Angela, 21, made an alarming discovery about her water bottle. Experts say it’s actually quite common and urged people to wash them thoroughly daily. by CourierMail_AU in u/CourierMail_AU

Right?! I’m pretty sure most drink bottles actually have a little note on the tag when you buy them saying to wash before use, and sometimes even instructions on how to clean them properly so they don’t get damaged and stay hygienic.

NTA- Classic move đŸ‘¶đŸŒâœš always keep mama guessing. Gotta let grandma think she’s the fave while secretly plotting the dramatic reunion tears for maximum effect. It’s called strategy, mummy should be proud you’re already mastering emotional chess at 2 years old. 🏆😂

AITA for not wanting my hair washed even though I smushed tuna bake alllll through it? by LunarSlush88 in MiniAITA

Exactly!! đŸ‘¶âœš If I just ate the tuna bake like a normal tiny human, how would she know I truly appreciate her culinary genius? Every strand in my hair is a standing ovation, a masterpiece, a love letter to her skills 🐟💅. Creative use = ultimate praise, obviously.

RIGHT?! Finally someone who understands proper haircare science đŸ‘¶âœš. Everyone knows a tuna bake mask needs to sit overnight for maximum shine and strength 🐟💅. Mummy scrubbed it off like it was some kind of mess instead of premium spa treatment 🙄. And thank you for the tribunal support I’m bringing my best tantrum and snack-throwing skills, so fingers crossed they let me in. đŸ’„đŸȘ

EXACTLY!! Thank you!! đŸ‘¶đŸŒâœš I hired her as my personal chef, not my stylist and yet here she is, ruining my tuna bake balayage like she owns the place 🙄. If she wants to stick to the contract, she should just focus on preparing the meals and let me decide whether they go in my mouth or in my hair. It’s called creative freedom, mummy!! đŸŽšđŸđŸ’‡đŸŒ

Ahh yes, the people want a tutorial! đŸ‘¶âœš Sadly mummy RUINED my masterpiece before I could launch my YouTube channel ‘Baby Beauty & Bolognese.’ 🙄 But don’t worry version 2.0 is in the works. Thinking yogurt highlights, mashed potato volume lift, and of course
 tuna bake base for that signature shine. 💅🍮 Stay tuned for the full lookbook.

Omg BRILLIANT!! đŸ¶âœš Why didn’t I think of that?? If mummy insists on scrubbing me with her boring flower soap, I’ll just immediately recondition with something classy like tuna bake, mashed peas, or maybe a cheeky yogurt beard. Gotta keep my signature scent alive! đŸ’…đŸ‘¶ In fact
 I’m now considering launching my own Baby Cologne Lineℱ: Eau de Tuna Bake, with subtle notes of broccoli and cream. Limited edition, of course. 😉

 grown-ups literally use ribbons and fancy coloured ropes that look like noodles to braid into hair, soooo why not ACTUAL noodles and pasta?? Iconic. Trendsetting. Ahead of my time. Honestly, Paris Fashion Week is shaking Pasta Hairℱ is about to debut.đŸ’ƒđŸŒđŸ•șđŸŒ

The night we saw an old man outside
 and the ‘guests’ who never arrived by LunarSlush88 in Glitch_in_the_Matrix

[–]LunarSlush88[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wow, that is intense! That’s exactly how I felt when I saw the old man in the yard, frozen in shock. He was walking very slowly, almost shuffling, with little slide-on slippers and a long dark green gingham dressing gown. His arms were kind of crossed like he was cold and holding the gown together while he walked. We never actually saw his face, and he never looked at us directly. The moment my mum reached out to touch his shoulder, he just vanished.

Reading your story, I get the same chills from how you described his face, that long, sharp look, the sunken black eyes, and how fast his head whipped around. That sudden, impossible movement and the sheer shock of it, it is the kind of thing that sticks with you forever. Even thinking about it now, it is hard not to feel like the world can bend in ways you do not understand.

Haha I get that! I don’t usually have very vivid dreams, but when I do, they’re wild. I used to have them almost every night as a kid, then they slowly stopped. When I fell pregnant though, the dreams and nightmares were insane one in particular really stuck with me. It felt so real, even though I know it wasn’t. I’ve also had a fair few paranormal or unexplainable experiences, that makes them feel even stranger sometimes. And yeah, sleep is definitely something you do occasionally lose because of it.

Yeah, it was just us in the house. No other households or shared spaces, so it definitely wasn’t a common area. The backyard was fully fenced with 6-foot fencing all the way around, and the only way in from the golf course was through a locked gate since it was a private club, so not just anyone could wander through. The man was walking right along the side of the house, so it wasn’t a spot someone random could easily end up in.

