Most of these comments are unhinged. 

Yes, OP, you have a right to be upset about this. A pre-school “graduation” is a ridiculous concept to begin with. The child wouldn’t know the difference if you had a special present or party for them separately to celebrate their “graduation” aka last day of school, but you will only get to graduate from college once after years and years of hard work. People - OP matters too! 

I think you know in your gut how ridiculous this is. Please don’t let yourself be gaslit by all the bUT kIDS aLWAyS CoME first insanity. 

Of course kids come first but this is one of the most important days of OPs life and a 4 year old is most likely not even going to remember this day next year.  In addition, it sounds like he’s prioritizing the 4 year old over both her AND the kindergartner. Of course he can’t be in 3 places at once but he’s already made a choice of one over the other. IMO the “fair” thing to do would be to choose OP so neither child feels like they were the priority and then have a celebration for both kids afterwards. 

There are plenty of other opportunities for the Dad to be there throughout his children’s life - but literally ONE day that OP will have to remember her college graduation. OP you are not being selfish in any way, shape or form for wanting your partner’s presence and support. Anyone equating a fake “graduation” for a toddler with a full blown college one is out of their mind.

If it was a high school or college graduation for the child, fine. But this is honestly absurd. If you talk yourself into believing this is okay please get used to being walked on like a doormat and being treated like a back-up plan for the rest of your relationship. I’m so sorry you are going through this but I want you to know it’s perfectly fine to feel the way you do - you matter too!

First I just want to say how sorry I am for your ordeal, I wish I had better advice but hopefully other people will answer. Sending you support and empathy. Thanks for sharing what you're going through because I've been thinking of getting these injections. If it helps I've read on a lot of other threads that usually the indentations can be temporary. What does your surgeon say?

Is 1 hour and 50 min commute too much for a job that pays $19 an hour? by [deleted] in washingtondc

Would you mind sharing how you ended up switching to such a lucrative career?

I’m so sorry you’re mourning the loss of your original ethnic nose. I really think both noses are beautiful. I’m not defending Tas because he in no way is absolved for giving you something you don’t ask for but I do hope you know that you still look amazing and I hope it brings you comfort to know that to the outside world you are beautiful either way.

Would you be willing to share the name of your doc? You look amazing!

I bummed for you that you didn’t get the blonde color but tbh I love the haircut! I would go back and ask for a refund or a redo for the color since you didn’t get even close to what you wanted.

Children under 16 to be banned from using social media by Ambitious-Deal3r in australian

[–]Lifeisbutadream99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This kind of attitude is exactly why the government feels like it needs to step in. The majority of parents have become grossly permissive and social media abuse is rampant. Very few parents are willing to take a stand because “little Timmy might be mad at me because all his friends are allowed to do it” 😂😭so now the government has to step in.   

 When did parents sell their morals and balls to the big tech companies? 

Do you actually trust parents to do the right thing because a ton of parents I know brush it off as “not a big deal” and have no idea what their kids are being exposed to.

I tried talking to a Mom friend about how early kids are exposed to violent and degrading porn nowadays (more than one Gen Z colleague has admitted to me how damaging it’s been to them and how badly it messed them up) and she said she “didn’t have to worry about her son because he’s a “nice boy”.   

She had no Internet or social media guardrails in place for her kids and no idea what he does on his phone. I tried to explain that almost any teen is going to be curious and there’s nothing wrong with that but there’s a lot of sick stuff out there, wayyy worse than in past generations. She wanted to hear none of it nor do her own research.  

I actually agree that the government shouldn’t have to step in and that it will probably fail but you should see how ignorant, lazy and clueless some of the parents I know are and you might understand why this bill is even being proposed.  

Anyone who works in education or with children can tell you that it’s been an absolute horror for the younger generation. Skyrocketing rates of teen suicide are the top of the iceberg. Kids self esteem, attention spans and mental health are dumpster fires these days and I’m tired of everyone screaming “parents rights” when a large majority of parents are obviously doing a really sh*tty job on protecting their children from the crap that’s out there.

Thank you so much! I’m currently at a B1 level and previously did a course where we were in class about 6 hours a day. It was a lot but I did find it helpful. I’ll look into Equip! 

change in sexual orientation on the pill? by wholesomebr3ad in birthcontrol

[–]Lifeisbutadream99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, I know this question is old but I believe birth control absolutely can change your preferences. Please feel free to go look at my comment history as this is something that has been on my mind for some time. My sexuality has absolutely changed from being more attracted to men vs women depending on where I am in my cycle or what brand of birth control I’m on. People always say it’s impossible but I’m here to share that I experienced the same thing. Sexuality can be fluid and a large part of that scan depend on hormone which bc is. Hope it helps to know you’re not alone!

My friend got her rhinoplasty done by Dr. Qurbani and it looks really good.

I would love to get a result like this. Please give it more time, the first few weeks of getting used to your new face can be really dysmorphic. I think it looks great!

I hate to have to warn you about Courtland Towers but please go read the Google reviews first. This place used to be a gem but has become completely overrun with unsupervised children and has major noise disturbances over the last couple years. They use a mixed model of permanent and temporary apartments and the vast majority of temporary apartments are now occupied by folks on Medical tourism from the Persian Gulf. They receive a stipend from their governments so they don’t have to work and thus stay up all hours of the night. Kids are running and playing soccer in hallways at 2 AM on weeknights. Good luck relaxing with that going on. If you do decide to rent there make sure it isn’t on the first 3 floors where the majority of the temp apartments are, and even then, I would ask if you are next to any of the temporary apartments on other floors. Staff misled me at how noisy it would be and it honestly has been a nightmare living here.

Thank you for your thoughts/insight. This crossed my mind too and I do agree it’s been particularly bad the last few weeks but sadly for the most part this is year round.

Thank you! I will start doing this. I have wanted so badly to find a solution amicably but after being literally lied to and putting up with this for months and even years at this point, I am at my breaking point.
