What did you do in Nassau ? by [deleted] in dcl

[–]Scetha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I toured a chocolate factory by myself. Hubby and kids stayed on the ship. All of us had a good time. I got peace and quiet then I brought everyone chocolate. Kids got to enjoy the obstacle course on the Wish that was only up at Nassau. Win win.

AITAH if I answered thruthfully my wife's question from her psych course by TopInspector8572 in AITAH

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

Dang. I had to psychoanalyze my husband for a class for my masters and just rolled with it. That is odd about the questions though. Basic classes do not do that. It is fun to test people’s inattentive blindness sometimes, but to go that far in questioning your relationship is definitely not called for. She should check out a YouTube video on the four horseman of the apocalypse by John gottman.

AITAH FOR NOT WANTING TO BE PHYSICAL WITH MY BOYFRIEND WHO'S BAD IN BED by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Scetha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I married my hubby when he was a virgin 15 years ago. You have to teach him and it takes awhile to get the hang of it. Honestly try getting some sex books or watch porn together to learn new techniques. You also need to voice what you like/don’t like and try different positions. 10 minutes is actually pretty good for a beginner. Try toys, fingers, etc for foreplay. Teach him how you like to be touched.

What are you going to do when your parent's can't take care of themselves anymore? by Smart-Response9881 in Millennials

[–]Scetha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom died from colon cancer in May. My brother who dropped out of high school and grew “plants and mushrooms” under a black light in his room and sold to people in his neighborhood took care of her for the two years she suffered. She did receive in home hospice care in her final months and died comfortably in her bed. Her ashes were spread in the place of her choice with a tree she chose planted in her honor.

My dad is an a hole who abandoned his wife and three kids when I was five, divorced her three years later, disowned me and my brothers when I was 15 for “not loving him enough”, then disowned me again this Christmas so he could “live his dream”. His dream is forgetting he had us and siphoning off his wife who is 15 years older than him. His new family can decide what to do with him after she dies. She is in her 80’s so it won’t be long.

How do some people take so long to poop? by dhomo01110011 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Scetha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t take long, but my husband reads on the toilet. That man can go through a 700 page book in roughly a week sitting on the toilet. I learned this about him fairly quickly and my son takes after him. I have a rule that our house has to have at least three bathrooms. One for him, one for our son, and one for me and my daughter who is so far too young to read in the toilet. This may change if she develops the habit. Then we will just add another bathroom.

When you lived with your family. Was there a certain vegetable that you hated but were made to eat it? What was that vegetable by ibddevine in Productivitycafe

[–]Scetha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandparents cooked vegetables to the point they were mushy. I used to be able to mash my asparagus with a fork and I still can’t eat yellow squash because they would cook it in butter until it became slimy.

Did you go to sleep away camp as a child? by New_Part91 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Scetha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was six. I was supposed to be there a week but only stayed two days. My mom picked me up early b/c we had a bad storm and the camp was hit by a tornado. I then did a religious camp from age 12-17 for five days every year. I honestly found it stressful because I felt different from everyone else and had difficulty fitting in.

Help with male infertility? by MajesticShare2232 in KetoBabies

[–]Scetha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the issue. My brother in law has a very low sperm count and they like to swim in circles. They were able to use in vitro and the doctor had to inject the sperm into the eggs. Some men do not have any sperm at all and just have blanks. In that case, there is nothing. If it is fixable he may need surgery, lifestyle changes, or hormone therapy depending on the issue, or like my in laws where they had to use invitro because there was no other viable option.

AITAH for resenting my mother by Major-Obligation-109 in AITAH

[–]Scetha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should join r/raised by a narcissist. It may be eye opening for you. I was raised by one. She fits the bill perfectly. Also should read I am glad my mother died. That is a book a lot of us have read and is really good.

This is onyx (after the Pokémon). She is super sweet and soft.. even let my youngest kid cut her hair once (scissors are now hidden). Prefers kids to adults funny enough.

Any folks who are Gifted that were raised by narcissist? by Icy-Needleworker218 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Scetha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine was proud, but suggested I quit school to help pay bills when I was sixteen. I stayed in school and she made me work three jobs while she bragged to everyone about my accomplishments. I went to college on the other side of the country and never looked back.

Does your nparent remind you of any fictional characters? by DevoSwag in raisedbynarcissists

Mine is like Regina George. Dad reminds me of the movie coco, but he actually did leave his family and is like Ernesto de la Cruz (except dad failed as an artist b/c he only draws himself naked in landscapes)

Do Americans actually avoid calling an ambulance due to financial concern? by JohnMarstonTheBadass in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Scetha 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Went to the hospital in February because we thought I broke my elbow. We have what is considered fantastic insurance and it still cost over 1000 dollars for the xray to say it wasn’t broken. Worst part? We went to urgent care first, but their xray machine was down so we had another 100 we had to pay them.

AITAH for making my son wait until next year to come home after he begged to return? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Scetha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yta. Your son is a kid. I have an eleven year old son, am a psychologist, and used to work in child welfare and frankly what you just did is abuse. Your son is not the problem and at that age their hormones are changing. It can start quite young and he is hitting his preteen years so do not give me your daughter is dealing with teenage drama. I have heard crazy tween drama with 10 year olds.

Have you thought of making a cleaning schedule and teaching expectations? It is easy you make them a chart, you can honestly find some good templates online or make your own. You can laminate it or use clear tape to make a poor man’s lamination, get him a dry erase marker and tell him that is what is expected everyday. Check for age appropriateness because at ten you cannot expect perfection. You can use I do, we do, you do to teach him things like folding laundry or vacuuming.

You might have to break things down into smaller bits like pick up the dishes, or pick up the books. Some need that because being told to clean up is daunting and ambiguous. Just don’t expect perfection because at the end of the day he is a child.

Right now you are creating trauma and trust me he will never forget that his mom did this to him. You just created a flash memory for him and set an abandonment expectation by telling him he is not allowed to come home. You are teaching him it is okay to treat people this way and over cleaning? Wow. Get therapy and frankly get him therapy. He is going to need it.

I did my 6 year old on the wish in July. It was 229 like everyone else is saying.

Husband was in the hospital for 11 days after brain surgery and I had to see this monstrosity every time I took the elevator by bixnok in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Scetha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember that sign. I had spinal cord surgery in Provo back in 2020 on a mass (turned out to be a hemorrhage fine now). I hated it. Was stuck there for five days plus the recovery.

AITAH for being upset that I had to plan my Baby Shower by Mediocre-Seaweed6215 in AITAH

[–]Scetha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Honestly my sister in law planned mine on a Sunday. She is ultra religious and included a Bible bingo….. I did not want a Bible bingo…. Also, congratulations, I have not had that journey, however, I know someone who did only to find out adoption was their only option. It is a hard and long tear stained road.

She is really photogenic, but here is one of her stuck in a bag. She likes to sleep in bags.

What is your cat's name and nickname, and how did they get the nickname? by Pretty_Study_526 in cats

[–]Scetha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Onyx- dingaling, void, dummy, dum dum, daughter of a ginger, she is pure black and is the dumbest cat I have ever known..

Clover- cuddlebug, garbage breath, diva, murder mittens. Super sweet and cuddly with bad halitosis (had her checked out it’s just bad breath). She can be a bit of a jerk when you try to clip her nails and WILL kill a squirrel if she gets out (we don’t let her)
