That's so sad. I don't think anyone would have felt dissed by a little kid emulating a character. What, would they think a four-year old who admires the character would somehow be a racist or a cultural appropriator for this? Then Disney shouldn't make any movies with characters who are of any actual race or culture. Make all the princesses purple aliens from space--and bald, so that no white people get upset about some other race's hair style being appropriated.

No.

I love mine, I cook all the time in it. There is an easy learning curve,now I hardly ever need a recipe to follow. (Vegan 10 years instant pot user for 2). I also have a rice cooker. http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/tag/pressure-cooker Not all fat free ^^^ http://myplantbasedfamily.com/instant-pot/

If you eat whole grains or dried beans, you'll freak out at how fast they cook in this. :) I make so many meals in mine!! Here's a few examples of the kinds of foods you can make easily. http://instantpoteats.com/15-instant-pot-vegan-recipes-that-everyone-will-love/

No, you're right, I don't. I am just giving my opinion on the information in this thread. I have no idea how to find the other threads, and seem to be the only one with a differing opinion, so I shall bow out. I hope all works out well for OP and her family.

Perhaps she wasn't taught by her parents to keep things clean, or she has ADD or something similar that makes it more difficult for her? I'm assuming she's a young adult, maybe she needs more specifics, help in learning these life skills. I guess it's too late to do this in her father's house, is her mother still in her life? Maybe even the grandparents who spoil her would be willing to work with her. I just feel sorry for her; she must feel like such a failure deep inside, even if she doesn't show it. I mean, to have to leave your family home because you don't clean? With so much danger and sadness in the world, it must seem kind of petty to her. I'm sure there is more to the story, like she probably doesn't work or go to school. If that's true, then she needs help because things will start to seem hopeless, and that does not lead to good things. I didn't mean this to sound so harsh. I've already raised my kids, the older of whom is wonderful, brilliant, beautiful, successful, loving--and still messy after all these years. So I guess I was picturing her in this situation. Best wishes to you and your family, OP.

I love this. Mine are adults now, and we are the best of friends. We never really had much teen vs parent conflict, either.

My now adult son will only wear cotton, hemp, or bamboo. He gets itchy and sweaty from anything polyester.

If you want to pull her out soon, remember she will need some time to decompress (do they still say deschooling?) so you'll have time to plan the rest of her school year.

I pulled my daughter out of middle school for bullying. She had been homeschooled for grades 1-3, then to a good public elementary. Then sixth grade. :/ The girls in middle school were brutal. Dd is thin, and they called her anorexia girl, put notes in her locker with pictures of starving kids, etc. Dd was chewing her nails off and had stomach aches. One day my daughter retorted, "Well if you weren't so fat, maybe my size wouldn't bother you so much." The other girl told the teacher, and we all had to come in for a conference, where they implied my daughter was a bully, and wanted her to apologize to the girl. Ds began to, and I stopped her. I asked the principal when my daughter would be getting apologized to for being called anorexic and skeleton, etc by this same girl and her group, which I had reported numerous times to this very principal. I had brought the notes and pictures with me, and laid them on the desk. The principal told me that since thin was considered acceptable in our society and fat was not, that they were two different things. I pulled her out that day, and wrote a long letter to the board of education. Dd is now 28 and still thin, but has not had any eating disorders. (Sad that I have to actually say that.)

Is the trash they left something like food scraps or dirty dishes? If it's not, I'd shut the door of the room and wait until the offspring had a place to live. If it bothers you, box up the stuff and clean the room. This is your dh's adult child, I'm assuming from the other comments? In a million years, I would not throw out his/her things. The world is a difficult place for young people today, and your dh's heart must ache knowing his son/daughter is out there with no home. Mine aches, and I don't even know him/her.

Gorilla tape is more water resistant, I'd use that.

'Let the deer leap around gracefully recipe?' You could still post the photo on your Facebook... ;)

:mic drop:

It could be a muscle spasm, they are common in the lower back. Ice on/off for 15-20 minute cycles. Use frozen peas or a cloth with icepack. You can use heat alternating later on, 48 hours after. Take some ibuprofen or other anti inflammable (with food.) Chocolate helps ;)

I just use a magic bullet blender and a sharp knife

Cranberry sauce, dressing, mashed potatoes, sweet potato pie.

Some of his symptoms could point to low hemoglobin/hematocrit. Did he have much blood loss? Is his pulse rapid? I would make an appointment with the surgeon's or pediatrician's office for Monday. If he runs a fever, to the ER.

And married off to a child, so that the mom can move in with the couple and continue running her son's life, is my guess. Eta: and maybe help take care of the grandparents as they age

My husband, adult son, and I have been vegan for a decade+, and we are all normal bmis. Why do I feel I have to defend myself for not eating animals? It's so bizarre.

I want to be you now.

I stopped cutting my hair when my father died (not sure why, started out from the depression then, I suppose). My sister or I trim the ends; it's straight and easy to braid or bun. I stopped wearing mascara, it always bothered my eyes. Stopped eating meat and dairy ten or so years ago.
