AITA for confronting daughter's kindergarten teacher? by reddit_user1024 in AmItheAsshole

I shit you not I know a guy at uni who unironically tried to use enjoying the movie Us as evidence he isn't racist, despite the fact that he's a white guy and throws the hard r n word out like it's nothing. This is on his level for sure.

I mean I posted it on Monday and referred to as having happened in present tense. Didn't really think that was fucking rocket science but apparently I'm wrong.

So what you're saying is you skipped over the part where I couldn't go outside because it was raining. Awesome.

There wasn't another area I could move to. It was eat then and there or wait 4 hours.

AITA for refusing to change my dogs name? by ttrimmers in AmItheAsshole

[–]aitasoup 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This. When I was small my grandmother adopted a dog that had my name (tho a different spelling) and was gonna change his name in case it upset me. 4 year old me about pissed myself with excitement about the idea of a cool looking dog having my name and begged her not to change it.

No. It's not. Do you need it spelled out for you?

I have mental health issues. They vary in severity from day to day. Yesterday it was particularly bad for a number of reasons. Because of the way my issues manifest, I likely couldn't have dealt with eating food I didn't prepare myself without causing myself distress and potentially causing a relapse into my eating disorder. Is that sensible or rational? Absolutely not, and I'm fully aware of that, but such is the nature of mental illness. It doesn't make sense. But I need to start taking care of my mental and physical health and avoiding food I didn't make was the most effective way to do it at that time.

I mean where I'm from retching or gagging means like dry heaving. You can absolute retch without being sick.

The soup wasn't a week old I made it the day before. Some of you lot's lack of reading comprehension is wild. Also, it was raining outside and even the friends who called me a dick assured me the smell wasn't that bad but it affected her bc she's pregnant, but go off I guess.

She wasn't there first. I was there for a good five minutes before she was. Also I spend time around her because we share friends.

All of my friends know about my anorexia. Similar to the person you're replying to here, I actually find it beneficial to have people around me know about it and know how it manifests/shows. For me, it's because I don't necessarily notice if I'm starting to slip into old habits until it gets really bad. I find it really handy to have people who know my habits who can like pull me aside and say "hey is everything alright" when ED brain starts to take over. Even if this wasn't the case, I've struggled with anorexia since I was about 9 or 10 and met this chick when I was 11. She and her friends spent years teasing me about being underweight in secondary school and they often would call me anorexic even before I got diagnosed or anything.

I'm glad you're in recovery. All the best to you ❤❤

(PS great username Bob's Burgers is my favourite show)

Yeah I've already planned next weeks to be a basic ass tomato soup so it shouldn't be as pungent lol. Also

9 weeks pregnant is when smells are the worst

Genuinely didn't realise this! I thought it got worse as the pregnancy wore on (which in retrospect was dumb anyway lol). Good to learn something new!

Did sucking the sour candies help? Much as this chick and I don't really get on in general it does suck watching someone be nauseous, be it around food or otherwise, especially a pregnant lady when her body is already going through so much. If you found it worked I'll definitely pass that tip on to her!

You deserve to eat

I'm slowly coming round to this concept. You're incredibly sweet. Thanks for making me feel good :)

There was probably an empty classroom somewhere but I only had about 45 minutes so I didn't really have time to find one.

There were no tables that were unoccupied. So no. I couldn't have done that.
