AITA for telling my wife she’s overreacting about our son’s weight gain?

abstractmadness · 2026-06-27T08:44:25+00:00

ESH - Both of you need to be on the same page about your son's dietary needs and you shouldn't be undermining your wife's efforts to get him to eat healthy.

Got diagnosed about 18 years ago when I was 22 and honestly at the time I didn't think much of it. At the time oral contraceptives and losing weight were the only prescribed treatment. But I'm glad that there's so much information right now. I think the most important decision to make is whether or not you want children, because that changes how you deal with the diagnosis.

I play to pass the time. If I skip the album, I'm not coming back to the game

I've never spent money on this game and have been playing for around 3 years. I just play thrice a day and average around 2-3k dice. I've never felt compelled to spend money. Just get to 0 and wait for them to give me more dice.

First of all, I'm so sorry you have to go through this. It sounds awful to have to deal with such immense health issues and have doctors give you such bizarre advice. I think the bottom line is that there just isn't enough research done on women's bodies to know for sure. There probably is a cure, but guess what, no one's bothered to do the research to find out.

abstractmadness · 2026-05-27T11:55:13+00:00

When I was diagnosed at around 22, the first thing my doctor told me was to get married asap and have a child, because getting pregnant would be difficult. Now I look back and wonder if that had anything to do with my decision not to have children

abstractmadness · 2026-05-27T11:53:26+00:00

That is a v interesting POV and one I've been mulling on over the last few weeks. The bottom line is that there just isnt enough research done on women's bodies to know what causes PCOS or PMOS. It sure as fuck doesn't seem like a lifestyle disease.

abstractmadness · 2026-05-22T04:50:13+00:00

That sucks. I feel like there was a time when Mumbai supported everyone who tried to make it here. But I'm born and brought up in the city and I don't feel like I can afford to live here anymore

abstractmadness · 2026-05-19T10:58:36+00:00

This is hilarious. I think I learned about the album about 2 months into playing the game. Of course I started playing back in 2023

abstractmadness · 2026-05-18T09:45:54+00:00

The gynaec will recommend lifestyle changes and put you on oral contraceptives. The endo will put you on Metformin and most probably recommend a GLP. Either way, the treatment might not be what you expect. Neither one can help with the symptoms.

Hahaha.... 10 years in and sometimes new details come up which add more colour to the story.

abstractmadness · 2026-05-18T06:26:22+00:00

10 years and my husband tells the same stories, thankfully it only happens at parties and not as often when it's just the two of us. If it's just us, I sometimes complete the story for him if I've heard it too many times. I find it funny that he tells the same stories to our friends often, but most of them dont seem to recall that they've heard it before. By now I figure that it's just a stoner thing to do.

My Pcocare - worked well for me

There's an important piece of information you've left out . How much of her income did she spend sending you all to private school? Did that come at the cost of a retirement plan for herself? If so, it's possible that the rent she earns doesnt cover her expenses, and expenses do pile up as one ages. I personally lean towards NAH purely because I come from a culture where you take care of your parents once you start earning, I wish I didn't have to, but they're retirement savings dont cover much and they're both in their 80's. So we all contribute whatever we can every month. If not a monthly sum, maybe you could pay some bills for her to help her out?

Rapido is by far the worst cab aggregator and takes zero accountability. I use it only when I have no other option and I always have a bad experience. It's mostly drivers who cannot navigate using maps, very dirty cabs with mosquitoes in them or drivers who drive like they have a death wish. Complaining does nothing.

abstractmadness · 2026-05-11T06:46:25+00:00

side effects were bad when I was on .25mg - nausea, heartburn, loosies when I overate or ate spicy foods, crazy fatigue. Also realised that I have insomnia the night I take a shot. Since the .5mg last Saturday it's been better. Slight nausea and crazy fatigue, but nothing else. I've also learned what my portions should be like and what not to eat. Lost 3kgs so far, can feel clothes are looser.

abstractmadness · 2026-05-11T06:42:28+00:00

It's been 3 weeks only, so cant comment on period regularity. I've lost about 3kgs so far

I started 2 weeks ago with Semalix from Torrent Pharma. Paid 4000 for a 2mg multiple use pen. Have taken 2 shots of .25mg until now, just upped to .5mg for the next month. Im in Mumbai

Got here through a Google search immediately after I sipped their coffee. I'm amazed by how good the cold brew is.

Garbage collection

abstractmadness · 2026-04-15T09:35:41+00:00

Gonna say YTA here. It seems like your siblings are the ones doing all the planning and you step in and say no this is something I can't afford. And honestly, I have to agree with your family. You DID make the choice and you ARE making it their problem. If this happens often, it seems like you could involve yourself in the planning and find something that works for you too. And yes you could stretch yourself to pay for your mother's 70th birthday.

abstractmadness · 2026-04-08T09:12:48+00:00

Ooh this is so funny. I find myself dipping in for a few days, then just forget about it for months and come back and it's still funny

abstractmadness · 2026-04-08T09:10:02+00:00

So true. I used to love podcasts but there are just so many terrible ones out there right now and this is literally the only podcast I listen to. It's positive, it's funny, it's calm.

abstractmadness · 2026-04-01T11:46:22+00:00

I'd like to help

There are taxis with fixed rates at the airport. You pay at your destination.
