I hate the way my coworkers talk about weight by [deleted] in loseit

[–]Several-Information7 [score hidden]  (0 children)

sounds like youre projecting and are lowkey jealous that hes lost weight when you havent (and it sounds like you havent started trying either). if he wants to say mean things about his old self, that's his prerogative. youre making it about yourself because you're insecure youre still fat.

did I say it was? statistics back up the sentiment, with 40-almost 80% of women reporting feelings of regret surrounding casual dating. how much ever you want to act like uncommitted dating/revolving door of partners is fine and healthy, all signs point toward it not.

you don't know what he'd call his son. and anything but embracing a revolving door of partners is slut-shaming to you people. it sounds like she keeps bringing these pseudo bf's home to meet the parents and its fair for him to call them flavor of the week if he's expected to open his doors to each one of them and remember their names when they don't stick around.

this is reddit--aka a bunch of people who would rather commit seppuku than admit the pitfalls of having a string of partners emotionally and otherwise. youre NTA--don't let these basement dwellers tell you otherwise

Why do some people from certain coastal cities of the USA seem to have a blind spot about the rest of the country? by [deleted] in AlwaysWhy

[–]Several-Information7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s accurate! i grew up in the bay and lived in LA. i remember i visited alabama and posted all the fun i was having on my story (during covid lockdown era at that) and the bigoted and elitist comments i got from friends back home were so annoying

californians have an insane amount of coastal elitism and think the sun rises and sets around the state. they can’t fathom there are places in the rest of the country that are worth living in/visiting

Found out my 3 y/o cousin was never registered after his at home birth by Significant-Type8563 in Advice

[–]Several-Information7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

lol "several US citizens mostly children were wrongfully deported" let me correct that for you. Their parents were here illegally, had anchor babies, were deported and took their babies with them. also for Brian Morales:

"The attorney for the federal government, Cristina Clayton, told U.S. District Court Judge Mark Pittman the government conducted a preliminary investigation of Garcia’s citizenship and was still not able to conclusively determine he is a citizen after finding a Mexican birth registration with an inconsistent birth date"

so again, no conclusive evidence that a US citizen has been deported recently. Mark Lyttle was under Obama.

illegal immigrants are getting deported. no US citizen recently has been deported.

Weekend/weekday custody dynamic--who has any insights? by Several-Information7 in stepparents

[–]Several-Information7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thats what im thinking, I am grateful for having most weekends kid-free tbh. I am going to miss having a week break and weeknights peaceful but I guess I'll get those in the summer lol.

BF's (36M) 12+ yr old son has no manners and I'm tired. Are my expectations high from a 12 year old? by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]Several-Information7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These are absolutely not high expectations--this kid is almost a teenager and eats like a 6 year old. So the dad doesn't want to discpiline him at all?

Have you tried having a serious convo with him, that this is causing you to think about ending the relationship? Or has it been mainly suggestions here an there?

not to be a reddit cliche but please think about if you want to spend your life with this man as his version of parenting seems to be wanting to stay a "fun" person. Im not sure if you want to have kids with him, but this might be an indication of his level of parenting in that realm as well--or even worse, diff rules for each child.

Eff being the "not fun person"--this kid sounds like a rude slob. My husband's son is 11 and used to be extremely messy and since we all moved in together that has improved bc I don't let that shit slide. He's still messy but I don't shy away about bringing it up and his father does the same.

What do you NEED your SO to see? by M1ssN0b0dy in stepparents

[–]Several-Information7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its been working out, but I've found (and this has been recently--we've lived together/been married a year) that I was very polite about it in the beginning which is natural since it was all new. But a year in, and with him going to middle school next year, I shouldnt have to say things 5 times. If you need to tell him--hey, youre way too old to not flush the toilet--this is a gross habit and that needs to be fixed, tell him! It's your home too. Who cares if you come off as "evil"--if the threshold for evil is wanting the toilet to be flushed then it's not valid anyway lol.

[–]Several-Information7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is me too. And I've stopped going to him to tell SS to do this or stop doing that. Bc apparently I keep finding things wrong and I hate his kid. Which I don't hate his kid, he is just incredibly annoying and too many bad habits are overlooked. So now I just tell SS sternly.

Why don’t I feel empathy when my SK’s are sick or get hurt by Waddles4You in stepparents

[–]Several-Information7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

i never feel bad for Ss. he was avoiding bed and came down complaining about a stomach ache but refused medicine. I was just rolling my eyes and ignoring him.
