Uchi-Michi How are you doing? blaugh  I've been doing pretty well!
Mostly just doing the same as always, but that means no (or at least few) unpleasant surprises have come up, which is aces in my book, haha~
How about you?

Queen Spazzy Eh, less shouting is still good, and pity trophies are still trophies.
No fun about the hurt kid, though! Not being able to run around at that age is just the absolute pits. Not to mention how hard it must be for the others not being able to play all together like normal. I'm sure she'll heal quickly enough, though. Goodness knows one of my younger cousins did when he sliced his leg open with a machete one summer. =w=; (Kids will be kids, right?)
Don't blame you for spending so much time making sure all the glass was cleaned up, though. Leaving behind even one tiny sliver can become quite the nuisance later. (I say from experience, having had to dig a bit of glass no more than 3mm diameter from my beau's foot after he stepped on it. He left a literal trail of blood from the kitchen to the bathroom before finally deciding to call on me for help. Good thing I have steady hands and am skilled with a needle.) Couldn't agree more, better he yells less and things are all calmer. (Wish it stuck around more though, if we're forced to be stuck with them for ages.) Aye it sucks the kid got hurt but she will heal up eventually, just glad I got all the glass cleaned up before more kiddos got hurt. (Or Mike did and started shouting at everyone about it.) Oof 3mm is quite tiny but still a major pain at the worse times, glad you helped him out though. Now sadly it's been about 2 weeks they been here and we're all starting to feel that gonk emote as we want them out soon but also don't want them to be forced out really being we are 2/3 family in this household, & when it comes to finding things we still have not found Regina's wallet that disappeared on her but we are asking places she's been to if they seen it & if it ended up in the lost and found.

Yeahh, it certainly would be nice of the adult would act like an actual adult for longer than it takes the kid to heal. It's just like... "Would the children be allowed to shout like you're doing? No? Well then, seems there's a problem here."
Hah, yeah, the one time I don't insist on cleaning all the broken glass myself is the time he manages to get a tiny piece of glass embedded in his flesh. I'm always wearing socks or shoes around our place, so it just makes more sense since he usually goes barefoot, but, well, he's stubborn sometimes and refused to give me the broom. =w=;
Home hunting is like that most of the time, unfortunately, a long and drawn out process, even if you're looking to rent instead of outright buy. It took us quite a while to find a good apartment when we moved, especially since laws are kinda weird here and lessors aren't allowed to have waiting lists for potential lessees. Very annoying. And a lot of places don't list online, or only list on obscure sites, so my beau had to fly out to be physically present to find a place (since they let the one we originally had our eye on out from under us; though we ended up in a REALLY nice location, so it worked out in our favor). Oh no, if she has online banking, she should make sure there aren't any unknown charges to her account(s); if she doesn't, she'll want to go over her next statement(s) for the same. Banks put a really tight time limit on reporting thefts and charges you didn't make. (And yes, even if you live in a small town where everyone knows everyone, you should make sure of all this, people are jerks to say the least, unfortunately know this from experience, too.) Hope it turns up soon, though!

(And yes, even if you live in a small town where everyone knows everyone, you should make sure of all this, people are jerks to say the least, unfortunately know this from experience, too.) Hope it turns up soon, though! Aye he's decent at times just Mike has OCD & other things idk too well as I'm still learning about him... So I'm mixed in the middle of I get it you're stressed but you also need to relax a little cause the kids (specially the younger ones) are going to copy. I tend to go all socks in my home except lately now atm cause of the giant puppy Val. (toe bites of playful pups and happy pees do not do well with socks.) I love her but dang I wanna keep my socks specially he new-ish by now ones. xp (they're older half sibling hand me downs but i'll just take socks when low and in need.) I ******** up for myself as I made the kiddos and their parents do a behaviour game of Hogwarts and now my Hogwarts House pride is showing to me it's very strong as the house of mine fits as now I'm making evil plots to lower the other kids' points & hopefully raise Slytherin's points from a started -50 up to 0 or higher. But sadly I doubt my house with 2 kids will win cause Mieke got Slytherin & not to be mean but also coming off highly mean... She'll ******** Slytherin over the most as she can not stop herself from keeping out of trouble & their parents running the points while I'm keeping them written down and on me in many places are going to suck. (Parents are playing high ******** over, bad deeds -50 points, good deeds earn between 5 up to 50, kiddo's steal -100 points, kiddos lie TBD lost points, kiddos earn a butt whooping also TBD lost points.) Now onto why I feel bad for not only my house (Slytherin) but also Hufflepuff Mieke is in Slytherin