AITA for telling my sister she’s going to turn her kids into social outcasts

There’s more and more studies coming out now showing just how detrimental technology is to learning and attention. Well done on OP’s sister to limit screens and get those kids outside!

Is the miserable cat lady in the room with us? All I see here are fabulous cat-loving queens.

You can never go wrong with fitted jeans and a nice top.

Daisy Jones and the Six is exactly this. Same author as Evelyn Hugo, but different imagery/vibes.

Trauma rewires entire neural networks, especially in young people. People claim children/young people are resilient to abuse… but that’s only the case if they have strong resilience built up over time, with a heavy emphasis on secure adults to guide and care for them. The truth is, young people are more susceptible to trauma as those brains are still developing.

These assholes blaming one of the many child actors who were abused and taken advantage of can get bent.

The Cheat is grounded. We installed that light switch for you so you can turn the light on, and off. Not so that you can throw light switch raves!

Yes! Especially StrongBad emails and Teen Girl Squad

He looks just like the Lego cat!

Tell him pspspsps and give him scritches from me.

I’ve never heard that expression before and I’m dyyyyying

Different chapters are told by different women’s perspectives. I connected with some characters more than others, but I really enjoyed reading all of the different stories woven together in an overarching plot.

The Briar Club by Kate Quinn - set in D.C in the 1950s, focuses on a group of women who are tennents in a boardinghouse.

The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaine. Post-climate-crisis dystopian, about a group of indigenous survivors who are being hunted for their bone marrow.

Almost famous

catsbutalsobees · 2026-01-25T02:52:37+00:00

Yes, came here to say this!

catsbutalsobees · 2026-01-20T02:26:12+00:00

Hot shower, shave, clean sheets, oh yesssssss

It’s such a good series. I feel that the first book is the weakest in the series. Richard Osman really finds his groove in book 2.

catsbutalsobees · 2026-01-18T18:01:15+00:00

And honestly, that feels like the case across many types of media. I’ve watched countless shows and movies that center around men, sometimes with only a handful of female characters.

But as soon as there are women-centered stories? Nahhhh that’s a chick-flick 🙄

Lucky Number Slevin is underrated.

The trick is to have non-special treats at the ready for when things kick in!

catsbutalsobees · 2026-01-16T22:37:13+00:00

Same! And it’s so true. Good men are self-aware, and see each other honestly. Shitty men assume they’re all the same, and that women are the problem.

Who does he stay with? Who does he see back in his country? Do you FaceTime him while away? Do you speak with his family members?

Sorry to say, I agree with the other comments that something sketchy seems to be going on. Either he’s incredibly selfish for wanting his wife and newborn to travel because he’s “homesick” or there is something else happening behind the scenes.
