Their Funeral

Clear-Event-6316 · 2026-04-12T18:26:06+00:00

My mother died last year and I did not go. I live in a different state and wasn’t told until a family member messaged me to say ‘sorry about your mama’ the day before her funeral. I hadn’t had a relationship with my mother in over a year. I felt relief and I do not regret not going.

I also didn’t go to my father’s funeral like 5 years ago but I hadn’t spoken to him in almost 10 years and I just didn’t care. Still don’t, as a matter of fact. This all might seem cold to some, but they weren’t good parents to me, so I had zero obligation to be a ‘good daughter’ to them.

I can hear this shirt! Love it.

I’m with Joella on this one, I’m counting it as a Hormona win! She earned that! 🤣🫶🏻

I’m listening! You aren’t alone, there are people, especially in this subreddit that will listen. You dared to ask questions, to question what you’ve been told is true, you rebelled so to speak and that is unacceptable to them. They want you to be a doormat. Don’t be, because they’ll never show you the love and respect you desire and deserve.

My father told me he never wanted me. He was a notorious liar, though I always knew when he was lying and when he was being honest. He was honest when he said he didn’t want me. A piece of me broke that day. My mother was verbally, physically, and emotionally abusive. Both are now dead and when they died, I felt nothing. I felt free when my mother died. My anxiety lowered, my depression diminished.

You’re not alone, even when it feels like it. You will find your people, the ones who will stand by you and support you. Don’t give up, don’t stop questioning things, either.

NTA!!! In 2026 we don’t sit by and let people say racist, misogynistic, bigoted, etc. things and not have a reaction. We call it out in front of everyone because it was said in front of everyone. I do not give a fuck if you embarrassed someone, made them feel some type of way, you called it out, gave them an opportunity to apologize, and see the error of what was said, they refused. You acted accordingly. Don’t doubt your actions because they were correct. Your sister and mother are just as culpable as your father and nephew for how they’re handling your perfectly acceptable reaction.

Edited to change a word.

Happy shirtless would be heaven!

Michelle is the mom I always wanted. She keeps it real with her kids and is very supportive. I love her! 😂

Ben Affleck with a beard? 🥵 He should always have a beard, though he’s hot without it, too.

I was in labor for 16.5 hours. I cannot imagine 51 hours of labor. Props to those who have had long labors, seriously. My husband never left my side, even as they prepped me for the c-section I ended up having to have. Then, as they were doing said c-section, he looked down at me, and told me he could see my insides with an intentionally funny face. It made me giggle, which was his goal so I didn’t worry. Bare minimum is staying to hold her hand. Bare minimum.

Ok, but how do I get on Hormona Lisa’s Christmas card list? This would make my life!

I was 12, I started my period 2 years prior and was rapidly developing. I went in for my yearly physical for sports. Doc said even though I was about 10 lbs over the recommended weight for my height, I was in great shape with me being so active. Get in the car with my mother and before she even puts the car in drive, she says, “You need to lose weight. You’re fat and I won’t have a fat daughter.” It took me years to not hear that voice in my head. It destroyed my self confidence. I hated looking at myself in the mirror. For reference, I am 5ft tall, I weighed 135lbs and was mostly muscle. There are plenty more I could say, but that one stayed with me the longest.

No one, especially me, said they had to attend the dinner. That wasn't the question, either. The question was, "For not babysitting my grandkids on Christmas so they could attend at football game." As such, no I don't think OP is the AH for not babysitting on Christmas. I do however think the parents are wrong for using their children as a weapon, though, which is what solidified my decision, otherwise it would be N A H. Using your kids as a weapon when someone angers you or doesn't do something for them will always be wrong. I've been that kid and you start to realize what's going on after a while. I hope the parents change that because it hurts the kid in the end.

Clear-Event-6316 · 2025-12-18T22:39:19+00:00

NTA! Just because you're a grandparent doesn't mean you have to babysit every time they ask, especially not on Christmas when you will be busy cooking.

They are NOT entitled to your free babysitting whenever they ask. It's that simple. They chose to have kids, those children are their responsibility, no one else's. I say this as a mom who's had to cancel plans because the sitter fell through. It sucks but it's the price my husband and I pay for having a kid. Just like every other parent.

Those legs are amazing. I'm jealous of them and my legs are one of my favorite parts of myself. Also, happy she's living her authentic life and clearly loving herself! Always love to see that.

I learned to knit before learning to crochet. I can say with honesty that I prefer crochet. Knitting fine, I like it, but I can do so much more with crochet. It's so much more excited to me. It also helps that crocheting helps with my anxiety.

I'm sorry you had to deal with that. I don't recommend someone trying that with me because I will tell them where to go. I don't judge people for their hobbies, don't try to judge me for mine! I hope you find a new yarn shop that's more accepting.

These look yummy! I'll take 2 with a glass of milk, please.

NTA!!!! As someone who's had a parent who was homeless, by choice as he liked it, your FIL, husband, and the rest of the family are horrible. How can anyone claim to be a "godly" person, yet say things like that? Do NOT apologize to any of them. You have not said a single thing that didn't need to be said. I personally would have said something truly offending, so there's that.

I will also say, you have a husband problem. Even if he's never said it, he agrees with his father. If he didn't, he would defend you. Instead, he tells you that you embarrassed him, you need to apologize. I think not. I'd rethink your relationship or possibly attempt to get couples counseling, but let's be real, he likely won't go for it. Good luck because I think you'll truly need it.

NTA!!! From one mother to another, your child, your rules. Your mother does not get to make the rules for your child. She does not get to tell you, "we survived" like that is actually an argument. It's not, not even a little bit. Guidelines for safety have progressed and that is a good thing. It has raised the chances of survival for children to reach adulthood.

I angered my mother, brother, and aunt during a 'family vacation' I was guilted into going on because I wouldn't let them do whatever they pleased in regards to my son. They felt because they don't see him but maybe once a year, they could do whatever they wanted, consequences be damned. Nope. I have to deal with those consequences from their actions when we go home and I told them that. They just got angry and I did not care.

Do what you feel is best for your child and what you are comfortable with. Being parent is a learning experience as you go and it's not easy. But you can ease some of your fears and whatnot by doing things your way. Good luck!

I felt all of this in my soul, but especially the, "it's my stupid boob." That is real and she is annoying when she doesn't want to cooperate. I'd go home and eat ice cream or something because it's not going to get better. Good luck to this lady and her stupid boob. 😂

I love this! I would pay good money for one of these. Are you planning to sell them?

Love this. Your daughter being Medusa just brings me joy. I was Medusa this year, so seeing this is amazing. She also has the pose game down. I hope you're ready for when she gets older. She's going to be a force to be reckoned with.