and she keeps trying to watch TV and arguing with her siblings and parents both she isn't which causes most the yelling tbh, Tyla whom got sorted Hufflepuff is on her period atm and as her parents shared today cause she was caught so they explained it all to me when I was Mr. DILLIGAF tbh but I still listened cause good to know more all the same even if it hurts me I got family acting up like so... Mieke and Tyla both when dealing with their period will actively steal more food, snacks, drinks & give them attitude which ngl I wanted to retort "Well ******** durr!!! They're growing up, they're young women! Now I ain't saying you should allow it fully cause the stealing things bit does need to stop aye, but they're in a moody time so they'll go arguing back at you two or just about anyone as we all know, cause honestly we can all agree idk periods at all! One I'm a male & two I have no daughters yet in my life, but even I understand young girls and women in general in these times get moody. So all I ask is do recall they'll argue when in the mood try to keep mostly calm and calm them down too when they argue as arguing back just says "let's all go yell at each other to stfu and listen." to the other younger kids as they're all shouting at one another to shut up, hell your five year old adds in Shut UP and stop being an a*****e, cause he hears MIke tell the older duo that a lot." (Sucks I aint too brave to say it all to their faces some what, I honestly just minus Regina of that and mostly cause she is the Family one from day I was born and she keeps calmer and hears out things. She'll ann0y me apologizing a lot tbh but she'll still hear me out with it and try to keep things calmer.) But yeah we're doing a Hogwarts point game with kiddos getting a reward for winning house (Idk how parents will play it but imo it should go winners get the better treat losers the lesser treat ice creams or even they just get a popsicle, you know something to say you lost but also not have 95% of the kids screaming about no treat as the Ravenclaw baby wins and only baby gets ice cream. Which I don't need to see the baby being a target of upset elder siblings specially since we both share that youngest kid trait.) All same idk the parents big game plan, i just made the game simply from retorting at Aaron a lot as he wouldn't listen "Do we need to play Hogwarts!? Write all your houses and do points good acts you earn, bad you lose!? You been told to park your bum down by uncle Vinny & your momma a lot today." (Being 100% blunt we all here in the house three feel bad for those kiddos as tbh he parents are bad.)

NGL, the longer I live my life the more and more, I wish and actually start to become less of a people pleaser as I'm sick of being the nice youngest of my generation of family member's as I'm beginning to hate it all.
I got to start saying no more to questions of things I know will end up being much flipping longer as we're going two whole weeks my family been here in a house we can't hold them in really, in a town we can't let them live in a RV out in our backyard even if only for bedtime.
Not to mention we all can't have peace of our space we three were sharing alone as now 90% of the fridge & freezer is their stuff, we got no time to really cook our own meals, we got no time to rest as six children here, Mike's screaming at kids and his dog, the dog is a pit mix and Mike trained kids to copy him in if the dog acts up smack it some and he does so himself which it aint science knowing what is going to happen in the possible future due to all that.
honestly little as I am, I got to be brave enough to go someplace be it an older half sibling's home or into the place full of authorities say/share my bits I know and can get out all to fix the lives of those kids, the dogs, let alone get the adults some serious help as honestly everything is one massive dump atm.
And much as it aides me calming my mind; Complaining and venting online aint much aide to help out these things for many reasons, though again repeated they help my arse feel slight peace. xp
It's all just been a rough two weeks as we may lose Nathan as he's thinking about moving out to have his life feel back to normal again as he can't stand this happening. We lost sleep, we can't easily nap as noise of any kind from shouts of arse whooping will wake us all, Travis has a rough college start off, I got no space as my room is my niece's job center so when needed to I can not flee inside it at all, not to mention my bedding is filth cause stressed out cats messing on it but I lack the care to clean that which stressed out cats will only mess on again, and I got anxiety attacks and high stress cause of being the youngest adult of the generation of 90s kids in family I'm honestly kinda a spineless person whom is slowly growing one sure but not fast enough as would be preferred to be all "Hey we know you got issues finding things in life, but you also overstay sadly and leave us with six kiddos alone to watch, all six whom get loud and never seen a school so the teenager can't read, and the one almost a teenager is reading at really low levels. You all need help & WE ALL HERE DO NOT NEED YOU ALL HERE FOR SO LONG even if you are searching for a home while living in the RV only for bedtime as the neighbors/this neighborhood has people that soon will call in and get us fined for having you all living in out in that RV out in our backyard."

