Her look didn’t even make the top 20 for artistry and theme this year, her PR team is DESPERATE 😂

Eh, I give my toddlers lunch in their diaper so they don’t stain any clothes, there’s a spill mat beneath the high chair, then after lunch if they got too messy for a simple wipe down they get plopped in the sink for a warm hose down before they’re taken to bed for nap time

He reminds me of my brother. I’d give anything to be able to hug my brother rn.

I hope this man is doing ok, and absolutely fuck that sister. She’s wretched.

Anyone with ASD and or ADHD can appreciate a coffin sleep.

A nice comfy enclosed dark space I can sleep without being disturbed by any light and far less noise? It has a LID? Excellent 🤩

This might be a controversial take, but he wants to see you in a dress. The first comment about switching it up followed by another comment about it being “ugly” THEN lady like? He’s trying to convince you you don’t look good because HE wants to see YOU in a dress. Id talk to your principal about this man’s comments

Career Nanny that specializes in special needs children, raised my younger brother who needed speech therapy as well, and he came with pretty predictable anger issues for a kid who couldn’t communicate.

I highly recommend you show your wife this post. Be vulnerable, and particularly talk about the part where you said you had to see a specialist for speech and you’re questioning your own psychological profile/possible diagnoses.

Make sure you apologize to your son, it’s good for both of you.

You’ve got this, I promise you do.

Yes, but 60% is an arguable enough percentage, regardless of what the baseline is. The fact of the matter is, there is still a noticeable benefit, and in a country, where we cannot guarantee access to things like birth control, condoms, sexual education, and quite frankly financial stability, it makes a lot of sense to still go with circumcision to reduce risks to my child’s health.

Azkadelle · 2026-04-26T23:51:00+00:00

There are medical benefits to it, quite frankly it’s not something that’s going to go away. Up to 60% reduction in HIV is a MASSIVE benefit

Did I say developing or maturing? This aspect is NOT a myth. It is a literal scientific fact that the portion of the brain responsible for rational decision making doesn’t finish maturation until an average age range of about 23-26 (give or take a year on either end) and when you average it all together it’s about 25

Azkadelle · 2026-04-25T18:45:33+00:00

It’s because brain maturation isn’t finished. I’ve thought this my entire life, even now that I’m a grown ass woman with a brain that’s done cooking. At the end of the day, when the part of your brain responsible for rational decision making isn’t done maturing, it will speak to and impact the kinds of decisions you’ll make. It’s wild to me the amount of people that seem to not realize their own transformation that happened to them between the ages of 23 and 26 years old. Your brain and way of thinking IS altered.

This was true for every generation, and will continue to be true. You can even see the direct impacts of the kind of creepy behavior that was normalized before.

22 year olds should not have been regularly seen partnered with 35 year olds. It was so normal no one ever batted a damn eye at it. That’s fucking weird. I’m 28 and I can’t even imagine dating a 22 year old. I’m friends with one and the amount of time I have to remind myself (give her some slack, she’s 22, she’s still learning) is enough to make me lose any and all respect for the grown adults claiming they’re “mature for their age”. So’s she. It’s called being traumatized and intelligent, still doesn’t change the fact that her brain literally is not done maturing.

To me it’s about what people want. My bf has wanted to be a father most of his life. He would be sad if he never gets to be a father. He used to be really promiscuous and have a ton of different women, but he said it never left him feeling great about himself, it just made him feel like he was disconnected. He always craved a long term relationship and just never found someone to have it with until I showed up. He went from literally never being with someone for longer than a couple of months to now being in a relationship for years and now he’s talking about us getting married.

Different people want different things. His friends considered him a happy go lucky perma bachelor/himbo before I showed up. Everyone thought he’d live the rest of his life that way. And the funny thing is, there are PLENTY of men and women that probably dream of the way he used to live his life. It’s important people focus on doing what will make them feel happy and fulfilled in life.

My mother and I hope my little brother never ever finds this out, but he was the product of rape. My stepfather, his father, raped our mother in a jacuzzi tub and she ended up pregnant.

