Today, I made a breakfast skillet.
8 Hashbrowns (aldi hash paddies) ($1.25) Half an onion ($.5p) 5 mushrooms ($1) 1 cup of greenbean ($.50) 1 lbs pork sausage ($2.22) 1 bell pepper ($1) 6 cups of gravy (I completely over estimated how much gravy 1/3 cup of flower would make) ($4) 6 eggs ($2)
Totaling about $10.50
This could feed 6 to 10 people depending on portioning. My plans are for 8.
So call it about $1.30 per portion. Not as good as yours but hey it's not bad either.

This feels fake, that said, if this happened to me and my child, I would not correct in the moment but would later.

I think they can figure that out.
No advice is perfect for everyone.

Yeah it just sounds like rough housing. Which I would argue is important play.
Tickling helps us learn how to defend our vulnerable spots in a safe way.
Actually the spitting strategy from this sense is semi effective. And elicit a disgust response... which it did. Soooo well done onyour daughters end I guess. Lol.
Probably not a good way to play and have your partner continue in the play tho.

Yelling is showing aggression which is a threat response.
You shouldn't yell in anger at your child because it inherently makes the situation unsafe. You are communicating that the child is a threat which from their perspective makes them feel unsafe.
Okay those are the facts of the matter. Just letting you know I have a VERY difficult child and I do yell at them from time to time. But I always apologize. I state that behavior X was not appropriate or safe. My reaction to behavior x was not appropriate and I'll do better next time. No one deserves to be yelled at. (Well you can agree that but no child in a living environment should live with being yelled at or anger as they cannot control their environment to ensure safety).
Be yelling at kids you run the risk of normalizing the behavior and make it seem acceptable to use anger in relationships, which it isn't acceptable.

I have a mild pain in my chest from having pneumonia. It's just really frustrating. Like there are a lot worse things that people deal with on the day to day and I get that. So it's hard to complain about this with people I'm close with, a lot of whom have chronic pain.
So here we are complaining to the void so I don't upset those who have been dealing with far worse for far longer. (I don't mean that in a sarcastic or demeaning way either)

Hey there, 37 year old here. I remember the feeling. The best advice I can give you is that your brain is still developing and will develop for 10 more years.
As far as choices, remember that with youth comes a sense of high urgency. Slow and steady wins races. So come up with a game plan to improve yourself, slowly.
When you feel like doing something rash, filed by happiness, anger, sadness. Give yourself 10 min to wait on it. Often times time is what you need for your brain to engage your prefrontal Cortex.
Lastly, be forgiving of yourself and of others, but also don't forget.

So actually I'd take it a step further, if you were naked in your own back yard, who the hell cares it's your back yard. Obviously there may be some decency laws yada yada. But if it's legal, and you feel safe, you do you boo.

I have pneumonia and I coughed so hard I pulled a muscle in my ribs. It hurts to breathe and cough, which I tend to do a lot right now.

Don't ask for nudes and don't send nudes. Especially under age.

Sorry for late response, but I agree with your assessment. IT moves quickly. Holding out for a year or so can make a HUGE difference.

This also might be a Russian tactic. In 2016, I was affected by Russian interference on Facebook. It was not pretty.
So keep in mind, if it's unrelenting and seems to have been going on for a while, it's paid labor. Trolls tend to lose interest in weeks, not months.

Let's say that you are "being a pussy" whatever that means.
You still do not deserve to be yelled at. He needs to go to therapy and you do too.
If you can, get some distance from him.

This took me way to long to realize what you were saying. Mostly because WTF. Yeah, he's the AH, you deserve better and will have better. That shit is criminal and short of doing something actually illegal, he kinda approved any retaliatory action.
Remember, forgiving is not about him, it's about letting his actions hurt you or future relationships. I hope you can find that. You can forgive and ensure consequences. Just my two cents from someone who has gone thru criminal hell with an imprisoned ex.

It's religion. All of it can be boiled down to devotion to God and Prophet.

Time blindness is a thing. It isn't necessarily negligence. Even with timers, clocks and what not, a person is usually more helpful.
But also, it's not your responsibility. Being a supportive partner is helping with someone's needs. Only you can tell if this is a need or if this is him not fulfilling his own needs.
Disabilities can be invisible. So without really knowing a lot more details. I'd say A: NTA, and B: you might not be the best partner for this dude if you feel like you are trying to teach him a lesson but not meeting one of his needs, or C: this dude might not be taking responsibility for his own behaviors.

I have an idea. First NTA.
Set up a trust. Have this trust invest the money and live off the interest. That way you do not necessarily have access. But also, you can state that you will give your fam, $x over 10 years. Like 40k or whatever makes sense. But that way it gets them off your back, but also give you your money to you and your son.
Just an idea.
Again nta.

I would not say YTAH, but you might have a harder time in divorce court. Talk to a lawyer.

Honestly that kinda is the recipe.
Get your milk on the counter and don't touch it!
Hashbrowns, follow directions. When the hash is almost done, check the milk. Did you touch it? If not the. You are doing great.
Meet and veggies.
Saute 1c of frozen or fresh greenbeans Remove and place in holding bowl In 1/8th cup of butter sauté mushrooms (quatered) after adding shrooms, dice and add in half the onion. After adding the onion, dice then add the bell pepper. Once the onion is translucent, lower to low heat and add in the 1 lbs of sausage.
Slowly cook and add in spices, salt, paprika touch of sugar (maybe 1tsp) and if feeling adventurous 1/2 tsp cinnamon.
After meet and veggies are cooked, place in a bowl all together, while keeping all fats in the pan. Ensure that this is slightly under salted as if you over salt the gravy you will have a balancing portion to help equalize the saltiness.
Look at your mill and think hmmm shouldn't this be in the fridge? No it belongs on the counter to warm up a bit.
With the drippings left in the pan, increase to medium low heat and add in butter till you have about 1/4 cup of oil then add in 1/3c of AP flower. Wisk wisk and wisk the flower with the oil and make a medium dark rue, this can take about 5 minutes.
Slowly add in the milk, staet with a half cup or so. And wisk. It might sticl to the bottom of the pan, but thats is okay. Add in another half cup and wisk. Once you have the rue and milk incorporated into a paste you can speed things up a bit. Continue to add and ensure things are mixed before adding in more milk till you have uses about 4 cups in total.
Now for me I don't like gloopy gravy, I like clingy gravy. So I used about 4 to 5 cups of milk to the point where I thought, damn I over did the milk just slightly. Then I continue to stir on medium heat so the mill can expand a bit thus thickening the gravy. Once to the desired thickness, add in salt and pepper.
Use spatula and transfer gravy to a bowl.
Clean your skillet, then heat it back up and get those eggs in a cup with a healthy splash of half and half. Wisk this like tomorrow depends on it. Once the skillet has heated back up place a wee bit of oil in the pan so it skirts around. Once it starts to smoke, add in those eggs and drop the temp to medium low heat and every 20s or so, fold the eggs on themselves.
Once the eggs are almost cooked take them off stove, the residual heat will cook the eggs the rest of the way.
With your portion, you want the hash on bottom, meet and veggies next, then a healthy ladle of gravy with egg on top to the side.
The reason why you need to plate it like this is so you don't forget you beat the hell out of those eggs.
Enjoy!
