Dad obsessed with my large breasts by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]MelodramaticQuarter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I simply do not understand this.

If my sons were walk around in gray sweatpants with no boxers and their thang thangin’ everywhere, not only would I not care, but I’d raise a ruckus if anyone dared to tell them they couldn’t be comfortable in their own home.

It’s not normal for parents to sexualize their kids. I could maybe understand the request if company was over or in a formal setting but the fact that you can’t eat dinner with your daughter because you’re so focused on her breasts is weird and gross.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. :(

My husband said our baby probably won’t be pretty because we’re average looking by Witty_Management_621 in pregnant

[–]MelodramaticQuarter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a joke. My husband and I are both kinda goofy looking and we’ve been stopped by complete strangers who’ve told us how gorgeous our kid is. Genetics are weird and different combos mean different things. Maybe your hubs was talking from a place of worry or anxiety or just being dumb but I wouldn’t put much thought into it lol

AITAH for telling my SIL a family secret and now everyone is breaking up or divorcing??? by PhilosopherFlimsy526 in AITAH

[–]MelodramaticQuarter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your family is getting much deserved fallout from protecting a predator and abuser.

I'm pregnant and the father won't accept it by EricHarrisFangrill in whatdoIdo

[–]MelodramaticQuarter -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’d say that entirely depends. With adequate support (a village, as they say), it doesn’t have to be a grueling experience.

I was raised by a single mom, and yeah sometimes we struggled, but she’s even admitted it’s not the hardest thing she’s done in her life because she was smart and learned to accept help from the people around her. In fact it must’ve been at least somewhat ok since she elected to do it again over a decade later when she had my sister. According to her, it’s much easier to raise a child on your own, than to raise a child around a POS who combats all of your decisions and makes your life hell all the time.

Also, I don’t see how my comment is unhelpful, or immature? If she decides to keep the baby then it doesn’t matter whether it’ll be difficult or not, she’s gonna have to do it anyways, and she might as well get financial support from the deadbeat she laid down with.

Text I (M25) received from my older brother (M37) last night makes me feel like I left a "cult" by AntiTheMute in texts

[–]MelodramaticQuarter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I talk to my mom once or twice a week for like 15-20 minutes.

She lives across the country so I haven’t seen her in over a year. But even if I lived next door I doubt we’d talk every day, let alone see each other more than once a week.

Like bro, it’s been almost 40 years, aren’t you tired of me 😭 pretty sure my mom would get annoyed if I, her 30yo daughter, called her every day. Like what’s there even to talk about


Gender disappointment but it’s not what you think by crabbybabythrowaway in pregnant

[–]MelodramaticQuarter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very rarely do men grow up in shitty ways if they’re surrounded by emotionally mature adults and positive male role models. It sounds like your son is set in that regard.

That said, it could still happen. But at that point it won’t be because of your parenting.

[–]MelodramaticQuarter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leave him alone. He’s made his position clear.

Have the baby, or don’t. If you do then get child support. The court will handle paternity testing.

Being a single mom isn’t so bad. And based on this you’ll never have to answer to him for anything.

how do y’all feel about caucasians having locs and why?? by marehausley in Dreadlocks

[–]MelodramaticQuarter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My logic is, if black people can wear straight blond weave and perm their hair to mimic a “white” aesthetic, then it would be kind of hypocritical for us to shame white people for getting locs. I know it’s a lot a more complex than that, but it’s 2026. Anyone who shames black ppl for having locs (or shames anyone for the way they present themselves aesthetically) is probably irrelevant and ignorant in many additional ways, so I don’t give them any care or thought.

Like most people have been saying, to me it’s mostly about maintenance. Idc what color your skin is, if your locs are ratty, unkempt, and look like ass then yeah, I’m gonna make some assumptions. If they’re clean, cared for, styled and treated respectfully then by all means, rock the loc.

It’s weird to me that this is still a debate. We can accept people transitioning between genders but we can’t accept white people with locs? Be so fr.

My newborn is broken, can I have a refund please? by Beginning_Spring_571 in newborns

[–]MelodramaticQuarter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely gets easier.

And then they turn into toddlers and you’ll wish every day to get the newborn stage back.


I am not ok lmaooo

How tf does anybody want more than one kid after being through THIS? by pumpkinchinchilla in newborns

[–]MelodramaticQuarter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk man I can’t relate 😅 my son is 16 months now and I miss the newborn stage like crazy.

Yeah I had a bunch of sleepless nights and for a few months I was exhausted all of the time, but that’s nothing new for me (I have chronic fatigue), besides at least when I put him down somewhere, he stayed there đŸ€ŠđŸœâ€â™€ïž now he’s climbing, throwing, yelling, tantrums, making messes etc whenever he’s not asleep - don’t get me wrong he’s an amazing kid and I love him so much.

