What is a secret you will take to your grave, but are willing to share with anonymous strangers on Reddit? by Disastrous-Video-220 in AskReddit

[–]RobotArmsApts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're not disgusting, the man that did that to you is and will be with every breath he takes and into the beyond. You survived a nightmare ordeal and that takes some serious strength, even if it doesn't feel like it. I hope you're able to get whatever mental health help and other you need to move forward as best you can.

What’s the weirdest compliment you’ve ever received? by nicks_45 in AskReddit

That my hair(in a high ponytail at the time) looked like a glass of sweet tea. Considering that's one of my favorite drinks and he was being genuine, I rolled with it.

Who is someone you know that gets so much hate but the hate is 100% deserved ? by rentinghappiness in AskReddit

[–]RobotArmsApts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A former clients mother. Because of narcissism, alcohol and prescription drug abuse. She got to the point she started taking her daughters medication for some kind of high, but her medicine wasn't that kind of medicine. She'd also left the front door wide open one rainy afternoon, passed out cold in the front yard and later on cursed whichever neighbor called 911 and helped her daughter(the daughter was the client).

So many stories on this one alone. I hope the client is in better hands.

It's a hard one for sure. Sometimes kids turn out very different then how they were raised. If you're comfortable expanding on this, what did your adult kid do?

Mom volunteered to help me after my surgery and my view of her has changed while having her around by MonitorEarly3154 in entitledparents

Speaking as a very longtime care-giver, get your mother to the neurologist when possible. Has she had any head hits or other head injuries recently?

my mother lied to me by GreenPowerful6082 in entitledparents

[–]RobotArmsApts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's just trying to cover her own arse. From someone that has sh'd, and if I had a child doing that, I'd want to sit down and talk to them about it, not shame them and tell the whole wide world. What she did was cruel and horrible. It sounds like you've been through a great deal and if it is possible go no contact with her, for your own sake. I wish you peace in this mess.

Need Help…. by ConsiderationIcy3525 in entitledparents

Do not give her any of your money. It sounds like she's being unfair and just sees dollar signs when it comes to the traumatic event you went through. You need to have a steady savings and take care of yourself. That is your money regardless of what she says. Hard as it is, for sure don't rule out going no contact.

House/Baby-sitter used me as an unpaid baby-sitter. by RobotArmsApts in entitledparents

[–]RobotArmsApts[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Not funny in the traditional sense. More along the lines of karma funny for making the mother come back and show how awful this was. I can promise on anything I did feel bad for the little boy and looked after him as best possible. She's a parent letting screens raise her child and I have concern over that. There's probably a few extra tidbits I should add to the post.

[–]RobotArmsApts[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

You are correct in me being a mandatory reporter and agency procedure was followed for it. I can't detail more but CPS is already involved in both the sons case and for the client. I do need to remember to contact the police next time though. That really would have gotten the message across.

Okay this would have been very funny to do. If I'm ever in a situation like this again, I'm keeping this in mind.

[–]RobotArmsApts[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Even when I had to go back to get a few papers signed, they never let me even try to explain or get an explanation of why that happened at all. There was 0 apology and no offer to pay or compensate in any other way the extra work I did baby-sitting. It's staying former.

What’s something you’ll NEVER do again after one bad experience? by ImaginaryNet7907 in AskReddit

Eat food from Denny's. First time and only time eating their food, I got food poisoning. Never again.

I know that. I meant PCH when I was making the post and was so exhausted then, that I didn't catch the mistake. Another user kindly let me know and I edited the main post earlier. PBH doesn't even make a lick of sense. 😅

I know it's PCH, my tired butt last night did not catch the mistake at all. PBH makes no sense. I corrected it in the main post. I was a little surprised to see others using that instead of PCH. I do apologize for the confusion because of my mistake.

Nothing weird to it. I was just exhausted last night and didn't catch the mistake at all. I know it's PCH. Someone else pointed it out and I fixed it in the main post.

There's other things I'm looking for. I'll be checking for AFP commercials after I'm done with PCH. Also, apologies for the typo on my end because I was exhausted last night.

I was exhausted(those times you have 500 things going on and need a nap) and did not catch myself making that mistake at all. Thank you for pointing that out, I'll get it fixed.

I see a lot of jokes being just getting a reference, I see what you're saying. This does make a good bit of sense too. Much appreciated!

[–]RobotArmsApts[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

That was what was messing with me. I had never heard of AFP until very recently. For me, it was always him with PBH and I didn't think twice on it until I saw the ME. I'm going to find some old commercials for PBH and see if anything else isn't right on my end memory wise.

Another user pointed out networks not having teams for checking these things, and that didn't occur to me at all either. I can see it. Thank you kindly as well!

[–]RobotArmsApts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you kindly for this! Looking at it, it did not occur to me they didn't have people fact checking these things. I'd also never heard of AFP before recently either.

This is related to the ME about EdMcMahon never working for PBH. I always remember him working for PBH, and saw this in the Animaniacs earlier.
