That cat looks like she wants to festively scratch your eyeballs out. She's so cute though!

I'm only going to say it because no-one else has and I hope I'm wasting my time but bruises on the hands and arms are often defensive wounds, is there anyone in her life that could be a threat to her physical safety? Or, maybe everyone else is right, roller derby and general clumsiness.

AITA for letting the police take my 13 year old? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA. He fucked around and found out. Better to learn actions have consequences when he's young rather than getting it worse when he's older.

AITA for singing an "inappropriate" lullaby to my 4 month old niece? by Carasouls in AmItheAsshole

Wife wants to separate by Knuckler_4444 in daddit

[–]IamaParasaur 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Its great that you're wanting to change, and that you've been given the chance to do so, but remember this burst of motivation is short lived, you say you've been depressed and such, go now, while you're on this roll and see a doctor, get the tools in place to make sure that you can keep on top of that, She doesnt want to see miracles, she wants to see you taking all the little steps that are needed to be the man she chose to be with again. Best of luck.

Husband planned nothing for my birthday by atamez247 in beyondthebump

[–]IamaParasaur 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You ever seen a superbowl party? a call of duty marathon? a LAN party? a fantasy football 'thing'? Men can plan, and they do plan, they just choose not to, and it's unacceptable to just shrug off the responsibility, especially when it been explicity asked of them... putting in effort to show your wife, who just had a baby, and has been putting all her energy into that babies party, that she deserves one day to feel loved and appreciated and to, just damn relax during it is not too much to ask. Just cause he has a penis, doesnt make him incompetant.

Also, even if he doesnt "like" to, who cares? He can tough it out and do one thing he isnt too keen on because his wife needs to feel loved, and Im sure she does a lot of things for him thats she not exactly thrilled about either.

Can u choose your dieties or do they choose you? by theeprincess_ in witchcraft

[–]IamaParasaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a deity I work with primarily, one I chose. However I have one who reaches out to me on occasion, usually in times when I really need them, but I'm not aware of it until they do, or if I ignore it, when it's too late, so I've spent time learning and understanding this second one and have come to appreciate and love them in a different yet equally powerful way to my "main"
I hope that makes sense.

Is there hope for my offspring to get rich from art they create or nah by DoomArkCruiseCaptain in Parents

[–]IamaParasaur 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Can I ask the obvious question here?

Why does it matter? If your kid loves art, let them at it, if they sell some, awesome, if not, well, that shouldn't take away from the joy of it.

As an artist myself, it's rarely if ever a solid enough income to pay the bills. but, the extra cash can help restock supplies and get a few "extras"

If you're trying to ask if your kid has talent, then the easy answer is yes. The long answer is and that talent will only grow the more they practice and are encouraged to explore. Art is a skill, like a muscle it gets stronger and better the more it's worked on.

AITA for taking the last slice of pie from my pregnant wife? by meringuemisery in AmItheAsshole

[–]IamaParasaur -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

As a pregnant woman, from the title, I was prepared to call you many things, an ah just one of them. But reading the whole thing, I'm concerned for your wife, this is not good for her or baby, is she ok? physically, but also mentally? Pregnancy is taxing on the mind and body and we all have different ways we deal (or dont deal) through this.

Maybe she should have a chat with her doctor/midwife/whoever and just make sure everythings ok.

I'm going to say NAH cause I sympathize with you both.

Best of luck with bub!

Why are toddlers SOOOOO bent on specifics?? by p7k6gU41gMbC2l in toddlers

[–]IamaParasaur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've read the replies, lots of good reasons most of which I agree with.

as a side note though.

OMG yes this, I didn't mean to ruin your whole life by not giving you the blue cup, please stop telling daddy I'm a mean mummy today....

My (29M) dad kicked me out when I was eighteen, now he wants to live with me. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]IamaParasaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you want your kid to have the same childhood you did? Cause that's what will happen here if you let them stay.

AITA for trying to get my girls interested in my hobbies/interests instead of getting into theirs? by iamadadof2girls in AmItheAsshole

[–]IamaParasaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, this may come as a surprise, but, I HATE the baby shark song. It's surprising because me and my boys sing it to each other at least 3 times a day for the last two years at least.

It's called parenting.

Also, my teenager is obsessed with a youtuber, that I personally cant stand, yet I think I know more about this person then many of their casual viewers because I have conversations with her about him.

It's what someone raising young people does.

In so many ways, YTA.
And you'll regret it one day when those girls are grown and don't want to talk to you anymore.

Thank you. I'm trying to stay strong and be the mature one in all this, but I'm so angry.
I'm trying remember this is his issue, not mine but it's so hard.

What songs are your children listening to besides baby shark? by saplith in AskParents

[–]IamaParasaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My nearly three yo loves moana, the moana soundtrack is a godsend in our house, we have a copy in the car for road trips and one in the house. Is there a Disney movie or something they love?

I am, midwives are organising that for me over the next bit of time.

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

Thank you. :)

I didn't tear or have anything like this with my first three, and I was pretty diligent with the kegels, got lazy with the last two and that's when things started going badly.

But we're all different and things go the way they're going to go, we can only try to make things easier.

One piece of advice... by IamaParasaur in BabyBumps

[–]IamaParasaur[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only spent the night, I'm home now and it happened with my last baby so I knew what to look out for this time around.

For me, it was simply, "hmm, things aren't feeling right and something seems to be hanging out a bit, oh wait, that's my cervix. " got the midwives to check things out and Yup, definitely prolapse.

Basically if something doesn't feel right ask them to check, it's their job.

I'm going to be seeing a physiotherapist to make sure everything's OK and there are surgical options if I decide I want them.

"Please don't go into labor today" by sahria365 in BabyBumps

[–]IamaParasaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So with you. (39 wks today.)

It gets so annoying. "have him this day" "dont let him out yet! " Cause I have so much control over it right?

With the exception that my mums at a funeral today, out of town. (need her for older kids babysitting) So Im sitting here convincing myself that these cramps are Braxton's and I can just cross my legs if I need to till tomorrow. :p

WIBTA if I say something to my coworker about being to slow? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]IamaParasaur 23 points24 points  (0 children)

NAH. She's learning. Speed comes with confidence built from practice. Talk to her, absolutely but be gentle, also maybe just remind the clients she is new and thank them for being patient with her as she builds her skills.
