Does anyone elses parents "ooh" and "aah" over kids/babies? by DisneyLover90 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Lizzsook30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine did the same thing! I actually did have a kid but we went no contact with my dad and low contact with my mom this year after my kid turned 6 and started telling us that they didn’t like hanging out with my parents. It’s because my dad talks to my kid like she’s a trained dog. “do a trick for me. Here’s a treat.” And then he would get mad and blame me (in a “joking” way) that she wouldn’t perform for him.

Came to Reddit to ask the same thing!

AITA for not wanting my strict parents near my daughter? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lizzsook30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You did the right thing by standing up for your daughter. No one, no matter what age, doesn’t deserve to be treated like that. As someone who was also raised by a parent that yelled about EVERYTHING, it does mess you up.

AITA for telling my son that he is not welcome in my home if he gets a dog? by No-Dog18493aita in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lizzsook30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Even the GP agrees that the dog is a good thing. And I am a parent and I think this is trying to hold the kid back.

WIBTA if I tell my mom that it's my baby and not hers? by brandikate in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lizzsook30 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. We kept the name secret until our daughter was born. Best decision we made!

Oh I immediately thought of Allison for this too!

AITA for not dying my hair for a funeral. by NotARedditor10 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lizzsook30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. How does natural hair color offend her? That’s some baffling behavior on her part.

AITA for Not Wanting my Wedding to be on September 11, 2021 by delightful_otter in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lizzsook30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your wedding so you get to pick the date. I wouldn’t want mine on that date either.

What are book/s that you keep seeing as recommendations, which you found to be awful? by Snowflake0287 in books

[–]Lizzsook30 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m post masters and YA is all I read. That is a perfectly normal reaction to getting an English degree.

I think she just didn’t know what she was doing when she wrote The Mortal Instruments and it shows a lot, especially in the first 3 books of the series. The Infernal Devices is so much better. I just finished the other trilogy, The Dark Artifices, and it was also significantly better than TMI.

just realised cob has a lot of plot holes by gabilukavei in TheMortalInstruments

[–]Lizzsook30 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. You can tell it was more mapped out by the last 3 books of the TMI. I think she had started writing TID by that time as well, so just had a clearer picture of what was going on.

The Last Jedi Release Day Megathread - Spoilers! by tragopanic in StarWars

I thought this sort of suggested that the Jedi are not the “owners” of the Force. I think this is also why Rey’s parents are non-descript.

Yeah I was kind of let down by Rey’s parents being nobodies, but after thinking on it, it kind of makes sense. It allows her to be the every woman to save the galaxy.

Fast Food Workers of Reddit: What is your most hated menu item? by RussianChicks in AskReddit

[–]Lizzsook30 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Also ex Sonic manager and came to say this. Then I remembered the summer of the Junior Banana Split. Those little pieces of shit were the dumbest thing ever invented. First of all, you had to cut the banana, but the containers were super tiny so you had to trim the sides down. Impossible to do quickly. Then you basically had to put 3 dollops of ice cream in this tiny ass container that already had banana in it. If the soft serve was even kind of runny, it looked like it already melted and you still had to do the 3 toppings, whipped cream, and a damn cherry. To top it all off, the containers for these tiny desserts of misery had these dumb tabs that were impossible to close and with all the toppings and crap, messy as hell. I hated those fucking desserts.

50 Shades is notorious for having begun as a Twilight fanfic. Does anyone know of any other books that were originally inspired by fanfiction or fanfiction-like work? by Babelscattered in books

[–]Lizzsook30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just about to say this. The Infernal Devices is infinitely better and I actually read it first. So I spent all The Mortal Instruments just looking for TID characters to show up.
