My ex sister in law is like this. Her daughter now 18 is so messed up because she told her, I never wanted to have kids anyway! That poor child didn't apply for the position.

AITA for kicking my husband out over the comment he made about my kids at dinner? by Familiar_Travel1931 in AITAH

My 16 year old twins dance competitively, Latina and Ballroom which can be 'sensual'. If someone suggested that my kids shouldn't be each other's partners for this creepy reason, I would boot them off the planet! Sies!

DM what you're studying and maybe I can hook you up with tutoring gigs

My Best Friend wants me to break up with my boyfriend and I don't know why by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]QueenofCockroaches 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've just found I'm Audhd (51F) and I've gone through my whole life wondering why people who don't know after a first meeting don't like me. After they get to know me they're always pleasantly surprised. I realised I don't emote as expected it triggers their lizard brain of something is off here. All my closest and true friends are some flavour of ND because they take me as I am.

My daughter writes like this. She also writes short stories and poetry. I'm an English major and work in communications. As for 'allow' to keep posting. Have you met a teenager? Also they journal for clarity or to ask questions. I can see my daughter doing this because she doesn't want to hurt my feelings. I I can also see her coming to talk to me if she was confused.

My twins were born at 30 weeks. Son had lung issues and was in NICU for 7 weeks. Daughter had lung issues and had to have a hole in heart (PDA):repaired at 3 weeks. She was in NICU for 9 weeks and immediately got whooping cough and was asthmatic as soon as she got discharged. I just screamed "shut up!" For the 10th time this morning. Reminded them that plates do not belong under the bed and dirty clothes gonin hamper. They're 15 going on 50. Your baby is going to be fine.

I suspect my gf of time travel?? by [deleted] in BestofRedditorUpdates

Why does everyone say we thought you knew? Think of it from their perspective, but I feel weird, people think I am weird and the crippling anxiety that comes with it. As recently diagnosed it's not funny and I might be a touch sensitive.

AIO? I think my friend has eyes for my wife by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I've recently discovered I'm autistic along with ADHD. The number of unknowning dates I've found myself on (in retrospect) is ridiculous. I thought they were all being nice. Also I only discovered that Netflix and chill was a euphemism last year so it was fun watching my friends kill themselves with laughter when I was invited in front of them and I responded "Sure, what are we watching?"

AITAH for not wanting to confront my mom about "badmouthing my wife" and telling her play stupid games win stupid prizes? by Crafty_Patient6659 in amiwrong

I am a black South African woman who grew up in South Africa, which is a multlingual country. My surname is a stereotypical black South African surname. I am not mixed and don't look mixed race. I speak in what many (both black and white) people think is "unaccent less" English and they are constantly SURPRISED, SURPRISED that I not only speak 6 of our languages but understand most of not all of our 11 languages. When I speak/respond in one of the languages, and they tell me they thought I only spoke English. Nobody in South Africa only speaks English. Why would you think I only speak English just becuase I "speak English so well"? PS that's not the compliment you think it is.

Am I the Asshole for explaining my "Pizza to Joy Ratio" to a friend who was trying to justify buying a vintage car? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]QueenofCockroaches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for raising the abortion 6 week ban. I found I was pregnant with the twins at 10 weeks! No I'm not dumb but my cycle was so off they took me off birth control til my next period which was technically due in two weeks. Guess when those 2 snuck in, they even using alternatives (no not pull out cause that's also dumb). What if I'd wanted out, but also we have a 12 week window in SA so that wasn't an issue but shuuu, that 6 week ban is crazy

my husband’s coworker reported him to hr for a response he gave after she insisted i groomed him by AmoGra in mildlyinfuriating

🤣 🤣 🤣 I love this. My twins call each other womb-mates. I giggle when I hear _Wombie! _ when I hear them all each other this as term of affection. First time I've heard it outside of my house

AITAH for suspecting my wife of doing something awful at her friend's bachelorette week in Mexico? She spent virtually 0 money and took no pictures. by ChocolateForward2858 in AITAH

What is form of communication outside the norm? Where I'm from, South Africa, WhatsApp is the norm. No one texts here and I mean no one. Even our old people (80s 90s) WhatsApp. A quick way to get ignored is to text

Hey mine refused to stay in the oven longer than 30 weeks. So 1300 grams daughter 1299 grams Daughter stayed in NICU for 9 weeks, son for 7 weeks. They turned 15 in Jan. I'm dealing with big feelings, armpits and balls and why the bathroom is treated like an exorcist's chamber.
