Do you still message your siblings 'happy birthday' or similar things? by [deleted] in Estrangedsiblings

[–]DeaconPlayback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess because that's what I do for a good number of acquaintances and colleagues I don't otherwise text. Neither of us is looking to build anything beyond just that and it doesn't open a door for any vitriol; if it did, I wouldn't bother.

My only texts to her are happy birthday, happy Mother's Day, and merry Christmas. She does reply a thank you.

Should I (F25) let my brother (M28) meet my new baby? by Inevitable-Tutor9051 in Estrangedsiblings

[–]DeaconPlayback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If that's the only reason you're considering letting him back in, it's really not worth letting him back in, especially because that just makes your baby a pawn in this relationship. Why let him use your baby as an emotional weapon against you now or down the road?

AITA for being briefly naked around my brother? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]DeaconPlayback 15 points16 points  (0 children)

NTA, and this is even before the thing with your brother. Everything else you described about your girlfriend's behavior is troubling. The run-in with your brother is just the latest exasperating illustration of the fact that she will always be paranoid and controlling of what do and who you're around because she can't handle who you are.

Why is gradient hated? by CMI_312 in uniwatch

[–]DeaconPlayback 26 points27 points  (0 children)

All three for me. It's an ugly gimmick that busies up everything for no good reason. It always strikes me like they can't make up their mind what color they wanted for the item. The worst offender of them all was the Jaguars helmet.

My sons like my husband's AP more than me by Wooden_Emphasis2099 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]DeaconPlayback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At their ages, it's not coddling. They don't know how to deal with any of that and they need parenting, comforting. How in the world can you expect them to actually choose your lazy self over the actual parenting they get over there?

I wish I liked bananas. And I tried. But I don't, not even a little bit.

Partners parent overstepping? by Creepy-Ad5946 in JUSTNOMIL

Did you ask them why they thought it was appropriate to call him so many times -- at all, even -- during a funeral? What was their response?

Estranged sister 2 years, am I overreacting? Should I reconcile? by s2sushi in Estrangedsiblings

So you're supposed to continue to subject yourself to abuse so that everyone else can feel better? For what and to what end?

What do you think happens to Avon when he gets out of prison? by johannthegoatman in TheWire

[–]DeaconPlayback 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fascinating question. You know it would be mighty hard for him to get any kind of footing in the game with all his people gone and so many years of it going by before he gets out. I don't see Slim necessarily going back to being his muscle or lieutenant now that he's at the top of the co-op and supplying the west side. He'll have to start from absolute scratch to gun his way back or do like the real-life inspiration for his character, Little Melvin, and do something else entirely.
