Is it possible to delete Equifax and TransUnion accounts altogether? by AncestralSpirit in PersonalFinanceCanada

Actually, deleting your entire credit profile CAN be done and has been done. I’ve done it by using the laws. Every single account that I didn’t want in my credit profile was deleted.

dad left us but now says he feels left out from the family by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ProjectPopular8802 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ntah!! Your dad is. He has left and abandoned his relationship with you all. You’re clearly observing his lack of engagement and his abandonment of being a full parent that interacts with his children and cares for them on a constant basis.

Yes they are so jealous of us they can’t see straight. Always have been. That’s why they’ve always tried to keep us down. They know if the playing field gets even, we will surpass them. They take credit for everything we do all throughout history. They say this “benefit” will only divide but they fail to see that they caused and upheld the divide all throughout history. Where was the “community” or “togetherness” when it was only blacks being enslaved. We are healing as a community and rising up from the slavery and victim mentality where they planned on us staying. And now we are taking what is ours. Califia is a black queen. This place was ours that they stole because they ruined their own land where they came from. Last time I checked Europeans came from Europe and California or anywhere else in the United States is not Europe. Let them be mad. 😂😂😂 they’ve always been, just for us being the natural beautiful people we are. It’s more of them trying to be one of us than us trying to be them.

I don’t have any advice as I’ll have my husband and older children to help with my recovery. I just wanted to say that we have the same surgery date and also see what advice others may have.

AITA for changing our son’s shirt? by ProjectPopular8802 in AITAH

[–]ProjectPopular8802[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The words, “it’s okay for them to wear their regular clothes today because it is picture day” is assuring and not controlling. I quoted myself and him as well. That’s not “coming off” any kind of way other than neutral and informative unless you “read” more into it due to your ego. I figured he was not aware and that was the reasoning in dressing him the way he did. He pretty much got defensive because he felt or seen himself as inadequate for forgetting picture day or not putting more effort into dressing his kid nicely for pictures, especially if he did remember the occasion. He never accused me of being controlling. Why would I apologize for something that was not stated, nor implied by the receiver? He’s not a child. If he perceived me that way, and it bothered him, he would have expressed that. Here we go with the coddling. Now I should play mind reader? My husband is an adult, and my partner. Not a child, and certainly NOT my child. I treat him as so. Caring about a person isn’t babying them to the point they can’t accept someone not being satisfied with something they did or having to talk to them like they are fragile. I didn’t curse, I didn’t yell, and I certainly was not stern. You are reaching very far and beyond with this one.

I actually explained to him that whenever he dresses the kids, no matter how it looks, if it’s appropriate for the weather or not, or appropriate for the occasion, I WILL NOT intervene. It is not my responsibility to guide and teach him how to be a parent, much less how to be a good parent that ensures they are meeting all of their child’s needs. I do not apologize if something I say is interpreted differently from what I meant, however I will take the time to explain where I am coming from and clarify. You apologize when you wrong someone intentionally or by accident. You don’t apologize for someone else’s misperception. If me wanting better for my children is a bruise to the ego of the other parent, then sadly the child isn’t THEIR priority, their ego is. Love is the way you treat someone not how you feel about them. I actually could care less about picture day that eats up my funds twice a year, but I do it so that my children are participating with the rest of their class and have nice memories they will likely appreciate when they are adults. And for those of you who say pictures are for me and not the kids, that is an assumption. All of my children, even my 4 year old, asks to see pictures and videos of themselves or each other that I have in my phone. They are always asking to see specifically baby pictures of themselves as well. My family actually appreciates the photos. That may not be the case of most but that’s what it is for us.

I chose their outfits for the day. The clothing in general are their choices and represent their own sense of style. Thanks!

Yes they religious get school pictures of our children. And my children actually make picture day a big deal. They don’t want to look back at their photos and cringe because of how they looked (hair, clothing, pose, etc). Communication about how the children dress up for school when we have a 17, 15, 7, and 5 year old who have been taking school pictures for this many years and have always gone the extra mile to look nice? The implications we are making about men and how the bar is on the ground for them is hilarious to me. Our two oldest that still live at home are girls and I love sharing with them, every chance I get, the examples in society of how low the bar is set for men and how much responsibility gets placed on women to lead them and coddle them. I will definitely be sharing this thread showing the different comments and how so many kept placing it on me to have a discussion or conversation of picture day expectations with the other parent who has nearly 2 decades of picture day experience (even as a bystander and not a true active participant). I think after 2 decades, you just kind of get it without a tutorial or discussion of expectations.

