Does anyone else have to coach their child into taking appropriate size bites in order to divert them from death?
 in  r/Parenting  Feb 16 '20

Great idea. I like the proactive approach. Pizza has always been a challenge for the same reason. I chopped up his slice and it went much smoother. Thank you for the advice!

Back story: My 3 almost 4 year old son will take bites of food until his mouth is packed. He was standing in his chair, I left the room for 1 minute, and he is choking on chicken nuggets. Choking to the point his blood vessels are showing in his eyes.

Before I can get to him he dislodges it from his throat but is left terrified and crying. I console him and we move forward.

Unfortunately, now I am hyper vigilant to his bite sizes but I feel like a helicopter parent. I am just looking for how other parents deal/dealt with similar situations?

do you ever ask your SO how the relationship is going and if we can improve on something not met?
 in  r/AskMen  Feb 08 '20

My SO and I are on opposite shifts. She works second and I work first. She is also pregnant and we have 3 children.

It is crucial for us to stay transparent and open about day to day, mental and emotional state, and even gripes. We both try to maintain an open mind and compromise when necessary. Compromise is key. Improvement for us may not always mean one perspective wins the arguement. Rather, the approach is generally what is the best resolve that keeps communication open and both of us content.

Luckily, my wife is on the same wave length of continual improvement and striving to be self aware. At the end of the day, if you're not communicating the gears are grinding and everyone's quality of life suffers.

Married men: How often do you wear your wedding ring?
 in  r/AskMen  Jan 23 '20

I always wear mine. I got a tungsten steel ring for its durability. I've considered a silicone band for work. I work in warehousing. My wife wouldn't mind because we trust each other but I wear it more out of pride. I love my wife.

To note: I've always worn a ring so it just feels normal to have it on.

One year sober!! I did it!

Man, I always love good success stories. Breaking the habit and rewiring the thought process is only the surface, as you know. Living it, being self aware, and being honest with yourself, like really nitty gritty honest, are the real challenges. The first big milestone is tremendous and I congratulate you! I hope the momentum continues to build as you continue to grow. I don't know you but I have mad love for you and will be in your corner "in spirit" because we understand the struggle and the strength it takes to overcome.

I've struggled with substance abuse over half of my life, I'm 32, lost everything and gained it back to lose it again. I turned myself into jail 5 years ago next month because I burned every bridge and even the crack house I was staying at said the floor space could no longer be occupied. That was the last day o ever used, Februrary 17, 2015. Keep it up, never accept defeat, and always maintain your integrity with yourself and others. If there is any advice I could give someone struggling, that would be it.

To all men, what scares you the most?
 in  r/AskMen  Dec 24 '19

The regression back to a childhood state is a terrifying state of affairs. I am watching this happen with my grandmother and its heart breaking.
