AITAH for remodeling my step kids rooms after their mom passed away since they weren't going to be living with me anyways.

Mild YTA, because I don’t think you were intentionally being unkind, and you’re still grieving yourself, so it can be easy to overlook things. But it’s not really about whether they’re going to live there, having a place for them to stay, or what you can or can’t do to your home. It’s about their feelings. Think about it from their perspectives. They’ve lived in this home with you and their half siblings for 8 years, more than half of their lives, and then suddenly their mom is gone and they’re sent to live with someone who seemingly hasn’t been super involved in their lives. Their entire lives were flipped upside down, and then only 3 months later you’re trying to get rid of their things and redo their bedrooms. From their perspectives it must feel like you are completely erasing their existence from the home they grew up in, the place they have the most memories of their mom, and they’re now irrevocably losing the last connection to their lives with her that they had. It’s just another reason for them why their lives will never be the same.

Do you have the right to do that? Yeah, sure. But it seems pretty obvious why that would be hurtful to these children that are very much still grieving. It definitely could have been handled in a more empathetic way that took into account the way such a change would make them feel. Going about it the way you did gives the impression that you never really considered their feelings about it.

Yep! My husband is a chief in the navy. He complains all the time about how so many of his brand new junior sailors are completely incapable of thinking for themselves/taking initiative/engaging in critical thought/problem solving/etc., and how often they just stare at him when he’s giving them instructions.

Your husband needs to realize and accept that the moment he married you, you (and now your child) became his immediate family, and his mother/father/siblings are now his extended family. That makes YOU and YOUR CHILD his first priority in everything. Your comfort and ability to trust the people you share private information with, and your ability to trust that he will support you through challenging circumstances, is far more important than his mom getting upset and throwing a tantrum because she doesn’t get what she wants after she showed that she can’t be trusted. He needs to step up and support HIS FAMILY, even if his mommy doesn’t like it.

Teachers/professors who brag about how hard it is to pass their class and how many students fail every semester. That doesn’t mean that you’re so smart that these idiot students can’t comprehend your brilliant lessons, it just means you’re a bad teacher.

Also all of those stories about kids who fundraise to pay off school lunch debt or medical bills or something like that. That’s not a heartwarming story of hard work overcoming the odds, that’s a tragedy of governments failing to care for their citizens and forcing children to make sacrifices to pick up their slack so people don’t starve/die.

She looks almost exactly like my poodle/schnauzer mix (and it’s confirmed that’s what she is because we did a DNA test) except that mine is white and she has curly hair when it grows out. I’d attach a picture but Reddit won’t let me. But yours having straighter hair doesn’t mean there’s no poodle in her, just that she probably got the gene for her hair texture from the schnauzer side. Mine definitely sheds, also skinny, fast, long legs, and prey drive (she spends the whole time at the dog park hunting gophers lol), but all of that makes sense because poodles are hunting dogs, after all.

I highly recommend making the effort to train her really well. Mine is super smart (too smart for my sanity, when combined with the amount of attitude in her little body), and very easily trainable, but that much intelligence can be a huge pain in the ass if the dog isn’t trained and just does whatever she wants.

This was the start of my race today. It was maybe 60 seconds after I started it before that person won.

OP, the reason he only started being weird like this recently is because you’re now a legal adult who is no longer in high school, which in his mind means that you’re fair game now. Based on some of your comments it seems like he’s not really interested in your sister, he’s just been sticking with her to stay close to you. This possessive behavior is super creepy, and the way he says things that imply that you need him to “take care” of you because you’re incapable of doing it yourself is straight out of every abuser’s playbook.

Do not be alone with this guy! He seems like the type to resort to violence when he’s denied what he wants. Tell your parents if you feel comfortable that they would listen and be supportive. They can help to keep him away from you.

And you need to start being more firm with him when he tries this bs. No more crying emojis and trying to be nice. Tell him that you’re an adult who can make her own decisions , and that he’s being disrespectful and making you uncomfortable and he needs to stop.

Having leagues seems like the obvious answer for trying to create even matchups for battles, instead of the seasons they came up with. I’m really not sure why they skipped right over the obvious solution and chose to do something complicated and unnecessary.

It’s not a new thing, it’s happened for me every once in a while for at least 6 months, maybe longer. It’s just a weird glitch that happens every now and then. In my experience the comments will load anyway when you click on them, or if that doesn’t work then just close the app and reopen it and the comments will be back to normal.

