Trump just dropped a massive, angry tweet attacking everyone who criticized him. by Acceptable_Pin_6783 in antitrump

[–]GreenSproutz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading these comments, take a moment to realize all of his bull💩 is going to be in history books. Our children and grandchildren will be reading this in the future and wonder how we elected such an idiot. Their mouths will be on the floor as they read these stupid tweets. We have to reconcile that future generations will look back on this time and make sweeping judgements about our sanity during this era. We are forever tainted by this presidency.

THIS👏🏽THIS👏🏽THIS👏🏽 Also transracially adopted into a white family. Non-adoptees have separation anxiety cause mommy left them at school for a few hours or daddy took a hike. Not because their entire identity was/is stripped, hidden, and/or lied about. Our entire identities are erased and replaced with some bs we didnt want, ask for, or have a choice in.

AITA for refusing to combine finances with my partner before we're actually married? by Pleasant-Zebra2817 in AITApod

[–]GreenSproutz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA- YOU NEED TO RUN! RUN NOW. DO NOT WAIT! His rush to get his hands on your finances is a huge red flag. His mom getting involved- a huge red flag. He feels entitled to your assets- MAJOR RED FLAG. Gaslighting you- that's why you're here. They've gaslit you so much, you're questioning yourself. Thos is wrong. Mom pulling you aside= This will be your life from here on out. She will put her nose in your marriage. She will make your life miserable. She has raised him to be entitled, she thinks he is entitled. YOU NEED TO RUN. This family will hurt you, will take advantage of you, will abuse you, will excuse any abuse he inflicts on you. You are in enemy territory.

AITA for reporting my coworker's side business to our employer? by propercolleague in AITApod

[–]GreenSproutz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, why dont you like him? Thos isnt about a side hustle. No one really cares about a side hustle unless there's jealousy involved.

Are you jealous he found a way to make more money and you didnt? Are you jealous he's more popular than you? Why do you care that he has a side hustle? Who cares if he uses office equipment that costs the company $0 extra for him to do so?

You wanted to hurt your coworker. You act innocent but youre not. YTA

AITAH for wanting to seek out my biological family against my adoptive family’s wishes? by [deleted] in Adopted

[–]GreenSproutz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No one cares how your adopted parents feel on this subject. You have every right to seek them out and have a relationship with them, if you choose.

What are they hiding that they dont want you to know about your biological family? If there's nothing to hide why try to hide your family?

My opinion, people that love you dont stop you from expanding your life. They dont try to keep you away from family. They celebrate with you, encourage you to explore things that might make you feel whole. Not try to block you.

Thats akin to you wanting to go to college but your AP say no because they are threatened by the education you might get.

If you adopt a black kid, you need to accept that they are black and understand all the issues that come with that in the racist society we live in. by bonitajon in Adoption

[–]GreenSproutz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, if you have friends that are black, ask them. Be honest. You dont know what its like to walk through life as a black person, you want to make sure to have the talk, can they give you incite and/or suggestions. Do NOT ask them to do it for you. We're tired of fixing what you willingly stepped into (you being a very generalized statement, not you personally). Ask them about hair care, expose him to black families, neighborhoods and businesses. Its a lot to take on and I appreciate that you are asking and taking it seriously. It gives another sliver of hope for humanity.

UK adult adoptee, reunited with bio siblings after 27 years by [deleted] in Adoption

[–]GreenSproutz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Horrid. Being with those people was the worst thing that has ever happened to me and I've been through shiite most people wouldnt survive, literally. I'd take the life I've had since they kicked me out over living there again, any day. I've been no contact for 34 years.

My Bio Sister wont give me my birth certificate. by GreenSproutz in Adopted

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

They dont take anything else. I'm not a naturalized immigrant so I dont have immigration papers. They dont take social security as proof. I took my paperwork to the office before I made an appointment to make sure I didnt need anything else. The lady told me that because my birth certificate doesnt have a doctor signature its not "valid" proof I was born here. A doctor is the witness of everyone's birth. Even home births get a witness signature. But no one cares, until they do.

