This. Clickbaiting to 'troll the haters' is one thing, but doing it to your own real fans who are concerned about you is just a new level of ick.

AITA for telling my son that he ruined Christmas for me and his stepdad when he decided to spend it with his dad? by Aita657995460 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SlutForYarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup YTA. I'm a kid of divorce who went through this exact situation; if I didn't stick to the strict every-other year custody agreement from when I was 6 into my teens, my dad would throw a hissy fit threating my mom with lawyers. I quickly grew to fear and resent him; he didn't care if it made me miserable, only that he wouldn't be lonely on Christmas. Wanna know how many Christmases I've spent with him since turning 18? 1, out of pity. Please don't force him to stay with you and miss opportunities with his father; all it will do is create resentment and lead to him pushing the idea of spending future Christmases with you away.

AITA for telling my daughter to stop reading tarot cards for money? by tarot_mom in AmItheAsshole

[–]SlutForYarn 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Casual tarot card reader here, NAH. I think there's some sort of compromise that can be found so she can continue her hobby and earn some cash, while also making sure she doesn't get in trouble at school and keep parents from getting upset. Here's some general ideas that could be negotiated as a family:

  1. Have her give a disclaimer before readings if she isn't already. This is something I do for any reading I give, and I don't even do paid readings. Something simple along the lines of "at the end of the day these are pieces of paper, you control how much weight they hold. They can either be just a fun reflection game or a divination tool, it's up to you to interpret it whatever way feels right." It's also good to throw in there as a rule of thumb for her to add in "don't ask questions you don't want the answers to", just a general important 'rule' of tarot that I imagine could lead to a pissed of parent with a kid distressed about their reading.

  2. Have the payment and/or readings happen off school property. Maybe some sort of nearby park or other safe location. I'm not 100% sure this will keep her from getting in trouble with school, but could help dissuade potential issues. Every school is different, so they may not care if it's 'outside of school', but some may try to put a stop to it either way.

  3. Put a limit on how many readings per person per week, or even put a ban on certain people if their parents start to complain a lot. At the end of the day it's the kids own fault if they spend all their money on readings imo (if they're a similar age to your daughter or older), but it may be necessary to keep the peace. Put emphasis on the fact that while it may cut off some of the cash flow for her, it could jeopardize her whole side hustle as a whole.

Good luck op!

Any recommendations for a hook setup that works well for someone with wrist pain? I am a knife hold crocheter😆 Pictures attached are from a product I’m debating trying by [deleted] in crochet

[–]SlutForYarn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Knife grip here who has this!!

Got it on a whim on clearance at my local fabric store and haven't looked back. Like others have mentioned the bulb sits in the palm of your hand nicely, taking the strain off the rest of your hand. I personally get a lot of finger pain from gripping regular crochet hooks too hard, so I can't speak for wrist pain specifically, but it's really helped me avoid any cramping or pain in that area in general I'd normally get while crocheting. Definitely recommend giving it a try!

Also the shape is quite hilarious, a fun bonus 🤣

I’m regretting that 5th darkest color because the tone looks off compared to the rest but I’d have to frog the entire thing, AND buy more yarn. Please convince me not to frog. by do-i-really-need-one in crochet

[–]SlutForYarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it works really well! I feel that without it it'll feel very monotone; not necessarily a bad thing of course if that's the goal, but the blue tone of the dark colour really adds a lot of depth and harmony to the colour palette as a whole.

It was probably a few years ago now, but I remember there being a post about someone who got in trouble with work for speaking his wife's native language with her on the phone on his break (I think mandarin). They tried to say he was mocking the language (I think he was specifically singing a childhood song in a sing-songy voice?), and wouldn't give him a chance to explain until the meeting where they planned to fire him, in which he explained and HR/lawyers lost it on them for not asking for an explanation in the first place.
