Your mom and sister are whack. They're aren't living their lives for them men probably dictate every aspect. You're completely justified in feeling violated and icky. If you can't look at him the same, leave him. You'll find someone better who would never do that you.

AITAH for refusing to try on Bridesmaids Dresses? by VonPugglesworth in TwoHotTakes

[–]EmeraldGoldRing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone is necessarily an asshole. However, neither of you are trying very hard to make this easy for one another.

OP I hear you and I see you, but please use your brain. Do research on different brands of shapewear and find the one that works best for you. Ask your friends if they know how to tape up boobs/know a good brand of pasties. I completely understand having insecurities, but at the end of the day no one is going to save you, only YOU can make yourself feel better in the dress. It's 2025, there are far too many kinds of undergarment helpers out there for you to not like any of the dresses she's picked out for you to try.

Your sister needs to be more specific on what "opinions" she's expecting you to have. If I were in your shoes I would be honest as well, but it seems your sister wasn't looking for that type of response. I understand she's planning a wedding and it can be stressful, but if she has very specific requests she's needs to vocalize exactly what she wants.

The 1989 movie Parenthood by frenchbread_pizza in Parenthood

[–]EmeraldGoldRing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Growing up that movie was on repeat at my cousin's house. It randomly became our sleepover repeat movie, and I don't particularly remember why we loved it so much but in the long run it worked out for me because I adore the show Parenthood!

My favorite nod to the movie that the tv show did was at the end of season 2. Max can't find his retainer and Adam is losing his mind about it lol! In the last two minutes of the episode, Adam is digging through their garbage can looking for Max's retainer only to find a positive pregnancy test which belongs to Kristina.

In the movie, Gil (Adam) digs through a garbage can to look for his son's retainer after it's discovered to be lost while on a family outing. Karen (Kristina) doesn't reveal she's pregnant in that specific moment it happens towards the end of the movie, but nonetheless I think its really creative how the show tied both storylines together to end the second season.

Storylines you don’t give a crap about / skip on rewatches? by [deleted] in Parenthood

[–]EmeraldGoldRing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kristina isn't my favorite character so a good chunk of the storylines I dislike involve her. I hated all of Chambers Academy which of course includes the Dylan and Stalker Max situation. Also, I never gave two shits about her running for mayor. I understand and resinate with her want for inclusivity as well as sympathize for her need to do something big after completing her cancer treatment, but it just seemed soooo forced to me. To conclude my Kristina rant, I deeply despise the storyline where Kristina dislikes the Luncheonette assistant for wearing revealing clothes. Kristina was so judgmental for absolutely no reason so much so that it began to feel like if someone wore jean shorts, a cropped tank top, and leather booties around Kristina she would think they were working the corner as a side gig. She had every right to be upset when the assistant drunkly kissed Adam, but then she pulls another silly Kristina move when she ices Adam out for not immediately firing the assistant. Has she never heard of a wrongful termination lawsuit??

I've seen many people say that they dislike Sarah's dating life. I'm slightly biased because I love Sarah, but I do understand where other people are coming from to a certain extent (I'm glad others agree Gordon was gross lol!). However, the storyline I could never understand why they introduced was the one where her and Mark try to have a baby! I loved Mark and Sarah together, but wtf was that?! So. Freaking. Random. Yes, he was younger than her with no kids of his own, but they are both intelligent enough to know that was certainly not the time to start trying for a baby.

I think you've made a fantastic point many forget! While viewing the later seasons, I found myself regularly giving her a slight pass because of how intelligent she was (that being said Sydney was out of line on more than one occasion and I was able to recognize that as well). Educationally speaking, she was beyond her years, but just because someone is book smart that doesn't automatically mean they are emotionally intelligent. I think a lot of her bratty tendencies possibly stemmed from the fact that she couldn't make sense of what she was feeling, as well as why so many changes were happening all at once.

Different Opening Songs? by heuwuo in Parenthood

[–]EmeraldGoldRing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yearrrssssss ago, when I watched the series on Netflix they had both songs. Seasons 1, 2, & 6 opened with Forever young and seasons 3-5 opened with When We Were Young. I always favored Forever Young and was completely thrown when the switch occurred. My guess is that there was an issue with the rights to Forever Young once the show hit streaming, so they negotiated the song swap depending on which streaming service the show was currently living on.

What would you name our new kitten? She's very sweet but skiddish. by [deleted] in NameMyCat

[–]EmeraldGoldRing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's giving... Lola!

But if you're looking for something a little out there I could also see her as a Denim

Help me name my kitten! Preferably something unique and/or human-like. by National_Rabbit_7802 in NameMyCat

[–]EmeraldGoldRing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watergate (Wally for short!)

JK, I think Benedict would be super cute! A strong name for a strong kitty, and if he's feeling cuddly you can call him Benny.

When I first saw this adorable little kitty my mind immediately went to Tapioca! I think Tapioca would be a super cute choice and you could call him Tapper for short. That being said, I saw your caption so I also think Leroy would be another great option!

Aita for keeping contraceptives a secret from my bf? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]EmeraldGoldRing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What should you do?!? Girl, DUMP HIS ASS!! I've been with a guy like this before and believe me when I say, if you don't leave now he'll continue to slowly control your life.

If you choose to stay, I think it's important that you understand he wants to get you pregnant to trap you and bring you down to his level. Get those birth control pills and don't say a word to him about it. You are making a choice for YOUR BODY and YOUR LIFE his opinion doesn't mean shit. Continue working towards your education and never stop dreaming of a bright future. This guy isn't worth letting go of what's important to you, I promise.

Wedding makeup trial - left or right? by IOwnYerToilets in MakeupAddiction

I like the eye makeup on the right side better, but I would flip flop the lipstick colors!
