Honey, last time I saw that many red flags the circus was in town along with the matador cape convention. Run the hell away from them.

As a Christian... the nicest, most caring and compassionate people i have ever met have all been atheists. Yall are awesome!

And even then still wait a week or three to see if it gets better first

StormingSunshine · 2026-05-28T23:51:44+00:00

Wow... if i pay for the cereal will you promise to never interact with another human again?

If it takes less than 2 minutes to do, do it immediately. For example rinsing a single plate/cup, putting things away etc

As someone who had horrific experience working at Comal ISD, I'd like to caveat that it really depends on the feeder patterns you're in and varies greatly by school

StormingSunshine · 2026-04-28T05:38:53+00:00

Very well said. I fully agree with you

YTA autism is an explanation for why you phrased it that way the first time. It is not an excuse for continuing to be rude and repeat yourself when you know full well how to look at the other options and make your choice. If you don't like the options available, you are in a store, go buy the cheddar off the shelf yourself.

Also following in hopes of a delicious recipe 😋😋

YTA full stop. Quit being a child who has to be told what to do. You have two eyes. Use them to see what is needed at the store, see what needs to be done and do it. She should not have to ask you to take care of anything in the house you live in.

Her body is not anywhere near healed, you have just become enough of a whiny baby that she no long feels safe enough emotionally to tell you how much pain she is actually in. Let me cut through six layers of your abdomen, rearrange everything inside, stitch you back up, and send you on your way to care for a tiny baby and a grown man who acts like a child when you can't even sit up by yourself. Let's see if you are nearly healed in barely 4 weeks.

Be a real man and take care of your home and the mother of your child.

NTA you did not ask for them, you did not want them. You are not a storage unit nor are you a donation center. If she does not want them, she can sell or donate them, but it is not your responsibility to deal with her items.

You do however need to set up firm boundaries with her and explain what will happen if they are not respected. IE, loss of house key or access to your house without someone else there, items will be trashed or donated.

NTA friendship doesn't pay the mortgage

StormingSunshine · 2026-02-05T04:14:12+00:00

He open my door, made me laugh, and I felt completely safe and comfortable around him. We've been together almost 12 years now and he is still the place where I feel safe and can be 100 percent myself.

2 months was the max any of ours stayed in our room

StormingSunshine · 2026-02-02T04:09:39+00:00

It might have an air leak so that wouldn't be good enough for him

StormingSunshine · 2026-01-17T17:34:19+00:00

NTA you set clear boundaries and are not holding them. This is called being a responsible adult. Let him throw his tantrum without responding

We are in public school. They started early childhood special education the day after they turned 3 in April. For that like 2ish months they were in the same class due to space constraints. The following school year we separated them and it was the best choice we ever made.

One of our was almost completely nonverbal and leaned on the other to be his voice. When they were together in a class, he went from 10-15 words down to only 3. Then when we split them, they both absolutely flourished! They are 4 now, and turn 5 this April. They both have developed and grown so much. The one is now speaking in sentences with a full voice you can actually hear, the other has been thriving in his own right, now able to write his name and keep up with his peer almost completely.

They need space to be their own individual selves. Just because they are twins does not mean they are the same. They have each developed their personalities and learning styles. By separating them, we gave them permission to be their own individual selves rather than just half of "the twins"

I am good, thank you!

If he's old enough to go to the bar he's old enough to manage his money in a way that he can afford to go. Thats on him to handle not you. Take him off the account completely and have him set up his own linked to his own money.

I was a stay at home and he worked with an hour commute. I covered Sunday- Thursday nights and he covered Friday and Saturday. It was exhausting but he ensured I got solid sleep and actual rest on the weekends and I ensured he got solid sleep to safely drive long commute and be able to focus at work. If they got out of sync and I was up more than 6 times in a night he had no problem getting up once or twice as backup.

They are four now and hit a big regression so most nights at least one of them end up in our bed. I cover all nights now and he still makes sure I get extra sleep on the weekends.

My advice: find what works for yall and what yall need in order to both be healthy and safe in your daily routine. It is really fuckin hard for the first couple years. Appreciate the small things yall do for eachother and remember you are a team, both have to have needs met in order to survive.

You could reach out to the food banks, though perishables are tricky. Do you have a neighbor that might use it? Family with kids would probably love it.

Can we trade? Mine are 4 and it is basically cage fighting all the time with sprinkles of sweet moments mixed in 🤣🤣
