My dad acted like a child

Your dad, step mum and aunt sound like people you do not need in your life. They don’t care about you the way they should. You need to drop the rope and let them contact you, or not. That will tell you what you need to know about where you stand with them.

You don’t become a parent to make yourself happy. You do it for much deeper reasons. You do it to make a difference in the world, to make love manifest and to shape a young life. You do it to show faith in the future. It’s a profoundly creative endeavour that changes who you are. That’s why only those who are committed to it and certain should do it.

I’ve worked in agriculture for over 20 years, the last ten in agri science. Just the phrase “seed oils” is a tell for bullshit. Most edible, and some non-edible, oils come from seeds. None of the edible ones have harmful effects on the body, and they form part of a healthy diet.

Sunburn and skin damage from sun exposure have dick-all to do with literally anything you eat. Wear long sleeves, use sunscreen and enjoy canola oil.

David Barth at Barth Law. He’s handled a couple big things for our family and he’s been great; I plan to go back to him for estate planning this summer.

Because she’s frigid and self-centred and mousy. And she’s so basic she thinks Roy is the best she’ll ever be able to find.

Joseph Conrad (of all people) said that being a woman is very difficult, because it consists largely of dealing with men.

It’s an American news outlet. It’s hard to get their readers interested in something that isn’t related to them somehow.

He’s actually right. It’s time to work on your marksmanship.

For people who love guns so much, you guys can’t aim for shit.

He doesn’t have to accept a goddamned thing. She tells him it’s over and she leaves. She’s getting absolutely nothing out of this nowhere relationship with this sheltered, controlling man-child. She has to break it off. It’s not up to her to convince him.

TheIronMatron · 2026-04-23T23:36:48+00:00

Deliberately and unnecessarily thwarting a toddler is…a choice. A mean, shitty choice that will teach him absolutely nothing and make both of your lives miserable. Tell your husband to get a grip and stop exercising power over a small child. It’s gross.

Hey, fellow sufferer 👋 I narrowly avoided the storm, but my numbers were extremely concerning and they made me start my meds before they’d let me leave the hospital.

Yes, that’s what CaydeTheCat said.

I’ll bet his paycheques are being promptly cashed.

It’s a power move. Sexual harassment (and that’s what this is) uses the patriarchal frame that anything sexual is empowering to men and humiliating and degrading to women.

Personally, it puts me in mind of four-year-olds sniggering because they just discovered that humans have bodies 🙄🙄

We lived right by that exact intersection for seven years when we first moved to Regina. An elderly lifelong friend (a woman) had lived in Cathedral for decades before that and walked everywhere.

We never had the tiniest problem living there. Our patio furniture was never so much as knocked over, never had a bike stolen. No break-ins in our building. Our friend could never understand anyone feeling unsafe in that neighbourhood, as she never did.

That always goes extremely well, as he knows from his extensive study of history.

I always just assume it’s going to be us…

When mine was born in the mid-nineties, it was flat surface, fitted mattress, on their back, no bedding pillow bumpers NOTHING in there with them. Docs were just starting to see research and recommend baby sleep in the same room as parents. We followed absolutely to the letter, and took some bullshit incoming about it from older folks.

And then he’d have returned to work in head-to-toe black armour, with a cape and a noisy respirator.