Mm, OCD is REALLY no excuse to be shouting at anyone. My compulsions are mostly tied up in anxiety and being irrationally upset, but I don't think I've ever yelled at anyone over it. Politely asked someone to indulge my weirdness, sure, but if I can't get whatever it is to be "right" it's easier, and healthier, to just... completely walk away from it than start taking my upset feelings out on someone else.
Yeahh, I get that on the socks. If you have any slip-on shoes or sandals or something, those might be a good alternative about the house. Not so annoying to deal with stepping in a piddle puddle as socks are.
Oh dear, being a biological woman myself, can definitely confirm getting upset easily and being more argumentative just comes with the womanly ills package. I always warn my beau that I'm probably going to be an absolute b***h for a week when mine comes around. And while stealing snacks and whatever obviously isn't good, I understand it. Like, even biological men should be able to understand; when you feel like garbage, you often want comfort food, foods that help you feel better in some way, it's pretty logical.
And for sure everyone should get a reward of some kind. Just have different "tiers" like maybe the winning house gets to choose something worth more, or have a base reward for everyone and then add on an extra prize for the winning tiers. Doesn't even necessarily have to be a REAL prize, maybe it's something like a "ticket" for an extra snack or dessert, or an extra amount of time for TV or playing a game. I dunno, that's the sort of system my grade school teachers used, and it seemed to work pretty well, that positive reinforcement where even if you do poorly, you still get ice cream day, you just don't get an extra toy or piece of candy to take home.
No shame in not being a complete people pleaser! You need to come first most of the time, after all, and sometimes that means telling other people to sod off for a while.
I find it a bit strange your area must apparently have some sort of regulations about people spending time in what boils down to personal property. Especially if they're in the house the majority of the time. If they were solidly living out of the RV, I'd get it, they'd probably have to have running water and some sort of sewage system for it to be legal. But they're not, in which case, it's personal property and they can do as they damn well please, in my mind. I mean, my mother and I lived like that with my uncle for years, having our personal space out in a camper but mostly staying in the house during the day, and so far as I know, it was within the bounds of the law to do so. Though of course, the sooner the clan can get into their own space the better, obviously.
I think venting online is perfectly reasonable, though! And I certainly don't mind lending a proverbial ear. Talking/typing stuff out can be incredibly helpful, and I'm perfectly willing to hash things out if it helps a bit! Sometimes just knowing someone else cares enough to listen can make all the difference.

Aye I got a minor one, no where am I organized looking at all but my own minor OCD has a system of it's own accord too where I'm all my top payed video games need to be in this order, if it's a series of games they're together close by one another, my food in freezer/fridge when just us three of house keeps in store bags as a way to show me what is mine personally in my mind now as after James Kingsford my old ex-tenant/current top on my hit list of people I'd openly fight in public if see them in a weak state even (mostly cause idk my mother well she left us when I was only five years old & all I had of her was three things A rock she painted her name on in blue after a whole heart rainbow {sure it was peeling but it was a special rock to me}, her quilt he used he stole and took with him {We now have 2/3 she ever was alive to make, I'm still more upset with the rock one}, & this one was not stolen thank the heavens but I got my mother's old state ID card along with an album of her and my father's wedding before I was born.) The rock she painted was extremely special to me because the year she made it up was also the same year she died it was a rock I learnt we painted together from stories from my family elders sharing so I'm more upset over a rock now. (And being a dark Slytherin sorted person/Cancer Zodiac guy whom one should never mess up with... I may add paint only ykw it really is if that rock is with James still if I see him anyplace with it. Only probably not really cause I do not want to tarnish my mother's rock. sweatdrop xp ) Aye I can also see the stealing bits as when I'm badly moody I steal snackish things too around the homestead unless I got my own things then I'm taking more of those. Afterwards though I feel horrible and go on long night hour walks with a pocket knife on my person just in case stranger dangers happen. (sometimes due to that I'm upset I'm still a large man cause I walk a lot of late nights, I mean sure I lost weight but I'm never happy yet still with it, especially after a stress/anxious attack snacking time. gonk ) When really bad my friend Andrew Lamb (I know many Andrews as I know four in all. Morgan {hated cause backstabbed me at my worse times}, Fast {old kindergarten pal whom we both lost touch as he got popular in high school when I got all outcast though we do count one another as pals still to this day just estranged ones as he wants to hit strip clubs and BWW while I'd be happy chilling together with a beer chatting, seeing a movie, going instead to a LARP or Comic-Con let alone a normal party with few people. I don't like the idea of a strip club not because I'm against seeing nude women specially since I'm not with a woman, but I feel strange he still goes when he has a woman in his life and wants to take me into one with him in there too... I feel all we're harming his wife's feelings.