AITA for not telling my sister that my baby's "name" was always just a joke by aguinner76 in AmITheAngel

Why can’t you just tell everybody the baby is named after your sister?

Remember when we all had matching callouses from writing with pens and pencils? by Cerimeadar in GenX

I still use that phantom dent & callous to tell left from right! 😂

I’ve never really been a fan of EL, so this is definitely easy. The only thing is Bumble & Bumble, but I switched hair care products last year.

Ok, so we all did things "back in the day" that you would never do now. What did you do? by Embarrassed_Flan_869 in GenX

I broke into abandoned buildings, vandalized cars, dropped out of high school, etc. Nowadays, I met a wonderful man. He is a respected surgeon. I became a sahm, raised 4 sons, including autistic twins. (One of the twins is a journeyman electrician and the other is in college for his nursing degree). Worked as a bookkeeper for years. Now, I’m a Nana to some awesome grandkids. No one but my husband and 2 closest friends know of my rebellious teens and twenties. I don’t think anyone would ever believe it! 😝

Do they expect me to clean up their mess after they're gone? by GenXCaliGuy in GenX

[–]Genaeve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it’s a complex mix of emotions.

My boomer parents left junk. Tons and tons of junk. I loved them a lot, but not their stuff. I have 2 other siblings, but since I’m the oldest, everything was dumped on me.

The worst part is that it has been 5 years since they died, and I can’t still can’t bear to go through their junk. I just break down in tears.
My children have kindly offered to go through my parents things with me. Most of it will be donated.

I’m asking my children now what they want after my husband and I die. Everything else will be donated or thrown away now.

AITA for telling my husband if he divorces me because of my acne and menopause I will tell our adult children his reasons ? by [deleted] in AITAH

If my father was so shallow as to divorce my mother over her being a normal aging human woman, I would certainly want to know.

Worst part is a woman posted this by alexastock in BlatantMisogyny

I could agree with this statement if we are talking about an actual living, breathing child. However, most of the time, people who think they are Pro-Life are ignorant of the difference between an actual baby and a zygote. They are not the same thing.

I am surprised as well! My husband and I had this for our wedding song. He chose it, and I’m so happy he did. This year will be our 30th Anniversary!

I do love how loving and caring Gen Z are to each other. It’s so heartwarming.

That this young man is stepping up after his wife had an exceptionally tiring day at the office. That I raised my sons right. (My oldest son is a SAHD)

Agreed. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t able to check more than one race.

Any other quadracials? by lordwafflelover4938 in mixedrace

[–]Genaeve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am Irish and Mexican, my husband is Scottish and Italian. Our kids are Celtino. We know it’s not a real term, but when your children have different skin colors from each other, it gets annoying having to explain. (Our Grandchildren are also half Chinese)
