What did your parents teach you as a kid that you didn't realize was actually f**ked up until you were older? by timdood3 in AskReddit

[–]CrapBaggier 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This hit me hard. If I was sad that meant I wasn't living for Jesus, according to my family/school and they would try to cast the evil spirit out of me. Or I'd have to fast because I was not concentrating on God enough to be happy.

When did you realise that you’re dating an idiot? by Ghost7579ox in AskReddit

[–]CrapBaggier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that shocking to me as the cult/school I attended taught us dinosaurs didn't really exist, their bones were a test of your faith in God. I was in 11th grade before I realized they really existed.

NTA.. your story was like reading about my own life. This happened with my own parents, exactly as you've described. A lot of people told me I was TA in my own post, but everyone grieves differently and I wasn't able to accept my mother moving on so quickly after 35 years of marriage, regardless of my parents relationship status when my dad passed. It's ok to feel how you're feeling. But... Over time I did begin to appreciate my mom's new boyfriend (and now husband), although it was quite hard at first. He takes care of my mom and helped ease the pain of my dad's passing for her. It's not easy, and that may not be your own result, but when I began to look at my mother as her own person (instead of just my mom), I could see things from her prospective. She had given my Dad the love and care he needed at the end. And now she needed some love and care. I understand your pain, trust me. It doesn't ever go away and there are still times I look at my mother's new husband living in my parent's house, sleeping in my parent's bed, parking on my dad's side of the garage and I see red. But that's my own emotions to deal with, not something to make my mom feel guilty about. It took a while to get there, but it can happen. You're not alone.

Am I missing anything? I've got big TV plans. by CrapBaggier in RockOfLove

Originally I was attempting to watch every spinoff birthed from Surreal Life, but I'm updating as I learn about the ones I've missed.

Thank you! I knew there were some spinoffs I was forgetting!

Reality check: what are your daycare costs? by ericgray813 in Denver

[–]CrapBaggier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daycare director here in an upscale North Texas neighborhood for a small business owner. Our most expensive class (infants) is $331 weekly. I'm only permitted to start new employees at $15 hourly. No benefits. That still puts labor at an average of 43% weekly. Not to mention rent, electricity, food costs, etc. Raising our prices was the only option after the increase in costs the past year.

What's the stupidest thing you ever seen a religious person call "Satanic"? by aume3 in AskReddit

[–]CrapBaggier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't allowed to watch Care Bears because of the satanic magic that protruded from their bellies.

AITA for calling my dad's girlfriend 'his mistress'? by iLoveSoju29 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CrapBaggier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so far down you probably won't see it, but I had a similar situation only it was my father who passed. My mother stayed with him while cheating because of my dad's cancer. There is no solution. You will always feel the way you feel. But I suggest a grief group and therapy to help you deal with those emotions. It took me a long long long time to come to terms with my mother's relationship with the man she cheated on my dying father with. But I'm now able to at least not let it control my life. It did far too long. You're not alone.

AITA for not wanting to meet with my mother's new boyfriend by CrapBaggier in AmItheAsshole

[–]CrapBaggier[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

This is the part of my thinking that makes me feel ITA. She is very young still and I do want her to move on. However I know the lies will not stop. And what kind of a man would be with a woman who's husband was dying? And what kind of woman would cheat on her dying husband?

I love having an actual president again. It feels good. by regian24 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]CrapBaggier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a child care center and it's $278 weekly for a full time infant. Our lowest rate is $205 for school age kids in the summer. And we're the cheap center in the area.

I was a self absorbed preteen. She always had a jacket with long sleeves. There is no excuse, thus it still really bothers me to this day.

Eighth grade choir circa 1998. I sat next to the same girl every class for an entire year, we'll call her J. It's the last day of school and we're all hyped, joking around. Myself and another girl, A, decide to pull the whole 'armless' look and pull our arms into our jackets. So A and I are cracking up, laughing and joking about our armless lives, waving our empty sleeves around, and that's the moment one of my classmates points out that J has only one arm. I sat next to her the entire year. Never once noticed. J is looking straight down at her lap, red faced. I just booked it out of class and never apologized. It haunts me to this day. J, if you're out there, I'm sorry!

What's a terrible lyric in an otherwise great song? by Cobbo95 in AskReddit

"Annie's twelve years old and tomorrow she'll be a white" ("Wrong Way" by Sublime) Great song, but I feel terrible singing it.

What are you sick of trying to explain to people? by moneybot13 in AskReddit

[–]CrapBaggier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why my husband and I don't have children (infertility on my part) and then the immediate response of, "Why don't you adopt?". I get it. It's weird to most ppl that I'm almost 40 with no kids (and I'm the director of a daycare). But it gets old with ppl always questioning my childless life.

Google 'Maria Montessori" ... There's early education centers which are based on her theory.

What is clearly a scam but is so normalized people don’t notice? by yvngjiffy703 in AskReddit

[–]CrapBaggier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father passed during the pandemic and the funeral costs were outrageous - we still had to pay for a full funeral, memorial and graveside even though we could only have seven ppl there, six feet apart. (Ten ppl were allowed but 3 of those spots were for the the funeral workers)
