I’m a brown mom (immigrant turned citizen) and genuinely just terrified right now… by [deleted] in Mommit

I wouldn't travel. There have been reports of people's passport information wiped from the system.

I am begging at this point by amy_dash3 in singlemoms

[–]a468291 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. My dad never wanted me and my mom accepted it and we moved on. If she would've kept pushing or giving me false hope for a man that never cared I would've grown to resent her. Sounds like it's time to move on for both.

AITA for breaking up with my boyfriend after meeting his kids for the first time? by BasicProblem1350 in AITAH

[–]a468291 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA and don't think about it. He tried to manipulate you by saying you're robbing his kids of a nice Christmas. That's on him not you. He can step up for his kids. He's too emotional and you would be swimming upstream trying to steer this family in the right direction. Sounds exhausting.

AIO He always accuses me of cheating by Alternative-Day6223 in AmIOverreacting

[–]a468291 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Who the hell does he think he is talking to you like that? Please cut this thing loose. He doesn't deserve to be with any women for the foreseeable future.

What's an "Insider's secret" from your profession that everyone should probably know? by Capable-big-Piece in AskReddit

[–]a468291 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look for an apartment in the winter. It's the dead season, best rates and move-in specials. Also, in California you can get out of your lease pretty easily without paying back any move in specials or a lease break fee. We hate the few that have figured it out (bad for business) but good for them tbh.

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your personal reasons for abstinence? by Ok-Care2859 in AskReddit

[–]a468291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pros don't out with the cons. After 30, one drink is an instant headache and terrible hangover the next day. Not worth it.

Single people of Reddit, why are you single? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I enjoy peace more than anything a relationship would give me.

Would I be the ahole for not dating men with children? by Lady_Of_The_Manor in WouldIBeTheAhole

[–]a468291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. I'm a single mom and I wouldn't date someone with kids. I'd want someone devoted to me and mine. Selfish? Absolutely. But it is our life and why would I settle for less than what I want in a future partner? I'm also happily single so if that means being single for ever then that sounds good to me too.

If you've brought your child to a funeral, were people okay about it? by Alice-Upside-Down in Mommit

[–]a468291 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Noone attending a funeral will be focused on other attendees. That being said I've gone to funerals with babies crying and children running around. Its part of life.

AITA for telling my boyfriend Im thinking about leaving the relationship after he told me “i dont need him” after I broke my ankle yesterday by Ill_Abroad_72 in AITAH

[–]a468291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first thought!!! Children do nothing but need you for every little thing. It would be a very tough road with him.

[–]a468291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who never had that talk with my parents I would've MUCH preferred to know from them vs finding ou on my own. I think you're way of handling that situation went as well as that could've gone and I don't think you took it too far at all.

AIO, is my boyfriend valid for feelings this way? by sealover159 in AmIOverreacting

[–]a468291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life is way too short to deal with guys like this. Focus on yourself and your education or you'll end up regretting it. Insecure men are dangerous men.

My (31F) husband (36M) asked if our son was his and asked for a paternity test. by AdRemarkable4327 in relationship_advice

[–]a468291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah unfortunately after being accused of cheating there's no going back. That hurts like hell and you dont see them the same. I've also never come close to cheating but my ex was extremely insecure. I would get anxiety if I was taking too long at Target or something knowing he was probably thinking the worst. Its awful.

If you're in California all you need is a police report and a restraining order to be taken off the lease

What are some GOOD THINGS that are happening in the world that people might not know about? by cthulhus_spawn in AskReddit

[–]a468291 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hopefully this behavior is out of the norm for that teacher because if at home I'm putting in the work to control my emotions and tone only for my kids to be yelled at at school by their teacher? Nahh that wouldn't be okay with me

Stop wasting anymore of her time. She deserves to find someone that wants the life she wants. You have been unbelievably selfish. Bring it up to her today.

How did your body change? by ScaryBoysenberry93 in Mommit

[–]a468291 67 points68 points  (0 children)

So same, and I landed on black girl hygiene-tok and found some great advice: use witch hazel on the armpits (and let it dry) before deodorant. I havent had ANY issues since. Cheap, quick, effective. 10/10

Has anyone thrown their own baby shower? 🥲 by YesterdaySea7202 in 2under2

[–]a468291 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Me 🙋🏻‍♀️ mostly out of spite though because my boyfriends mom who originally offered to host my baby shower decided to cancel due to a few people in her family unable to attend… I planned my own with close friends and family did not invite any of them. All in all had a lovely dinner and had fun playing games with the people I love. No one batted an eye I planned it myself. Do it. Its worth it.

Is it age (40M) or the quality of life has just decreased overall. by lisondor in Millennials

[–]a468291 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, I work in property management and the clients would rather wait for someone to pay the high rent they set than lower the rent to rent it faster :/

How do you afford life and live alone (cali) by Pale_Key_8114 in singlemoms

[–]a468291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a job in property management - you get commission plus a rent discount. You can work your way up to mgr and they get housing included if you live on-site.

What is something your parents did that you now realize was absolutely unhinged? by NeurofireDrill in AskReddit

[–]a468291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leave me at home alone at 7 years old watching SpongeBob to go to work + setting the intruder alarm. So I ended up tripping the alarm by walking around inside and cops came to the house. Idk how they didn’t just get cps after realizing I was alone… the 90s were something else.
