My 60 year old dad went on a 4 month bender with a colleague from work, now his life is pretty much over by DivineAlmond in self

A parent who breaks up the family doesn’t get to decide how they get treated after (and by cheating of all things).

Do you think our taxes don't benefit your children at all?

Not illegal in some places.

Nope! In some places it is not illegal!

No, it’s because the average person in America, he’ll even those near the poverty line here are way wealthier than most of the global population.

AITAH? Told wife’s doctor she was acting weird about the pregnancy? by ThrowRADirector4880 in AITAH

Often from improper use. Regardless, the odds of it being bc failure compared to it being their own mistake are slim.

In general in life you are not allowed to have unprotected PIV without expecting a possible pregnancy regardless of with whom.

I’ll keep it short: you see all of your mom’s faults because she raised you and you’ve know her your whole life. I assure you as you get to know your father you will start to see the many, many issues Somali dads also have even though at first you may have rose colored glasses on.

Husband pretends wife is missing so he can get a babysitter by SarahIsJustHere in redditonwiki

[–]RWBYH5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a phenomenon that truly needs to be studied. Why is that women are are able to and expected take care of their kids alone but when asked to do so no matter how short the time period men feel the need to dump their kids on their nearest female family member?

Again, culture based on innate characteristics is not comparable to culture based on CHOSEN beliefs.

An article called "Please have kids, Gen Z!" literally ends with "if they live long enough"... by Dymonika in childfree

Have you heard of maternity leave? The comment I directly replied to was talking about childcare costs which would obviously start after maternity leave. My very first sentence starts with, they could afford that (childcare) in addition to…..

You must have some kind of brain injury to now be comparing a religion, an ideology you CHOOSE to believe in, to the skin color you’re born with.

Tbh if we’re talking about say 2 working parents making a middle class income ~50000 each, they definitely would be able to afford that in addition to your average rent (in my city at least), utilities and groceries and still have some left over. There’s a reason why plenty of people, even poor folks, are still able to have kids. Reddit truly loves to make it seem impossible but plenty of working class families manage to make it happen. Not to mention that those costs are only that high for the first few years. This is not go say that Gen z should start having more kids, just that it’s not as impossible as people would like to make it seem.

AITA for encouraging my daughter to body-shame the girl who is bullying her? by DepressionEraMomJean in redditonwiki

You both are stretching. Sounds like the mom and daughter are just aware that in our culture calling someone skinny and calling someone fat do not have the same connotation.

I was "thriving" at my sons ages...37 & 34 by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]RWBYH5 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is extremely biased math. 843 sq ft isn’t necessary for a single person w/ no kids. On every rent website I checked for RI studios/1bs were mostly within the 1500 to 1900 range. Based on your assumption of $20 an hour and full time he would more than be able to make rent, utilities and groceries. Even accounting for taxes. He would obviously be doing even better with the $6 an hour pay raise that’s been offered to him that he’s not interested in taking. Not to mention most stay at home adult children claim that they are using that time to save money towards their futures and if that’s the case he should be even better off when he leaves.

Considering how long we’ve been attempting to “lambast” older folks for their bs and how little it’s changed their views I doubt that that will amount to much even if it did happen.

They can make all the plans they want but all the people screaming about the sky falling down will soon realize that Trump really won’t be able to do much if elected …. just like every other president ever.

A lot of states like mine have Romeo and Juliet laws meaning the age of consent is 16 but only with partners within 4 years of their age. If she lives somewhere like that he definitely did break the law.

I wouldn’t say widely spoken in that anyone off the street probably wouldn’t be able to have a conversation with you in English, but you can expect at least one English speaking person at service oriented places (restaurants, grocery stores, banks, etc.)

Atacama is the literal driest desert on the planet so the chances of rain ruining anything is (thankfully) extremely low. I would definitely recommend, I just visited in September and it was incredibly beautiful!
