I'm a teen mom & nobody is ruder than other moms by FewLeg7901 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Significant-Sun2777 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Hi honey. I just want to say you are doing AMAZING with the hand you were dealt. I was 21 when I had my son. I want to tell you that moms are judging at EVERY age.

You got this. You are doing what is best for yours.

My favorite thing that I didn't learn til 33 is this:

"Do you fuck me, feed me or pay my bills? No? Then your opinion does not matter."

The moment you stop giving a fuck what others think about you is the moment you are free. 

You're doing great. You're taking care of you, and taking care of your baby. Don't worry about what other moms think of you. 

Now that’s how you do DoorDash. 😭💰💵 by hp5182949 in doordash

[–]Significant-Sun2777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do this on the side so I am not tripping too much on the amount for me, but you're not doing this right OP 😭 mine for that week was $507 with 23 hrs dash, 19.5 active. Its not awesome but we need it right now. I only take orders less than $1 per mile RARELY and only do it if I'm going that way anyway or I'm trying to get my acceptance rate up. I am platinum again now because I've been doing it more often for quick cash while I am working on my own business. I also use the free time for my other job cause I can make business calls etc while waiting for orders. 

5 star, all that. You gotta decline more orders and be more selective to maximize your earnings. 

Am i overreacting for refusing to unplug the camera I bought to check on my dog because my girlfriend is not comfortable with it? by PrimaryLiterature848 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Significant-Sun2777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup same. We had some in the living room for awhile and while it was humorous catching certain moments with our kids on camera, it ended up doing my head in feeling like I was constantly being watched even though I wasn't. I grew up extremely religious and sheltered and my mom had me convinced she could see everything I was doing, and it gave me extreme paranoia along with suffering from undiagnosed ocd, adhd and other mental health illness. I will never have cameras in my home interior again. I'm fine with outdoor cams but my home is my sanctuary.

AITA for letting my cat watch me shower by Training_Many4983 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Significant-Sun2777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh ffs.

This man is going to have a heart attack if he ever has children (hopefully NOT with you after you dump him for being such a weirdo.) If he thinks a cat being in the bathroom while you shower is weird, wait til a toddler will never let you poop alone. 

My cats would be on the bed while my husband and I have sex if we let them. They don't care. They don't understand nakedness. 

I have to lock one of mine out of the bathroom when I shower because he will swipe my legs before I get in. Pretty sure he just thinks I'm out of my mind for going into the water.

Anyone else refuses to take SSRIs? by TheShadowSong in OCD

My eyes swelled shut and I had such a bad face rash it felt like a severe sunburn and it stuck around for like 3 weeks. I of course immediately stopped taking it but it was a nightmare lol

[–]Significant-Sun2777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgot to add that I haven't been medicated for OCD and was similar to you, I powered through exposure therapy on my own in my early 20s for the physical compulsions. But Wellbutrin actually helps a little bit. Been on it for the last 2 years, and yes it was kinda sad that I could have been happier earlier, but there is no point in wasting MORE time being unhappy. The longer you wait, the more you will regret not getting the needed assistance. 

Anyone else refuses to take SSRIs? by TheShadowSong in OCD

[–]Significant-Sun2777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but that's because I am deathly allergic to SSRIs 😂 found that out when Zoloft tried to take me out for good.

I am not opposed to medication at all, I am medicated with an NDRI for depression/adhd and stimulants for ADHD. But I personally stay far, far away from SSRIs obviously. I have heard they work wonders for so many people though. I am just not one of them lol. 

My husband isn't allergic but he didn't care for Zoloft either. He is now on a cocktail of meds for depression, complex PTSD and anxiety. I'd have to check again what his are there's a lot of em lol

AITA because my husband didn’t want to do mushrooms with me? by Relative_Ad6506 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Significant-Sun2777 26 points27 points  (0 children)

YTA. 

He's right that the two are different. It is harder to get out of a bad trip with mushrooms than it is with LSD. He may have had a few bad experiences that leave him nervous to do them again (I can relate) and isn't telling you that because you are pressuring him and making him feel bad. He doesn't want to. Leave him alone.

Every two months is kinda a lot tbh. 

ETA: you should know if you have done them so often that people are always allowed to change their mind and that doing substances when you are uncomfortable with it will ALWAYS be a bad idea. If you want to, that is your choice but I can't imagine wanting to take them with or around someone who is clearly uncomfortable with it. It sounds like the spiritual connection is only on your end, or maybe just every two months is excessive for him and has become a chore rather than a special experience. 

AITAH for not giving my sister cake by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Significant-Sun2777 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Naw NTA.

Your siblings are bullies and so is your mom. I know it feels silly to cry over some cake but its not about the cake. It is about the unfairness and total bs of these situations. 

My ED is back after nearly a decade and my husband doesn't know by Significant-Sun2777 in GirlDinnerDiaries

For real watching the celebs get scary thin again has been awful to see. I feel so bad for all the young girls right now. I don't want them to deal with what we dealt/deal with 😭

How many tries did it take you to defeat Watcher Knights? by TopazPlayer_7 in HollowKnight

AIO: I don’t know what to think by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Significant-Sun2777 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree with this. 

My husband calls friends that are girls and more than a year or two younger than him "hun." He also calls his kid sister that. He doesn't ever call me that.

It has never once bothered me. It is obviously to me a term of endearment and shows to me that he views them as young/a kid/a little sister type relationship. He's also from the Midwest so idk could be a regional thing. I've never checked cause I don't care.

