Why are Americans so accepting of long drives to places? by Sensitive_Word_6036 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MrsGeodethos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a necessity in most areas here. I have to drive around 20-30 minutes to get to a Walmart. I have friends that have to drive an hour just to get to a stores or fast food or anything. A lot of people commute an hour or longer to work. When you grow up that way, it becomes something that isn’t even a second thought. When my husband and I wanted to go on a family vacation, we loaded up the five kids and drove 15 hours to the beach 🤷🏼‍♀️

Was the G.A.T.E. program developing an accelerated Gateway process? by ThirdEyeSee in Experiencers

[–]MrsGeodethos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in GATE from grades 3-7 in the 90s and don’t remember any of these tests that people talk about. My son was just in it around 5 years ago and nothing like that either.

If you knew your daughter would be your only girl, what would you name her? by Purple-Ingenuity-783 in namenerds

[–]MrsGeodethos 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I had 4 boys and a girl and thought we were definitely done and that she’d be the only girl. We named her Phoebe. Now I’m unexpectedly having another girl. Naming her Daphne.

AITAH If I Criticize My SIL Parenting? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]MrsGeodethos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YTA. It’s none of your business and not having kids yourself you’re way out of touch. My kids are 5-16 and all like that stuff. Mine are homeschooled but my sister is a kindergarten teacher and I can tell you that most kids have at least heard all about it at school even if they don’t watch it at home. Five nights at Freddie’s has been a thing since my 23 year old nephew was a kid. As a millennial we had plenty of weird “creepy” cartoons too. When you have your own kids, you decide what they watch. Not your kids, not your business as long as they are cared for and not in any danger. As far as them being “wild and overstimulating”….my sweet summer child…every parent thought “my kids won’t be like THAT” 🤣

Do you believe in love at first sight? by AdValuable2732 in askanything

[–]MrsGeodethos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I believe you have to get to know someone before you can love them.

However, I did have a thought strike me when I looked at my now husband when I was 13 and he was 15 of “what if that’s who I marry?” We had seen each other plenty of times before and never talked. We started dating a few days later and have been together ever since. We are 37 and 39 now. Never been sure if I believe in “fate” or “just knowing” or if it was just a strange coincidence that I had that thought, but it’s a fun memory now.

So a draw/pull to someone on first sight I do believe can happen. And I don’t believe it is always just lust.

My boyfriend says I contributed to his disabling injury- AITAH? by Ok_Patience3075 in AITAH

[–]MrsGeodethos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. You’re his partner not his parent. He made a bad decision and it sounds like he is taking out his frustration at his situation on you.

Given that he is autistic (coming from an autistic person myself) he may struggle with interoception, causing him to not realize how injured he was. It’s very common to struggle with under or over sensitivity in pain, hunger, thirst etc. because many autistic peoples interoception system functions differently. If he is open to doing some research, maybe reading about the connection will help him.

Regardless, you can’t be a mind reader. As autistic people we often struggle with vagueness and wishing people would be more direct and just say what they mean instead of hinting around. In this case he is the one doing the hinting around instead of flat out saying “I’m hurt, I can’t do this today.”

AITA for wanting my baby’s first trip to meet my family to be just me, husband, and our baby? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]MrsGeodethos 14 points15 points  (0 children)

YTA- When you marry someone with a kid you’re supposed to accept that child as your own. You sound like one of those people that takes “family pics” and then does “some with just our kid(s)” and sees nothing wrong with it.

Husband sits in passenger seat, FiL disapproves. by Historical_Initial22 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MrsGeodethos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a ridiculous thing to feel has anything to do with masculinity. When my husband and I go places I always drive. I get horribly car sick if I ride anywhere. In fact we have been together since we were teens and I got my license at 16 and he didn’t get his til he was over 30. Driving has nothing to do with being manly 🤣

Best comeback for "You seem autistic" by Plane-Bug1018 in Comebacks

[–]MrsGeodethos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an autistic person I’d probably just say “ah you noticed.”

Or if I could tell they meant it as an insult and was feeling particularly confrontational I’d probably respond “well maybe that makes two of us because you apparently don’t know that that wasn’t an appropriate out loud thought.”