}, Fry {Another kindergarten one whom we lost touch with one another thanks to the few poor teachers whom made me turn into a delinquent as he was 100% anti delinquents even if they were to change for better.}, Finally Lamb he was a friend in Junior high in Emmett here he was another nerd turned delinquent thanks to poor teacher treatments so with common grounds we became quick BFFs tbh.) any way moving along Andrew Lamb & my other good many BFFs in my life picked up on I play the video game Bully a lot more frequently when way too anxieous/stressed/annoyed attempting to lessen my violent side irl so I DO NOT hit people irl because being in an overly religious Christian redneck family fighting got you really ******** up beatings that cause you traumas. (NGL I was happy the day my dad said he was cool if I fight them as long as they attack first, although it also made me an insulting arse so they would attack me first when it came to fights no matter if peer or bullying me staff members, hell even the head of the school got me insulting him with lines to make him strike at me first with ones like; "Oh so it's cool you call me a worthless piece of s**t child to my face and then when your boss appears you don't do that BS and you'll go lie to my father all about it so I can never win?" & "Yeah yeah I get it you're fat, retarded, and hold too much gfd power you abuse onme to feel better just cause my older than me niece caused you issues you got some self issues to solve up, but you rather be an a*****e just strike me have me strike back more in awful ways & we'll see if you ever ship me to the delinquent capital school in town you ugly sob." With bullying peers I attacked them more on the lines with sharing their dark secrets I knew from observations I done a lot being so invisible to people most times, even going far as outing myself for doing crooked scam deals of selling drugs by saying to drug abusing kids "You wanted s**t like meth, and cack I gave you some spices and flour your brain is that ******** you thought it was legit drugs I sold you I got a solid $50 cause you're poor & I'm cheap af cause I'm struggling in life with my two man family we all got issues but I'm going down here and up in the future unlike you." I was a shite. sweatdrop ) I never really saw me as a full people pleaser to others, but I got to 100% admit to it when it comes to my friends and people in my family I'm awful when it comes to pleasing people as due to life past I am a people pleaser to friends as I fear losing my friends which ain't many friends (and cause starting school as a motherless freak I had none for a long time until after the school tossed me into the special education class to separate me from the bullies I had and cause they thought I was distracting the class by tearing up thanks to the gfd bullies, even in the special ed class I had no luck until after the school consular put me inside a program called "big brothers, big sisters" Teenagers whom come down and hang out with young kids whom have rough irl issues (ticks me off when I hit junior high Mr. Carter that headmaster sob I hated whom also followed me into high school canceled that program just to spite only me cause he hated my older niece Regina for idfk why & tbh idgaf why I just know he angers me as a human being and I hope he no longer is the headmaster of EHS cause of his ways.) The people pleaser family matter comes from honestly and sadly an abusive family that'd demand you're the youngest you listen and fully obey elders no matter their "issues" which caused a lot of elder children abusing their power over younger and me being the youngest of my generation of 90's kids I'm the Hiccup's dragon of I'm fierce when need but if he (in this case it's really any of my family elders come by..) I {also travis whom is only 1 year older than me} go derp cat friendly limp & obey floor mat mode. It 1,000% sucks we're like that, but we got trauma of not doing that and getting lots of heat for it. gonk crying (I still recall even though Terry {Travis and Regina's father was fine and understanding of issues when I was having an anxiety attack after school from loads of bullies so when Terry poked me too much I got mad and yelled "Please just ******** off right now Terry I'm not in a good mood school sucked!!!" when in heavy tears, I got five a** beatings which is why tbh I feel I'm worse than Travis is at times about these matters as anyone mad towards me I slump, I stutter I mumble, I freeze, I stop trying to speak at all and just accept they're pissed off at me. Hell I got such bad trauma's of that I legit feel like most times when s**t goes