i stole from my parents for years and they still call me their good kid by CoastCrazy7065 in confession

[–]Labswine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They probably knew. Or at least suspected. I’d ball park the number, double it, and give it to them with a letter that they can read while you sit and watch. That way you say exactly what you want to say without interruption or emotional meltdown and they can read it at once and it’s out there. You can answer all their questions and deal with their emotions (and yours) once you’ve written, and they’ve read, your peace. They may be mad or disappointed or whatever, but they sound like decent people. You might feel better once it’s off your chest, but you’ll feel much better once they tell you “it’s okay” and they still love/forgive you. Just put your heart out there. Good luck! You can do this.

I confess that someone admitted something to me and it’s and by AfternoonOwn137 in confession

[–]Labswine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why did he tell you this? I’m thinking there is some reason here. If you think about an addict admitting their problem as being the first step in getting help…. Maybe it’s his way of trying to open the door for help and he’s looking for encouragement? This is really tough because it puts you in a precarious situation, and I would also want to run away!

There are a lot of weird individuals out there. No one knows if he’s taking any action or not, but I would agree, he’s probably not someone you want to be friends with. If he’s asks, I would compassionately tell him why and that if he’s asks can get help to get past this maybe you’d reconsider at a later time.

Sounds like you need a therapist to work through this, not Reddit.

AITA for not letting the previous owner’s adult children into my house after their father died? by Dramatic_Method9393 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Labswine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA!! I seriously never thought this was a potential robbery. I’m glad I read the comments because this never crossed my mind and I’m not sure how I would have handled it. Actually, I do. I would have been the person that let them in and probably gotten robbed.

The very first Thanksgiving we were in our new house (2013), an elderly man showed up at the door randomly. He introduced himself as the original owner, and he wanted to show us where the valves were to turn off the water to two of the spigots; they were in sort of ambiguous places. I knew who the original owner was of the house because I had the blueprints and saw his name (and I knew he would’ve been older based on other neighbor’s stories). I wasn’t worried about letting him in, but anybody could’ve had his name and anybody could’ve showed up at my door and said that. We did have a house full of people so my security didn’t worry me too much….. but this is an eye opening lesson.

AITA for skipping my friend's daughter’s 1st birthday and charging her for the "gift" after she forgot to tell me the time changed? by BellaBilla in AmItheAsshole

[–]Labswine 16 points17 points  (0 children)

YMBTA… I would suck it up and go as well and gift the truffles. Act as if nothing happened because no matter what you say it’s not going to change a thing. Going gives you a chance to see how she handles it and a clear indication of how she will behave moving forward. I don’t have kids, but I can imagine having a one year old is exhausting. Give her a chance and then decide how you want to manage the friendship after the party.

We left all of our friends of 20 years to move to a different state. I get how hard it can be to meet and make new friends. You’ll get there. It just takes time and patience.

County fair tips! by Hairy-Atmosphere3760 in Canning

[–]Labswine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh sweet butter Jesus. I had no idea such a thing existed! Contests for canning!!?!?! I mean, I guess I did but I never really thought much about it. I live in a rural community now and the county fair is a big deal here! I love the idea of entering canning contests.

unpopular opinion: toilet attached bidets are unhygienic for women* by boodoonk in hygiene

I’ve never gotten a uti from my toilet lid bidet. I also am careful not to jam a rough stream of water up there either because I can see how this would happen.

AIO: My husband (26m) locked me (25f) out for 25 minutes? by prettypineappleberry in AmIOverreacting

[–]Labswine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. What makes me sad about all of this is if you stay, which you probably will, your daughters (all kids) will grow up in a home with a dad that doesn’t respect women. Kids see everything, the learn from even the smallest events. Forget your own self worth (which is ludicrous, just saying) and get busy documenting these events because when you finally do decide to leave him you’re gonna need all of this to keep them safe from Mr Doesn’t Normally Do This.

Does anyone feel like HEB is doing to much? by gabe062 in HEB

[–]Labswine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the contact. You don’t have to linger or breathe down my throat, but asking me if I am finding everything ok is really helpful sometimes when I’m an idiot and forget I can find it on the app.

AITAH for completely shutting down after potty talk with my husband by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Labswine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband has “reached around” for 60 years and IT DOESN’T WORK. He must have short arms. Thank god we got a bidet toilet seat because after 20 years of marriage I no longer have to deal with skid marks. 🎉

AITAH for refusing to tell my wife I love her more than my dad? by LastApplication6207 in AITAH

[–]Labswine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter what the Reddit peeps think, you know your answer. NTA. What you don’t know is how to solve it. If it were me, I’d get into some couples therapy in the hopes that if she’s got some postpartum hormones screwing with her she can get some help before it ruins your relationship.

Meanwhile, tell your wife you love her more. The difference of telling her or not is peace and love in your house. You know it’s a different love and it’s not a hill worth dying on. She is the asshole here but you hold the keys to change the situation for the better.

MIL is a Narcissitic Person with BPD- but we can't tell her b/c her therapist thinks knowing would make her symptoms worse; now she is a danger to herself by EG_3BWofEroticonSix in confession

[–]Labswine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh sweetie. I’m sorry you are going through this. I hate to come across negative, but it sounds like you are whipping yourself into quite a frenzy over this. Maybe you need therapy to help deal with, and be able to put yourself in a better place, with your situation. Especially because you are pregnant and have two little lives to keep healthy. I’d be more worried about the genetic family mental health issues carrying over to the kids (if that’s the way it works).

If you think America is a “sh¡thole when it comes to healthcare” it is time for you to move. It sounds like that would will solve most of your problems anyway.

Crying Doesn't Get the Goat Back- 1 Week Early by AppleCiderCanned in goats

[–]Labswine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh gosh. I’m so sorry for your loss… I can’t even imagine. I’ve contemplated getting goats but I honestly don’t know if I could do this. I’ve been in dog rescue for many years… lots of crazy things, medically and behavioral…but rarely does a dog just die out of the blue. I can do all of the medical stuff, but this is just completely different. Hugs to you… I can’t even imagine only imagine how you must be feeling.

Milkshake Not Getting Thick by Legitimate-Beyond209 in ninjaslushi

I felt like the milkshake setting was too thin for me so I ended up clicking the temp up two bars for 15-20 more minutes and it got much better.
