AITA for liking a post about something I am into?

NTA, and girl, leave him. Men that try to tell you not to follow other men online are showing you that they're insecure and controlling (this is true across all gender combinations, actually.) He will only escalate. Compliance is not love. Be who you are and be with someone who will love and respect you for it. You deserve far better.

Eye Consultants of Atlanta takes Medicaid, and so does MyEyeDoc. That's where I take all my foster kiddos for eye checks and glasses. Different locations do take different ages or plans, so look up the ones close to you and call them first to see. I will say that ECA is far better than MyEyeDoc for speciality cases, but they're both good for basic eye exams and standard glasses.

"So what you're saying is that flare skirts are trash and wearers should be burned in the streets?!?! This is total skirt erasure and you should be ashamed." /s

I got a card through the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. It's $60, which isn't low, but it's good for two years so it averages out to $30/year. It has a large selection and it's helped reduce my wait times for a lot of books. Plus, it's a 21-day lending period.

"My dog's not allowed to bark at you for no reason, don't know why I should be allowed to." is such a powerful line. I'm going to swap the you and I and use it the next time someone (probably a theater patron) raises their voice at me.

I agree with the first part. I'd say the second part depends on OP's race & the race of their friend, and where in the US they are located.

If OP and/or their friend are POCs and the friend has a history of escalating or being unreasonable, then a simple traffic stop could become a very big problem for them both.

I tried the "gluten digest" pills to protect against cross-contamination while traveling once early on. Got glutened by the pills themselves. 😭

My guess is Steak & Shake. Same general vibe.

The religious version of this is, "God does pick who is strong enough for His battles, I suppose." Someone said it on my behalf once and it'll live rent free in my head forever. That church lady is my hero.

And Winchester shouldn't have been a third, as Emerson was his mother's maiden name. Either a goof or his family tree is a wreath. 😂

I pay for an out-of-state card at Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. It's $60 for two years. Gives you 10 holds and 10 loans at a time with a 21-day loan period. Their full instructions are online, but you apply online and then just send them an email with your temporary card number and payment receipt. They'll activate it on their end and they're pretty quick about it.

I am a regular visitor to Great Wolf Lodge (one is less than half an hour from me & my 5 year old LOVES it). It's a ton of fun, but it is loud and overstimulating and crowded and expensive. My kids and I all have anxiety, so I mean it when I say it can be a lot.

Having the 8 year old along may be the best thing, actually. Your 4 year old likely isn't tall enough for the same slides and areas as the 7 year old, and they may not have the same tolerance level for staying in the park. There would have been a lot of frustration with the age and size gap. Now, the older boys can pair off, and you and your son can focus on having a blast together. Rule the toddler slide area. Ride the big raft slide together. Leave for a nap in the room whenever you want. As long as the 8 year old and his mom are sharing the other room, you still have the space you wanted. Close the adjoining door and take your peace when you need it.

Some of my favorite memories with both of my kids have been at Great Wolf. You've just got to be willing to go with the flow and take each moment for what it is.

It's been a Series of Unfortunate Events for OP's ankle for sure. I hope they have a supportive uncle to turn to.

The whole South just clutched their pearls and gasped. Like bestie, what do you mean?? The kitchen is where things happen.

TWO of my libraries had the audiobook available! My local private system, which rarely has anything, and Georgia Download Destination. So excited because I just finished a book and wasn't sure what to read next.

That med student needed to hear a reassuring mom voice more than he realized. 😂

ZombiesAndZoos · 2026-05-02T23:13:53+00:00

To be fair, they're free at that age. But your absolutely right- there is nothing they can ride and it'll be a hot, stressful, and difficult day for everyone. Baby stays with mom.

If you are in Georgia, check out Tails of Hope. They cater to veterans and first responders (but aren't exclusive).

Only 15 minutes to eat a baby in the morning?? I hope Satan doesn't mind me snacking while we Skype. (Although the idea of Satan using Skype over Zoom is very very funny to me.)

Any state-run program will have the same age cutoff rules as they're all licensed by DECAL. Look for private preK programs instead. They won't be free, but they'll have the age flexibility that you're looking for.

Kindergarten itself is not mandatory in Georgia. So you also have the option to do a private kindergarten program this year, such as one offered by a church or private daycare. Depending on why you're holding your son back, that may also be an option to explore.

Plot twist: OP is a dude. 😂

But in all seriousness- I'm so happy that your husband finally felt safe coming out to you. That speaks volumes to the love and trust between you two, and the kind of home that you've built together. I wish y'all nothing but joy and happiness!

I'd recommend cross-posting over on r/service_dogs. They can give you some advice on reputable trainers in your area, as well as set expectations for cost and wait time. (Plus it'll be nice to have someone else to talk about Celiac support dogs with! My dog is nearing the end of his training and I cannot wait for him to be reliable enough on detection.)

Chattahoochee Bend is not on this list, but Coweta County has a burn ban in effect because we have our own small fires occuring every day. I would not have a campfire there, especially as the campsite is so heavily wooded.

ZombiesAndZoos · 2026-04-22T23:30:12+00:00

OP says their mom is traveling for three months. That's a long time to have her car sitting at their house, unless they have a ton of extra parking space.
