  • since she’s a girl what she studies/does professionally isn’t important as she should just do what she loves since “she can just find a good husband to take care of her”.

    Anyone saying this is wrong, but a parent saying this about their own daughter is deeply disturbing to me on so many levels. I’m so sorry you’re going through this.

    Seems like a deeper issue - there’s not just your daughter with a problem, there is also her father. Maybe to try couples’ counseling with your husband first?

    I still have a similar one. It’s a vertical metal rod on a wooden base and a wooden ball on top. There’s a ring that can slide along the rod. The ring has a tiny woodpecker figure mounted on a spring. With the ring in the top position you pull the bird and it starts pecking on the rod, moving the ring downwards with each peck, making that boinging & ticking noise. I used to love it as a kid. I still do. But I used to, too.

    EDIT found a video of this exact one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Szhxh1eEEL4
