramatic, but in those dark moments, a little melodrama does wonders.

Cigarette Number 4 was ten years ago. I've burned myself rarely since then, and not at all in at least 2 years.

Grim exposition aside;

my wife told me today that she wants to trade roles. She doesn't think I'm up to par in taking care of our daughters, particularly the little one; with her encopresis (incontinence caused by blockages). She thinks she can rewind and tackle it as a psychological/ behavioral problem even though the doctors have gone to great length to convince me that it is purely physical.

Never mind that she hasn't been to a single one of those doctors appointments, even when she had the opportunity to tag along. Never mind that there has been significant improvement lately. And never mind I'm not qualified to earn what she does; my take home pay was never half what she earns now, and we're struggling as is.

but say I go along with this... and miraculously get a job that can at least replace hers if not support the family... are we just going back to the last time our roles were reversed? I'd have a laundry list of reservations against that, things we used to fight over at the time that I had hoped would never be relevant again.

I feel so fucking worthless.

I don't know you... I usually lurk here in BDSM, but I daresay you aren't worthless. Look at all you've done for your daughters each day. Apparently, they're clothed and fed by you, taken to doctors appointments. I bet the house is cleaned and laundry done.

I have no clue how old your little ones are, but I'm a SAHM, I home school, and take care of everything else. Parenting isn't easy.

Give yourself some credit wherever it is due, and don't allow anyone to make you feel worthless. Give it your best each day.

Hugs

We started talking a lot about forts in the middle of this thread... sounds like it needs its own thread!!

Ah yes, I saw that.

I can't post pics from my phone, but I would be happy to get the ball rolling!

Lurker!

You are going to have to come hang at the blanket fort, mkay?

 

[Tallcajun]

I echo BFG's and others sentiments. You shouldn't feel worthless when you've done worthwhile things. Especially for your kids. Don't let anyone drag you down. My observations of you are of an intelligent, loving man.

You just learned that today?

BC has teeth. They are sharp and she hides them very well. She showed them to me. It made me smile. Keep eye rolling internally my friend.

TIL some rather interesting insight into the why of a passion I have. I was more than a little dumbstruck . I never would've considered it or have ever even come close to connecting the dots... It was a good day.

 

[MyNameIsNO]

TIL... lots of things.
- We really have no instruction in our schoolwork.
- It's nice to go to a bar after the hospital and eat chicken wings and cheese fries with 2 of your best friends and just BITCH.'
- The Joint Commission and the fear it brings.
- That I can teach my fancy DNP instructor things and she seems surprised.


And apparently I yelled at Noe while I was drunk Saturday. I learned that today too.
Sorry honey

TIL Master didn't know the words to the song 'Someone's in the Kitchen with Dinah' until I sang it today. He always knew the tune but didn't know there were lyrics to it. After dying of laughter, I educated him .

I learned that is IS ok to ask if my wife and daughter are both on the rag as long as I couch it as "do I need to make an emergency run to the grocery store for ice cream & chocolate?"

and the answer was a synchronized YES.

maybe this belongs in the FUCK! thread.

TIL, Staggy is a smart man.

Today I learned my best friend is depressed and I should leave him alone. He doesn't what to be cheered up. It annoys him.

Sometimes we all need space.

TIL that people will always go above and beyond the call of stupidity when they're uncomfortable. Just shut the fuck up.

 

[Gwanji16]

Today I learned a woman in one of my classes is being body shamed by a classmate for having fat cheeks. She doesn't have fat cheeks, but my wrath will be swift and with little mercy. Nobody messes with my kids.

 

[Collar_N_Cuffs]

Really? Don't offer fixes? I had no idea. I always want fixes, and I always feel more helpful if I can offer some. I DO know how to listen, though. That's actually harder than some people realize.

 

[_Necrosomantic_]

I was going to make a joke about werewolf fetishes (they have a magic knife that self-twists)..

instead... since the post you mentioned was intended to be part of a glossary page, with links to it and such... I went back and edited it to include your favs.

Changeling was a flop at first too.

Thanks boss, you're a fuckin' Saint

Oh yeah panic attacks while driving down a freeway are sexy as fuck!

Or are you talking about the rambling on the drive home?

Probably talking about the rambling. Like this. I ramble when I'm stressed. Hey my chest is starting to hurt again. Awesome sauce.
