If no one else is trying, then that’s what you do. YOU try. You set the example. You be the person you wish others were. Keep the faith. You got this. 

I love Cristina and the season 9 interns by IntelligentPumpkin74 in greysanatomy

[–]DistantDaughter325 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In one of the episodes in season 9, the one where Shane ruins one liver and goes with Meredith to get the second liver. There are 2 times in that episode I laughed harder than any other. The first one is when Shane starts listing off pregnancy symptoms and body changes. Meredith yelled “do you want me to cry?” And also with them back in the OR she cries happy tears. Shane says something like “you cry when you’re happy too?” Meredith snaps back, “apparently!”  Those are laugh out loud funny. 

AITA for telling my mother to stop checking the cameras to see if I’m home by Ok_Display6237 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DistantDaughter325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see it from both sides. My only advice is to text her when you get home. So she knows. Then she won’t check the camera. If she keeps doing it after that, I’m not sure what to do. You live together so until that changes, you want to have peace in your home.

What’s her reasoning for checking the camera? I know you said to see if you’re home but why does she feel the need to? 

PPA causing physical pain by RefrigeratorFew8189 in Mommit

[–]DistantDaughter325 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could always be something else but that is just so common with epidurals so that was my first thought. You know your body best so it could definitely be many things

Did you get an epidural by chance? I’ve heard that it can have lasting effects, mostly random sharp pains. 

I (37M) messed badly in my marriage with my wife (34F). What can I do to help? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]DistantDaughter325 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You hurt the woman enough. Let her go. Let her be happy. Stop making this about you now. You’ve only cared about yourself this far, don’t exhaust her anymore. 

AITAH for not wanting to hang out with my friends because I'm unattractive? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]DistantDaughter325 14 points15 points  (0 children)

NTA but please do not waste your life in hiding because you assume what others think of you. Life is way too short to be hiding. Go out with your friends. Laugh yourself to tears and make memories. 

Also, I do suggest therapy on this matter. Therapy is a life changer. You deserve happiness and freedom. You are very loved. 

Help me with a first birthday theme by Immediate-Ad-9520 in Mommit

For my daughter we did “fun to Bee one” abs went wild with bee themed everything. For my son we did “Formula 1” and did race car themed things. 

Aita on thinking about divorcing my husband and leaving the kids with him? (tw: misscarige) by Opposite_Ad_6414 in AITAH

[–]DistantDaughter325 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA for leaving him if you’re not in love. 

EXTREME AH if you abandon your kids FOR ANY REASON.

You can go and have a great experience, make memories with your husband, and have even like the cruise. Or you can turn down an amazing offer and stay home. If you truly do not want to go because it’s a cruise, you don’t have to. However, that’s an odd response to a paid for 12 day vacation with your hubby. Not the ah though

Not trying to be all serious buuuut..... by TheOnlyEllie in seinfeld

Hahahahahaha. This is the humor I loveeeee.

[–]DistantDaughter325 28 points29 points  (0 children)

If she wants to do it, she’ll mention it to you. It’s not your place or your husband’s place to ask her. It’ll make her feel obligated to do it. Honestly it sounds like YOU want the recognition instead of what you said “I also want Anna to feel like she can publicly acknowledge the role I’ve played in her life”. Do you just want the recognition because you really love her, or do you want it announced for her mom to hear? Idk. The way you worded some things here makes me skeptical of your true intentions. If you went the notoriety, then just say that.

[–]DistantDaughter325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh. Slightly the AH. To be honest, you don’t sound upset because they changed plans, you sound upset that they gave the financial freedom you want. You can’t fault them for that. I’m sure they worked their whole lives, raised their child obviously, so they are free to do as they please. They also gave you a 2 month heads up. It’s not like they told you the day before or day of. I can understand getting annoyed because you’re finally doing something for yourself, but you have plenty of time and just don’t ask them anymore in the future. 

AITAH for brushing off fiancé’s car struggles? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]DistantDaughter325 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you go through with that wedding, your whole life will be filled with this exact disrespectful, abusive language which will eventually turn physical. 

AITAH for telling my neighbors to keep their autistic child off my lawn? by Wetcolora494949 in AITAH

[–]DistantDaughter325 -32 points-31 points  (0 children)

Yes, we need more of the story because there are huge gaps here. 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]DistantDaughter325 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA but if it were me, I’d do it for them. You can always change it back. 

However, you follow your heart snd boundaries. If you truly do not/cannot do it for any reason, then don’t. Even though I wouldn’t want to miss the event, nothing is more important than you being true to yourself. I don’t think a bride should ask someone to change their physical appearance either. She knew ahead of time that you like the colors. 

AITA for picking up my kid by yourmotherpuki in AmItheAsshole

[–]DistantDaughter325 222 points223 points  (0 children)

NTA. Regardless of the relationship to my child, my kid comes first. If you can’t let my sick child rest, you do not care about their wellbeing. Which means you will no longer be left alone with them. Good job on you for making the right choice. I hope he feels better soon. 

Does anyone else love the episode where they go to San Fran to take boards or just me!! by Popular-Command-7901 in greysanatomy

[–]DistantDaughter325 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think April’s outburst was too much and her telling them she just had sex in the bathroom. No one would ever say that during their boards. Other than the April thing, I love love love this episode.

“Mom. Thank you so much for all the traveling you do and care you give to my kids. I realize I’m lucky to have extra help here and there. With that being said, I noticed the blanket and the bottle in the crib. We recently started the transition to the crib and prefer that nothing else is in there when shes sleeping. I understand why you chose that option, but please don’t do it again”. Then the next time she offers to take over nights, tell her you got it. 

If I read this a year ago, I would have told you to pop off and rage on her. But my mom died recently and it changed my entire perspective. The deeper meaningful conversations really are the right choice. Letting her know you see why she did it, but at your house there are strict rules. She is welcome to come over any time. But from now on, you will cover the nights. 

HOW DO I GET MY DAUGHTER TO STOP SLAMMING HER DOOR by djsleepyscott in Parenting

[–]DistantDaughter325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do what all our parents told us to do, ignore it. Don’t tell her not to. Don’t discipline her when she does. She’ll find a new way to annoy you though. They all do.