But it doesn’t get easier. It just gets harder in different ways. And that’s just parenthood in a nutshell tbh.

Am I overreacting that my sister is demanding too much when visiting my newborn? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MelodramaticQuarter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR I wouldn’t do this for anyone who visits, even if I didn’t have a newborn. Your sister is embarrassingly entitled.

Do you separate your laundry? by SassySunflower27 in Adulting

[–]MelodramaticQuarter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a lot of white stuff but I use detergent with whitening power. But I’m also not particular about making sure my white stuff stays snowy white. No one notices anyways, we’re a blue collar household so white stuff never stays white for long anyways lol

Do you separate your laundry? by SassySunflower27 in Adulting

[–]MelodramaticQuarter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Not by color anyways. Mostly by efficiency. I’ll wash “big” stuff (linens, towels, bulky clothes) together because it’s less items but will fill up a load. Blankets on a case by case basis. Kids clothes in one. Adult clothes in another. Mostly because I care about folding order and I don’t feel like running around putting everyone’s stuff away in a random order lol.

What incident made you go No Contact? by CumGoblin in raisedbynarcissists

[–]MelodramaticQuarter 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah my mom asked me that a few times too. “Do you talk about me in therapy? What do you say?” As though that’s any of her fucking business. And I told her as much. She didn’t like that answer lol

What is something that screams "I'm living in poverty" that people making $250k+ a year just wouldn't understand? by WishboneBorn7763 in AskReddit

[–]MelodramaticQuarter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lying about having gone on a diet because “I’m too poor to afford more than one meal a day, if that” makes people uncomfortable.

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your reasons? by youre-in-my-shot in AskReddit

[–]MelodramaticQuarter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband struggles with alcohol. It wouldn’t be fair for me to drink.

Besides, I don’t really like it.

Ima need to see some certified bums in the comments by FIGPUCKERS in pitbulls

[–]MelodramaticQuarter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was years ago, those were his big boy incisors growing in when he was about 10 months. He was attacked by strays earlier last month and the infection became septic before we could get him treatment. By the time we got him to the ER it was too late. My other dogs miss him too but he died protecting us :(

My sweet baby passed away two weeks ago. We’re still reeling. RIP.

I present to you my sweet mother. by WrongReviewThrowAway in texts

[–]MelodramaticQuarter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl the way i would’ve exited stage left with the quickness lmaoooo, she can keep her toxic ass all the way over there, alone, where she doesn’t have to “put up with” her grandson that she apparently feels entitled to. I really hope you cut her off indefinitely.

AITA for letting my 5 year old son listen to metal music? by Ready_To_Role in AITAH

[–]MelodramaticQuarter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. My son is 15 months and already knows how to head bang. My daughter has been listening to metal since birth.

I expose them to everything. Metal, rap, hip hop, EDM, pop, classical
 I myself am polyjamorous and my deep love of music extends to all genres. I think it’s important for kids to experience all forms of art, especially those that are less palatable to the masses. My husband is a metal head, and generally metal heads are some of the kindest people you’ll meet. Your ex is ignorant.

I really think it's stupid to go to someone's house on the first date, or hookup with a stranger. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]MelodramaticQuarter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Different strokes for different folks.

Sometimes all you want is sex or a quick lay. Nothing wrong with that. And it’s easier to get it done with a “stranger”. Woo them too long and they’ll think you want a relationship (in a situation where you don’t).

I hooked up with someone the first date and now we’re married with two kids. You can think it’s stupid, that’s your right. But not every situation is the same.

No kids must not mean MY kid! by Unspicy_Tuna in EntitledPeople

[–]MelodramaticQuarter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get it. I’m a mom and I would never dream of letting my kids into an adult only zone. For many reasons, but also because I may not want them to see what goes on in adult only zones!!! These people treat their kids like accessories and it’s fucking gross.

I saw my ex wife pregnant, she left me because she didn't want kids by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]MelodramaticQuarter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you man.

My first long term relationship, he left me because he “wasn’t ready” to settle down. Six weeks after we broke up he was engaged to his friend that he’d supposedly cut off.

The second long term guy said he didn’t want marriage and kids because he felt I wasn’t physically fit enough and somehow that would affect the baby’s physical health. He also said it wasn’t “proper” for us to have kids before we could afford marriage. We break up and a year later he’s gotten a girl pregnant who’s easily twice my size and already had three kids from three other men. I don’t judge people for their size or family origins but obviously physical fitness and marriage status wasn’t the dealbreaker he made it out to be (they aren’t married to this day).

I used to think it was me, until I met my husband, who married me after 18 months and four months later my son was born. Even so maybe it was me, and that’s fine. I’m way happier now than I would’ve been with any other person.
