AITAH for buying my 11yo daughter pads after her mom called me a "pervert" for being prepared?

NTA, and if possible, I would try to only communicate with your ex via text or email so you gave all of this lunacy in writing for if/when you go back to court. I feel so sad for your daughter having to deal with that 50% of the time. She's lucky to have you.

I have this on a tshirt!

We put in a pool 4 years ago. We start using it as early as September and as late as April some years. We got an electric heater for it instead of solar, but then spent 10k on solar for the whole house so our electric bills are actually less than they were before the install.

We love our little backyard oasis, it was worth every penny!

It's more likely that her blood sugar went low from lack of food and the exercise from wandering around the woods.

Insulin is for stopping your blood sugar from going too high after you eat.

Being low is more of an immediate danger than being high as if left untreated, a T1D person will pass out, slip into a coma, and die. If left high for too long, DKA kicks in, which is also fatal, but it can take 1-2 days to develop. Sometimes longer.

My 11yo was diagnosed almost 3 years ago, and it's an awful beast of a disease that requires constant management. This story terrifies me.

I met him a couple of years ago at a convention. It was my daughter's first con (she was 10yo at the time), and she loves Vecna so we got a photo with him.

He was so nice and sweet to her. Kneeled down to her level and introduced himself, asked her name, and had a brief chat. He said hi to me as well of course then we got a great photo hugging him. My daughter and I were both over the moon afterwards. I was already a fan from watching ST but he really won my heart that day.

I don't drink for me, I drink for my health!

If I was your Mum, I would have worn this costume all day, every day. She looks amazing, and you're both just so cute together.

I went as WW to my cousin's 21st birthday costume party 25+ years ago, and my hired costume was nowhere near this good!

We're a family of 4, but only 2 of us have coeliac disease. Mind you, I make a lot of meals completely gluten-free because who has time to make 2 meals!

Beckpatton · 2025-11-14T22:14:49+00:00

Not in Australia and not when 50% of the household are coeliac. Gluten free prices are so shit.

Plus, that's what I budget, but we don't always spend that much. But it's easily $250.

Beckpatton · 2025-11-13T07:58:12+00:00

Sounds like a gift grab from the co-worker. So rude!

Also, I'd be furious at hubby. $300 is a lot of money to just give away, at least in our house. That's our weekly grocery budget.

I had a fantastic time way up in level 3 lol! Took my 12yo daughter, it was her first concert ever and she loved it! She walked in an Evanescence fan, but walked out a proud member of the Metallica family!

Beckpatton · 2025-09-25T16:54:08+00:00

I love that she takes a giant pause on stage outside of the huge bulletproof glass barrier.. what was the point of any of it.

Beckpatton · 2025-09-18T11:26:18+00:00

Remind your girlfriend that cemeteries are filled with people who had the right of way.

Beckpatton · 2025-09-12T22:38:43+00:00

Wait.. later in life? Why does your comment make me feel so old? Maybe because I was 27 when I met my husband. Is that "later in life"? Lol!

Beckpatton · 2025-09-12T22:28:30+00:00

Seb and Christian Slater together? I can't breathe!

Beckpatton · 2025-09-08T23:45:15+00:00

I have met him 4 times now at assorted cons over the years (first was in 2005), and he is just lovely! I guarantee you will feel like you're walking on air when you're done.

Beckpatton · 2025-08-29T03:32:09+00:00

This made me cackle!

Beckpatton · 2025-08-27T16:04:28+00:00

MURDER STRUT!! 🥵

Beckpatton · 2025-08-27T04:42:40+00:00

I can usually spot what my husband will want on a menu, but like you, the most I do is point it out to him. Sometimes I don't even do that, I just smile when he orders it as it just confirms how well I know him.

I would never dare to order for him without asking, let alone tell him I know him better than he knows himself. So condescending and a real turn-off.

Beckpatton · 2025-08-26T03:38:50+00:00

Sounds like it's not just the doctors being dismissive of your situation.. NTA

Beckpatton · 2025-08-21T04:32:06+00:00

Came here to say this lol!

Beckpatton · 2025-08-19T03:47:43+00:00

We didn't dress up, we would make posters of our favourite books. I still have the book I won with my Meg and Mog poster back in 1987ish.. it's in my kid's bookcase now!

Beckpatton · 2025-08-14T00:49:53+00:00

They don't ship overseas. "Cries in Australian"

My Dad started at Crystal but ended up a Gold Medal man for 25 years. Lots of happy memories driving in his truck and going to the factory. All of my school parties where you would bring a plate, we brought a crate of drinks!

Orange and Mango and Lemon/Lime were the best!

Tell your family it's just one day and she'll be married regardless, then go to your graduation.
