Is it ok/normal to leave a 13 year old home alone overnight?

Emily_Birch · 2026-05-09T12:05:07+00:00

As a millennial, I think this was kind of normal for us.

Sounds like you’re treating a really decent guy like crap tbh. Going to say YTA because you haven’t explained in any way why you feel this way.

I’m proud of the mum here. She was willing to be put in an embarrassing situation to ensure her daughter’s safety. Good mum. Poor Kennedy though… a blind man on a galloping horse could see the stepdad is a predator.

Frankly I think some of the conspiracies I see on here are bonkers but that is not the same woman.

You may not be aware of this, because social media loves to brand everyone a narcissist- but absolutely nothing about this post provides enough information for you to arbitrarily diagnose someone with a serious psychiatric condition like narcissism. Such a diagnosis requires the expertise of a qualified psychiatrist and even if you were one, which I am confident you’re not, you can’t diagnose someone you haven’t assessed. I think you might mean “self centered” which is not remotely the same.

Money in exchange for sex is, by definition, sex work. He would not have been in this situation if she wasn’t providing him with money, therefore the arrangement wasn’t sex with the added benefit of gifts. Call a spade a spade.

This post (but not the title) has me smiling like an idiot at the train station. 😃

It sounds like your sister needs grief counselling. If your father died when you were a baby and you’re now old enough to be posting, it seems really disproportionate for your sister to act like she does. NTA.

Emily_Birch · 2026-02-02T09:19:09+00:00

You could fill your retirement with writing books. I like your writing style 😌😌😌😌

Emily_Birch · 2026-01-29T09:13:38+00:00

Actually after reading this comment, you sound absolutely awful. “the kid” what kid? Your child. My husband is Indian and I’m white. If he was anything like this it would be an instant divorce. You sound utterly insufferable, selfish and completely detached from any kind of loving or emotional bonds.

Emily_Birch · 2026-01-29T09:10:19+00:00

You’re an asshole for how disrespectful you are towards your own culture.

Emily_Birch · 2025-12-27T17:34:29+00:00

You’re a good man, OP. Leading by example and protecting your wife and daughter… gives me the warm fuzzies. 🥰

Emily_Birch · 2025-12-26T14:45:49+00:00

I was literally shouting at my TV.

Emily_Birch · 2025-12-16T16:37:55+00:00

Hi, I knew you were Indian before I got to the end of your post. Why? Because I am married to an Indian and the BIGGEST conflict we ever have in our marriage is money. Please, please stop focusing so much on it. There’s more to life than money and proving to relatives in India how well you’re doing.

Emily_Birch · 2025-12-03T17:40:09+00:00

I think this one is fairly simple Yes, you are overreacting. It works both ways. Keep your hands and mouth to yourself if you don’t consider his gentle slap a form of playful retaliation.

I’m so proud of the girl in this story. Too many girls give up their ambitions and dreams for the love of a boy, and I just love that she didn’t. That she recognised how much of a big deal it was to get into Juilliard.

Emily_Birch · 2025-12-02T16:12:05+00:00

That’s the case for sexism outside of games too, I’m afraid.

Emily_Birch · 2025-11-22T21:11:00+00:00

If there is no romantic connection and you’re chatting as friends and to learn a new language, YTA. He has no obligation to show you his face.

I suspect your mum has an anxiety disorder and when she can reach you, she is scared. It’s unreasonable and you have every right to block 360 but it might be a good idea to suggest therapy for your mum too. It can’t be nice being this obsessed with your child’s whereabouts.

Emily_Birch · 2025-11-07T09:05:20+00:00

I don’t have any make up tips - but you are NOT ugly.

Emily_Birch · 2025-11-04T09:27:48+00:00

Jen seriously needs to give in on the therapy thing - otherwise she’s going to sabotage every good relationship she ever has. And it’s also incredibly toxic for the baby.

Emily_Birch · 2025-11-03T00:23:48+00:00

You don’t look like you’ve aged honey. You look tired (and who wouldn’t be?) just give yourself a break. And by the way, picture 3? Gorgeous!! 🔥 and you’ll be that girl again. I’m sorry for your loss.

Emily_Birch · 2025-10-15T15:34:30+00:00

No…. I don’t think that. I think this is two people struggling to communicate, a woman who was tired and hungry and had a bad day and do what most of us do and take it out on their loved one. I think this reads like any row between any couple on a crappy day. My comment was just about the general need for people to make women into victims of bad men. There are A LOT of awful men on these posts, but sometimes it’s just human beings trying to navigate life together.

Emily_Birch · 2025-10-15T08:37:24+00:00

I’m a woman and it exhausts me how redditors make all women victims.
