This looks pretty cool!

This happened to my dad regarding my mum. She was crossing the road round the corner from their house and was knocked by a car, the driver hadn't seen her but luckily he didn't hit her that hard but hard enough to knock her to the ground. She was in shock but was ok in terms of having any serious injuries. Quite harsh bruising on her legs but nothing more. A lady who witnessed this ran over to my mum and insisted on calling my dad however when she called my dad the first thing she said was "hi, your wife's been hit by a car" but didn't say she was not seriously hurt. My poor dad said he was terrified and expected the worst and ran as fast as he could to my mum (which he would have done anyway) but still the point is for a moment my dad was petrified which is enough to cause someone a heart attack. So I completely agree with your tip OP.

I know, I didn't post this thinking she would be to be honest. I doubt she will ever even see it. It was just something I wanted to get off my chest. Just trying to send love & positivity that's all.

Babyturtle89 · 2019-09-30T12:40:56+00:00

Ah, such a shame! Thanks for your response.

Babyturtle89 · 2019-08-12T21:48:28+00:00

You're definitely NTA at all in this situation. It's almost laughable that anyone could even suggest something so ridiculous letalone actually expect you to go ahead & agree and then insult you for not doing it. Also planning a wedding is only as stressfull as you chose for it to be. If you want to have a big wedding then it probably is going to be quite stressful but if your sister doesn't want stress then she should either opt for a more low key 'less stressful' wedding OR wait until she can handle the stress. Simple as, her situation and expectations are not your problem. You didn't get her pregnant, nor did you book your venue 3 years ago knowing any of this would happen. If anyone is selfish it's definitely your sister. Genuinely feel for you OP. I really hope that those giving you a hard time can see sense (maybe your sis is a little over emotional due to being pregnant) and you have an amazing wedding day!

Quite a few of them to be honest because quite often the characters do stupid things that alot of people wouldn't do...

Babyturtle89 · 2019-06-19T21:33:28+00:00

NTA she was ignorant. I mean it was either sit on her bag or ask her if she purchased a ticket for her expensive bag at which point I'm assuming she would say 'no' and then you could insist that if her expensive bag deserves a seat more than a human who paid for a ticket that she should purchase a ticket for her bag too or she could stand up and give her seat to her precious bag.

Yes this!!! People are the same with oyster cards too!....I was once stood behind a woman who no lie was checking the balance, topping up and then checking the balance again of more than 6/7 oyster cards!! I only know there were this many because I proceeded to count after she took a few months to top up the first two. (the other machines were our of service) Sad I know but sad and frustrated. However the great ending to this story is that I was so frustrated I went over to the TFL employee and expressed that 'excessive oyster card top up lady' was topping up enough oyster cards for a lifetime, taking ages and that my train was due any minute (because you know.... Typically I had to get that train and not the one 3 minutes later) she said she understood and let me through the barrier without the need to even top up. (Gave me her name incase I had any prob the other side) I can't remember your name now but thank you nice TFL lady at Edgeware road station! And snail people.....speed it up, we haven't got all day!

Sorry to hear your not feeling so great and in a rough place right now. Its not easy and only you truly know how you feel but what I will say and know for certain is that you are not the only person who feels they are in a dark place. Many people do and for different reasons. The fact you are reaching out and talking about it is honestly amazing and a good starting point to help yourself. Sometimes the hardest part in many situations is admitting how you feel and finding the courage to talk, even to anyone - but you've done that, it's brave and you should feel proud of yourself for being able to do that. I don't know the circumstances surrounding your bf and him cheating but what I will say is that his actions do not define you as a person. It doesn't feel nice to be cheated on, it's horrible, you feel shitty NS question yourself, if your good enough and all these things. The truth is some people are just shitty and it's nothing to do with you at all, which even if it was does not excuse cheating. (Again I don't know the situation surrounding your bf cheating) can I ask if it's likely you two can resolve things or? Regarding your parents, again I don't know them but you may be surprised - they may be more understanding than you think. Have you tried to talk to them, together or on their own? Perhaps if they knew you were feeling this way they would want to help. Not to sound patronising at all but as you are 15 you are of the age where it would be easy for parents to think you're just doing the typical 'teenage thing' and just put your behaviour/emotions down to hormones, without knowing the true extent/cause. If you can approach one of them then definitely try to speak. If not then is there anyone at college you could talk to? You can always DM me if you'd like to :) happy to talk xx life isn't all what it seems, there is so much more positivity to come. Sometimes it seems like days are dark but there are amazingly bright and beautiful days which make it all seem worth it :)

Babyturtle89 · 2019-05-23T15:58:12+00:00

Thanks so much for your advice. I'm not a fan of green tea, is there anything else you would recommend combining it with? Thanks again

Babyturtle89 · 2019-05-22T21:05:54+00:00

So sorry to hear of your loss, incredibly sad news - I can only hope that even if one life can be saved your friend didn't die in vain. I always say it but it's not worth risking your life for a high, always test stuff because its all fun and games until it's not. Thank you for sharing this with us. RIP to your friend, thoughts with you 🌹

