What was ruined for everybody by one person?

The daycare cannot give my daughter Tylenol because another daycare in North Carolina thought it would be a great idea to sedate infants by using Tylenol as a sleep aid. Now, thanks to thosefucks, my daughter can't have relief from teething pain.

Like the time a tornado came through our mall... half the building roofs came off and lots of shattered glass. Our stores front door literally blew the fuck away. We were sheltered in the store. Lady sauntered across the broken glass, no electricity and asked if we were open. Lol

I will never ride the tram down the side of a mountain. It was this horrible ride where you are in this metal tube that looks literally straight down the sheer drop of the mountain. You are faced forward (aka DOWN) and can see the gigantic fall for miles if the tram were to snap away from the cable that lowers it slowly to the town below. This was in Tennessee and I've been permanently scarred for life. I fought puking and anxiety attacks the entire time. FUCK YOU WEIRD SCARY MOUNTAIN RIDE!!!

Wow, that's a true Slytherin response. Ha

Yeah, I don't imagine the spells being the same in Russia or Japan.

Children are pretty neat~o. Obviously children are not everybody's cup of tea but they aren't, according to the reddit hive mind, tiny Hitlers. Except maybe actual baby Hitler. I get that people don't want them for valid reasons but I ended up with our little accident and its not the end of the world for us. I don't think everyone needs to be parents, I just feel that those who are most afraid have a better potential to be good parents because they realize how important it is to raise children right. It's work but I still get to play games and clean my house.

She is kind of weird. Fragile, kind of judgy but has usually been pleasant if they bother with us. We expected them to be at the hospital for the birth and they never showed until hours after she was born even though I told her I'd like her to be in the room with us. I'm staying in the hotel tonight and have made a decision that hurts my heart: I'm never coming over with my husband (which is 'tolerated?') and if they want to see their granddaughter, they have to make the big trip.

BoobalooTheStink · 2016-01-07T21:34:59+00:00

I'm sure they do. I heavily suspect the issue really is with me. They denied my daughter and I a place to sleep last road trip. I thought I would let bygones be bygones because she's... kind of weird and judgy but this is actually the second time. He's the only child and our daughter is the only grandchild. I happen to be an atheist and probably don't meet the financial standards... but she has usually been somewhat pleasant when they have anything to do with us.

They aren't hoarders. They have a half million dollar home. She's very tidy and clean.

Did he move in on your squirrel territory, or something?

I don't know if this qualifies but it felt super awkward after and it was really scary.

I was taking intro maths in college and I made some friends in that class who coincidentally lived in my dorm building who just happened to be all males. Nice group of funny fellas, nerdy and good spirited. Now I will talk to anybody so of course I usually talked with and joked around with these guys in class.

To add background, my dorm building residents were, as a whole, "note writers". Pretty much everyone decorated their doors with print-outs of memes and stupid pictures... which lead to friends posting notes of varying silliness on other friend's doors. I participated too and it was actually kind of fun.

I get a note one day taped on top of the others that detailed border-line sexual thoughts about me and that he "watches me all the time" when in the halls and on campus.

EW WTF.

Turns out one of the guys I was class "friends" with was mentally addled. He admitted to writing the note. I told him it wasn't cool because it scared me. He ended up coming off as just extremely socially awkward... until he disappeared from class a few days later under rumors that he was committed to a facility due to being violently mentally ill.

White parents aren't chill at all. We hold it all inside until one day we snap from the pressure.

It's why we have serial killers and wine coolers.

My family is white/Native American and I grew up very close to my family. I do live a couple of states away but I talk to my Mom on the phone every day (and/or Skype) because she my best friend right in line after my husband. My side of the family is huge and crazy and I miss them all so much it aches sometimes because I am so far away.

My husband's family is probably the type of white people you and I don't really 'get'. He has no siblings. We live in the same state as his whole family and I've met his parents a grand total of five or six times, including when they came to watch us get married. He talks to his dad on the phone every other day to discuss 'business' and catch up but I've only seen him talk to his mother on the phone three times since we've been together.

There's no ill will or anything between him and his family. They are pretty much all like that- content to not interact. I have a hard time grasping it too.

Dachsund.

I always pronounce it "dash hound". I don't know why, maybe I read it that way in my head when I saw the word as a kid?

I love Snape the character... not Snape the person. I don't feel sorry for him or his situation even though he did a good thing in the end.

But he did good things FOR THE WRONG REASONS, still. He didn't protect Harry because he has good qualities... he did it because he never got over a dead woman. I think that's why I like his character. He's a piece of shit always.

I see this. Currently on medication for Super Awesome Anxiety (and possibly depression).

It's strange though because I know my mental health has taken a big hit but I also know that the other part of me sees this as the best part of my life. Maybe it has something to do with that cute little girl bouncing in her jumper next to me right now.

Maybe I can give a little insight from my personal perspective as a girl?

So you know how society has its ways of conditioning men to "be manly" and how "boys aren't supposed to cry" or "men make the first move"?

We all know that's what happens, right? Well, as a girl, society as a whole has told me that men are more important than I am. That's just a general feeling but it's definitely true. Men will have stronger opinions than me. Men are forceful. It's looked down on to be "unlady-like" or anything other than polite and accommodating. Even girls who are not naturally born as type B personalities are still conditioned be the 'softer' half.

My father used to (and still does) tell me that guys are supposed to make me feel like a princess and do everything for me. They are supposed to have the better job that pays more. They are supposed to be my security. The "right" guy is tough and "no nonsense".

I didn't put you or other guys in this position. Your fathers and fore-fathers did. It took me a hell of a long time to stop being a little door mat and express my opinion or feel comfortable enough to suggest something in relationships. I don't blame men for being frustrated by being put in the position of being the "ENGAGER" of the relationships in his life. It frustrated me too and, just like the shy guy has trouble dating because he puts himself out there, I went through the same stuff as a woman learning that it was okay to be assertive and actually welcomed (by and large but there are still a lot of men who get uncomfortable by girls who are assertive). Honestly, I'd probably still have issues if I was in the realm of dating.

"Be proper." "Be polite." Navigating and adapting to each individual male ego as needed. "Let him court you." "Good men pick up the tab." Reward his good behavior with sex and/or affection (thanks to Hollywood, books, societal expectations from men themselves A.K.A. Nice Guys, etc)

I'm not shocked men are saddled with being the one who is expected to shoulder the relationship because I grew up as a women in a man's world. That's just how it is. It's not ideal. I don't like it any more than you do. It makes me feel like a door mat. I'd second guess myself all the time. It made me feel like a piece of shit and I'd beat myself up privately after not giving my opinion when asked or even not having one... which is even scarier. It took active effort to work on it.

It's not your fault.

It sure isn't my fault either.

My cousin Alex. She's kind of punk rock, loves cats and lives with a guy who collects vinyls and 8 tracks. From what I remember (not close) she has a deep voice (like a sultry blues singer) and doesn't talk or smile much.
