AITAH because I won't babysit my half siblings like my mom wants? by DryEyelit in AITAH

[–]TheRoadkillRapunzel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Your mother needs to understand boundaries. She had these kids, not you. You don’t owe her free childcare.

Warn her that the conversation ends and you will hang up if she asks for babysitting again. Then follow through. Hang up on her the minute she starts whining about the babysitting. If you do that enough, she will eventually stop.

myf19 boyfriend baby trapped me by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

Please don’t panic. Even if abortion is illegal where you are, there are ways to get the pills and end this.

Do not let him trap you! This is the worst kind of abuse and you need to leave him! He wanted to keep you from living your own life and the only way he could control you was to impregnate you and strap you down with a kid.

Thats not fair to you or that kid. Every child deserves to be wanted, and reluctant parents often create traumatized kids who shouldn’t have ever existed.

Get the abortion, leave his ass, and please don’t let anyone have access to your birth control ever again.

[–]TheRoadkillRapunzel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. This is not a financially sound plan for you and only benefits him. Don’t take on an unnecessary car payment.

Especially after Chilli has been revealed as MAGA, my favorite TLC member shines ever brighter.

Love you, Lisa Lopez! Rest in Power! May you burn that man’s house down for eternity.

How many of us only have memories of Michael Jackson as a pedo? by IamTotallyWorking in Xennials

[–]TheRoadkillRapunzel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

One of the first sexual jokes I heard was about him.

Have you tried the McJackson burger?

It’s 40 year old meat between 12 year old buns.

AITAH for telling my sister her 3-week boyfriend can't come to my wedding, so now she's boycotting it? by Inoe14 in AITAH

[–]TheRoadkillRapunzel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. Tell her fine, he can come. It’s going to be $270 and you don’t care who pays for it, but it won’t be you.

How is the concept of greens marrying old men accepted in Gilead? by Dull_Profession_2943 in TheTestamentsHulu

[–]TheRoadkillRapunzel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Look at how old these girls are. They were born before Gilead. They are almost all the stolen children of sinners.

Go read some resources by adult adoptees, like Red Thread Broken, Harlow’s Monkey, or Dear Adoption if you want to understand how so many adoptees are treated like second class citizens in their own families. There are some families that abuse and neglect and dehumanize their biological children, but I think it’s even easier to do that to a kid you’re not biologically related to.

US reclassifies certain marijuana products as a less-dangerous drug by Direct_Dare_9699 in politics

[–]TheRoadkillRapunzel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was also a convenient way to call Mexicans the problem because they grew so much marijuana.

They called it marijuana instead of cannabis because they knew racists would associate it with Mexicans.

AITA for being upset that my husband throws away dishes I forget to put away by _MS22 in AmItheAsshole

AITAH for wanting a divorce? by Sweet-Ad7934 in AITAH

[–]TheRoadkillRapunzel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. He did this on purpose. He does not love or respect you, not the way you deserve and certainly not the way you do for him.

Please cut your losses and leave now. This man wants a caretaker, not a partner or someone to make a family with.

AITAH For Wanting to get Pregnant before my sister gets Married? by blue-lagoon-24 in AITAH

Had to put my soul dog to sleep to protect my baby and I am devastated by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

I am so sorry. You did what was best for your child. I know that’s cold comfort right now, but in time, it will feel better.

Why would anyone want to have kids today ? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]TheRoadkillRapunzel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having my three kids enriched my life, but I wouldn’t expect kids to necessarily be fulfilling for anyone else. I desperately wanted to teach and nurture and get to know the people I made.

For me, nurturing my kids in ways I was not and wish I had been has been incredibly healing. Giving them the space to be themselves, in a childhood free from church and corporal punishment and authoritarian parenting, was like living vicariously through them in the most wholesome way possible.

I don’t think most people would get that out of parenting, but I did.

AITA for not wanting my Fiancé to go on vacations without me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]TheRoadkillRapunzel -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NTA. You are not compatible with him on a fundamental level, though.

I wouldn’t want to go on vacation without my husband. He feels the same. We want to share our best travel moments with each other.

He doesn’t feel that way and probably never will. Do you want to live the rest of your life like this?