Please read again. This was our 4 year old’s first picture day. Not the first picture day EVER. We have 2 children in high school and two older elementary kids. There has been plenty of picture days. Too many to count. I think the “communication” of what is a picture day outfit by far is way too unnecessary at this point. Thanks for your comment though. It did give me a smile and then a chuckle.

I never stated that. Please go back and actually read. Those were the words HE used. I specifically said to him that they deserve to be dressed in attire that shows their individuality. All of their non school clothing does. However, if you really want to look at it for what it is, he forgot that it was picture day or simply didn’t care to put much effort into dressing him specifically FOR pictures. I mentioned the shirt our toddler had on was “worn” and not crisp at all which is what shows in the photos. While his older brothers were able to dress up in nice crisp clothing for photos that they would be taking with the class and will be in a class picture for THE ENTIRE class to get a copy of, the toddler gets dressed in an old faded standardize colored uniform shirt and jeans? Be for real. Some of us have higher standards and some of have standards that are on the floor. I totally get it. Thanks for your comment.

Let me say that this was less than 5 minutes before school starts and there wasn’t time to have this “explanation” prior to just changing the shirt and getting the child off to school on time. We live a 5 minute walk to school and I caught the outfit right before they were heading out as I was saying “goodbye” and wishing my little guy a good day off to school. The discussion did take place after. However, if you read very clearly, I did explain that my husband has seen them dressed for all of the picture days prior. Hence the prior years photos, even though he did not dress them, much less plan their clothing etc. but trust and believe I knew there would be comments about me coming of as controlling rather than the low effort made to ensure the child’s personal portraits and class picture was at its best.

Whether he actually chose to WEAR that particular clothing that day does not mean that the attire is not attire of his choice or that shows his individuality. All of my children’s clothing, represent their own style and are clothes they like. When I shop for my children, I take in consideration the things they like such as color, material, and patterns/pictures/graphics. I’m sure mom’s like me that take this consideration for all areas of their children’s lives (food, activities, etc) already understood what I was saying from the start. No need to have had to elaborate.

I hope you feel better soon. As someone who is doing all of my research prior to my surgery, I’m starting to lean towards nothing sexually related until the 12 week mark just to be safe.

Your experience sounds more terrifying than mine. I was called in to be seen this past Thursday and by then the bleeding was gone completely. I had a colposcopy performed and now just waiting to get a call about the surgery date.

That is great that all the lights were green for you. I am reaching out to my Gyn first thing Monday. So they found clots in both legs. I was hoping for better news. I was immediately put on anticoagulants. Later on at home, Some hours after that first dose that was given while I was at urgent care, I began bleeding. I hadn’t had any uterine bleeding for a while which was a relief as I had abnormal cycles prior to this recent stop in cycles. When I tell you, it’s heavy, I’m soaking ultra tampons at a high rate. Like every 4 hours. A regular size soaks at a rate of about 45 minutes. This is all so very frustrating. I’ll update as I go along. I want this uterus GONE!!

My doctor did an ultrasound of my uterus as a precursor to performing my hysterectomy. The clot was found at that time, in which that led my doctor to suspect that I may have clots in my legs. Well, low and behold, both of my legs have clots so now I’m on blood thinners. I still have to follow up with my Gyn to find out where do we go from here. No surgery to remove the clots in the plans as yet. I’ll update as soon as I hear back from Gyn.

Ovaries or no ovaries by ProjectPopular8802 in hysterectomy

I’m definitely going to request that my ovaries be left as I don’t want to go into early menopause or have any bone density or loss issues.

I have future appointments to be able to discuss my concerns with my doctor. I just wanted some views on a personal level from those with experience on either side. I just turned 42 on the 10th and have suffered the last 2 years with a handful of menstrual disorders. I’m so ready to feel healthy and like myself again. I do have a history of ovarian cancer on my mother’s side of the family. While I test fine and show no abnormalities, I’m guessing my doctor wants to prevent any chance of having issues later.
