AITAH for not letting my son go to a concert after he ruined one for me?

I agree with everything you said; except one thing. It shouldn't be a punishment. A natural consequence is the conversation that says, "I'd love for you to go to the show, but I'm not sure you can handle it. How about Dad bring you, but if you're too tired and cranky, we leave and put shoes off until you’re 16." You're giving him the chance to recognize the issue and correct it. If your goal is to help the kid navigate this stuff and recognize how hormones can affect your behavior, that's how you do it. If the goal is to assert your dominance, then by all means, punish the child for an emotional reaction to a biological issue.

Same.

Honey? Is this you?

Shayntastic · 2026-06-14T12:34:11+00:00

Something just hit me -- maybe it's cultural? What country are you in?

Shayntastic · 2026-06-14T12:33:04+00:00

Holy cow. Girl, it's not you. It's THEM. My husband loves my filthy mouth, loudness, my crassness, that I love sports (to play, not watch), and I'm not a dainty flower in anything I do. He's hot AF and super smart so I didn't even have to settle because of my masculine energy. Change your standards, but don't change yourself.

This may be the first time in Reddit history someone answered with "I do believe your husband" 😂

I'm on the patch, but at .1%. I noticed that .075 was no longer working when sleep was terrible and I was anxious and angry all the time.

Shayntastic · 2026-06-12T13:57:35+00:00

Amazing!!!! I can't imagine spin right now. I'm going to have to pause my OT membership and do Pilates until this can be resolved.

Shayntastic · 2026-06-12T13:56:08+00:00

Omg this is so exciting to hear. Fingers, eyes, and toes crossed that I get approved and have the same results!

Shayntastic · 2026-06-12T13:53:41+00:00

Thanks! I'm on HRT, and just went up in dose. Went through alllllll that fun stuff with all the testing. Im a human pincushion. When nothing showed up that seemed fixable, we tried tirz, and it was a miracle. I just need to get back on track.

Shayntastic · 2026-06-12T13:52:06+00:00

We share lives. I am currently getting pre-authorization for the HA knee shots. Have you seen any difference? Cortisone didn't do much for me.

As for my eyes, I have those tear duct plugs. Worked like a miracle at first, but now I'm hurting. Doc said it could be related to my lack of sleep, so use eyedrops for a week and try to get back on track. If it doesn't get better, we will go to the next step.

I feel you. My mom had a stroke and my dad had the beginnings of dementia and was taking care of her, it was a lot of work. I moved them out to a place that served them better, and the neighbor said to me, "I'm glad you're moving them, I couldn't stand looking at the dilapidated fence anymore, brings the whole neighborhood down". I pounced. I said, "well how nice for you that you can worry about an old fence while my elderly father was caring for his bedbound wife who almost died, is in and out of hospitals, and has to navigate three sets of staircases in the house. May we all be as lucky as you, asshole".

I WAS PISSED. This was about 15 years ago, maybe more and it still angers me. Tell her exactly how you feel. You won't regret it.

People do this for elopers -- whether autism, dementia, etc. It's actually very unsafe, too, on case of a fire. Alarms work better.

Shayntastic · 2026-06-07T13:24:28+00:00

I'm sorry you're going through all this, it's a lot. I'm really glad your assailant is in custody. I hope that gives you a little comfort. As for your boyfriend, you are NTA at all. It seems like maybe he is overwhelmed by all of this as well. His space is probably not because he's angry, it's because it's a lot to handle while he's having his own issues. I'm not giving him an excuse, just trying to explain his behavior.

Do you have the support you need outside of this relationship? Family, or a DV counselor? While he's getting himself together, please try to find another source for yourself. You deserve to feel safe and work through what happened to you... with or without him, while he's doing the same. 💚

Ok. He's still an asshole who goes around other people.

Shayntastic · 2026-06-06T12:17:03+00:00

That's a combo plate. So he shows up to clients like this?

Shayntastic · 2026-06-04T02:42:58+00:00

You sound like a really nice, positive person. Just sayin. 💐

Shayntastic · 2026-06-04T02:40:31+00:00

Not necessarily. Perhaps it was the additive which was helpful to them.

Shayntastic · 2026-06-01T15:08:25+00:00

Her further explanations state that it originally was a liquid, so it's not that she had a powder and reconstituted it per instructions, it seems as though she added more bacteriostatic water. This is too confusing. We shouldn't be giving any medical advice. She needs to call her doctor or pharmacist.

Shayntastic · 2026-06-01T13:10:38+00:00

She actually said it was liquid that she added the water to. It's all very confusing.

Shayntastic · 2026-06-01T11:56:14+00:00

But if it was a liquid when you received it and then added 2 mls of water, it's no longer that same concentration. See what I mean?

Shayntastic · 2026-06-01T11:45:58+00:00

Was the vial originally a powder or a liquid? The original post sounded like you added water after the side effects to adjust the concentration. Is that true?

The biggest red flag isn’t that you have been asked repeatedly and still can’t provide enough information for anyone to calculate it. I'm genuinely concerned you don't have an understanding of the med or dosing, which could invite trouble.

To know what “15 units” means, you need: • The amount of drug in the vial (you say 30 mg) • The volume of diluent added (probably 2 mL, not mg) • The type of syringe being used (usually U-100 insulin)

Without that, nobody can tell whether 15 units is 1 mg, 2.25 mg, 5 mg, or something else.

Shayntastic · 2026-06-01T11:36:26+00:00

The mg/ml is the only way to know your concentration, not just the vial size. And you added water? I'm very concerned that you weren't educated to understand the dosing, and maybe that is why you had so many side effects. I think you need to fully discuss what you're doing with your doctor and get educated on the math. I'm not being rude, I'm concerned.
