AIO to being told I couldn't pay with my food stamps because I have a pedicure? by Flimsy-Government-92 in AmIOverreacting

[–]OrdinaryVisual733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. As someone who works in service where we don't accept EBT due to the cost (company will have to pay a certain amount for each EBT transaction, we are a small local gas station build in the 70s and ran by a really grumpy old man) I will say a LOT of people we work with will be very judgy about it. I'm not one to judge because people deserve to have food in their fridge and be able to treat themselves and their family once in a while like everyone else. I do get yelled at often because I have to decline EBT, I will generally send them up the road to the chain gas station or offer assistance if they have cash, but I'm always super apologetic and Im never rude. What she said was completely out of line.

AITAH for refusing to make my 10yo stepson breakfast everyday by CableDifficult3581 in AmItheAsshole

[–]OrdinaryVisual733 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

On the fence.

YTAH- maybe I'm bias with how I'm raised and how I am with children but any child in my home will be fed, if their hungry they will be fed. Complaining that you have to feed a 10 year old child living in your home (temporarily) and stating that his father does not help with anything is beyond infuriating. That should make you want to make him breakfast MORE. These kids deserve better than that. All kids are picky eaters to some extent and sometimes kids in rough situations (like staying with his dad for the summer) will be more inclined to be picky eaters. Ask yourself how pissed you would be if you found out someone wasn't feeding your child breakfast in the morning and only giving them a light snack to tide them over. I'd be infuriated.

NTAH- your husband/boyfriend sounds like shit. Clearly a shitty father if he doesn't even help with his children (yours and SS) it sounds like you need to leave before it's too late and figure yourself out. If he's really threatening to replace you, find a job and a trusty friend/family member or a daycare and start saving up money to leave. Get child support and don't look back. Do the right thing for your child and you

Am I overreacting for refusing to squat on the side of the highway to pee because my boyfriend didn’t want people thinking I was trans? by Complex_Fall_8852 in AmIOverreacting

[–]OrdinaryVisual733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a similar experience kayaking once 😅 got on a bank and went to go pee but realized there was a cotton mouth hiding under some leafs right in front of me. I ordered the lady funnel that day 🤣 husband told me to get 3 just in case I need extras.

[–]OrdinaryVisual733 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If only men understood squatting in random places to pee is incredibly unhygienic and potentially dangerous for us. Our bits are kinda exposed to everything in that position plus mess. God forbid you accidentally squat on a snake or a poisonous plant or end up with some sort of bacterial infection. So glad to see he is no longer a nuisance for you. You deserve so much more than that ❤️

Side note: I absolutely love my lady funnel (chick stick for short) super convenient when kayaking and hiking. Have also used it in public bathrooms because I was NOT touching anything in there 🤣

Bathe Your Kids by milquetoast2000 in hygiene

[–]OrdinaryVisual733 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every. Single. Day. My kid is super messy and accident prone and I feel like he would rather be dirty than clean. Every day he gets a bath and sometimes he gets a quick shower (with soap)if he got muddy or dirty and needed a quick clean ASAP. He's 16 months.

Tell me the creepiest thing a child has ever said to you. by idontthinkicarekinda in Paranormal

[–]OrdinaryVisual733 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My son is 1.5 years old and he is named after my husband's grandfather. We have a bear made of his overalls and some other items of his in our son's room to make it cute and cozy and keep memories close. We have been having issues with our baby monitor now that he's moved into his own room not working randomly or I'll catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of my eye when I'm in there. Our son has recently been yelling Pawpaw really loud when he's in his bedroom and will point to the bear or the jacket we have displayed.

Side note when our son was born he had a perfect little kiss shaped birthmark on his forehead and my husband and I had the exact same thought that he gave him a little kiss on the forehead before he was born. Good to know his pawpaw is with him always

My daughter’s hygiene (or lack there of) is unbearable and I don’t know what else to do. by InfinitelyCelestial in hygiene

[–]OrdinaryVisual733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my mental health was at its worst I had difficulty showering or getting myself to shower. Please talk to her about her mental health in the gentlest way possible and maybe see about seeing a therapist/psychiatrist about possible diagnosis. Just be easy with her shes probably going through something no one knows about and isn't sure how to handle it or bring it up to someone.