wrong it's always my damn fault as I'm cursed.) I'm extremely grateful for all the few whom will let me vent out and chat with me as yeah... rough past and rough-ish present has me going all into a giant mess but also overly tough person in due time. I just really wish that this locked inside and slow coming out toughness came a little faster than it is coming out. gonk As although it's fine I do small burst it's also kinda dangerous for someday I will legit snap badly if really badly poked and it will not be pretty sites, if I CAN however unlock it faster to be bold enough to say more I'm not okay with some things more it'd be great & I hopefully woudn't blow up. sweatdrop Example atm I want to badly say how I feel their hogwarts game with points is fair but also not fully... as scoring wise if their youngest baby Mabel poops or pees in the toilet over inside her diaper it's +100 points NO OTHER CHILD HAS A WAY TO EARN +100 POINTS the max high score is a good deed if really needed done they can earn anywhere of +25 up to +50 as it's two parents/elders helped. A good thing they done is they are not letting VInce do his rule as it's 100% ******** and unfair as Vince says if a child hits -500+ end of the day they are spanked and fully expelled from game and never can get the prize ever again. Thank heavens Mom and Step-dad say a big "NO they will reset the kid to 0 points (so far it's just Aaron whom had that happen just today DAY 1 of two weeks of game they playing, I got anxious from the scoring today so I took some G-Fuel of my nephew's to drink and calm as after they all went to bed I was shaking from the anxiety of I was marking Aaron down a lot today all negative 50's with him earning up to -100 once just for a gfdi Vince demand that gave the anxiety attack of drop his score a whole -150 simply cause Aaron did not sit back down ASAP as Vince wanted when it was just me and VInce in the room so I had to do it to please VInce just to make him calm his BS mostly (I gave Aaron good boy points later that were too high for deeds he did as I felt bad for the kid thanks to VInce.) still in the end when mom and dad were out more he still hit that -500 going down to -515, but tomorrow he's starting at 0 points for Gryffindor kid. {He's the only kid in Gryffindor like the baby is the only kid in Ravenclaw.} As for my house kids those in Slytherin I have always blamed eldest child MIeke (which ******** angers me as anything negative she does all three ******** really s**t her down points and it pisses me off & I was never the oldest child I just know the eldest ones get dumped on & it upsets me.) & I got their middle child Allianna (Kitty for her nickname.) thanks to parents Kitty is mostly carrying the victory of Slytherin's right now. The Hufflepuff's side I also feel bad for as it has the other middle child Minna & the second to eldest Tyla whom again all three of those damn adults s**t on a lot... (the adults they are anger me it's like gfdi give your eldest a break you're showing to them you got favorites and it's making them act up more & get in your way more as you drop them the ******** down and they all wanna get on your good nature they bug you too much as they do not want a** beats, but you are dropping them down a lot JUST LIKE WITH YOUR ONLY SON!!!) Worse of all the points flux, if an adult of the trio is in a piss mood the scores go higher on negative earnings and lower on good deed earnings. xp The baby isn't 100% safe but she also has that major point boost of if I'm honest mommy and daddy are both in sorted Ravenclaw's too so if baby poops or pees in the toilet and didn't lie about it she shoots up +100 so before she got slammed down a good -125 she'd still be third place atm but she would have 360 points atm not 235. (So yeah I am anxieous due to the scoring game here they are playing & I legit have the duo kids in it houses having separate scores so no innocent middle kids get a** whoops even if imo the elder two in Slytherin and Hufflepuff getting targeted most times also DO NOT DESERVE JUST CAUSE THE TRIO HAVE ******** ISSUES WITH THEM!!! (Like I understand some things like yes let's not argue loudly when my tenant/roommate Nathan is asleep for working & Travis needs rest for EMT schooling & working at the bar as a doorman, but same time also they all three got to chill out for they're creating Mieke, Tyla & Aaron's desperate moves to be so unhinged as you drop them more than the other kids for their bad actions as if they have any bad deed those three get more -50 to even a high -150 where the other thee kiddos get only a -25 only...) now i got to work up calming me down to explain to travis as he is a year older I only stole some G-Fuel as I was too anxious tonight even though before he told me he doesn't mind long as I do not go taking way too much from him or having it inside my room cause of an anxiety/stress episode. xp (also though I know we may all mostly be older teens and adults here on gaia I still am going to say sorry I get stronger with language when in moods badly; It's what I know for bad mood elders all in my life got "wordy" so I get "wordy" though I also tend to go overboard more thanks to my delinquent era of mine as town delinquents here were mainly bad words extremists more than