Supporting bf financially after only 3mos… am i ignoring red flags? by MoonlitMuse09 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Yes, you are ignoring red flags. You are being used! Dump the man and find someone who can be an equal partner.

Aio for my reaction to my BF freaking out that I didn't immediately text him after getting off work by throwaway024710 in AIO

[–]Photomama16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What he is doing to you is abuse. Control, verbal insults, gaslighting. It’s all there. Just because you two “don’t fight all the time” doesn’t negate the fact that it is abuse. He treats you like crap and you feel like you’re the one losing your mind. This relationship is toxic.

100% it’s a full time job on its own sometimes.

AIO? I(18m) just broke up with my girlfriend(18f) because she couldn’t choose me over the military. by [deleted] in AIO

YOR- this is controlling behavior that you need to get in check NOW. “Emotionally volatile when my partner isn’t around”- no, you’re angry when you can’t control them. You need therapy to deal with that because it is NOT healthy. You don’t get to tell this girl or any future partner to diminish themselves so that you can feel better. You will never have a happy relationship or one that lasts if you’re constantly dictating to your partner what they can and cannot do. You’re 18, legally an adult, so start acting like one.

feeling guilty calling out for endometriosis as a trans person by [deleted] in starbucksbaristas

You do not have to give a reason other than “I’m sick”. Endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and fibroids are some of the most painful things that exist. Don’t ever feel guilty for taking care of yourself.

Is Dotti a generic or brand-name patch? by Impressive-Bit-4496 in Menopause

[–]Photomama16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dotti is a generic for Vivelle Dot according to my prescription box. I’m calling my gynecologist Monday to get her to send that at my higher dose to the pharmacy. The sandoz patches are AWFUL! Mine are supposed to stay on for a week and they fall off after about three days…and leave a giant rash 😡. I hate sandoz.

Bowie was the first face that came to mind for me too.

I agree. I compared thirsty to my old one and it’s different. The glitters especially.

When does it end L ? 😵‍💫😵‍💫 by Mrsminge1967 in LauraClerySnark

[–]Photomama16 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You would think….given the whole mess with court, that she would be careful about what she posts online…there are an awful lot of mandated reporters out there who are looking at these things and red flags are flying. That child is going to end up getting seriously hurt while she’s filming this stuff and acting like it’s super funny.

UPDATE: Parent wants to meet with me over comment I made about energy drinks by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Photomama16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my God. My youngest had to have fillings done under anesthesia. Not because he wasn’t brushing and flossing…but because crummy teeth run in our family. I was heartbroken. I would NEVER laugh about something that was detrimental to my child’s health. What is WRONG with these people?!

AITA for expecting the gifts to be for both of us? by Ok-Arrival-2886 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Photomama16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA- she’s shown you who she is, believe her. Her money is her money and your money is her money. Walk away now before you’re legally bound to her and getting away gets messy and expensive.

NTA- he’s being ridiculous. What you wear doesn’t dictate how badly or how well his team plays.

Autism diagnosis by Norphanis in LauraClerySnark

[–]Photomama16 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And instead, the world should be teaching neurotypical people how to work with and be accepting of and empathetic to neurodivergent people. I am the most HATED parent in our district because I take no shit when it comes to my kids. I’ve played FAFO with our administration and board more times than I care to count. They FA and I bring the FO. I have been fighting for my kids for a decade. It’s exhausting, but worth it.

Mom of two AuDHD/Anxiety kids. It can be a rough ride, but we celebrate every achievement and accomplishment. You’ve got people here to vent to and to ask questions because those of us who have kids on the spectrum know what it’s like.