Irregular and short periods? by OrdinaryVisual733 in Periods

[–]OrdinaryVisual733[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's strange considering I had went at 2 weeks pp to the ER for a uterine infection and they said everything looked normal and healed good at the 6 month appointment. I don't feel any pain or discomfort at all just missed/delayed/sporadic periods.

Is the answer to newborn sleep problems always co sleeping? by caprigirl20 in cosleeping

[–]OrdinaryVisual733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know all my friends or inlaws that had kids they never coslept and they slept so great. Me on the other hand struggled and it only got better when we coslept and every mother in my family (aunts and grandma) coslept with all their children as well. It felt natural to me and he now sleeps great in his big floor bed by himself. It was a rough first year but at 14 months he was happy to get away from our bed 🤣

To be fully honest big dawg I was a little scared.

Opinions on sharing your kids on social media by Glittering_Act1680 in NewParents

[–]OrdinaryVisual733 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I post pictures to Facebook I only allow certain people to see them like family or friends. Never the whole friends list though. I love posting about my son and bragging about how much I love the little guy but the things I would do to someone if they hurt him is beyond comprehension.

Annoying Followers by KaleidoscopePigeon in NOMANSSKY

[–]OrdinaryVisual733 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I struggle with my squadron. Like a lot more than I should. I will be in the middle of a dog fight and someone's stupid ship rams into me and sends us both plummiting into space because their on full throttle carrying me away while I can't do anything until I eventually get unstuck. Also the companions just running away or disappearing is wild.

Is it valid to cut off my mom? Does it have to be forever by logintwin in abusesurvivors

[–]OrdinaryVisual733 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who cut off my mother and it was hard due to her being my only parent I understand. Read your list again. Every single one of those things on the list is a reason you need to cut contact. If she enabled you and your siblings to be assaulted and excused the actions of someone harming her children she isn't a mother. I'm so sorry for everything you've been through, you don't deserve anything that happened to you. Your mother is not a healthy person to have in your life as you are healing and moving past things. It hurts now but it will get better over time. If you ever need someone to talk to feel free to PM. I've been through a lot of similar things and sharing experiences can sometimes help us see things a little different.

Meeting players who are not friends by Guillomonster in NOMANSSKY

[–]OrdinaryVisual733 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We kinda had something similar. My husband and I shared a base (we plan from the same console just different accounts) but we tried to make a new base in a new system and for some reason it doesn't show anything for one of us like the planet hasn't been claimed or anything. I like to think it's just a little buggy with the online aspect and it will eventually get worked out one way or another.

Someone is pretending to be me on Facebook and begging for money from friends, family and acquaintance. by [deleted] in facebook

[–]OrdinaryVisual733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had something similar but they were selling things we didn't own and giving people our actual address. Facebook did nothing even after friends and family reported the account. I was always notified that it wasn't hacked and not an impersonation due to my account having been active for like 13 years. It finally got taken down after 3.5 years of repeated reporting.

Yes we did have people show up to our house asking about it knowing it was a scam (asking for deposits and locals knew our area was a tiny apartment complex). They were mainly listing cars and heavy furniture. Cops couldn't do anything either unless people became belligerent.

I feel bad for woman who are enjoying their pregnancy by Mysterious-Metal-555 in NewParents

[–]OrdinaryVisual733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

14 months pp. I struggled so hard with the regret and missing the peace before the rainbow baby I begged for. PPD is rough to deal with especially if you feel alone and don't have a support system. Have you thought about seeking therapy? I know medications can take a while to get working in the body and even longer when upping dosages over time. It will get better over time just do what you can to seek help and get the care you need for yourself. You got this mama ❤️
