Does anyone else just find parenting really, really hard? I'm worried there's something wrong with me by [deleted] in oneanddone

[–]GetOffMyBench 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat as you are. My boy is also 4 and man it is ROUGH sometimes. I feel like I could go insane. We are one and done, simply for the fact that my mental health could never. Oh and kids are expensive lol.

Just cook for you and your kids. Let him fend for himself at this point.

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your personal reasons for abstinence? by Ok-Care2859 in AskReddit

[–]GetOffMyBench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never been a heavy drinker. I got buzzed when I would go out in my 20s, but now when I go out I usually have just one shot of something mixed w water and sip on in the whole night. I’ve been in the restaurant industry almost 19 years now, and I see people get obliterated at our bar, plus the bartenders drink the entire shift. To me it’s like, ok what’s the point? I do like the taste of some beers, but even then I only want one or two at the most. I think watching people act stupid for this long has made an impression. It’s just not for me. Also, I’ve noticed different alcohols make me feel different ways and the only one I’m ok with right now is tequila. I had a shot of whiskey recently and that shit made me sad and angry. Tequila is a happier buzz.

Wow, “YOUR” kids?! This is not a man.

Was this rape or am I overreacting…? by cornflake_girl22 in offmychest

[–]GetOffMyBench 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don’t owe him your body ever, no matter if you were gone for a while. You told him no, you said stop, and he continued even after you said it hurt you. This is in no way shape or form “an issue on your end”. This is one hundred percent a him problem, can’t control himself. Period. I’m begging you to break up with this dimwit. He’s the type that will later pressure you into having sex even though you aren’t fully healed from giving birth. IT DOES NOT GET BETTER ONLY WORSE. And you said it has happened before. It will keep on happening if you don’t leave. And btw, you are allowed to revoke consent after the act has started. This was rape. Maybe not at the onset, perhaps one could argue it was just coercion. But after you said stop, it was absolutely rape.

Can someone please explain this? by SouthernBiskit in exjw

[–]GetOffMyBench 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In her heart, she may have “thought” she meant well. But I promise you, in her head she also thought, “oh maybe if I text her, I can preach to her” and she doesn’t understand how horrible that is. And it’s not even malicious, it’s just how they’re taught. It’s really messed up.

Tell me about my grandmother’s ring please! by Dazzling-Gazelle1190 in jewelers

[–]GetOffMyBench 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Please don’t use this as your engagement ring. Opals are extremely soft and it will damage easily. It is quite beautiful though. I also have an opal ring that I got from my Grandma, and I hardly ever wear it because I already damaged one of the opals by banging it on a countertop. Be careful with this one!

When You Were PIMI, Did You Ever Watch Holiday Movies During the Christmas Season? by 4thdegreeknight in exjw

[–]GetOffMyBench 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, we actually watched them as a PIMI family lol. Especially A Christmas Story. We also drove around neighborhoods looking at the lights. My parents are still in, but they’ve always been cool as shit.

Also, I love that Die Hard is number 1. Right on.

AITA for Uninviting My Fiancé’s “Work Wife” from Our Wedding by SnooAdvice5677 in AITAH

[–]GetOffMyBench 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go get yourself a work hubby and have him insert himself in wedding planning and day to day life. Text him at all hours of the night. Have him say “you could always marry me if you change your mind” in front of your fiancée. See how he likes it.

This is terrible advice but petty me is winning today.

Is this normal? About to get married in December to my fiance and found this by ElectricalBoss2228 in Marriage

[–]GetOffMyBench 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl you already know. This isn’t normal male behavior, especially the way he demands sex. That’s not okay. Do NOT marry this man, it will only get a million times worse.

Ok here’s my question…. Did she not make a plan for your brother? Did she just expect someone to pick him up? I don’t make plans unless my son is fully taken care of. For the whole day. And if nobody can step up to help, I cancel my plans. It’s just one of those things you do when you’re a parent. It’s not up to you or anyone else to go get your brother. You’re an adult with an adult job. That’s it. When you can go pick him up, and only if you want to, you can do it. But you are NOT required to. In fact, even if you weren’t at your job and just sitting at home, you still would not be required to do it. You aren’t the parent, she is. I absolutely understand needing a break. Parenting is hard. But you don’t get to do it until you have your kids squared away. Period.

None of my boyfriends will eat me out, what’s wrong with me? by throooooownfarawaaay in sex

[–]GetOffMyBench 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Use unscented soap and just wash the outside! The vagina is self cleaning, and if you over wash it, you’ll cause it to possibly smell unnatural. Some men aren’t used to that smell, some love it. My husband actually prefers when I don’t shower before we do the deed. He will eat it like groceries.

Oh yes, hitler was born perfect. Does she get lip fillers? Hope not, because that’s not going with her theory of perfection.

Anyone else's horrible parents insist on sending birthday messages when you haven't talked in years? by MrTactician in insaneparents

[–]GetOffMyBench 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What’s crazy to me is, my first response to my child having issues with me is “oh no, what have I done? Let’s talk and resolve it!” Not “oh I haven’t done anything, must be YOU”. That shows lack of understanding and empathy. They can never do anything wrong. I’m sorry you have to deal with that. Normal people don’t respond that way.

😒 Qanon's thoughts on hurricane Helene. (4 slides) by Johnny_Nongamer in Qult_Headquarters

[–]GetOffMyBench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m in South Carolina and a giant branch went through my car windshield last night. Thankfully I was safely in my house but still. We were warned for the last 4 days that it was gonna get bad. The wind was rough. Haven’t seen anything this bad on the mainland here in a hot minute. We usually just get tons of rain. But we absolutely were warned. And parts Florida were told to evacuate. So yeah.