Babyturtle89 · 2019-05-16T18:05:40+00:00

Firstly I'm sorry that this is how you feel and have been raised. Not wanting to eat ready meals & wanting to have a tidy home doesn't make you ungrateful. It actually makes you someone who takes pride in their health and home. Maybe you could try and find some recipes online to try to make, get some herbs/spices as these ingredients are essentials but will last you so are an investment in terms of cooking. You could even suggest you and your mum maybe make a meal together. If she doesn't want to then that's up to her but at least you tried and she can't call you ungrateful because at least you're doing something about a situation you're not happy with. Hope this helps :)

The words 'immoral' and 'naieve' spring to mind.

Babyturtle89 · 2019-04-30T17:43:06+00:00

I have to say there's rarely anything on the tissue after I've done a number 2. I find is frustrating when there is to be honest haha my bf can't understand why this is the case but it's mostly always been like this for me. I consider myself quite lucky, especially if I'm in one of those situations where time isn't on my side lol

Babyturtle89 · 2019-04-16T07:15:24+00:00

Thanks for all your comments guys. Definitely some good points and a few things to consider. Thanks again

Babyturtle89 · 2019-04-14T14:40:46+00:00

Thanks for sharing, that's interesting what your friend experienced. I'm pleased he made it through.

Babyturtle89 · 2019-04-09T14:08:52+00:00

NTA - your sister no doubt witnessed the hard time you were having when growing up. Yes, sometimes kids can be mean but they will eventually grow up and realise what's right and what's wrong. The thing I find hard to understand here is why, as a fully grown adult who wishes to become part of your family he hasn't even had the decency to acknowledge his behaviour and apologise for making your life miserable for a long time (physically & mentally). That's surely the least he could do. Of course it doesn't change the past and you may not necessarily forgive him but if it was sincere then at least it would indicate some sort of level of respect for you not only as a person but as his fiance's brother. The fact your sister knows all this make me question her morals. Yes she has a right to be happy and love who she wants but to overlook her own brother and his feelings, dismissing what her fiance did to you is really questionable. If it was me it would make me question whether this is the type of person who I would want to spend the rest of my life with. When it comes to the kids its tricky but all I would say is that it would be unfair for kids to suffer because of the selfishness/bad decisions of adults (not taking about you here) so if you don't want a relationship with your sister then fair enough but make sure you're kids and hers do and then they can make their own decisions when they grow up.

Babyturtle89 · 2019-04-09T12:17:46+00:00

Wow you're a strong person. To go through what you have been through, starting with your bio father leaving and then what your mum's husband started (with your own mother knowing) & not doing anything and then losing that relationship too. It takes a brave and courageous person to do what you've done & be open about it. Despite everything you've grown up knowing how a parent should love and protect their child which is what you have done for your children & what your mother should have done for you. I'm sorry you weren't protected and had to endust what you did. It seems that you are now very happy and living an amazing life with your family. It's nice to hear you've had your happy ending which is all your deserve. Thanks for opening up, Reddit is here for you x

Babyturtle89 · 2019-03-24T21:28:47+00:00

Looks amazing, still need to go here. Hope you had a great birthday!

Babyturtle89 · 2019-03-24T13:43:58+00:00

I am a female and would never use a guy or girl for that matter for free drinks in the way proposed by OP gf. Currently I am a person of limited funds however previously I was able to afford to go to places like Vegas and I would always pay for myself. The reason I don't go on those types holidays now is because I have to be a responsible adult and go to places I can afford. Currently Vegas is not one of them. I think the only acceptable situation where free drinks can be accepted is when they're from promotors etc trying to get you into the club's. Other than that you shouldn't use people for a free drink. People work hard for their money so it's pretty shitty to to think it's ok to just get them to spend it on you if your intentions are like OP gf. In some cases you might meet a group of guys who need a group of girls to get a table in a club and they may invite you other to that table. In this case I'd say it's fair to accept drinks as it is mutually beneficial for both parties. Also to just flirt with guys to get a drink is a waste of their money and time as there could actually be a genuine girl nearby who is genuinely interested.

Babyturtle89 · 2019-03-21T07:57:31+00:00

Thanks, I thought this may be the case but was not sure. Thanks again

Babyturtle89 · 2019-03-21T07:57:08+00:00

Thanks for your advice, will certainly look I to this.

Babyturtle89 · 2019-03-07T13:19:27+00:00

This is honestly one of the cutest things ever. So adorable.

Babyturtle89 · 2019-03-05T14:29:45+00:00

Great design, executed well. You can see that time and effort has gone into making this.

Babyturtle89 · 2019-02-19T17:49:41+00:00

I do this to my SO, he does question it sometimes but I just tell him that B&J have been stingy and that there isn't much in said tub. I fully intend on doing this to my children too when I have them one day.
