My experience with Ambien — So I got a prescription for Ambien to help me sleep now at the time I was regularly smoking weed and had used LSD, ket and coke as well now after 1-2 nights of taking 1 pill for sleep along with my ni…

What team am I playing on — So back in my early 20s I'd been using ambien to trip and as a substitute for Xanax whenever I couldn't get a hold of any benzos. This was in the early days of popping different pills but ambien was m…

"It's sad that the timing didn't work out for us, but maybe I could get a wonderful new ~~friend~~ cat-sitter through this experience"

You're friend sounds like a typical story of someone who recoiled from a bad trip. If you are of stable mind going into it then common psychedelics by themselves should not cause you to do anything to…

My wife is completely disinterested is using psychedelics, but is very open to me trying and using different things in search of personal discovery and recreationally. She has been with me for every t…

Try doing MDMA with him. Have an overnight sitter for the kids and you should do MDMA together. It’s worth a try. The parts of you that don’t want to be a wife anymore, what is its intention for you?…

Don’t do it, if anything just suggest marriage counseling with him first and see how it goes. I got divorced with young kids because I had to (dv) and it’s seriously the worst. Also maybe you need to …

4 and 6. I’m not seeing anyone.  She recently kicked out her affair partner, who was our 21f babysitter, so maybe that’s the reason for the increase in texts. Nevertheless, she texts pretty much 80% o…

Yeah, that sounds like a good reason for her to be bothering you more. And ewww on the babysitter thing, I'm so sorry! You just need to set your boundaries. If it's really bothering you, you could alw…

THIS, what the person above said . It sounds like she has major issues with boundaries (21f babysitter affair, say no more. So sorry Op.) and will push against any boundaries that are set so remember …

She kicked out her affair partner, who was our 21F babysitter, a week or so ago. The GF is 24 now and my ex is 38; nevertheless, she's been texting a ton since I moved out. The volume has been there…

My 6-year-old son has some anger issues at her house, but I never see it. I grabbed my phone and we went in his room to call his mom to talk about things. He started explaining how he feels and she …

My ex was 36 when she started fooling around with our 21F babysitter. She also hooked up with a guy a few times. Found out about everything within 2 weeks. Regardless, yes, I think revisiting a week…

We didn't split on good terms, so there's that. She was 36 and hooked up with a guy and then had an affair with our babysitter who was 21F. They lived together with my kids for about 2.5 years until…

She had two affairs and recently kicked out one who had been living with her for 2.5 years. I'm friendly, but I feel that daily texts aren't required for co-parenting. She was 36 and hooking up with…

I'm thinking the same, or rather it gets more apparent now when the kids are bigger. We can now finally live our own lives a little bit, we don't need a baby sitter if we wanna pop out and have a date…

Lots of great tips already. Just adding a few more: - a body pillow to hold while sleeping - a big squishmallow to hold whenever, or put at your back while sleeping and holding the body pillow - beco…

Ya the amount of times my brother has gotten a pet and gotten rid of said pet within the span of 4 months is ridiculous. He also killed my lizard and his ex gfs bunny by being a negligent pet sitter. …

Good for you! I was the exact same! Babysitter, chef, handyman, HVAC guy, Gardner, landscaper, and funny guy to bring to work parties. Oh, and her mom lived with us so while she bitched about having …

I find 90s content is more lighthearted and wholesome. I love Anne of Green Gables, Little House on the Prairie, The Babysitter's Club Movie, etc. I love watching the Goldbergs and I imagine living in…

The biggest points, in my opinion: - Conversations often turn into misunderstandings - I feel invisible - He’s become really negative - When I first told him I was pregnant his immediate response was…

A lot of self reflection is needed. Not having a place is a pretty good excuse. You shouldn’t need help to pack your child’s bag you are their parent not a babysitter. This behavior alone on a consist…

>Again, you aren't buying consent from people here Nobody talked about buying consent. I said you need to consent to a sale. Otherwise it's invalid. Don't argue that, it's literally how it legally wo…

They provide insight and dissolve the ego so you can see new ways of handling your traumas and relationships. Your ego will spend a lot of energy trying to avoid the difficulties of life. Having it ou…

Just because he’s your partner or you live together doesn’t mean he’d need to be responsible for your dog while you are away. You could have a friend or dog sitter look after them. The question is, wh…

This sounds so much like my late in-laws marriage. My MIL never in her life held a job outside the home. Her parents did for her until she ran away from home at 15 and hooked up with FIL. They were ma…

