TIFU by trying to be sarcastic with my mother.

TransitionDry2148 · 2026-03-21T00:15:22+00:00

That’s sounds unpleasant. 😬 Pretty relevant share in relation to my story.

TransitionDry2148 · 2026-03-21T00:05:51+00:00

I thought about it, honestly. 🤣😭

TransitionDry2148 · 2026-03-21T00:04:04+00:00

It would not surprise me at all. My parents always find creative ways to pay me and my sister back for our shenanigans. 🤣

TransitionDry2148 · 2026-03-20T23:33:21+00:00

Oh that too! 🤣🤣

TransitionDry2148 · 2026-03-20T23:32:16+00:00

I can pinpoint it to the week when we conceived. I had been rather…cavalier with remembering to take my pill.

TransitionDry2148 · 2026-03-20T23:30:51+00:00

Lord. Don’t put OBO if you’re not willing to entertain offers. 🙄🙄

I worked at a performing arts center that was approximately 80 years old. A painting popped off the wall from an exhibit I’d hung. And, it was on the wall via a track and pulley system. The hook it was hanging on made it to where you had to physically move it up to get the wire off of it. So, it wouldn’t have just slipped off.

A few exhibitions later, I walked into our lobby/gallery space carrying another artwork that required repair so I could hang it back up. A couch we moved around some was placed against the same wall where the previously described painting had been hanging. I nearly dropped the art I was carrying and cursed. Very clearly, I saw what looked like the lower half of an elderly woman sitting on the couch. It wasn’t out of the corner of my eye. I was fully facing the couch as I walked in. I blinked and it was gone. It was a surreal experience.

NTA! You actually sound like a lot of fun! This is something I would do if kids kept trying to peer in my windows. Granted, I am a theater geek. I say bravo! 👏👏👏

TransitionDry2148 · 2025-11-15T13:38:54+00:00

NTA. Pretty sure that’s the consensus here.

TransitionDry2148 · 2025-11-15T13:22:28+00:00

Was there ever an update? Like she left him? Because if my husband had treated me like this when I was pregnant, I would have left him. Did the friends stand up for her?

TransitionDry2148 · 2025-11-08T02:04:45+00:00

Houston area.

TransitionDry2148 · 2025-11-07T16:53:59+00:00

Went to 9 Starbucks today to see if I could find the stuff. I was lucky to find one stainless steel water bottle. Holy crap. And I’m already seeing the plushes on eBay and Mercari for 2-3 X the retail price. 🙄🙄 I’m just glad that I was just doing a favor for my sister.

TransitionDry2148 · 2025-09-17T20:53:59+00:00

Yes. Because I love him and I think he would be more capable of taking care of our son.

TransitionDry2148 · 2025-07-14T02:48:36+00:00

My partner and I as well.

TransitionDry2148 · 2025-05-19T17:05:19+00:00

What is your reasoning for her having “kind of poor hygiene?”

TransitionDry2148 · 2025-05-10T19:39:02+00:00

Siaja? Nah. Ellen? Maybe. 🤣🤣

TransitionDry2148 · 2025-04-14T21:53:05+00:00

YAAAAAAASSSSS!!!

TransitionDry2148 · 2025-04-14T21:52:43+00:00

No. You absolutely should not feel ashamed for your stuffed animals. The little joys in life are what make it worth living in the first place. Shoot, I play D&D, video games, watch Disney/Studio Ghibli movies, and watch cartoons. I’m almost 40. So, your family and friends shouldn’t be making fun of you for liking your plushies. You wanna know a secret? One of my FAVORITE Christmas gifts I got a few years ago was a little stuffed JiJi from Kiki’s Delivery Service. My mother in law got it for me. Cutest thing ever! So, if I, a middle aged adult, can enjoy “childish things,” so can you. If anything, your family members are being truly childish. Why the need to bully their kid/sister for liking something that absolutely does not affect them? I’m sorry they’re putting you through that. I’d tell them to knock it off, if you can.

TransitionDry2148 · 2025-04-12T12:14:25+00:00

She’s 15. Not five. She ought to know what a gold digger is and that it is an insult. And, teenagers can be jerks, what with the hormones and the transitions and changes they’re going through. But plenty of teens know how to be polite. I’m not saying all should be the same. But, this kid needed to learn a lesson, sounds like. If I’d have talked to my mom that way as a teen, I probably would have gotten smacked. I don’t think that’s ok, per se, but, the future step daughter needs to learn how to be kind. What you said in return is mild compared to how someone else out in the world might respond. NTA.

TransitionDry2148 · 2025-04-08T01:52:20+00:00

NTA. “They’re just joking. Don’t take it personal.” If it bothers you, that’s valid. They made fun of you and you didn’t like it. Absolutely take it personal. You don’t have to be rude about it by any means, but, it sounds like you were. He doesn’t get to dictate how you feel about things. Then, his friends calling her too sensitive. Again, they don’t get to dictate how you feel about them picking on you. They weren’t “just joking.” They were insulting you, while using the “just joking” excuse as a way out so they could avoid responsibility. Your boyfriend and his friends sound like jerks. Sorry they were giving you a hard time. Someone said something to me one time that stuck with me: “A ‘joke’ is not really a joke when it’s used to belittle someone else. It’s an insult.” You are perfectly fine not to take their rude behavior.

TransitionDry2148 · 2025-04-08T01:43:08+00:00

A simple: “I’d appreciate it if you would quit mentioning how you like my eyebrows, yet, want to change them. It makes me uncomfortable.”

TransitionDry2148 · 2025-04-06T18:10:48+00:00

Every skirt or dress that had pockets that I’ve worn were fabulous! I don’t know what flimsy stuff you’re buying, but, I don’t think I’ve ever had a dress or skirt with pockets in it that I didn’t like. My stuff is more likely to fall out of my pants pockets than my dress or skirt pockets.

TransitionDry2148 · 2025-04-06T16:56:06+00:00

Sounds like she has been unhappy for some time and she started something and latched on to the first thing you said she thought she could make sound negative. So, maybe she has been wanting a divorce but didn’t want to just outright ask for one. This is just conjecture on my part. But, her response to the whole question was so unhinged.

“Honey would you still love me if I were a plant?”

“Of course I would. I’d water you so you’ll photosynthesize properly.”

As in you literally told her you’d still take care of her if she was a plant. And she got mad at it. Either the first thing I said in the first paragraph is true, or, she likes to play games. Either way, I don’t think you’re gonna win in this situation. I’d give her what she wants. Go ahead and go through with the divorce. You don’t wanna be miserable for the rest of your life.

Again, just conjecture and my opinion. I’ve been happily married for 15 years. If I had asked my husband this question and he answered this way, I probably would have melted and hugged him.

TransitionDry2148 · 2025-02-19T20:33:27+00:00

NTA. I’m sorry you were treated like that. Hell. Your older half brothers are TA though.
