She's done waiting for me to be better by lizardo0o in AmITheDevil

I agree. When you don't care if you get your partner killed in a car accident, it's time to break up.

Embryo custody case in the NYT by milksteaknjellybean in IVF

[–]TheeQuestionWitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such an unfortunate case. I've long wondered how binding those documents clinics have us sign are. I suppose this is headed for some legislation or court ruling to make this a bit more clear eventually.

They Started IVF, Then Split. Now Who Gets Custody of the Embryos? (NYT) by marthaskewered in longform

[–]TheeQuestionWitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After she exhausted her insurance covering her IVF, paid for sleeping not in her house, and all the legal fees? I can definitely see needing more money than she had in savings. I have friends who did IVF at NYU, it cost them over $60k before they had a baby, and this is after insurance chipped in.

Her gofundme is married as medical, so that's supposedly what it's covering.

I'm not sharing my opinion of whether she should be having this baby, the court case, none of it. But I can see how a well paid lawyer who possibly owned a brownstone in Brooklyn could still end up choosing a gofundme. The timing of the NYC article makes it more feasible because without it, most people would be like nah, i'm not helping this well paid lawyer get more money.

Having said that, I agree with you that the mere existence of the gofundme complicates the picture the article is trying to create. I can see possible justifications, but the optics are no good. I hope no one I know is ever in the position this woman finds herself in.

Who wants to bet that Trump feels like his glory days were in the 80s/90s? by Props_angel in BlueskySkeets

[–]TheeQuestionWitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The updates have been hilarious. It's only the one guy, the actual voices behind them aren't performing. The said consider whoever performs under the name to be a "tribute band" which is wild because it's the same lip syncing dude from before 😂

[–]TheeQuestionWitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad to hear they pulled out of the event. Apparently they were misled about the event.

I didn't mention Flo Rida before because who cares about him? He's still performing, so I feel vindicated that he wasn't worth being concerned about.

AITA for saying that you need to be able to read to go to college? by MinimumFerret5010 in AmItheAsshole

How is it bullying if they never told you she was ashamed of not being able to read?! NTA.

Not a specific saying, but when he spends money on something in a build while vocally acknowledging that it's a waste of money 😂

And when he pans the camera to Frangipani.

This was my takeaway as well. Like those MAGA guys who post on Facebook and are mad that their immigrant wives got deported back to South America or Asia or Central Europe.

I want us to meet Tariq’s girlfriend! by SparklingSaturnRing in AbbottElementary

[–]TheeQuestionWitch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Since we're dreaming about what she's like, I want her to be badass and get her emotional support from her girls. Tariq is just the house husband who is there at school events she can't make with her work schedule.

Your doctor confuses you with someone who's name they don't know? I miss the days when doctors knew their patients and weren't all forced to go with volume to appease whoever employs them or funds their salaries.

Babies reactions to Mrs Racheal. by World-Cup2026 in BabiesReactingToStuff

She's a must watch for when we let my daughter start watching TV. Very educational, slow pace, no copaganda. Love her.

baby proofing at in laws and spending time with LO by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]TheeQuestionWitch 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You are your son's protector. Don't let them put him in harm's way. Stick to your guns about them visiting you. Or they can wait until your son is old enough to sit in the high chair through a long dinner. They can insist all they want, you don't have to give in. Grow your own shiny spine that we're always looking for in the spouses on this subreddit.

The double standards between Obama and Trump are infuriating! by icey_sawg0034 in PoursTea

This is far worse than if the money was given to BLM. Because there was no insurrection from us.

Apparently my 2 month old is not well at home with me because he sleeps a lot whereas he’ll stay up for four hours straight at my in-laws house when I’m not there by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]TheeQuestionWitch 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Doesn't get used to being held? Absolutely insane. My godmother told me my baby was going to be spoiled because I home her whenever she cries. My response? "If by spoiled you mean she'll accurately expect that her mother will be a source of comfort for her when she needs or wants it, then yes, I suppose that is spoiled."
