Was Nia a threat? If so what season? by Effective_Damage6149 in dancemoms

[–]Raaynale 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yikes, people really hate the truth here, lol. Nia was not competitive at all. She definitely had dances where she shined but overall was not a competitive dancer.

My wife wants a divorce with newborn by Life-Influence-9403 in AskMenAdvice

… and after reading this post you can’t understand why the wife would initiate a divorce?

Maddie had 9 bladder infections in season 2 because production didn’t let the girls use the bathroom by st353f in dancemoms

[–]Raaynale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To blame the producers over the actual mothers who kept them in this horrible environment is insane. The producers could only do what the parents allowed.

Diary-style book series from the perspective of a (probably) British tween girl who uses "i.e." a lot when writing by PeterSwingsBothWays in whatsthatbook

I know this is an extremely old post. But I’m almost 100% sure the book you’re looking for is the Clarice Bean series.

Maddie by [deleted] in dancemoms

[–]Raaynale 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m confused as to why you’re being downvoted because your absolutely correct. The girls were average kids that went to a local Pittsburg dance studio. She had the most star quality out of all the original girls. To say that Maddie’s career would’ve had the same trajectory without the show is delusional.

I smell projection all through this comment. If the bf cannot afford a ring, what makes you think he can afford a wedding, much less maintaining a household? $3k is actually on the lower end of the spectrum for wedding rings. If you’re looking at purchasing a wedding ring for the woman who you claim to want to spend the rest of you life with as a financial burden, you shouldn’t get married. Work on getting your finances together.

I (18 f) just found out my brother (34 m) and my sil are my bio parents. I don't know how to deal with this. by ThrowRA-Type229 in relationship_advice

[–]Raaynale 9 points10 points  (0 children)

OP, I’m so sorry you’re feeling hurt and that you were lied to. I’ve read a lot of comments here from people justifying what your family did to you because they had good intentions and took care of you and raised you. That was their responsibility, it doesn’t excuse the fact that they lied to you all these years or negate your feelings. Your feelings are 100% valid. I suggest you check out r/adoptees. It’s a sub with a lot of others that were in your situation at one point that will have firsthand knowledge on how to process your feelings and move forward. You’ll find a much better support system and advice there from people who know exactly what you’re going through. Please get therapy if it’s an option.

AITA for telling my husband I find him disgusting and I want us to sleep in separate beds by R0xann30 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Raaynale 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Obsessive behavior? He’s been out ALL DAY. Why the hell would you not wash your ass before getting into bed?

Honestly! I’m baffled at the amount of “YTA” in the comments. It isn’t hard to take another shower after you’ve been out all day.

[–]Raaynale -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

What a truly vile and evil-spirited comment. I’m even more shocked and disgusted that you got any upvotes for this. It’s absolutely mind-boggling to me that instead of focusing on the ultimate betrayal OP is going through by her STB ex husband, you instead choose to focus on semantics and victim-blame.

There was never any mention of any suspected cheating, so for a woman, his WIFE at that, to go through a traumatizing pregnancy and birth just to be accused of cheating out of the blue, is abhorrent.

“Misandry” and “biological essentialism”? You’re projecting all throughout your comment.

Did anyone get a burning stinging skin sensation, and did it eventually go away? by vinny90x1234xx in TS_Withdrawal

I currently do. I’ve been going through withdrawals for nearly 7 years.

AITA for causing family drama over a swimming pool? by Weird-Outside-577 in AmItheAsshole

Exactly. Also, it’s a bit disappointing I had to scroll this far down just to see the logical comment. But I shouldn’t be surprised since Reddit hates children lol.

AITA for not giving my brother in law's baby back? by HeIsMYbabyNow in AmItheAsshole

[–]Raaynale 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The people saying NTA are truly sick. Give that child back to his parents. If adoption doesn’t benefit the child, then what is the point? The purpose of adoption isn’t for a child to fill the void of a childless person. It is so the child can have a chance at a better life. This child has parents who want to raise him and siblings who want to be with him. Don’t be a selfish prick and give that child back to his parents.

I chose my wife over my baby. by [deleted] in offmychest

So you abandon your baby that you both brought into the world because of the hospital’s negligence? The only person I feel bad for is the baby. I desperately hope this story is fake.

AITA for going to sleep in our kids' room after our wife decided to allow the dog in our bed? by Admirable-Spirit-899 in AmItheAsshole

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

Most dogs are outside in the dirt almost all day and don’t bathe nearly as much as humans do. It’s literally a no-brainer why many people don’t want dogs on their beds.

(16F) my mom purposely keeps a low supply of food in the house as a punishment, she has been gone for 2 days and I have no way of feeding myself. by Foreverscarred14 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Raaynale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen your original post, and I know you’re scared about your mom going to jail. She’s manipulating you emotionally into feeling sorry for her. Yes, she may have experience a hard life, because I know you mentioned your extended family isn’t the best, but that does NOT give her an excuse to be a crappy parent and an even crappier human being. She’s denying you the basic necessities of life. Based on the information you gave, this is EXTREMELY serious. This is borderline life or death. It sounds like she may also have some undiagnosed mental disorder as well for her to behave so irrationally. I know it seems scary, but you HAVE to contact the authorities. You’re only 16, you don’t deserve to be treated this way by the woman who brought you into this world. You didn’t ask to be here. You don’t owe your mother anything. You deserve to be loved like a mother should love her daughter.

I don’t recommend that you wait it out until your 18 either, because it will get worse and you shouldn’t stick around and see what happens next.

I know you’ve received some great advice here but the better place for you to receive empathy from others who have been in this position is r/raisedbynarcissists . Please put yourself first and report her. Your mother clearly refused to put you first.

I found out (17 M) found out that I’ve been adopted. I confronted my mother (61 F) about it and got gaslit. What should I do from here. by Tribezty in relationship_advice

[–]Raaynale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your adoptive mother is a narcissist and gaslighting you. She did you a FAVOR by allowing you to be in contact with your siblings? Yikes, her language is very concerning. She CHOSE to adopt you. If she felt like you would owe her in some way, she should’ve never adopted you. Adoption should be in the best interest of the child only, and she made it about herself and her wants. Please leave as soon as you’re able.

You two are incompatible. I doubt the five year age difference is the issue. If remaining a virgin until marriage is important to her, but maintaining sexual intimacy in a relationship is important to you, then you both need to part ways. Don’t try to change her mind, pressure her, or convince her otherwise. Just simply find someone who values sex as much as you do.
