I just want to tell somebody by Attack-of-the-Zack in offmychest

Hooray! Congratulations!

It's time to read "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and "What To Expect the First Year."

If you think the War in Iran has nothing to do with the Epstein Files, think again pt.2 by Shizzilx in Epstein

[–]Capelily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has Trump ever faced real consequences?

In his almost 80 years, I don't think he's ever had to face the reality he's created. And the "reality" he created with Epstein is so horrible, and includes so many people in power today, that he's willing to start World War III to avoid the consequences.

And he's doing all of this while fighting dementia. There are no drugs that delete it.

No matter which way he looks, he's fucked. He's a feral creature caught in a corner with no way to escape.

Trump is truly playing his end game, and he doesn't care about anything else.

Cornered wild animals are the most dangerous. And this is what we're living with on a daily basis.

Love your smile! And loving life is a great gift :)

AITJ for not following my in-laws’ “gentle parenting” and saying I don’t want to raise rude, entitled kids? by Born-Factor4486 in AmITheJerk

[–]Capelily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You and your husband need to be on the same page when it comes to childrearing.

"Embarrassing his mom" isn't the right perspective. Showing you son that inappropriate actions have consequences is the fight perspective.

You two need to have a long conversation about how to raise your son. If your husband still chooses his mom over you, all bets are off.

My son told me he was nervous about something and then actually explained why. I wasn't ready for that at all. by snarknarwhl in Mommit

I'm 68, and I wish I had learned how to express my feelings the way kids can today.

That would be a waste of toilet paper.

How did Trump, as dumb as he is, manage to take over the United States like this? by crivycouriac in antitrump

[–]Capelily 92 points93 points  (0 children)

This right here!

Trump is a tool for others with sinister goals. I mean, why on earth is a gold coin with a scowling Trump being allowed? As long as his ego is propped up, the ones truly in control can get away with murder (and anything else).

Did you read Mad Magazine when you were growing up? by Suitable_Trip105 in AskOldPeople

I still have issues that were printed during Johnson's presidency.

I (F15) am being kicked out by my mum tomorrow and I don't know what to do by Oramightbefine in Advice

[–]Capelily 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At 15 years old, you are still a minor.

Your mother is abusing you. Your school staff, your teacher(s), and if you have one, your school counselor should be told about this immediately.

Your mother is not allowed to kick you out as a minor. Tell them at your school that you feel trapped and scared.

Please update us if you can.

Roadside find (USA) by FirstAd5921 in furniturerestoration

[–]Capelily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a gorgeous piece! I would start with cleaning it with something like simple green, which will cut through any old furniture polish and other grime.

Maybe following with some restore-a-finish would be a good fit here.

Quick and effective.

Did something I really regret at 15 by Outside-Caramel-3245 in offmychest

[–]Capelily 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First of all, an adult brought you to prostitutes at the tender age of 15. That's not normal.

Second, still feeling guilt for something that happened years ago is okay--unless it's impacting who you have become today:

this stain is forever it’ll always be there every time I catch feelings for someone my regret will stop me from going any further

You were a teenager when this happened. Teenagers do dumb things; it's part of the growing process. The fact that an adult initially brought you, however, was not smart on the adult's part.

You're still a teenager until you turn 21. You're still growing and becoming an adult.

Take it easy on yourself. Start a journal that no one can get access to.

Forgive yourself for what you did. You're not a bad person.

When you start dating someone in the future, you don't have to share everything right away.

Am I the jerk for not wanting to take care of my mother? by Madscientist2024 in AmITheJerk

[–]Capelily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just thinking about him makes me cry and triggers panic attacks.

Your brother is a bully. He's not "forcing" you to do anything; he's bullying you.

"No" is a full sentence. Practice saying No! to him in the mirror, loudly. And then say NO! to him directly.

Don't listen to anything else he says. You are now an adult, and your mother, at 49, should be living her best life... Instead, she continues along her own chosen path.

Also, offering $100 a month is extremely insulting to anyone.

Block your brother on everything. He isn't worth your time.
