  • I know this is a lot more difficult than it sounds because attention is a finite resource, but giving each of them the attention they need. This does not have to be the same amount for each child but none of them should feel like the other one is getting attention when they need it.

    Most adults I know that don’t get along with their siblings felt like they were neglected compared to the other sibling(s). Whether that’s objectively true is hard to tell but it’s worth checking in with your children from time to time.












  • For what it’s worth, while there certainly are public bathrooms with stalls from floor to ceiling, the most common design does have gaps between the floor and the stall (at least here in Germany). Just not as big as the gaps in the US. You’d have to get uncomfortably close to the floor of a public bathroom to see anything. And no gaps between the door and the walls.






  • That was kinda my point. If you rely on the fact that your boyfriend or girlfriend understands you well enough that they wouldn’t do a proposal that makes you feel uncomfortable, then them doing something like that might be a deal breaker or at least not an immediate yes. Because it would make you rethink whether they really understand you. But we’re probably getting lost in hypotheticals here. As long as everyone involved in the OP was happy, I’m happy for them.

    To be fair — if I talked to my hypothetical pilot boyfriend and agreed I would marry him and then he proposes on a flight he pilots, in front of all the passengers, I might say No no matter what we discussed previously. Because that would certainly make me question the whole relationship.

    There can never be a 100% sure while the where and how to propose is still open, since it includes a lot of scenarios that range from uncomfortable to batshit insane.
