Hi Rihana, I used to think being an educated and financially independent are enough to walk out from any defective marriage. Recently I understood that they are so many other things influence why a woman stays in that dysfunctional marriage. @DDream's detailed post (#116) in Am I Doing Something Wrong ? makes us to not to judge any women's plights to come out from a unhealthy marriage. I had seen that @Laks09 already nominated that post. Still I would like to nominate it from my side too.
@Rihana - We love to compare and contrast. Especially the celebrities. I read a ton of comments about the youngest British Prince's behavior with him mother during the Queens platinum jubilee celebrations. He's four but since he's a prince, it's not just that one moment between mom and son but it's in everyone's radar. Such is the trouble of being a celebrity. The privacy intrusion starts early and is often relentless. @Ruby2019 has posted a response here regarding celebrity women and their relationships Nayan’s Wedding Look Even if we do know everything about somebody's life, they are living it, not us. We simply don't have the capacity to judge. We all have our own thresholds, nobody can really say what is good vs what is not. This sentence really says it all. I would love to nominate Ruby for FP for this post!
My pyari Rihana My next nomination is @DDream's reply to @moonLight's post Extremely Distressing And Humiliating Behavior By Husband
Babies come with no manuals. As they grow, children of each new generation present to parents a totally updated set of challenges. We turn to parents around us for help. Thank you @iyerviji for bringing this post by @anika987 to FP. The responses in it benefit all parents who read the thread. 9 Year Old Extreme Stubbornness And Tantrums..please Help! Very true.
Sometimes in the Relationship forum, we tend to judge an OP if she is still hanging on to a bad marriage. We throw out responses like: "You are setting a bad example ...", "I would never stay in such a marriage ...", "That would be a deal-breaker for me...", "What are you teaching your child by staying in this marriage?" @DDream in her response explains the agonizing choice a woman or parent can face about divorce when young kids are involved. Am I Doing Something Wrong ? If raising a kid under one roof with a person is challenging, raising that child under two roofs with that same person can be even more challenging or maybe even undoable. A post filled with many thought-provoking points by @DDream. Two such: Shared custody works only if both parents actually spend their parenting time with their kids and there is no conflict. I feel that when a woman is ready to leave a marriage, that decision will be so evident to her and she is not going post a question on a forum.
Thank you @joylokhi and @Mistt for seconding the nomination. DDream's response shows just how difficult a decision it can be whether to continue or leave a bad marriage.
I am doing a lot Of communication very calmly with my child. It seems to calm her down considerably and end the tantrums pretty quick. Not a day has gone by without me mentally apologizing to my mom for the tantrums I did when I was a kid. Kudos and special pedestal to all us mothers..the patience we need is mind blowing
A light and delightful narration by @Balajee: Cycling Recycling Thank you @maalti for bringing this to FP. I came across a use of the PYT acronym after a long time. Nice to see an acronym and not have to google it. The snippet reminded me of many cycling related memories and skills that were mastered or not in childhood.
We have just 10 more days left in the month. We have received just 6 nominations in 20 days. At this rate we may end the month with just 9 nominations. That will be a fatal blow for this vibrant contest. Are you going to let that happen?