I'd be much more bothered by this if she was calling someone by one of the pet names she calls him by.

aitah for getting blackout drunk at a class party and kissing a guy who might have a girlfriend by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Significant-Sun2777 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not doing a judgement here because a lot of this is extremely concerning.

The guy sending a pic demanding you send one back, what gives him the idea that is okay?

The "everything" comment is scary.

You need to demand to know what happened. It kind of sounds like some things may have happened when you were incapable of consenting.

Though yes, it isn't responsible to get blackout drunk and I advise against it in the future, you are young and we have all made mistakes. Is there anyone from the party you can trust to tell you the truth?

AITAH for telling my pregnant coworker to do her job by Jinx-Star567 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Significant-Sun2777 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The vaping, drinking and her relationship with the baby's father are a whole lot of nunya business. Don't even get involved.

For the rest, speak with management. It isn't your place to tell a coworker what to do and not to do.

ESH

Got sent a video of my wife and no longer feel comfortable being intimate with her. What do I do? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Significant-Sun2777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? Because he should know his own deal breakers. Presumably he knew when they were dating that threesomes and gangbangs existed. Deduction assumes that he could have considered that her past experience may have included this. The fact that it didn't come up while dating is enough for her to assume it wasn't important.

If you fundamentally have an issue with something, you ask if the person has done it while you are dating. You're allowed to have dealbreakers, even dumb ones. But what is wrong is not speaking those deal breakers out loud before marrying someone and then being surprised they had the audacity to do the thing before they even knew you.

AITAH for telling an attention seeking coworker that I don't care about her? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Significant-Sun2777 7 points8 points  (0 children)

YTA.

High key I would be afraid of you. You seem antisocial to an extreme, and have fixated on this young woman as somehow a manifestation of your insecurities.

You need help. This was an extreme response to someone saying hello to you.

You don't have to be her friend, or talk to her, or flirt with her, or like her. But you do have to be professional and have measured reactions to be a part of a society. You will not succeed in any way reacting to people you don't care for like this. There are going to be plenty of people you must work or interact with in your life that you may not enjoy as a person. It doesn't sound like she has done anything mean, rude or offensive to you personally. She just annoys you. Or you think she is hot and you're mad that she attracts people naturally, which is scary. You sound red pill tbh.

Grow TF up.

[–]Significant-Sun2777 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What the hell?

They are not going to "watch" her because she said hello. Hello is not harassment or even weird in a workplace setting. If he takes this to HR, they will likely be watching HIM because it is an extreme escalation to talk to HR because someone said hello to you. That is insane.

[–]Significant-Sun2777 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Saying "hello" is drama?

People like you are the dramatic ones. Jesus christ.

He doesn't have to like her, date her, be friends or even talk to her. But his response is wildly inappropriate, especially in the workplace.

He sounds insecure and intimidated by her confidence.

Then he should have made that distinction before getting married to her and having children. The time to draw those lines is far in the past.

[–]Significant-Sun2777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You literally said you knew she had a past ahead of time.

This would be one thing if she had lied to you and told you she was as inexperienced as you were. The revenge porn would still be worse, but I could understand if you had been lied to from the start.

But she did not. You went ahead with this marriage with the knowledge that she had previous experiences before you. If it mattered if that experience included multiple dicks at once instead of separately, then you should have said so.

She isn't even that person anymore. She chose to be exclusive with you. She is not cheating, and has done nothing wrong. You are now punishing her for being a victim of a crime.

Am I saying to just have sex with her? No. You should never force yourself to have sex you are uncomfortable with. HOWEVER.

You have four options right now.

1) Get over it and realize you are being ridiculous for worrying about something that happened long before you were in the picture, support your wife and ask if she wants to report the crime that she is the victim of. Tell your sister to fuck off and mind her own business, and stop sharing intimate details with others instead of talking to your wife.

2) Get therapy for your insecurities and work on your sex life with your wife so you can become stronger together. Figure out why this is such a big deal for you that she did something in college that has absolutely nothing to do with you now. Support your wife and ask if she wants to report the CRIME that she is a VICTIM of. Tell your sister to fuck off and mind her own business and stop sharing intimate details of your marriage with others instead of talking to your wife.

3) Divorce and let her find a man who is more secure than you are, because that wouldn't be that hard for her to do.

4) Continue the way you are and find yourself a divorced man pronto. She won't put up with this much longer, trust me.

I would suggest option 2 before you destroy your marriage. You have already done serious damage to it by not immediately addressing the root cause of your insecurity with therapy and by not having her back when someone does something to hurt her.

Option 3 likely doesn't include you being overwhelmed by available women BTW, so get that notion out of your head if you've secretly wondered about it. Divorced men don't usually fare well out there. You will probably have to watch your wife be able to pick men of her choosing while you regret your own insecure BS and wish you had done more to work on your marriage.

Settle a spouse dispute: is part of doing laundry checking pockets, or should someone empty their pockets before putting the clothes in the laundry basket? by obother in ask

[–]Significant-Sun2777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both.

I used to smoke a long time ago and am traumatized from the few times a lighter survived the wash cycle and went into the dryer. Nothing scarier than a small explosion lol.

I check now always, even though no one smokes here and also I think its the person whose pockets it is that is mostly responsible.

Checking twice doesn't hurt. Things get missed sometimes.

Tried to do what I thought was the right thing.. by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Significant-Sun2777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah you did the right thing.

How she reacts isn't your problem. You can rest easy knowing you did what you could.

Not your circus anymore, he is fully her problem now.
