I was visiting my sister for her birthday and she has a 18 year old son who is unfortunately a massive Andrew Tate fan and for the past couple years he’s openly been a sexist and an incel, I still love him and that won’t change but I am so disappointed in him.

I was sitting down texting my teen to make sure everything was ok at home and my nephew sat down with a meatball sub he got from Ubereats and he said “get me a coke, sl*g!” I was shocked and said to him “excuse me?” and he said that I’m a woman and that I’m supposed to get things for him since he’s a guy and that apparently that’s all women are good for then he told me to hurry up and to empathise his point he kicked my toe (I was wearing sandals and it was my sore toe so it hurt).

I was really passed off at this so I snatched his sandwich from his hands and took a big bite. He was furious and shouted “that’s mine!” And I said “not anymore now get me a coke and apologise for what you said about women kicking my sore toe and I won’t tell your mother about your attitude” he grumbled he was sorry then I took another hire and smirked at him while he was seething. I quickly finished tiff while he got my drink then I put my feet his his chair and he stormed off.

I love my nephew regardless of what happened but don’t disrespect women in front of aunt Natalie or ever. Also his sandwich was delicious.

I have a 13 year old who’ll be 14 in August and unfortunately for me my make risk staying with me for a bit because something went wrong with the pipes in her flat and my older sister faked a breakup and my younger sister is away on holiday so I’m stuck with her.

I had Sunday brunch with my teen yesterday because I want to spend time with him, get to know him and bond. I also play video games for the same reasons and he got me to play the recent Resident Evil I screamed a lot much to his frustration.

My mother said I’m raising a “soft momma’s boy” for taking my son for brunch and that I’m acting like a child for playing video games with him.

I said to her that I’m raising a big who knows his to her loves him and wants to spend time with him and that hopefully e feeling will be mutual and that she should have tried that.

I know she’s wrong but it does hurt because I want to be a good mother to my teen and because I wasn’t when he was little I always feel that I need to make it up to him and I worry that I won’t be able to.

My 13 year old took care of all the weeds in my garden so I gave him £20 and he said he’s going to buy Kraven’s Last Hunt since I said he could buy that when he turned 13.

I know it’s not as violent as something like The Boys but is it ok for a 13 year old?

He’s seen lots of horror movies and I know this might be my protective mama brain but I don’t know if I made the right call by putting the you can read it bar at 13.

I know some people are gonna role their eyes at me age restricting it for him and I know I’m a lame mother but I didn’t do it to annoy him or stop him enjoying things I’m just trying to give appropriate reading for him since the story has a man buried alive, a monster eating a woman and a suicide.

I do love Claire not only because I do relate to her a bit but also because Julie Bowen is an Angel irl. That being said I couldn’t stand how she occasionally treated Haley.

Claire obviously loves Haley and a lot of the times she’s justified in how she deals with her but there were times I couldn’t stand how she treated her oldest daughter.

The first was when she stranded her so she’d have something to write on her college essay. Not only could Haley have gotten hurt and was probably scared at being left there but she could just have lied and made up something.

The second was when she left Haley out in the garden at night. This is somewhat understandable since it was tough love to get Haley to act responsible and she was an adult a the time but if my boys are still living with me at 25 (and I know this sounds wrong but I kind of hope they will) and lose their keys I will make sure they are warm and safe in the house.

The third is all the times she makes fun of her for being stupid. This always seemed so hurtful to me and I would never want my boys to think their mother thinks their stupid and even if they are I would never joke about it.

I do love Claire because she’s a realistic mother who loves her children but is imperfect. Despite that I still wish she was kinder to Haley.m although I know she loves her a perfect example of in the episode where the family goes to Haley’s college exhibit.

A lot of people think Cam is in the wrong in most of the drama in the show but what times would you say he was in the right?

The ones I can think of are when Mitchell only put Pritchett as Lily’s last name and Tucker as her middle name instead of having her last name be Tucker-Pritchett like they agreed.

Another would be when Jay and Gloria ostracised him for benching Manny for not being good at football even though as coach it’s his job to bench the lest capable players so the team has the best chance of winning and he can’t play favourites.

We don’t get to see the OG gang interact that much but how would you say Scott gets on with the rest of his first teammates?

My take is:

Jean is obvious. They love each other and are married. While their relationship isn’t perfect they do love one another, have one of the best marriages in comics and they have a happy marriage.

Scott seems to be on civil terms with Warren although we don’t see a lot of him so there’s not a great deal to go on.

He and Beast were able to work together well in Astonishing X-Men although given what Beast has done and how many people he’s killed Scott probably doesn’t think very highly of him and would probably treat him like Emma does.

I think he gets on with Iceman despite their differences although Scott probably sticks up for Jean when it comes to the whole coming out situation.

Weird title I know.

My church does a soup kitchen and I’ve been volunteering there for a couple years and I’ve gotten my sons shoe are 13 and 7 involved and we do it once a week.

I do this because not only will it look amazing on a CV or college/university application but I want them to always remember there are people less fortunate out there.

My sons have always had such great empathy and I’ve seen it in them since they were little and that’s something I want to nurture. My oldest helps set up and close and hand out soup or cans and my youngest helps our priest with small easy tasks.

My mother found out and says I’m “forcing” them to work for free and I’m not letting them have a childhood. God forbid I get them to something once every Sunday to help people.
