That was right of her

[@DanielWright-np3fq]

When I was about 8 and slept over at a friends' house, it was great and fun and cool until after bedtime and the house was big and scary and dark and made funny noises and I called my Mom and she came to get me. It was just that one time, but from all of us scared kids, thanks Mom for always being there with the car and complete loving understanding.

[@GGoAwayy]

What if youd stayed there and learned on your own that there was actually nothing to fear? Youd have felt braver and a little less scared of the world around you.

[@DanielWright-np3fq]

@@GGoAwayy Well, that was about 55 years ago, so it seems to have worked out. If my grandkids today get a little scared, I let them know we're there for them. But I will say, I am proud when they are scared (of Doctors and such), I tell them it's okay to be afraid, but if they are afraid and do it anyway (they always do), then they are my Hero. A person who has fear and carries on has my respect, but I also understand the difference between being a youngster and an adolescent or adult.

[@heathercreates]

@@GGoAwayyNot everything has to be a lesson in bravery and toughness. instead of teaching kids that people won’t go out of their way to show them kindness and support, try being the person who will.

[@kart182]

Have you since gotten over your homesickness?

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

One of the last times I got homesickness, I was with the neighbor's family and they took me and their kids to Taco Bell. I don't know why but after the food came, I wanted out 😂 nothing I could do, I ate part of the nachos and just whimpered until we got home. I think it's just cause they weren't the warmest people.

[@CinnamonQuills]

As someone who has been an introvert with a limited social battery all of my life and as someone who had a very understanding mom who would absolutely bail me out like this if I needed it, I loved this sketch down to the bottom of my heart.

We have a code word kids can say or text and I’ll be the bad guy and make up an excuse why they have to leave. Takes the peer pressure off and lets kids save face with their friends while getting out of any uncomfortable situation. Love the creativity and love in this sketch!

[@RosaNomNom]

I was a sick kid and felt super lame telling my friends pretty regularly that I was too sick to hang out so my mum did the same thing. I'd ask her to feed the fish for me, and she'd come up with some excuse and be the bad guy. "Actually I've just remembered that you didn't clean your room! You come home now young lady!"

[@guntotingmonk]

Hey, the sketch gave you a few more excuses to try! I highly suggest, "Cicadas!"

[@MotleyShrew-iz9ms]

We have a "pretty please" phrase we use when my girl doesn't want to do thing thing get friend is asking, that way I know to make an excuse for why we can't do it n let it be on me as to why it's a "no" Also II remind my daughter often that I don't care how I look or seem to others, that, she can use me as her escape for any situation. I've rescued her from several sleepover situations & this sketch cracked me up with the excuses!

There comes a point where you just stop letting her go to sleep overs cause you need to get some sleep.

[@AndrewMacLaine]

Or let her to go to the friends house, but pre-arrange the time that she has to leave/has a house curfew. At least then the parents won't be stressed about when she's inevitably going to call!

Me too! I could never handle sleepovers at other girls houses. It was less bad when it was at my house or it was just me and my very best friend, but anything else was too overwhelming.

[@VictorB.Henrickson]

I had initially planned to retire at 62, work part-time, and save money, but the impact of high prices on various goods and services has significantly disrupted my retirement plan. I'm worried about whether those who experienced the 2008 financial crisis had it easier than I currently am. The volatility of the stock market is a concern as my income has decreased, and I fear that I won't be able to contribute as much as before, potentially jeopardizing my retirement savings.

[@LoseMike-og9in]

The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.

[@LoveFrank-cp7tv]

This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.