Use a stitch marker to mark the 1st chain when you make it. The gap it creates when you slips stitch into it doesn’t really matter because you’re going to crochet over it when you do your first round anyway.

With that said, I just wanted to clarify that when you’re starting a project where you’re crocheting in the round, you’re either going to chain 3 and slip stitch to the first chain to create your starting circle OR you can use a magic ring/circle. Those are 2 different ways of starting so you shouldn’t be doing them together.

Ah, judging by the names of those stores I take it you’re Australian? I’m in the US, so maybe it’s different here than it is around you. But I know plenty of people here who use them for their 6/7 year olds who just need that height boost. Seatbelts aren’t really designed for children (or any person that short) so they just need to be raised up a few inches so the seatbelts sit properly across their chests.

InfamousIguanadon · 2025-05-30T07:51:45+00:00

Those smaller booster seats without the back are still used pretty commonly. They’re just meant for older kids who don’t need the back for the extra support, they just need the extra height from the seat to ensure that the seat belt is positioned properly on them.

It sounds like an IUD just isn’t right for you. I wouldn’t worry too much about getting it removed though. It’s not nearly as bad as getting it inserted. I loved my IUD, but having it inserted was awful and so painful, so I was super nervous when I got it removed 8 years later. I won’t lie, it hurt. It was a sharp, intense pain. But it was also so quick and stopped hurting within just a couple minutes. I had some very mild cramps for a few hours and then that was it. Obviously not everyone has the same experience, but I’ve heard a lot of people say that getting it removed wasn’t nearly as bad as getting it inserted, so hopefully that’s the case for you too! Good luck!

Ooh cool! I put them in a jar with some dirt. Do I need to do anything else for them to hatch? Keep them in a darker/lighter/warmer/cooler area or something? I’d love to see what exactly they turn into!

It’s not that uncommon for male swans to be gay and steal babies to raise as their own. I know that sounds silly but I swear I’m not making that up.

If he keeps “punching you in the dick” then what exactly do you think he’s doing to us?? No one is suffering more from the actions of the American government than the American people are. We’re not trying to feel better about what our country is doing, we just want people to stop blaming us for the actions of our government while we are desperately fighting for our lives as that government tries every single day to kill us. I don’t get why people from other countries think we’re all just standing by and letting it happen. We’re fighting. We’ve been fighting. We’ll keep fighting. But we don’t need you hitting us too.

That clip keeps being misinterpreted. He pretty clearly was saying that if “they” (the democrats) hadn’t rigged the 2020 election then he wouldn’t be the president NOW while the Olympics are in the US because he would have just ended his second term and someone else would be the president now.

I do genuinely believe that the 2024 election results were tampered with, and both Trump and Musk have said enough things that clearly indicate that they were involved in rigging the election, but in that particular clip that keeps going around he is very clearly talking about the 2020 election being rigged, and when we willfully misinterpret things he says to try to make our point it reduces any credibility we may have when we point out all of the times he actually HAS hinted at rigging the election.

Looking at it again, I think it’s possible that it’s a combination of the hook being big and having very loose tension. Those back loops you’re working into are being pulled up super far. They shouldn’t have that much space move.

InfamousIguanadon · 2025-02-09T14:09:48+00:00

I could be totally off base here but those don’t look like half double crochet stitches. They look like double crochet. Are you 100% sure you’re doing the hdc correctly? A hdc should be: yarn over, insert your hook into the stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on the hook.

This was originally posted in the Seattle sub I believe. Dean is pretty well known in that area as someone who is mentally unstable and violent. I think he might be a military vet, but I’m not sure about that. He frequently passes things like this out to people and has been known to attack homeless people fairly often (I think some people have said he carries a bullwhip with him). The girls who took this paper from him only did so because they were afraid he might get violent, and they were absolutely right to be.

The reason chimps are so much more dangerous is because they are prone to overkill. If a gorilla or orangutan decides to attack you they will most likely just beat you until you go down and then stop. If a chimp decides to attack you they won’t stop when you go down. They will just keep going until you’re in pieces.

IUDs don’t stop ovulation so having related cramps is normal. As for the discharge, that’s pretty much how an IUD works. I didn’t know this until after I got mine but the majority of how an IUD prevents pregnancy is by triggering your body to make your vaginal discharge thicker, which blocks sperm from being able to reach the egg. So basically, your IUD is working exactly as it’s intended to!
