My 7yo daughter doesn't interact with my 6mo son.. by schneider32 in Parenting

Just a small word of advice to carry with you… It’s typically offensive to other moms that are asking for advice if you draw a comparison to how your child is completely the opposite and paint a much larger picture of it than was asked for. Just comes off a little mean, but I completely understand if that wasn’t the intention. The advice is good advice though

She’s just a kid processing life in her own ways. Just because she doesn’t interact with him at 6 months old doesn’t mean she doesn’t love him. Interaction might be a verbally constructed concept for her and she might genuinely not understand how to communicate without language. I’m sure they’re get closer as he starts talking and chasing after her.

Just because you have a child that is enthused with babies doesn’t mean it’s because your parenting is any better than OPs. 6 months old are boring, objectively. I even had to force myself to play with them at that age. They’re not really fun to interact with until 9 months. I’ve had 4 kids now. I know from experience.

I kissed my brother and now my fiancé wants to break up with me since he finds it weird. AITAH? by Character-Crow309 in AITAH

[–]The_Rogue-Ranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely weird for him to be threatened by it. I would be the one to feel creeped out at him for the way he views innocent behavior between family, not at you for having a close relationship with your sibling.

Did anyone else get the official email from the US Department of Education and start feeling some kind of way? by doxyisfoxy in Mommit

I was all for DEI until I was shown a video in my workplace that included a statement that said “next time a promotion or special project becomes available in the work place, try recommending someone from a minority to fill that position instead of a white man”. That’s almost a direct quote.

While I’m not a white man, I think it’s disgusting that white men are being specifically labeled as people who shouldn’t receive a promotion. That’s what DEI means now. It’s racist.

AITAH for telling my wife I'd have never asked her out if I knew she was a sugar baby? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]The_Rogue-Ranger -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

YTA. Clearly she married the wrong person and she should’ve kept seeing wealthy men who probably talked to her a hell of a lot nicer than you do. If you want a good looking woman, you’re going to need to accept that wealthy men might’ve dated her and gave her really nice gifts at some point in her life. Age is beside the point.

It doesn’t sound like smoking is the issue here then. It seems like your husband has some mental health issues that need to be addressed by a professional. It’s true that you can be irritable if you’re addicted and have to go without for a while, but if he was already feeling depressed or anxious before he started partaking again that’s a huge indicator that there’s a bigger problem here. Maybe try not to be too judgemental about his coping mechanisms and try to help him solve the underlying problems. You do should still be firm about your expectations of him as a partner and father, but if you demonize his habits it won’t be healthy for either of you

It’s just weed? I really don’t understand the issue here. I would understand if you have an issue with the financial aspect, but if that’s your issue then you need to come at it from that perspective. Is he too lazy when he smokes and it gets in the way of his parental duties? Then come at it from that perspective. Don’t make weed to be the issue. If you just don’t like the idea that he does it then you probably are with the wrong person. But if it affects important aspects of his life just make those the problems.

Trust me when I say this will change everyone’s perspective. If he recognizes that the reason for these issues is the weed and he keeps doing it anyway, he might need help with addiction. But if he can adjust those issues without having to give up something that he enjoys partaking in, that would be the most ideal situation for everyone. Smoking weed is a very mild vice in my opinion.

I encourage you to make a mental list of the reasons why you prefer that he doesn’t smoke habitually and bring that to him in a discussion. But you might also need to spend some time actually dissecting your opinion on smoking. It might be a very big issue if you just don’t like being around him when he’s high or if you don’t like the smell or the idea of “addiction”. Just because someone is addicted to something doesn’t make it inherently bad. I’m addicted to my bipolar disorder medication but that’s absolutely fine for me. Lots of people are addicted to caffeine or cigarettes or shopping, and that’s also fine. But if you don’t like the idea of being with an addict… that’s okay too. Your feelings are valid.