fights for a small huge filled with rednecks town.) Honest in all my delinquent school times I think I fought only a solid twelve times in all of three years of junior high and high school combined when in school grounds with just five being a sneaky jerk moment of mine as I was there aiding friends/students in their fights, or attacking my bullies when they are bullying another student/friend extremely hard so they daze and do not know whom done it. (some I legit honestly stabbed mostly in the arms with pocket knives but those moments were outside of school grounds so not really school fights, but being with school kids IF WE COUNT THEM I had more fights with other delinquent peers that were all anti my small groups for they bullied us & those numbers would rise a solid thirty more as curfew breaking peers came at us at times and we got nasty in past curfew hours especially if it was Andrew Lamb and Myself walking his dog Wishy as we had us beat them down bad together & let Wishy pee on their wounds if he had to badly pee.) I wont say I'm 100% glad for those times but I also wont say I'm 100% sorry as even though we delinquents made kids were awful we also became decent adults for most of us and are pals now. (minus the few whom kept up being bad as adults they ended up locked up we changed our ways ones tend to avoid them though we feel bad they ended up falling so badly. sad Life is a wild rollar coaster and ngl I fear how afterlife is going to go when I'm there... i legit feel I'm not ever going to be going to heaven ever but that's mainly my flaw of self hating myself a lot and feeling like a waste on Earth to people.)

I honestly feel I'm bring up to the trio of adults the Mabel +100 points thing to see if other kids can get a secret +100 points booster too, all so fairness is there.
Even if it's just Aaron gets a +100 booster seeing as Aaron is only Gryffindor when Mabel is only Ravenclaw.
But if they are going to do solo points for kids earn them the whoopings or prize thing, then highly yeah do more of the +100 for all kids cause it is unfair if only Mabel has the +100.
I legit get wanting your own Hogwart's House to win (Slytherin people got high pride for our house we have it down in our house traits.), but if it's also all one sided... they're pulling a Gaia for nicer wording. (aka as we all know it's one team gets more benefit then the rest.)

Oh, I'm not organized in a traditional sense, either! But everything has its place to me, and if it's not the way I think it should be, I have to "fix" it. I'm also weird about, like, what number the television or radio volume is set to, and get really anxious about things that I know are silly (like stepping on cracks in the sidewalk). I also can't stand it when people leave the little leftover strip in the binding of a notebook after tearing out a page. I, uh, would literally take classmates' notebooks in high school to take those leftover bits out of the binding. cat_sweatdrop (The ones I did it to were cool about it, though, thankfully! They actually appreciated it.)
That's exceedingly awful that he stole important things like that! Not gonna lie, I'd probably fight him, too, if it happened to me. Like, I only have a very few things that once belonged to my maternal grandmother, whom I never met as she died just after I was born, and if anyone stole them, even though they're all just silly things like a small sewing kit and a little porcelain bunny, I would definitely be willing to indulge in violence over it.
I'm an awful person, I don't remember regretting stealing foods I knew were there for someone else in particular unless the adults yelled at one of the other kids or my mom over it. ^^; 'course, my ma and I never particularly got on with my uncle's now ex-wife, so I'd relish in inconveniencing her or her family when they visited. >>; (Though I was typically... absent when her mother would visit; she was an awful person, my mom almost threw down with her on her first visit because she locked me out of the house and then had the gall to b***h about the noise I made having to climb through the sliding door that didn't have steps up to it and because my bedroom door, which was busted and sat crooked in the frame, literally could not be opened or shut without making noise. Was safer for all of us if my ma and I just... weren't around while she was there.)
Oh, yeah, I get the family bit, my extended family are much the same way about the younger always listening to the older. Plus all of the "you have to love your blood kin even if they suck" that was drilled into all of the kids. It took me a LONG time to get past that shite and stop bending over backwards and jumping through hoops trying to please people I'll simply never be able to please. Though I still freeze and get irrationally upset when someone is angry or vocally displeased with me. Sometimes you just have to coexist with your trauma, I guess.
Hm, well, sometimes things just can't be forced, but I'm sure you'll get there eventually if you just keep trying to a do a little better at being whatever "tough" is to you day by day! Perhaps you could suggest giving the other kids daily "house challenges" that give that same 100 point bonus as the youngest can get, I think that would help even the odds.
