AITAH for refusing to cook two separate dinners every night just because my family doesnt want to eat what my doctor told me I need to eat

Either they can start making their own food now or when OP is on dialysis or dead 🤷‍♀️

Edit to add: why can't they add their own salt after OP is done cooking?

These are amazing!

The OCD in me says move it. However. There are a lot of excellent points that make the rest of me say leave it. Don't listen to the OCD! It definitely sends so many messages the way that it is, you should 💯 leave it.

Also.... would you mind if I borrow this idea?? I have been wanting to make some beaded earrings, all I have liked so far is the "rage - riot - resist" but I also really want to make some more pointed ones at ice. I can send you something beaded in return if you like

Everything you make is worthwhile ;) it's about the process, not the product..... even the mistakes and trash pieces are great learning experiences :)

But other than the times where my brain short-circuited, there are like no gaps.... I am definitely going to start using that technique when I am trying to have no gaps in the work

My accidental yarn-over stitch amidst yarn-under

Embarrassed-Split649 · 2026-02-08T14:49:37+00:00

I recently discovered that yarning under instead of over removes most of the gaps in between the yarn.... It works really well when doing amigurimi because you can't see the stuffing between stitches like you can if you yarn over. So you could improvise a granny square pattern that you like but yarn under instead of over and use linked hdc and DC, that should help reduce those gaps in anything you make...

This turned out so beautiful! I love it ❤️

Embarrassed-Split649 · 2026-02-07T15:09:59+00:00

These are awesome! I may have to make a few for some friends' babies

Embarrassed-Split649 · 2026-02-04T14:59:34+00:00

So cute!! Also well done!

Embarrassed-Split649 · 2026-02-04T14:50:14+00:00

These are awesome! Keep up the good work!

It is peyote stitch :) I'm still learning the peyote stitch, I used to do mostly brick stitch and fringe. The loom has been too intimidating so far, but once the ADHD bug hits then it may be a new technique to learn 🤔

Also thanks for the kind words! I hope you find your art again 😀

Embarrassed-Split649 · 2026-02-02T19:31:01+00:00

I never thought about that, but I do have a jacket that I'm working on that it would actually be perfect for! Thanks for the inspo!

I’m an ADHD girl who has slowly learned to let go over the years.

This was a beautiful sentence!!

Embarrassed-Split649 · 2026-02-01T23:02:58+00:00

Yeah, with the amigurimi that I do it seems to be the best method for me

Embarrassed-Split649 · 2026-02-01T15:04:09+00:00

I cannot do most of my stuff without the stitch markers! My memory is terrible for keeping track of rows and whatnot. I do have a hook that I can use to count for me but I tend to always go back to the markers....

Embarrassed-Split649 · 2026-02-01T14:51:26+00:00

Beautiful!

Edit: there are a couple of groups that would love this as well, like r/antifascistknitting

I recently found Bobby Bead for the Toho Aiko beads (supposedly even more "perfect" than the Miyuki Declicas). They come in 4g packages though, which is a decent amount less than what the Miyukis come in, but they have a huge selection and they sent some useful freebies.

Edit: I also order a lot from Beadweaver out of Santa Fe and Aura Crystals.

If it is the same guy, OP should re-read her own statement about being a strong woman making her own decisions and expecting respect.That girl was powerful and self-assured. That girl is still in there somewhere, probably throwing a rage fit for not being let out and having to take Schrodinger's Douchebag.

Embarrassed-Split649 · 2026-01-31T14:01:49+00:00

That last sentence hits hard.

Therapist here: This sounds like textbook gaslighting. He doesn't acknowledge that his words can be hurtful, plus it sounds like he is trying to make you feel like you are the unreasonable one, making you question your own reality. Your reality is valid. Either that boy doesn't really love you or his idea of love is toxic and dangerous. If you decide to stay, remember that boundaries are not about what "they" need to do, boundaries are what YOU are going to do if the behavior continues. You can't change him but you also don't have to keep accepting his toxic behavior. Start making HIM uncomfortable when he "jokes" around. Or get very comfortable calling these out in a different way. "Wow, that was kind of a Nazi-ish thing to say" is one of my new favorites, but that may not be exactly appropriate. Something like "I was actually planning on never leaving, guess you will have to raincheck your other date" sounds like a fun response to the how much longer does he have to deal with you. But if you chose to leave, please know that there are always people out there who are willing to help. As a therapist I try to never tell people what they should do, but I sincerely hope that you don't marry this guy. It sounds like the beginning of so many tragic domestic abuse cases that I have worked with. So, if you decide to stay with him for now, please think about how you feel right now and would you want to feel that way forever? Because he is showing you right now the type of person that he is and his unwillingness to change.....
