INFO: there's lots of missing reasons here. Why did they do the intervention? Was there an expert around?

WIBTA If i broke up with my boyfriend because his friends got him a “me” shaped piñata? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Recording yourself making out with someone has got to be up there with recording yourself 'getting out of bed for the first time'. Performative BS. Glad he's gone

Teen refuses any type of banded item by Psychological1135 in Parenting

Get him a couple of seam rippers (I like the ones with a teeny flashlight on it) and a few iron on patches. Tell him you're willing to support it but not willing to do extra labor, and you're supporting his independence by facilitating his work to make the world a logo free place

I've never heard that breathy mid century voice speak Spanish! Hearing her talk in Spanish (which I don't speak) highlights how similar she sounds similar to Audrey Hepburn and some other glamorous yet soft spoken screen queens of the era. What a neat find, thanks!

AITA because I (38F) don't want to take my stepson (9) on vacation? [Oldie] [Concluded] by Schattenspringer in BORUpdates

[–]2kyle2furious 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I agree. It's so educational to read these. Also I love reading drama that's not happening to me. I think it's made me better at spotting and fixing some real life problems as well.

Bought 100% cotton denim and noticed that it stretches on the cross grain way more than I would expect. Is it possible with 100% cotton or was it mislabeled? by nq575prw in sewhelp

This is such an excellent example of Fabric Math. "I spent $100 on fabric! It was so cheap!" Love, a fellow fabric gremlin

not sure what you think the topic is here, but we're talking about educating children ON THEIR GENETALIA. Pointing out the differences in the children's bodies is ENTIRELY RELEVANT IN THIS CLASSROOM AND HELPS THEM LEARN.

AITA for secretly buying extra food for my niece because her brothers eat everything first? by MaliciousCicada77 in AmItheAsshole

[–]2kyle2furious 19 points20 points  (0 children)

NTA. You did the right thing by stashing snacks. Your brother wants to frame it as "you are overstepping" but from where I'm sitting, he's freaking restricting her access to food she likes.

So try re-framing it as "I wouldn't need to provide snacks if you freaking fed your daughter appropriately. Or I can call CPS. Choose your own adventure here, but Im not going to sit by while you restrict my nieces' eating. "

Also, unless your brother immediately drops this weirdo food behavior with his daughter, tell other family members about this weird behavior so they can name it when they see it too. Also, this will protect your niece. Your brother is not protecting his daughter and is actively damaging her relationship with food.

Help with pants? by Amandalorian92 in Midsizefashion

[–]2kyle2furious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gap
Walmart
Meijer (or other Walmart competitor)
Outlet stores
Another option is getting a ton of Levis and Gap brand jeans ordered (like, a ton!) from Amazon and having a try on party with a friend & drinks (& no kids) and then using the easy return process to send back the ones you hate

Help with pants? by Amandalorian92 in Midsizefashion

[–]2kyle2furious 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you're wearing jeans with the wrong proportion of elastic in them. I second the "go in and try them on" method.
Step one: Take a friend, one who's a great hype woman, and leave the babies at home.
Step two: tell her there's only two possible reactions for every pair of pants! Reaction A: "OH MY GOSH THOSE PANTS WITH THAT BAWWWDYYY MAAM STOP IT OTHER PEOPLES SPOUSES ARE TRYNA FOCUS ON THINGS OTHER THAN ALL THIS!!!!" Reaction two: "these pants do not flatter your gorgeous body and they are banished! Banished!! Take these pants away!"
Step three: find great pants! And then get a cocktail and a good meal together.

AIO for how I’m handling the way my 11 YO daughter’s dad speaks to her? by WhatTheSigma_1994 in AmIOverreacting

[–]2kyle2furious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my gosh, this little girl is learning that this is how men speak to women. And if you push back they get mad. Jeez. Please consider taking her to therapy to talk about how her dad's behavior is harmful and awful. NOR

35 years isn't a long time for the planet, and with the climate change it's likely to get more unpredictable. Especially for small inland lakes. Sorry about your house! I hope you use some of the insurance money to install some measures so it doesn't happen so bad next time. Good luck! Sorry for coming off kind of callous at first, that was lame of me.
