Anon's strict mom
  • I haven't really seen it since the beginning of mørketid. It's been really cloudy until today. But it tends to be visible from within the city quite often. I might be without a car soon anyway. The eu control is coming up and last time it cost almost a whole months paycheck to fix the piece of shit.

  • Do you live in Scotland? I only ask because it's a perfect description of Edinburgh buses. And there are an inexplicably large number of Finnish people in Edinburgh. Or were 15 to 20 years ago. Also there was a multiple stabbing at one of the places I lived there, and my next door neighbour had killed 3 people by cutting their throats. (Not a nice part of Edinburgh tbh, but by no means the worst)

  • My 3 year old has taken up parkour. How do I keep her from killing herself?
  • You see, driving doesn't need to be that dangerous. While the USA has 12.9 traffic related deaths per 100k my country has 2. And it's still a good analogy because the difference lies in driver education. We have special classes to teach night driving, long distance driving, rural driving, driving on ice, how to correctly install child seats, how to safely fasten loads to the roof rack etc. And that's what I'd like in this case. To equip her with more knowledge about what can go wrong and how to avoid it.

  • Oh I'm not trying to kill her enthusiasm. I just want her to do some rudimentary risk assessment. Like "if I jump off the top of my sisters bunk bed to the other side of the room, there's a chance I'll wipe out and break my leg".

    So my three year old has, since she was little, been really into jumping. I try to warn her that she could seriously injure herself, but this hasn't happened yet so she doesn't think I'm serious. But she jumps over and off anything. Sisters bunk bed to the armchair 2 meters away? No problem. Bunk bed to the floor? Sticks the landing every time. I swear my partner must have cheated on me with a f##king spider monkey.

    How do I convince her to not do the jumps that could break her ankle if she lands wrong? I'm not getting through to her. I'm happy she is physically active, but she's taking the piss.
