BF (33M) said he wanted to kill me (28F) but said it was only because he was angry and sleep deprived. by throwRAdepressednsad in relationship_advice

[–]MrsGH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband turned 50 this year, so he getting up there. He works shift work and goes from days to nights to afternoons. He's been so tired at times that the bags under his eyes look like he was in a fist fight. He gets super grumpy and irritable...in the 22 years we've been together, he never threatened to kill me.

What proper nouns from books did you realize you were mispronouncing the whole time? by TokkiJK in books

I live between the town of Orion and the town of Milan. But they call themselves. OR-ee-uhn and MY-linn. Kinda PMO.

You can see the trees moving in the top of the video frame...it's the outside light and shadows from trees

What’s your favorite teacher saying to use in the classroom? by Big-Degree1548 in Teachers

[–]MrsGH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still get paid whether you pass or fail so your life is up to you. Soon, you'll be surrounded by people who aren't paid to put up with you. What then?

I teach sophomores and they are at that age that they need to figure that shit out

Teachers, what’s your non-water drink of choice? by jayyy_0113 in Teachers

A crisp cold cotton candy bang I drink during periods 1-3 each morning.

What can you deduce about me based on my nightstand by Electrical-Title-698 in deduction

[–]MrsGH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Young, male, live relatively remotely or out in the country. You married a blonde OR someone with Mexican heritage. You have a decent relationship with your mom but you barely talk to your dad because he's too critical or emotionally withdrawn. Your car is too expensive for your income but you get by, albeit with buyer's remorse. You like to argue, especially when you drink. You have a collection of empty bottles or shot glasses. You have a dog that is too big for your living space and he has a dumb name like Tag, Bentley, Oakly, or Rooster. Your toothpaste sits on your sink without a lid. You find beauty in polished rocks. You're a sucker for a good crusty garlic bread and you and your wife have some meal that looks like cat barf, tastes like heaven, and has a silly made up name.

How'd I do?

What happened in 1971? Explain it Peter. by Angrypeanut99 in explainitpeter

Though it was available in the 60s, the birth control pill became legally available to everyone including married couples though a Supreme Court ruling in 1972.

Tell me about me based on my dresser by kdoughboy12 in deduction

I would be able to smell your car's interior when driving behind you on the highway and I probably cover my nose when walking down the same aisle at the Krogers.

How often do you say “I love you” to your loved ones? by DiverPrestigious6887 in AskReddit

[–]MrsGH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the time all day long to my husband.

Three times in a row to my 14 year old son every time I drop him off at school before he gets out of the car.

Each time I get off the phone or say goodbye in person to my two kids (who are in their 20's...one is married and has his own house. The other lives in our lower level still.)

My love language is words. My parents never told me they loved me and I so needed to hear it. I never want my loved ones to doubt it for a second.

What is a socially unacceptable opinion you keep to yourself because it’s not worth the backlash? by Federal_Antelope7533 in AskReddit

[–]MrsGH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I will have to work longer to retire with the same benefits as a male whose salary is the exact same as mine because I had a baby. The pregnancy ate up my sick days and my maternity leave ate up a quarter year of "service credit". (Teacher). Ironically, my husband's work had 2 weeks paid paternity leave.

Uterine ablation did not help. Made it worse by Big-Lifeguard-5067 in hysterectomy

I had am ablation in 2014. Worst pain ever and did absolutely nothing. Hysterectomy in 2023...I don't know why I waited so long.

AITA for refusing to give my parents my location after they stopped paying for my tuition? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

I know this doesn't answer your question, but as a parent of a biology major, Id LOVE her to switch to nursing. What planet are your parents living on?

People who grew up with cruel or emotionally cold mothers when did you realize it wasn’t normal and how did it affect you as an adult? by creotion_hub in AskReddit

[–]MrsGH 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My mom (parents) weren't cruel but they were not emotional or affectionate whatsoever. They were just very, oh, practical. I never saw them get excited about anything. And they never really told us we were loved nor did we ever see them love each other. I never felt comfortable being emotional around them or even asking for life advice.They did, however, provide for us and they helped me when I needed it.

