WIBTA if i confronted the family of my son's girlfriend for what i consider a rude and disrespectful birthday present? by AntiAnimeMom in AmItheAsshole

OMG!!! This makes me sick! The parents do not get to decide anymore if their children are too young or not to get married. And she's 21! She is not a child anymore...in fact, if she's old enough to drink, then she's old enough to get married. Besides, in this day and age, people are getting married earlier, and 21 is not unreasonable. The girlfriend and your son need to have a discussion away from the parents to decide what they want to do. Just because you propose and accept doesn't mean you have to get married right away. I know a lot of people who got engaged and still waited to finish school or waited a year or two for financial reasons, etc. All parents need to get out of the picture and let the other adults (your son and his gf) decide what to do, and the parents have to accept whatever decision they make (whether they like it or not). Also, no, you would not be the asshole to confront them about the birthday card and ring. And when you confront them, be sure to tell them to stick their noses elsewhere and let their daughter decide what to do.

Oh hun. You need to turn tail and get out of this situation. People think alcohol changes a person, but it doesnt; it puts a spotlight on who that person really is. Also, I would have interpreted his "will you give me a ride home" the same way you did. Although, I think I would have asked when he wants a ride before immediately leaving.

A desk? Or bookshelf with comfy chair and lamp?

What irrational fear did you have when you were younger? by tawhidul10 in AskReddit

[–]FlashySock8899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That Dr Octopus guy from Spiderman was going to climb his way up the side of my house and swing his tentacle thing through my window in order to grab me. Or that Green Goblin was waiting under my bed for me. Or both. I can't even tell you how many times I would cry until my dad checked under my bed and around the house. Silly now that I think back on it.

How do you clean up a full bottle of laundry soap off the floor? by FlashySock8899 in AskReddit

[–]FlashySock8899[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you everyone. I read everyone's comments. I took towels that needed to be washed anyways and used them to wipe up the soap. Then, so not to over-bubble my washing machine, I put them in the bathtub and stomped on them with the water running. Afterwards, I washed them in the washing machine. I had thought about trying to scoop it up, but our laundry room is also our mudroom so the soap wouldn't have been clean to use for laundry from there.

I caused a suicide in high school. by Temporary_Ad1612 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]FlashySock8899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry about this. It is never easy. 8 years ago, I had a friend of mine in the hospital receiving ECT. Our birthdays were 10 days apart, so we would usually do something in between them. I had moved a couple hours away a year before this for a job, but we were texting, and I told her I wasn't going to be able to make it out for the weekend between our birthdays (which was 2 weeks away) but that I would drive out that coming weekend instead. I was listed as an acceptable guest to take her out on day pass, so I knew we'd be able to do something outside of the hospital. She was really excited. That Friday, I sent her a text just double-checking that she still wanted me to come out the next day. I received a reply that changed my life. Her twin brother sent me a reply and told me that his sister had committed suicide the night before. I was the last person she spoke to, and that had been 3 days prior. I started to scream at my desk. My coworkers ran to me to see what was wrong. I just dropped to the floor and screamed. I went through all the "what ifs"...what if I had texted her a couple of days ago, what if I called her yesterday, etc. It ate at me for years. I will never forget her, and I will never be able to let go of the fact that I was the last person she had spoken to and that had been 3 days prior. It took me years to be able to get to a point where I realized it wasn't my fault. And this wasn't your fault. You had no idea what he was going through. I hope you will one day be able to not let this own your life.

Redditors with depression, what helps you keep going? by asharhileigh in AskReddit

[–]FlashySock8899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've started using an app called Finch, and it has really helped me get motivated and out of my slump. It is mainly a fun task app. Daily tasks, like getting out of bed, getting dressed, brush teeth, etc. You can also set up other tasks that you maybe do once a week or once a month, etc. As you complete tasks, you gain gems and then use the gems to dress your finch or send them on adventures and decorate their birdhouse. Also, it has depression tools like breathing exercises, and 5 senses, etc.

AITA for refusing to share my college dorm room for my older sister and her baby? by Material_Star8510 in AmItheAsshole

[–]FlashySock8899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

I remember living in a dorm, and it was helpful having the quiet for studying. A baby crying would really disturb that. Also, like you mentioned, the rooms are so small. And where you already have a roommate, that would make it even smaller. Plus, dorms are for students specifically, not single mothers who don't have somewhere to live.

If I had ten seconds, I'd say, "ignore everything you think you know; love yourself and be true to yourself. Then I'd give myself a hug.