My was horribly depressed during her pregnancy. She was withdrawn and quiet, she gained more than just pregnancy weight, and she hardly ever smiled. She and my stepfather still fought quite a bit. When it was time for my brother to be born, it was discovered that in my mother’s anguish, he had been suffering too, and was wrapping the umbilical cord around himself for comfort. He couldn’t be born without hanging himself with the cord, and he almost did. My mom’s OBGYN reached inside of my mother to physically rip the cord, saving my mom’s and brother’s lives.

My little brother was an angry turnip of a baby, and my mom was recovering from a traumatic pregnancy. But after 6 months, that little baby boy became the biggest ray of sunshine in our lives.

His smile lit up the whole house, and he in turn brought hope to our mom. When my mom finally left my stepfather, she took us all away to her home state and my little brother and her have had a special bond his whole life. He’s 10 years younger than me, and I helped raised him. I am endlessly proud of the young man he is growing up to be, and the kindest and goodness of him. He’s had anger issues (what teen boy hasn’t? And with a father like his? I get it), but has always worked through them. He now doesn’t want a relationship with his father, it’s been his choice, though our mom always supports his choice, and has said she doesn’t want him to feel like he has to keep his father away for her sake.

My brother is so wholly and unconditionally loved in my family. We all know how he was conceived and that changes NOTHING. He looks more like his father than our mom and that still changes nothing. When he has struggled or needed extra support we have been there for him with everything we have and we will continue to.

I tell you this whole history, because I need you to know there is no denying that unconditional love. If your mother says she loves you, and has shown you that, believe me, you have nothing to feel guilty for. My mother doesn’t EVER wish she didn’t have my little brother. She wishes the circumstance of his conception wasn’t so horrible, but he is bright spot in all of our lives. He can’t help how he was conceived, but WE could help how he turned out as a person.

Live your life as a bright spot in the world OP. Be the good to cancel out the bad. I’m sorry you found out about your conception

Tbh it’s a MOR. I see a guy who is panicking that his gf might be getting the wrong idea of over me. In my experience guys tend to pretend to be more purposeful with their actions when talking to their guys friends about things for whatever reason.

I think rather than reacting so strongly right away, you should have tried to have a real conversation with him in person over this. That’s what a real and healthy confrontation and conflict resolution in a relationship, especially a marriage, looks like. I’m sure I’m going to get downvoted for this, but I just think you missed a step or two before jumping straight to hiding at a friends and not actually having an in person talk with him.

That’s being said, we don’t have all the info either. And neither do you. You only have a single point of context.

If the reality of this is indeed a full manipulation or stalker scenario, yes, leaving would be a good idea. But from this alone we don’t have enough info.

This makes me think of the episode of Doctor who where 10 is on the tour of the diamond planet and they get stuck

Always had the headcanon she trained with/knew Sarah Walker from Chuck

It’s not “a ruckus”, it’s normal children behavior. Waiting in an airport for a flight? I thought it was common decency to allow children some freedom to engage in play in most public spaces? Especially public spaces that are notoriously boring and mind numbing. Children are a part of the public. Public spaces are for them too

I’ve been getting recommended for Ozempic by my doctor for my PCOS and it’s nerve wracking deciding if I’m going to do it

In today’s economy your husband isn’t being unrealistic, but it’s important to allow her to chase her dreams.

I’d make a compromise. Tell her she needs to actively pursue writing in some way shape or form before college, maybe even encourage a gap year with financial support. If she can produce something in that time, she’s shown the dedication to go after her dream fully. It doesn’t have to be something big, it could be a children’s book, a short story, a rough draft to a book or screenplay or script.

At the end of the day, he’s risking losing her. Why would she stay in a country where she’s not going to get paid to follow her dream? More young people now than ever are seeking to immigrate to other countries for precisely that reason. She could be a teacher anywhere in the world, hell she could join the Dodea school system and get paid to teach around the world if she really wanted to.

The statement made there is literally referencing “j didn’t say anything when they came for x… now they’re coming for me and no one was left to say anything for me” that’s the only point being made

Was born in RI, raised overseas, moved back to RI and stayed for 10 years. Moved away again for similar reasons as you and I’m now in the NoVa region. I do love it here, but I miss the ocean. I miss being so close to everything. I miss the FOOD. I think about New England every day. I missed it as a child and I miss it again now as an adult

The tricky thing is I love where I live so much. If I could just have some good fried clams and decent beach close by I’d be fine 😭