My friend's ex takes the kids Saturday and Sunday, but not overnight, because it "stresses out his girlfriend" and one Sunday his plan was to pick them up around 2 pm, then suddenly he was calling at …

Long, hot baths can help with this. Not the same, but similar sensory input. I know you already responded to dog, but maybe look into dog sitting or short-term foster. I'm a dog owner and I've somet…

what exactly does he “add” to your life other than a paycheck and an occasional babysitter? please note that these two things would also be required of him (by a court, no less) if you had shared cust…

Yeah. Emotionally absent dad with a narc mother. Dad also has narc traits too. Dad is also a terrible alcoholic. He can't talk to anyone about anything unless he's drinking, and he can only talk about…

Age 2. My mom didn't want to take me grocery shopping with her anymore. So she left me at home with a baby sitter who never watched me. I ran away from home one day. Luckily, a neighbor saw me heading…

Isn’t it fascinating that it’s not coming up? It’s wild to me. I agree it’s sex trafficking. Fwiw, my personal soap box is reminding everyone that women largely did not “do it by themselves” in the e…

A little over a year ago, I found out that my dad(90) had died. My aunts and I joked that he’d decided to let go because he’d put up with Nmom for 63 years. I was 62 at the time. I’d been NC with them…

Honestly I wouldn't worry too much if you're not experiencing anything at home. I'm of the belief that there's terrestrial NHI - what's typically called 'nature spirits'. Disrespecting the land, tak…

I would be questioning the choices of anyone who accepts a trip sitter they've never met before at their house while they were already tripping. But also you've said you've pulled back to "allow her …

My marriage sucked for a long time but I fought hard to save it. But I finally gave up on my marriage when my wife told me I “was nothing but a paycheck to her.” After 17 years and two beautiful daugh…

You are a married single mom. He isn't a good father if he can't do the bare minimum of cleaning up the home they live in. The fact that you work at least 5 different jobs (your salary job, mother, ho…

Being ignored is a form of abuse (so is leaving a kid in the care of abusive babysitters)

Well I have time to text. I don't have time to meet up when I have my kid. I don't want to get a sitter for a date - I don't want to put time with my kid on a backburner to go on a date with a person …

So the guy who asked me on a 4th date (that I was considering cancelling anyways), asked me my availability last week and hasn’t tried to plan anything since I gave it. So I guess maybe I’m off the ho…

Just to give you hope. My ex husband is 55. Two kids 10 and 5. We co parents 50/50 so he does get time off but we have no family so the routine is rigid without help and he’s a single had half the tim…

Your Husband is also a Parent, not the Babysitter. He doesn’t get to Call days off from caring for his own child! If he expects for you to recover more quickly then he needs to take over when you need…

You can’t control getting sick and it’s completely stupid of him to blame you for that. He’s saying he shouldn’t have to be inconvenienced by having to take care of your child. What he should do is…

I have the exact same experience. My max dose of mushrooms has been about 1.5 where the body load was unnoticeable. But I was with someone, kind of a trip sitter, so I felt ok taking a bigger dose. I…

It is awful for me as an adult to look back and realize how traumatic and sick it was for me. I was surrounded by pedophiles and perverts. Everywhere - my father, babysitters, school, church, peers, c…

Well that’s the thing, I would never want someone to change their style for me! Like facial hair to me is not a problem if it’s maintained and looks good. I mean looks good is subjective of course. lo…

I had to hire a pet sitter when I was in the psych ward in the hospital and the lady fucked up with my dog. I hope there would be more people like you taking care of their mental health before accepti…

Yes. I was the eldest of five, and relied upon as babysitter, teacher, housekeeper, among other jobs from age 8 -17. My parents were preoccupied with their own problems and I was not allowed to have p…

Why are a bunch of adults outside this (now over) relationship interfering? You aren't children. This is so incredibly inappropriate. If your mom is harassing you about this every day, I think it's ti…

Yeah I almost drowned in a pond at my bio dad's when he wasn't watching me. He raised hybrid wolves a d appointed them my babysitters. He told me once that he was working on a car and Max, the big wol…

I get this daily. She also didn't teach me to cook, clean or anything else adults need to do. I was not allowed to use the kitchen, look in the fridge, watch TV, had to spend most of my time out of th…

I had the same reaction. I’d rather pay a babysitter to help me with my chronic illness than finance a man who doesn’t care about me unless I’m sick.
