Reply to comment by Odd-Gear9622 in Everybody talks about having a CO2 detector but never what to do if the alarm goes off. by kymilovechelle
Oh that’s because of a different reason then. We went over that in the military because of the in vehicle fire suppression systems and now to treat injuries from that. Yeah it’s really easy. You prevent them. You aren’t saving someone that gets a lung full of freshly deployed high pressured co2 for gas suppression. Shit. There’s rough ways to die, that’s near the top of my list. It still doesn’t kill you because of overwhelming the bodies natural ph buffers but that’s because doing that takes too long. You inhale a full blast of that stuff and your lungs die in seconds from the mass damage done by the expansion of the gas as well as the pressure change of it. It’s similar to a flash freeze. This becomes toxic to the brain as well and causes bubbles and aneurisms to form.

I worked with many different gasses for over 30 years as fire suppression/extinguishment agents. When used at proper levels for extinguishment CO2 was considered the most dangerous, once exposed the autonomous systems can have deadly consequences. Granted, most people will never be in a position to be exposed to CO2 at high percentages. My intention was to point out that CO and CO2 are both deadly colourless, odourless gas and should be treated with caution.

The amount of former children, with children of their own, who have zero concept of value toward anything beg to differ.
But also, my partner and I show appreciation for everything we do for each other daily. And usually in the moment.

Not always true, but sometimes. My 18 year old son is very vocal about what he is grateful for that I did for him. He makes me cry sometimes with a text out of the blue or a response to a post on fb talking about how much he loves me and feels lucky to have me. He's a good kid. I'm lucky to be his mom.

The pants are covered by law, so they don't need to be specified. At least that's what someone told me once.

I want to talk to someone completely blind. I'm not sure if they'd be severely less or more insightful in terms of perception.

They’re the same, though. You appreciate what your parents do for you once they stop doing it

Or the opposite. I now have a kid and I’m realizing how traumatic my childhood was and how I was legit neglected. It’s caused a lot of internal turmoil.

That sucks and I'm sorry to hear that.
Part of the reason I don't want to start dating again is because our dynamic works for now and I don't feel the need to date. She's off doing her thing. I want to spend as much time as possible with my kid. He might get more angsty and hormonal at some point, but I want to at least build that solid base of trust and communication so that he can come to me to talk if he needs to.
It sounds like your ex isn't a total POS. I don't know your situation, but I would hope you guys can work together to keep that ball rolling.
I may be totally out of line here, but if you're already living with your new bf and his kids, you've got to have a mutual partnership and understanding with him and his kids.
You're a team living in the same household. Keeping a household running has to be a team effort, imho.
I wish you the best of luck.

This isn’t a shower thought, it’s just depressing…not to mention largely untrue. Sorry you feel this way OP

Making shit up and actually creating something of value are two different skill sets.

My ex thanks me often for all I do for our kids. My present boyfriend who’s kids live with us, not so much.

My father raised 4 kids being a single parent. I’ve thanked him because I don’t think I’d be the parent I am today if it weren’t for him. I have 2, am divorced and my boyfriend and 3 of his kids live with us. A verbal thank you goes a long way. My ex husband thanks me for all I do (now) more than my boyfriend does. Just frustrated and venting lol

My ex wife didn’t appreciate everything I did house and kid wise until we divorced - and she then didn’t fully appreciate it until she moved with the kids an hour away and I went from having them half time to every other weekend.
