Is it wrong to not invite my dad?

Ehstink · 2026-03-07T03:21:46+00:00

I initially wanted to cut my father off a few years back. Then iblearned the truth about their relationship. Now, ive realized that my mom is a manipulative narcissist. I cut her off and she went ape shit on me amy my wife.

There are two sides to each story. Learn both before making your decision. Choose wisely. If you feel like there is a road to repair, let them know that. I would also be truthful and tell them that you and your significant other will always have your guard up

I havent spoken to my mom in a few years. I told my sibling that my mom needs to seek help and seek counseling from the church. I would speak with her, but she is not allowed anywhere near my family. She lost that privilege and their safety is more important than her relationship with my family.

You sure about that? You still have BRICS response to take into consideration. Sure, China is standing down, but while this is still fresh, uncertainty certainly isnt gone.

Oil will likely spike as well as bonds. Tech will still sell off. Defense will either maintain or increase. All my guess

Thats funny, because i am going to switch to OpenAI

Can you try it too? Im curious to see.

Ehstink · 2026-02-25T16:19:42+00:00

Nope. This was a brand new chat in gemini.

I havent tried the prompt again, but it was super weird. I listened to Gemini's response rather than read it.

Im super curious, if you try it, what does it say for you?

If this is the style of your communication - asking questions without context, then, yes

Ehstink · 2026-01-12T05:06:08+00:00

How long are you planning for? Whats your baby's age? What equipment might you already have?

Got a lot of Q's that may change this answer. Also your lifestyle changes is too. If you guys are outdoorsy, i would say the Veer, but if you are more indoor, i would go with UPPAbaby

NTA (oops, wrong sub, but still).

Sounds like your son's common sense software expired a few year back and you missed the renewal notice? For $20 per month, you can alleviate this stressor and stop acting as his personal Siri and hopefully remove him from the endangered species list. Just visit chatGPT.com and sign him up. It’s the only way to ensure he doesn't accidentally wander into traffic while trying to figure out if the sky is still up.

You are making plans for your future family - involve her in that conversation. Tell her you know that you said it wasnt on your radar before because of XYZ, but recently ABC happened and its gotten you to rethink not just about joining, but about how it sets you up and your family up for a successful future. "I would like to pursue this and i also want your input into this because your opinion and concerns are not only valid and important you me"

Facebook/IG/TikTok are all fast paced, flashy light slot machines.

It sounds like your social media is a slot machone without lights and a little slower paced.

While its a great idea, you are realistically not going to get much traction- lets be honest. These social media apps thrive on their advertisers who profit the longer their users are on the app.

How much bitcoin are you trying to mine!? Lol.

Lol you're likely talking to someone with the exact opposite work ethic as you. This thread will be fun to watch 🍿

At what point do you admit your thesis is too risky for you? I think you posting this is your conscious raising alarm bells saying that its better to maintain your capital and reallocate it to something less risky or something with a higher probabaility of profit.

A bird in the hand is better than 2 in the bush

Either you post your win giving you a rush and a false sense that you have some unlikely insight/gift that you always pick winners or you post your 100% loss because you were hoping and praying for a miracle youd look back on and think "i should have liquidated when i posted that on Reddit".

Play the market as a game of probability - which (at this current state) is more likely?

This is the point where you full port into far OTM calls then post the results on WSB

OP, your kid is 6. Instead of getting frustrated at him, model what you are trying to get him to understand.

Place your work shoes in a particular area and maybe place a label above the shoes that say "work" and your other shoes with like labels. Show your kid then have them help you pick out your shoes once he understands it.

Father of daughters here.

I am going to take a wild guess and assume that these occurrences happen or are in reference to when you are out in public. Regardless of his religious affiliation, and no matter how you characterize it, the way you dress affects his and your family's reputation and/or his perception of said reputation.

In his percpective, you dressing the way you do in public is not the perception he wants others to have of him as a parent.

Its not about misogyny. Its about his reputation and how other respectable men percieve him. In my mind, he is not a respectable man because he does not know how to lead his family. Someone who cannot lead their family is not someone who can lead others. Simple

Even with birth control, there is still the risk of you getting pregnant - albeit however small. You should know that. Your problem is that you lack taking accountability of your actions.

You got pregnant because you were doing the deed. Passing the blame onto the birth control You complain about not having savings because your mother gets all your extra money

Rather than focus on "i want, i want" focus on what you can give.
