  • I think it's reasonable to ask, but manage your expectations.

    I don't know if you have your own children, but they're a lifelong commitment. When they need you as a parent you have to be there. Your husband knows his son's needs and it sounds like he's doing a great job of helping him heal. Conversely, keeping the son away could lead to feelings of hopelessness...'if I can't rely on dad, I have nobody'.

    This may be the difference between a short term sharing of your husband's time (though not as short as you'd like) and an ongoing situation that creeps up when you'd hoped it was long since done. If that's too much for you, maybe you're not right together.

    If COVID originated from a lab in China, do you think they should be penalized for it?

  • Honest question--why are so many people quick to dismiss the possibility that the coronavirus leaked from the Wuhan lab?

    AFAIK the consensus is that COVID-19 originated in Wuhan. The same Wuhan that has a lab which had been studying coronaviruses for years prior to the outbreak.

    Some folks vehemently dismiss the idea that the lab could be the origin point, but why? What makes them so sure that this would have been impossible?

  • What's a phrase or saying that you learned from your parents that you don't hear others saying?

    Jump

  • I remember a similar one from the 90s. If someone stumbled someone else inevitably would say "walk much?". Or with a traffic mistake "drive much?".

    It evolved into just anything that came into someone's head, like if someone had a premonition "Nostradamus much?"

    I'm glad it died.

    What happens if you cry back at a baby, do they ever figuratively become the adult in the room and stop crying?

    Jump

  • You might get a momentary pause of confusion, but the baby will know you're faking and may start angry crying

  • What's a really popular TV show you just couldn't get into?

    Jump

  • On my second try I enjoyed it...until the final season.

    The show probably got different writers at that point. Whatever happened, everything previously built was just scrapped. It's like they made a list of random outlandish ideas, then shuffled and tried to connect them.

    If they had brought it all home it would have been a good, offbeat kind of show.

  • Who is an actor you can't stand, but everyone likes?

    Jump

  • Julianne Moore. I just don't buy her acting to the point that it breaks the immersion with everything she's in. So I don't watch anything she does.

  • So there are lots of good answers, but there's one I haven't seen: The type of shower control in the photo is probably low quality, cheap, meaning the internal parts do a poor job of mixing the hot/cold water.

    Adjusting the water heater may help, but you might also consider upgrading the shower faucet.

  • What are some of the craziest censorship instances on TV shows you have seen?

    Jump

  • I remember when Young Guns aired on a cable channel in the 90s there's a scene at the climax when Billy the Kid actually says "Murphy, you son of a bitch..." and shoots the baddie in the head.

    So this cable channel edited it for him to say "Murphy, you sorry old buzzard...". But the headshot was still intact because this is America.

  • Buyer's remorse is such a strong taboo that it leads people to defend things in their lives which harm them. Can anything be done to start countering this?

    Jump

  • That's true, but there's not always an easy way out and criticism for bad choices probably isn't going anywhere.

    Consequences aside, people are so susceptible to perceived benefits that they'll set aside their morals and values. Obviously this is not every person out there, but I think most of us have anecdotal examples in our lives and in ourselves.

    I first noticed the compromise within myself years ago. It's easy to give a firm NO to extreme changes, but if the changes come a little at a time acceptance can set in. I've striven to recognize this tendency at the outset of a choice and stay firm, but it's still an everyday battle...same as with anyone else. I'm not sure most people recognize that there is a battle of choices to manage.

    So it's Sunday morning and I'm starting to ramble, but I appreciate your reply and I hope we can collectively find exit ramps for troubled folks out there.
