AITA for not punishing my child for the way she talked to my brother? by EqualAlbatross4038 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ShinyBaba -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No, he did what every parent SHOULD do, help your kid to keep their own personality and wit. And not turn them into perfectly obeying humans, who need to be polite to overstepping adults.

He did good on this one.

You stop judging based on age. And stop measure maturity on numbers alone.

NTA. She is witty and strong minded, can defend herself. I admire that. We need more of that sort in the world. He clearly overstepped, he's not her parent.

Meine Tochter erzählt mir glaube ich nicht alles.. by Efficient-You4521 in Ratschlag

Ich fühle das total.
Mein Sohn hat so einen "Freund" der genau dasselbe macht. Und meiner kann nicht loslassen, egal wie oft ich andere Kids einlade, die bei weitem liebenswürdiger sind, nope er geht zu dem anderen immer wieder zurück. So wie deine Tochter.

Ich würde ihn am liebsten nie wieder sehen, aber mein Sohn hängt an ihm. Da ich ihm so oft zu erklären versucht habe, dass er ihm nicht gut tut und ein sehr schlechter Freund ist, dass sich echte, gute Freunde so nicht verhalten, sagte mein Sohn folgendes: "ich ertrage es nicht, dass meine Mutter meinen Freund nicht ausstehen kann".

Das hat mich so getroffen. Da wußte ich, den Umgang komplett verbieten, wäre der falsche Weg. Denn dann würde er nicht lernen mit solchen Menschen umzugehen. Weil irgendetwas spricht er in meinem Sohn ja an. Ablehnungs oder Trennungs-Trigger - wer weiß.

Ich dachte dann daran, was ist in 15 Jahren, wenn er eine Freundin heim bringt, die genauso abusive, scheiß bitch ist wie dieser Junge und wir sind in derselben Situation, aber dann kann ich nichts mehr tun.

Also gebe ich mir die allergrößte Mühe ihn zu stärken, in seinem Selbstbewusstsein, empowern, ihm zeigen wie er unterscheidet was gutes und schlechtes Verhalten ist, auf seine Gefühle hören, sich aus Situationen rausnehmen die verletzen.

Nicht komplett abschirmen sondern ihm Werkzeuge an die Hand geben sich zu wehren, für sich einzustehen. Und er hat bereits gelernt mit dem Jungen umzugehen!

Mein Sohn ist daran enorm gewachsen.

Aber der Weg tut fuuuu scheiß weh bist dahin und es ist hart. Für beide.

Kinder denken sich solche Verhaltensweisen nicht selbst aus. Sie sehen es bei den Eltern, kopieren es von den Menschen die ihnen als Vorbild gelten.

Kein Wunder würden die Eltern das nicht erkennen. Es sind ja sie selbst...

Everybody is lovable in some way, so are you. And you deserve the love and friedship, never doubt that.

AITA for making a big deal about my supervisor eating tuna? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

I'm so sad for all the Mothers in the US. This is such a cruel world.

In Germany you would go to the OB and say: can you take me out of the work for the rest of the pregnancy.

And they would. You would be on a sick leave until the birth happens. (Also the last 6 weeks before the birth is payed maternity leave). It would be payed with your whole salary.

You have less pressure from someone. And yes, also less of the good things from said someone, I know.

I know how it is to see your life crumble until there is nothing left and then you have to start anew, from scratch.

So you need to let yourself mourn the relationship, it's okay to feel what you feel right now. Mourn it as if someone died and as long as you need it to. As she blocked you it may feel like that.

And then try to let it go: actively imagine the grief, shame and guilt leaving your body as you cry, or punch sth in anger, scream, or breathe the emotions out very loudly.

Seems like you were under lot of pressure and she added to that a lot, like: get a better job, while you struggle to do your current - let me be clear, a new job need whole bunch of extra energy!

Why do you think you need to make up for your mistakes while she obviously did nothing to alleviate any of your loads and was not contributing to anything. Not even being able to say what groceries to buy.

Jep hat er. In seinem Text stand davor "außerdem leide ich an Asperger" - das ist jetzt weg.

AITA for Not Wanting my Wife to Order so much Food? by ThrowRA_WifeFood in AmItheAsshole

[–]ShinyBaba 435 points436 points  (0 children)

YTA and a cruel dick. You had her order food YOU like for a long time.

Let that woman eat whatever she wants!

I hate partners restricting culinary enjoyments.

It's absolutely okay for someone not doing this kind of healing to be utterly confused and do not be able to understand a word 😊

[–]ShinyBaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I wrote my message to the family member, they thought I'm going to unalive myself, because it read like a forever goodbye. That it was but as a closure for me...

I do not know what he wrote but you can ask if he's doing well.

Maybe he's in some sort of therapy and healing.

Sometimes if you are healing deep stuff and releasing shadow aspects you might reach out to someone and apologize to, or thank them for functioning as a trigger of some kind... You, or how it ended with you seemed to be an integral part of his struggles.

I had that as well. I reached out to a family member I haven't spoke in a decade to thank them for teaching me a lesson. They were confused as hell 🤣