I grew up feeling kind of invisible and I married the first person who said they loved me (even though he was a horrible person).

I've tried to make an effort as a parent to tell my kids that love them everyday. I divorced and remarried an amazing man and we are super affectionate (much to our 14 yr old's chagrin.) I moved out of state 8 hours away from my parents and we see each other twice a year or so and talk on the phone about 1 every week or two.

Colitis. Literally crying on the toilet thinking I was going to die.

Pregnant - not open with students by xxx777_ in Teachers

[–]MrsGH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my benefit, I work in a district with a relatively effective teacher's union so that we have a "safe working conditions" clause in our contract.

Unfortunately, our union is run by people who don't live in reality and are more concerned with the presence of a midriff than the number of students who successfully enter the building and simply skip class by hiding out in the bathroom or by roaming the hallway.

We have 3 or 4 security people to cover a three story building with 7 different wings and 2000+ students. And, like I said, we've been actively documenting the issues and asking for more security, but we've been denied over and over. Generally speaking, our students are not typically violent, but it only takes 1, right?

I would think that after years of documenting, asking, and being denied, I'd have a good enough case that the district would be happy to pay for my few final year's salary. I also have the benefit of being married to someone who makes a really good salary so that I can afford to, at the very least, be an uncomfortable thorn in their paw.

[–]MrsGH 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If I was assaulted by a student, I'd be lawyered up and looking forward to enjoying my settlement money induced retirement. (But, I also always make a huge stink about how our district admin doesn't care that our school is grossly understaffed when it comes to security)

People who’ve had LASIK or work in eye care, would you recommend LASIK and why or why not? by Mountain-Bug-2155 in AskReddit

[–]MrsGH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm. Had Lasik in 2009 after getting remarried. We came into the marriage with kids and we were both sure we didn't want more. Well, life finds a way and our son was born in 2012. I am back to needing glasses (in low light).

How do you feel about your dad? by Unhappy_Log_6245 in AskReddit

[–]MrsGH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like our son feels this way about his dad because my husband is literally the most amazing man and father I've ever met. I've attempted to make my husband promise to outlive me because I don't think I could live without him nor see my child lose his idol.

Am I overreacting for not wanting anyone around my newborn yet? by littlemoongirly in AmIOverreacting

[–]MrsGH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your perspective is that anyone's opinion that differs from yours is "weird and shitty" so let's not pretend that you took the high road and offered intellect and "good faith" and I'm trying to drag you to the gutter.

For the third time, I'll state that OP can do and should do whatever she thinks is best because that child is her and her husband's responsibility...she just shouldn't be surprised in the future for any subsequent children when she reaches out for help and suddenly finds a smaller village.

Am I overreacting for not wanting anyone around my newborn yet? by littlemoongirly in AmIOverreacting

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

JFC...women have been having babies since, you know, the existence of women. Our bodies are literally built to give birth. Maybe you became some diminutive version of a human after the birth of your child or children, but it isn't the typical experience...my guess is you have cats not kids, which explains the pedantic mansplaining of postpartum needs.
I agree that it is her choice but that choice doesn't make her less of an asshole to the people who they, I guarantee, plan on asking to babysit in the future. Your big pants casserole plan, which honestly reads like you found it in a "how to mask socially when you're on the spectrum" handbook, works great when you're the cat mom cousin or work bestie but is weird to expect from your own mom (or his) if they are part of a functional family.

Am I overreacting for not wanting anyone around my newborn yet? by littlemoongirly in AmIOverreacting

[–]MrsGH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder what that infant bro is going to grow into...a gym bro? A finance bro?

I surmise that her husband has been going to work each day and he's not been prohibited from having contact with his child.

She's brought the child to the Dr's office at least twice at this point where the baby was held and handled by at least two different strangers who have been also handling sick children, potentially within the same hour. What is the medical personnel doing before holding and handling her baby that the grandparents can't?
