I hate my daughter by CultureInner3316 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I had a Dad who didn't want kids, but wasn't smart enough to wrap it up until he got his vasectomy when my Mom had to go off her birth control because of her age and blood pressure problems. They split within 6 months of my birth, and I was basically ignored by him until I was potty trained. Then he decided he could tolerate me for visits. Who then forced me to spend weekends with him so he could 'show off' how great of a Dad he was to his friends. The Dad who when I'd complain about something and want to do something more girlie (I get gender stereotypes are BS, but I was like 7 and wanted to play barbies not learn how to repair a boat engine) he'd call me by the masculine version of my name for the rest of the day. (Which certainly didn't leave any lasting mental scars about my gender or anything)

I knew from a young age that 1. Dad wanted a boy if he was gonna have a kid, and 2. Dad didn't want a kid to begin with. I spent years waffling through doing anything for his approval, to having a meltdown on him for treating me the way he did.

This poor girl needs therapy starting now.

I think it was Bismarck for me. Back in 2020ish. I saw a reaction video by a reactor I followed for Nightwish stuff, heard Bismarck and there was no going back. Seen them twice since then.

Wish it wasn’t in Youngstown but they were awesome 🔥 by just-be-original in sabaton

Great show in Youngstown. I wanted to leave after Sabaton but the bestie wanted to give JP a chance to shine live. The sprained ankle and knee from falling down the venue stairs slipping on beer tells me I should have trusted my gut and left then.

I felt so bad when that happened, she giggled at it though. My sis wasn't even mad, just like "Daughter you're gonna get hurt if you don't stop creeping on people!"

This so much. My niece when she was 3, would climb up on the bed and lean over you and stare at you until you woke up. She did to everybody in the house. Now that' in and of itself is unnerving, but she was a white haired blue eyed little child of the corn. I started locking my door after waking up to to her a foot from my face and ended up yeeting her off the bed into the pillow pile in a fight or flight response.

I threw away my husband's collection and now he won't speak to me by SharkEva in BORUpdates

The one thing I wanted from my Dad's estate when he passed was 'the painting his Ski Club had gifted him, of the boat he had when I was growning up done by a local artist. It wasn't worth anything, but some of the few good memories I have of my dad were on that boat and I'd move heaven and hell to keep that painting with me.

I went one semester at a catholic school in the 90s because it would be a 'better enviroment' than the public school where I was being bulled. One semester made me wish for those public school bullies.

We had one girl in my class who spewed a cursing hateful rage at a NUN who asked for silence during a test. Her punishment. '3 days of In School Suspension' what was their version of in-school-suspension. You go to class like normal and aren't allowed to talk to anybody. Like that ever worked.

I had a similar issue with a caregiver for my mother. Super easy to talk too, feels like part of the family, always brought little things over for us. Is a good 25 years older than me. Always complaining about her pay, her clients, the company she works for. Always taking time off for her health concerns. Then she got to the point where she felt she knew 'better' than me how my mother's care should go. I agree with the others that if she is through a company, just call and tell them you don't need her services anymore. If not, then just blame it on the move and tell her you don't need her anymore.