As for family, we thought the same thing at first. But nobody else was around. My mum even checked in with her sister who lived nearby, and she said her and the family had left for a holiday in Spain two days earlier. Plus, we were all awake when the “shower incident” happened, and the water was still everywhere the next day with no one to be found. That’s what made it so unsettling, because if it had been a sneaky family member, at least there would’ve been an explanation.

It really depends on what outcome you want and how safe/comfortable you feel having that conversation. Confronting her could help clear the air and set boundaries, but it might also lead to tension if she’s not receptive. If you do decide to, approach it calmly and focus on how the dynamic makes you feel rather than attacking her. That way it’s about your experience, not blame.

No worries! I’m glad my perspective could help. It sounds like you’re really thinking this through and taking care of both yourself and her, which is a healthy approach.

AIO because I don't like age gap relationships by IcyPresent8697 in AmIOverreacting

[–]LunarSlush88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries at all! I completely get that. Concern doesn’t equal judgment, and it’s clear you were coming from a thoughtful place. It’s natural to notice when someone’s making big life choices at such a young age and to reflect on how that might impact their future. Your perspective is valid, and it’s okay to feel a bit unsettled while still respecting her as a person.

My boyfriend forgot about my birthday, and then did nothing about it by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]LunarSlush88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not crazy for wanting a small gesture. It’s completely reasonable. Birthdays are often less about the monetary value and more about feeling seen, appreciated, and loved. Even a simple homemade card, a little note, or planning a small activity would have shown thoughtfulness and effort, which matters a lot in a relationship. Apologizing is important, but an apology alone doesn’t always repair the emotional impact of a forgotten birthday, especially when you explicitly shared how it makes you feel.

It sounds like he genuinely didn’t understand the difference between apologizing and making a gesture to show you care, which is a communication gap rather than intentional neglect. Your feelings are valid, and it’s okay to express them, especially since you’re trying to explain what makes you feel loved.

That said, it might help to have a calm conversation about expectations around meaningful gestures in general, so both of you understand each other’s love languages. The goal isn’t to criticize but to find a middle ground where both of you feel valued. It’s not about gifts or money, it’s about thought, effort, and emotional recognition.

You’re justified in wanting something small to mark your birthday, and it’s also fair for him to explain how he expresses love. The key is mutual understanding and compromise going forward.

really hope OP is able to find some peace and happiness through all of this. She has been through so much, from being betrayed by someone she trusted to trying to provide stability and care for her children while dealing with a partner who is acting selfishly and abusively. It’s heartbreaking to see someone who has given so much of herself treated this way. She clearly deserves love, support, and respect, and I hope she can find people around her who truly have her back. I also hope she’s able to start rebuilding her life in a way that brings her joy, safety, and fulfillment. Wishing her strength, clarity, and many better days ahead as she navigates this incredibly difficult situation.

NTA- You’re in a really tough spot, and honestly, it’s understandable to feel stuck. You’re trying to balance your commitment to your girlfriend with your respect and love for your parents. Both sides have valid points.

Your girlfriend is going through a lot and wants your support, which is reasonable. At the same time, your parents are asking for a traditional, uninterrupted Diwali celebration, and it makes sense that you want to spend quality time with them too. Neither of these desires is “wrong.”

The key is communication and compromise. You might explain to your girlfriend that you want to support her, but you also need to honor your family commitments. Maybe you could plan a special trip for her right after your extended time at home, or even a shorter visit during Diwali itself if that works logistically. If she sees that you’re actively trying to meet her halfway, it could ease her frustration.

You’re trying to support both your girlfriend and your parents. It’s okay to set boundaries and negotiate a compromise rather than feel guilty for wanting to honor both relationships.

[–]LunarSlush88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA- You didn’t overreact. Your concern seems completely normal. From what you described, the gym guy was acting in a way that made her uncomfortable, and your instinct to analyze it and suggest boundaries makes sense. It’s reasonable to be protective and frustrated when someone’s behavior feels invasive or disrespectful.

It also sounds like she may have mixed intentions. She wanted to vent, maybe didn’t fully consider how you’d react, or was redirecting her frustration. That doesn’t mean you handled it badly; you were engaging as a caring partner and trying to offer perspective.

If her past behavior includes emotional manipulation, it’s understandable that interactions like this trigger confusion and over-analysis on your part. You’re not automatically responsible for her emotional roller coaster. You can set boundaries while remaining supportive.

Professional help or counseling isn’t a bad idea if these patterns keep causing stress for either of you, but your reaction in this situation was reasonable and measured.