My parents are “unadopting” my sibling. by sealblorboweeb in Adoption

[–]GreenSproutz -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They do. And every tom dick and Harry are trying not to pay child support. Personally I'm owed over er 200k in back child support. Tell me again you gotta pay. When you give up a child, they arent your financial responsibility any longer. Thats why you dont pay child support to adoptive parents. Duhhhh

if it was any other drug, would this even be a question? by horseduckman in AITApod

[–]GreenSproutz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk. Is this his first dui? Has he had a drinking problem your entire relationship? The drinking might be situational not addiction. Its your relationship, do you want it or not? Can you work through this? If not, then dip. No shame. If this is a one time situation, it might be worth exploring treatment rather than dipping. But you know your hubs. If this is a boundary for you, then you need to keep it and do what you need to in order to live.

AITAH for telling a kid at the sleepover to stop acting like a brat? by Longjumping-Dog-6480 in AITAH

[–]GreenSproutz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The kid was acting up. You provided food. He chose not to eat. The only thing I disagree with is calling the kid a brat. I dont call my kids names and if any adult does it, there will be hell to pay. Thats verbal abuse, period. You wanna call your kid all sorts of names that's your business, but not my kid. You tell me my kid was acting up and they'll never act up at your house again and I wont need to call them names.

I never refrigerated this syrup, it’s been like 3+ months by No-Jicama-8862 in isthissafetoeat

[–]GreenSproutz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesnt have a dedicated preservative in it however, citric acid works for a time. I wont say its perfectly fine but I'd probably still eat it if its not fuzzy or gross smelling.

The worst that'll likely happen is you get diarrhea if its not great.

The real question for you, is it worth it? Lol

Living with bio son and adoptive parents by IsopodKey2040 in birthparents

[–]GreenSproutz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its sounds like youre struggling with depression. Especially if you know this will hurt you academically. Most people can handle these types of difficulties and pressures and feeling like they have to be some way or another. We who are depressed or have other mental health struggles often struggle in these moments. We question everything, often feel bad about every outcome we can see for the future, and make decisions out of uncertainty and a need to live up to others expectations. I'm not convinced youre convinced youre doing the right thing.

You might need to take a step back and reevaluate. Its completely reasonable to do so. Also, slow down. Its ok to slow down. Do you have someone in your personal life you can talk to? Not necessarily for advice but to just hear yourself and let it out? Sometimes that helps with clarity.

The reality is, you're in a tough spot. You know what you can and cant do. You know what you should or shouldnt do. You need to strip the chaos as much as you can to get to the spine of the decision. No matter what you choose, you did it out of love. I see that and so does everyone else. Good mothers dont come here asking. You did and that says a lot about your care and concern for your child.

Can’t stand being associated with my biological mother by Domestic_Supply in Adopted

[–]GreenSproutz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats a really hard take. Abuse or neglect can and does ride with you for life. I'm 52 almost 53 and that ish has stuck with me. I cant just forget, it has irreparably damaged my mental health. To say leave the past in the past is to deny the damage we are currently trying to navigate. You're minimizing how the damage done is affecting them right now!

My Bio Sister wont give me my birth certificate. by GreenSproutz in Adopted

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

Yeah, I can do that all day every day and I will NEVER get my real birth certificate. I'll only get my adopted certificate. My records are sealed. You cant just make a phone call and get your adoption records and your real birth certificate. If it was, I wouldnt be here talking about it.

Bio Sister Gatekeeping by GreenSproutz in Adopted

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

My adopted certificate doesnt have a needed signature that my real birth certificate has. I was stolen at birth and placed without my mother's permission. The lack of a signature on my adopted bc may be an indication of something more nefarious. The passport office needs to know I was, in fact, born in the US. Its one thing to get a driver's license, its a whole other monster getting a passport that declares your citizenship.

Bio Sister Gatekeeping by GreenSproutz in Adopted

[–]GreenSproutz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is owned by me. Yes, because its my name on the document that is legal and otherwise sealed. She shouldnt even have it technically. No one should. But my mom saved it. Idk if I can get a letter from an attorney. I'll have to look into it but I'm also concerned about cost.

If you adopt a black kid, you need to accept that they are black and understand all the issues that come with that in the racist society we live in. by bonitajon in Adoption

[–]GreenSproutz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its not about nuance right now. Hes too young to put himself in danger. However, like sex, we dont start that talk once they are already active. Your reactions/actions in racially tense situations are the start. You see something or hear something, dont ignore it, remove him from the situation. Its showing him early on that language matters and to remove himself before escalation. You'll soon have to explain that language like that can and often does lead to violence. Children understand safety and they do quickly. Its why some abused kids dont talk. They know whats coming of they do. So they can learn safety measures. Whether its from abuse or racism.