DEFINITELY good they didn't go with that expulsion from game rule. That's just super unfair, and if you let them stay in the game they at least have incentive to try to do better, whereas if you kick them out of the game, they have no reason for that and all the reason to be worse, even, since it obviously won't affect their outcome anymore. I also kinda feel like maybe certain people shouldn't be allowed to make final calls on point deductions, but I don't think there's any way to bring that up that doesn't lead to fallout of some variety. cat_sweatdrop And the favoritism is also a clear problem, but, again, no way to really come out and say that without someone getting hurt over it...
And don't worry about the strong language! I can curse up a blue streak with the best of them. I just try not to do it too much here because I don't want to scare anyone off. Doesn't bother me a whit, though! There are even some studies that suggest cursing can help reduce stress and tension.
I was too much of a creampuff to fight when I was in school. Even someone speaking meanly to me directly would make me freak out. I would get my revenge in... subtle, esoteric ways. Well, that or one of my feistier friends would go after them. Not that I ever outright asked anyone to do so, but apparently they found it worth it to protect their token soft and smol friend.
Oh, I DID slap a guy pretty hard once, though that was outside of school. He said something that made me so angry I could hardly breathe, so I hauled off and smacked him. Rushed off directly after to hide out behind the building and work myself down from an impending panic attack, but I DID still hit the guy. cat_xd
And I wouldn't worry too much about the afterlife. So long as you repent, you should still wind up in Heaven. Just remember, the only person Jesus guaranteed a place in Heaven to was a criminal that accepted Him as his Lord and Savior and repented of his sins. So the odds are in your favor!

Made some bangin' cookies a couple days back.
With masa! (Corn flour, for those unfamiliar.)
I don't currently have any normal flour. cat_sweatdrop But I wanted to bake something, and corn flour is still flour, and since I've used garbanzo flour to great effect in cookies before, I figured that was the best place to start.
One internet search later and I have quite possibly the easiest cookie recipe since shortbread (which is just butter, sugar, flour, and whatever flavoring you want in them).
The actual recipe called for half cup maple syrup, one cup corn flour, quarter teaspoon salt, half teaspoon baking powder, and half cup unsalted almond butter. Buuut I threw half that out the window and subbed honey for syrup (because we don't really use syrup in our household, but I ALWAYS have honey), and skipped the salt and swapped the almond butter for salted peanut butter (because, again, we don't often have almond butter in the home, but I always have peanut butter because it's cheaper). The recipe also says it makes 12 cookies, but if you go with that, they're BIG chonky cookies. If you go for a more conservative, normal, tablespoon-ish size, it'll probably make 18 or so. As it was, I still had a baker's dozen of cookies the size of my palm.
Honestly, you could probably sub any liquid sweetener for the the syrup, like agave nectar, a simple syrup, even a light caramel sauce if you're feeling up to the anxiety-inducing task of lightly scorching sugar. And any nut or seed butter should do in place of almond butter. (Again, skip adding salt if you're using one that's already salted, and tell anyone that says you HAVE to use unsalted anything in baking to take a hike.)
Anyway, yeah, corn flour peanut butter cookies! Sounds weird, but they're FANTASTIC, and cheap, AND gluten free! Seriously, though, my beau doesn't really like peanut butter cookies that well, and half the batch disappeared in one night, so you know they're tasty.
(Oh, and if anyone actually wants to bake these since I listed out the actual measurements; put them in the oven at 375F for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown!)

I wont detail too much as just happened and i'm in a mood. but can say legit first time ever i've considered actually killing people & ment it in my dark mind now. (course after 3 weeks of them & things said against us WHEN THEY ARE IN HOME OF MINE course my mood is south, far south.) *so far south in mood my video games I play to calm me down isn't even calming me down; I start, do a few things, then I don't even save & just drop out of the game. It's especially fun when they got one fecker whom is supposed to help you watch kids whom does jack shite all day but game on his nintendo switch and sleep, bu then when the P.O.S. does do something it's after you just gave the feck up for no kids listen to you anymore anyways and he can get brownie (or as I call them s**t now) points with Mike the kiddos step-daddy so he's upset with me & tbh now I want to murder both Vince (the does s**t then tattles at worse hours of life.) & Mike cause it's really fun to get your own a** chewed out any amount in your own home you legit didn't even want them in but they came crashing down into cause they needed a damn place to stay.