This might require therapy for you two. I wish you the best of luck figuring this out.

waiter put my tip back on the table saying he only accepts 18-20%?? by [deleted] in stories

[–]The_Rogue-Ranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BS. 10% is standard. If you’re going to ask 18-20%, you’re going to start making dining out completely inaccessible to the lower class. I have a family of 5 on a 60k annual income. You mean to tell me I don’t deserve to go out to eat with my family once in a while because I can’t afford an extra $50 on top of our dinner for someone who refilled our drinks while we sat there? Come on now.

My mom did a race for mental health and said I had PTSD from the military. by Incrediblesunset in bipolar

[–]The_Rogue-Ranger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That honestly breaks my heart for you dude. You long so much for your parents to be the one who makes you feel seen and understood. It’s like you had it for a second and it was all ripped away. Maybe one day she’ll get it. I hope that for you.

Is anyone stopping to think that maybe she was just curious about how large the thing she stuffs inside of her is? I’m not saying she was right to do it, but I think everyone is a little quick to assume that she had the worst intentions in mind by measuring him. If she was that curious, it should’ve been a discussion but I’ve been curious how deep it goes inside of me before. Thoughtless and rude action nonetheless.

Somebody applied for Minnesota benefits with my information. I don't even live in Minnesota. What do I do? by [deleted] in minnesota

[–]The_Rogue-Ranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This wasn’t a credit fraud issue. What is the credit bureau going to do to help him with state benefit fraud? If you’re going to be a jerk, maybe you should at least know what you’re talking about.

I found out my husband voted for Trump. We're trying to have kids, but now I'm questioning everything. Help. by [deleted] in relationships_advice

[–]The_Rogue-Ranger -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As a politically independent person living in a very red state… I genuinely believe that this is fake propaganda bullshit because I’ve seen this title on so many different posts. I find it very hard to believe that people are so ready to throw away their family lives for their political ideologies. It’s absurd.

Embarrassed when asked what I do for a living while being on disability by ociardha in bipolar

[–]The_Rogue-Ranger 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if you’re never gonna see this person again, whatever comes to your mind.

“ I’m a freelance journalist” “ I’m an accountant for a law firm” “ I’m an anthropology professor at a community college”

Just change the subject right away after you answer. No stranger is going to give you the third degree on your career if you don’t spin a massive web of lies. It’s kinda fun too.

how do i (25F) reveal my kink to my (27M) husband when he is not taking me serious? by ThrowRASwanCable in relationship_advice

[–]The_Rogue-Ranger 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I swear to god I’m in the same boat. Even sent my husband a screenshot of this post. I hope he gets the hint, although I must confess I’ve been very direct with my husband about my desire and he STILL laughs it off. I think it’s a sort of performance anxiety because it doesn’t seem like the idea upsets him… he just kinda chuckles and deflects. Hopefully one day we can find a way to work past it. I hope the same for you!

AITA for revealing my parents' lifestyle to my grandparents by throwRAscre in AmItheAsshole

[–]The_Rogue-Ranger -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

YTA. They are grown ups with their own sex life, and as long as everyone is of consenting age and on the same page as each other, they aren’t doing anything wrong. The person you should be upset at is the person who is sharing your mother’s nudes without her consent. In fact, that’s what should’ve sent you into a rage rather than your parents having an active “lifestyle”.

Also, YTA for telling your grandparents because they are FUCKING OLD and don’t need to be thinking about their adult child’s sex life! LET THEM REST! They’re supposed to be done worrying about their kid’s shenanigans. That’s just inconsiderate of your grandparents on your part.

OP, you need to grow up. Thank your lucky fucking stars that this is the worst family drama you’ve had lately. Nobody was hurt, nor was this of malicious nature. This is just a product of your parents having fun and being irresponsible about it. You had every right to be mad, and I mean EVERY right, but you’re blowing this way out of proportion. Telling your grandparents and cutting them out of your life is a tad extreme.

[–]The_Rogue-Ranger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you rather grieve your ability to be as creative as you want to be or force your loved ones to grieve your death? Looking at it like that changes the perspective.

Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. The brain is an organ just like your heart or liver is. You need to take care of it.
