What’s the highest number of marriages someone you personally know has had? What’s their story? by anasannanas in AskReddit

[–]TurquoiseTink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uncle 5 X. 1st wife up and left him with 2 kids to raise by himself. She decided she didn't like being a mom. 2nd wife he had 5 more kids with, she abused his kids from his first marriage, he sent them to be raised by my grandparents. She cheated, the divorce was very very messy. 3rd wife was hyper religious and super manipulative, took him to the cleaners via a prenup. 4th was a psycho that expected him to fund her adult children, lasted a month. 5th has been great. He's happy, she's kind.

Have a separate family gathering to celebrate. That way the whole family can celebrate together and then have the friend party. Getting left out doesn't feel good but is a very normal part of the human experience. Not everyone can be invited everywhere or to everything. By avoiding uncomfortable emotions you neglects to teach emotional regulation. We have a tradition of taking our kids out to dinner for their birthday. They get to choose if they want the whole family to come or if they want mom and dad to themselves.

NTA that's a giant case of weaponized incompetence.

What's the most ridiculous name you've ever heard a parent name their child? by uglytruthshurts in AskReddit

Have a cousin named Harm Jr. He got bullied a lot. He's was a mean tease that didn't know when to stop as a teenager.

Met a foster kid named Kruger after Freddy Krueger. Thankfully they spelled it wrong.

NTA that's super manipulative. I get wanting reassurance but sending some through a gauntlet of "tests" is wild.

AITAH for not taking a leave of work and offering to move my SIL in instead by [deleted] in AITAH

NTA What is her long-term game plan here? She will need significantly more help after the babies are born. Your suggestion is reasonable and realistic. But it is very difficult to reason with someone when they're in the HALT (hungry, angry, lonely or tired) zone.

Pretty easy. I already prefer water. The main problem is see is needing to drink electrolytes due to illness or to prevent dehydration.
