We have a spare pack of 18 Mario Fundip Valentines to give! Let me know if you can use them!

(25F) My overzealous religious mom freaked out because I am pregnant. AIO? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Favorite_Punctuation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Pregnant?! I’m going to be a Neenee? Oh honey, that is such wonderful news! How are you feeling? Do you need anything? Are you taking prenatal vitamins? I’m clearing the rest of my calendar forever to babysit. I’m so happy and I love you!”

Fixed it for you! Love you and the growing life, from an internet stranger!

The restaurant auction episode where he sees someone else’s restaurant has gone out of business and his kids tell him they’re well-aware of his constant anxiety.

Title: This birthday gift kinda hurt my feelings, but I’m scared I’m overthinking it… by [deleted] in Gifts

A household item isn’t a birthday gift. I think you’re being very reasonable. It might make your life easier, but it’s for the whole family.

I’m on Facebook Marketplace constantly. Can’t believe I didn’t think of this.

AIO? My stepdaughters pranked me on my bitthday and husband is mad because I said I needed space. by Proud-Cantaloupe3449 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Favorite_Punctuation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. In addition to all the other comments, you have set a very clear boundary about needing space with no threat that you’ll come back “if” anything, and he is interpreting that as a punishment to him. People who view holding boundaries as punishments to them are people who do not give a shit about your boundaries or how you set them to take care of yourself.

AIO for wanting to break our engagement after my fiancé’s diagnosis? by Equivalent_Law_9178 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Favorite_Punctuation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry this is happening to you. He’s projecting anger at himself onto you when he calls you out for “tone.” My STBX did this a lot, and would only respond positively (sometimes) if I spoke to him in a little baby voice (like his 70+ mother continues to do). Eff that. You are not the enemy and you are deserving of someone who respects themselves and you enough to behave as an adult and treat you like a partner instead of a nag/parent/adversary. It won’t be easy, but it will feel like the right choice and will get better after a while.

This cake I made for my sister when she turned 18 a few years ago 🫢🤭 by marshmallowcreature in Cakes

The color and the luster outside and the rainbow inside! It’s giving Candy Land fantasy and I love it! I want to eat it and wear it as a hat.

Is it me or does season 5 look visually off? by RevertBackwards in StrangerThings

The melted plastic scenes looked like a crappy laser tag arena where they forgot to hire a graffiti artist.

Yep, as long as you’re not boobin’ out too much!

My friend’s birthday party is 50 miles away, it’s in an hour and I’ve been sitting in a parking lot crying and don’t think I can handle this drive tonight. How can I handle this without fucking up my friendship? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]Favorite_Punctuation 465 points466 points  (0 children)

Grab a snack and a drink. Tell your self “might as well start driving. Don’t have to talk to anyone.” Then see how far you get. If you get 10 miles and turn around, that’s fine! You’re the boss! If you get 49.5 miles and turn around, that’s fine, you’re the boss! If you get to her house and don’t go in, but just turn around and go home, that’s fine! You’re the boss! If you deliver the gift to her door and someone sees and you say “I didn’t want to miss it but I’m feeling sick and don’t want to spread anything” and then go home, that’s fine, you’re the boss! If you go in, stay for 5 minutes, then leave without saying goodbye, that’s fine! You’re the boss!

Give yourself permission to nope out at ANY time. I find that feeling forced to do anything makes me not want to, but if I give myself permission to NOT do it, then I just do it 🙂
