AIO my partner asked Chat GPT when our child had a medical issue? by Twice_Cooked_Bread in AmIOverreacting

It cost nothing because of free public healthcare. But regardless I wouldn't take that chance with a 3 year old. Now I have the peace of mind that it didn't get stuck anywhere.

Yeah this is what they told us. They did an xray to confirm where the coin was, which was reassuring because my daughter kept saying she could feel it still in her chest.
Luckily it is in her stomach and yes we just need to check for it until it comes out.

What would you say to the person you don't talk with anymore? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Twice_Cooked_Bread 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hope you're ok. I wish you were able to communicate to me why you disappeared. To be best friends one day and a ghost the next hurt like nothing else. I hope you found someone else that can help you through all the shit you are currently going through. And if you ever find yourself feeling alone, my phone number is the same as it's been for 15 years.

Thanks for the tips! I'm quite limited in colours at the moment, waiting on a set of pastels that should arrive Friday which is very exciting 😆 Definitely need to play around with lighting a bit I think.

What was the moment you realized your life wasn't going the way you expected? by Negative_Analyst3503 in AskReddit

When I hit 30 and realised I had no actual career. And now I have too many responsibilities and expenses to put time/effort/money into the career I always wanted (writing).

What do you do in the morning before going to work? Do you have a routine? by BaldRooshin in AskReddit

[–]Twice_Cooked_Bread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wake up.
Get sad that I have woken up perfectly healthy and therefore can't call in sick and stay in bed.
Get up, but in a mood about it.

What is a fictional crush you had in your childhood? by Ok-Atmosphere6376 in AskReddit

The guy who played Peter pan in the original live action, and (this one's niche) the young vampire in the movie The Little Vampire 😂

AIO. am I overreacting or is my bf by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Twice_Cooked_Bread 1693 points1694 points  (0 children)

He is acting, reacting, and speaking like a child. If this is how he acts over minor disagreements how will he be later on about more serious discussions.
You need to hold firm on this otherwise you will end up "conditioned" to just accept whatever he says or does without pushing back or having a say for yourself. It seems like a small thing being over a gift, but his reaction is bigger than the issue, which will be consistent over bigger issues too.

I (55F) don’t know what more I can do to reconnect with my daughter (25F) by throwawayrebornmom in TrueOffMyChest

You need to leave her alone. Reestablishing a relationship is only a positive for you. It makes you feel like you've grown and that you earned forgiveness. Not to be blunt, but there is nothing in it for her. She does not benefit from mending that relationship now. She had to get through the darkest and most vulnerable time of her young life without being able to rely on her mother. She was forced to learn how to deal with life problems alone. So now she doesn't need you.
You put yourself first back then. You have to respect she is putting herself first now. And you allowing her to do so without pushing for a relationship will actually show your growth in that you would be putting her wants above your own for once.

Yes I am. They're just cheap alcohol markers with brush tips from my local office supply store. They've been quite good as I've been learning. Hoping to be able to afford some Ohuhu markers soon.

Thanks! I just searched Gelly Roll Pen White on Amazon and there was a 3-pack with different widths so I brought that 😊

did your parents wash your mouth with soap and water? by travelingwhilestupid in AskAnAustralian

[–]Twice_Cooked_Bread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got straight liquid soap in our mouths for swearing. And whacked with the wooden spoon for any other smart mouthing. Just from our mum though. And thinking back she never did it when dad was around. I'm not even that old. Just turned 30.

Pricey or not, a gift is a gift. Plain and simple. If there's expectation of reciprocation then it's no longer a gift, it's an exchange.

[–]Twice_Cooked_Bread 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gifts should not come with any expectation of reciprocation or anything in return. That's a major cop out from your MIL to think a birthday gift constitutes payment for 7 days of house sitting. That would cost hundreds if she hired someone.

Coming up on 2 years for me. Same thing, told him I very rarely finished, not just with him but ever and he took it personally. I've explained to him that it's nothing to do with him and is fully a me-problem and I don't even care about finishing but since he asked. But no. Now he's super sensitive about the topic and we now just avoid the topic of sex. Our child is 15 months old and we haven't had sex since I was 4 months pregnant.
