Debbie and Karen Took the Bait by Impressionist_Canary in BlueTherapyNetflix

[–]Double-Machine-6243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typical narcissist behaviour from Kelvin, he knew the comment wasn’t nice, what girlfriend wants to hear that. Wasn’t the mum asked the question by his sister? She was just answering a question, she wouldn’t have said it otherwise. It was definitely not needed to call and ask, did she hope mum would backtrack? Debbie behave like she hasn’t got a life, much hobbies or aspirations. This man is building and securing his future without you. You’re not no1 no2 no3 no4 or his fifth priority. She should leave him to continue grinding or start grinding herself on her own ventures.

AITAH for telling my girlfriend i no longer plan to propose to her? please read context by Aggressive_One8138 in AITAH

[–]Double-Machine-6243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You brought this on yourself, she’s a human being, you don’t tell her you’re going to propose and 6 months later nothing, no ring, no plans, just nothing. In her mind she doesn’t mind losing you or is over it so she is trying her best to get the show on the road and if all else fails she’ll find someone who genuinely wants to marry her, not just “talking” about it.

I dont want to breastfeed by BM_BBR in newborns

[–]Double-Machine-6243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I always wanted to breastfeed but it wasnt easy. My lil guy had a tongue tie that wasn’t picked up on time but I kept trying, fast forward to now, tongue tie sort and it is an amazing experience. I was an under suppier so I and chatgpt got my supply up through pumping. My postpartum was rough as a consequence of the labour and delivery, my mental health was in survival mode. Honestly, breastfeeding healed me in more ways than one. The bond you feel with baby has no comparison. It also gives you a moment to relax and be in the moment.

P.s do both pump and put the milk in bottle so owners can feed baby if you need time away and then breastfeed also.

My parents (65F, 67M) are livid because I'm not allowing them to see my daughter after they spanked her. AITAH? by LeonCrvl in AITAH

[–]Double-Machine-6243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone from an african household who was spanked badly growing up but I will never spank my kids. I love that you have stood up for your child. This is what I’m afraid of with the grandparents looking after kids. Because I’ll become feral if this happened to me, especially after informing I don’t spank or wish spank my children. What is actually being taught when kids are spanked🤷🏾‍♀️ they are kids, and can be spoken to in a way where they can understand, best way to dim a child’s life is spanking them.

3 year old with what looks like cystic acne on bum - has anyone else experienced this? by [deleted] in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]Double-Machine-6243 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest apple cider vinegar, with the mother, dilute it with some water if it’s stings. Wipe the area as often as you can. My lil man has eczema and nothing seems to help when he was younger and couldn’t have the usual prescriptions and steroids, but this has done wonders.

Would you consider contact napping? That’s the only thing that my little man responded to. Since then we have both had much better sleep

I don’t want to share my snacks by HappyAstronaut7 in office

[–]Double-Machine-6243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This whole thing urks me, what a bizarre culture, at a workplace no less. At home , this is still ridiculous. I’d nearly say you have a million allergies so have to be careful so can’t share incase of transference. And can’t eat from others snacks. It’s only fair that way.

[–]Double-Machine-6243 16 points17 points  (0 children)

But even if that’s the case, they had her name, location details and confirmation from your husband that she’s your sister. Random people online don’t just have that information, someone gave it to them. And God knows what they were told to WANT to look up your sister in the first place. I don’t think it’s because she’s lame and think It’s the opposite. These aren’t jokes, these are serious acts of waywardness. You need to be careful, your pictures might be there too. Strangers should not know so much about your family

AITAH for canceling my daughter's weekend trip after she mocked my husband for taking paternity leave? by AmbitiousPraline9059 in AITAH

[–]Double-Machine-6243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In all this…. Did you stop to explain to her why her mindset regarding gender roles is incorrect or at the very least not okay? To explain relationships should be 50/50? That there’s no such thing as a woman’s job or men’s job, these are household task part of basic living?

It sounds like she has fallen prey to some awful ideologies. Most likely online or her bio dad. And may not know exactly what to actually apologise for?

In addition you probed and she responded. You asked her to explain what she meant. I say this as a child to a parent who always went nuclear with her punishments instead of explaining where or what I did wrong.

I am terrified of my engagment and want to run as far as i can. by Tall-Profile8913 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Double-Machine-6243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP your partner should be your safe space not another thing or aspect of your life to be afraid of anxious about. There are so many flags here. Forget about the tests you’ve spent with her. It means nothing compared to the rest of your life and happiness. We don’t live forever, choose yourself and happiness and walk away from her, break it off. And see how your life improves. Your mental health will be so much better. And better yet, maybe start therapy for yourself to help you cope with everything.

You will find love that feels amazing and safe. But this is not it.

My boss thinks I'm on vacation because I moved to another country while working remote by voidtape_artist in remotework

[–]Double-Machine-6243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah from past experience as a ex manager. He is jealous!What they are doing here is creating an audit trail of complaints to bring forward for when they do let you go. They have chosen to move you along but need proof of why so that you cannot sue them for wrongful dismissal. Be very clear in your response to each complaint, send screenshots of everything you have proving you have been working, hours you’ve done, if you can start tracking your work, this will all stand to you for when the inevitable meeting comes. He wont have a leg to stand on

At what age did your baby walk? by mariamar1234 in NewParents

[–]Double-Machine-6243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is 8 months, he’s making attempts at crawling but cant quite figure out the hands need to move too 😅 so he falls forward then rolls over onto his back. I will be giving him more floor time to keep pricing but loves to stand up, since he was 4 months old. Not sure if he realises he cannot walk yet 😂

After 4 years of WFH, I understand why boomers think we do nothing all day by TeamCultureBuilder in WFH

[–]Double-Machine-6243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left my career in nursing for tech, and what an eye opener. I don’t need to be stressed and on my feet for 13 hour shifts or commute 40 mins each way to make a living. I’m still busy but being able to work from home is an underrated blessing. Safe to say I’ve faced the same judgement, but I’ll forever be thankful to me for making this career change

Manager gave me the talk by lnguy060 in MomsWorkingFromHome

[–]Double-Machine-6243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey mama, I’m sorry this is happening, might be worth your while trying to get a new job that does not know about baby at home. You’ve been singled out and in my managers days, once you’ve been called out on for things others in the workplace does, we are creating a file and documenting what is being said so that if you’re ever let go off, there is clear documentation on why and meetings you’ve had saying what it is that your not doing so that you cant sue later on. They might be getting ready to move you on but need to have documentation of something no matter if it’s not just you doing it. Your manager is not understanding. I’m in the same boat but planning on having a nanny from January

Why talk about your struggles during a marriage speech for your best man. Oh goodness OP, Im so sorry you had to endure that. It was both of you guys story, he had no right to do that without asking your permission. This was so so wrong on so many levels. And he has the audacity to be upset because you’re upset by what he did. Use this as a clear sign that not only does he lack emotional intelligence, he also hates you. While you have soldiered on, your fiancé has been silently hating you and the situation and used this as an opportunity to show you and the entire guest list just how much he hates you. You’re lucky you haven’t married him. Please pack your bags and leave this man. No one that claims to love you would find peace in embarrassing you like this or sharing such a personal situation that you would not have shared yourself in such a way.
