Wait till ya hear what they did to dairy farmers

As it stands now, I donate/give away about 20-30% of what I produce, sell 30% and keep the rest. That’s why it’s something I do on the side, not my main income. Food stuff ends up at a pantry I like or with friends/family. Most of the wool goes to a lady from my church who makes stuff. I’d kind of like to learn more about doing the latter myself. Realistically though, I don’t really want to dedicate the time or bandwidth to it lol. I’d like to expand my current pickeling/canning setup and expand the space I use for vegetables. It’s a balance though. I want to keep it relatively small so because I don’t want to be a full time farmer. I’d like to get better at keeping bees and keep more, it’s hard to get them through winters. I could keep going on the little things I want to do for days. As well as the things I don’t because I know they’d get away from me. I definitely don’t want to end up putting my lady in a situation where she has to help out more just because I had an idea I couldn’t keep up with. But anyway, at it’s core, my vision for it is simple. Create high quality, clean food/products and always give away enough to make an impact. Apologies for the rambling I’ve been up for like 30 hours at this point.

Absolutely appropriate, glad I’ve been able to earn the title.

Yes and I loved it. Thanks!

Farming is the side gig, mechanical engineering is my actual job. Work a cogen plant now.

Good thing?

Hopefully I’ll be able to pass my little farm to someone willing to keep my vision for it going. Idk if I’ll have kids but that would be a pretty good avenue if they want. If not maybe sell it to someone I trust when it becomes too much for me. Secondary to that, if I get to be a nuclear engineer in my state that would be pretty sick.

Rule 6 bud, on top of cringe.

Fantastic answer

Yeah that all tracks.

I drew that

I can agree with that

Finally, some good news.

Yeah, I hear you, it sounds like a really aggravating situation. I know it’s hard but realistically the only position you have is ensuring your kids safety. If the kid’s uncle wants to pull back support because his sister is pissing him off, that’s a dickhead move. Punishing the kid’s future because his sister isn’t acting how he wants is a pretty wild decision. All you can do is be a good parent and if your ex chooses not to be, you have a responsibility to adress that. Even if your ex is in a shitty codependent relationship, if it doesn’t hurt your kid then its completely irrelevant to you. You said something that would absolutely hurt your kid though. Trying to tease out details they can’t understand puts them in a terribly confusing position. Talk to the adults about this keep this at the adult level unless you find out otherwise. The last thing you want is to instil distrust and fear in the kid if its all smoke no fire. Sounds like talking this out would be beneficial for you. You can always dm me but all I can do is listen and give my ignorant opinion. If you don’t see a professional I personally would work on obtaining the resources to do so. I can try to help with that in dms if you want. Stay strong and get the fuck out of your head bud.

Firstly, take anything I say with a gorilla fist sized grain of salt. I’m not a professional or expert outside of some trauma informed care education and anecdotal personal experience. Anyway, it doesn’t sound like abuse from what you’ve explained so far. It sounds like your ex is in the infatuation/honeymoon phase and that bothers you. I say this with as much compassion as possible, thats a you problem. Now, if as a direct result your child’s care is impacted, thats where it becomes an issue. Outside of that, she’s got the right to act how she wants, including level of communication with you. Again if that lack of communication is leading to a negative impact on your kid, you absolutely have a responsibility to address that in as direct a way as is possible. Ideally through a conversation, maybe with as close to unbiased mediator as possible. Last resort may mean involving a serious third party like lawyers. Your kid’s wellbeing is paramount here, your ex is an adult and I haven’t heard any extreme signs of abuse. I personally don’t see it as being your place to be involved on any level that isn’t strictly in your kids best interest. Again, I’m a stranger on the internet with no major level of expertise just empathy for a frustrating situation you’re dealing with. I’m sorry this is happening.

This sounds particularly messy. Is there any reason you can’t be extremely direct in your next conversation with the ex? Bring up all these exact things. Not in a are you being abused way. In a “hey I’ve noticed some things and I just wanted to check in on them”. Frame it around yourself/the kid and your concern not around them and the potential situation you perceive them to be in. Your kid is involved so you have a reasonable cause for concern. Do you have reason to believe the new person is unsafe in any way, especially in the context of being around your kid? Dr. John Delony has a call in show where this kind of thing is a frequent topic. Some of his content on youtube might be helpful in learning how to frame hard conversations. He is a highly qualified and experienced expert, advice given is professional grade not some youtube grifter. If you speak to a therapist, asking them how to approach the situation is also a viable direction.

Tell me about the meme and your question.

That tracks, particularly for .ml communities. I don’t think it has anything to do with women, as the OP is pointing to though.
