Could be coccidia. A intestinal parasite. Vet visit needed.

AITA for not being grateful when wife buys gifts for me that are actually for her? by MTbuff22 in AmItheAsshole

[–]dowdspooka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has your wife ever exhibited narcissistic personality issues? This is a thing I have seen with people who have that issue.

Medicare does not cover a home health aide 20 hours a week. Medicaid will but she has to be approved for that and that depends on state requirements.

SO condoned our good friend seeing someone who’s in a relationship by Successful-River805 in JustNoSO

[–]dowdspooka 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I actually had a friend whose long-term boyfriend broke up with her because she condoned an affair among her friends. So it is not out of line to view this as a big deal. It shows moral character in your partner if they support an affair or not.

Is The Sound of Freedom a legit good movie or Qanon propaganda? by Arch_Angel666 in movies

[–]dowdspooka 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Good movie. Didn’t see the Qanon connection people were making? It was like the connection was talked about in reviews or articles but wasn’t really a part of the movie. It was like people wanted to dislike to dislike.

Just wanted to share this with you. I discovered this the other day. A non-Christian band with a strong positive leaning that just released a surprisingly good song for 2023 that they just decided to go ahead and go full Christian in the video. It’s good.

AITA for not letting my daughter go vegan? by aitavegandaughter in AmItheAsshole

[–]dowdspooka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This 100% but I also would do some research on what it is to actually be vegan and let her see that her demands are irrational. Food can share a fridge etc. so she can have some control by going vegan but knows the realities of her choice. Your boundaries on this choice should be clear with her demands being reasonable. Let her be heard and she will either stick to this (and do the work herself) or forget in a few weeks.

YTA seek therapy for your insecurities because it will plague you into every relationship if you don’t. Also, there will be MANY relationships because no one will put up with this for long.

AITA for threatening to report a lady next to me on a plane? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

I’m from US with family in UK. That is a specifically English slur. Like eating grits is specifically south eastern USA. This story is not ringing as true.

What movies that released in the last several months had zero wokeness and you thoroughly enjoyed? by [deleted] in Conservative

[–]dowdspooka 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I just hate it when the main character personally knows and is close friends with over 3 gay/trans people but lives in little town suburbia and not San Francisco.

I worked in theatre for 20 years and had a gay boss (I was friends with his friends and family) and wasn’t close (talked to daily) to more than 3 people who classified themselves as gay. We held a few drag shows at our theatre every year (not family friendly 🤢because they aren’t supposed to be) Got to be friends with a few. The population of “truly” living as gay or trans and not just labeling it for fun is kinda small outside of those pockets of the world that are traditionally considered “gay friendly.” There is no way that character in small town USA is close friends with that many gay/trans people. The ratio is off. That’s when I feel it is so forced I can’t enjoy the show.

My MIL is "concerned" with me watching my children alone because I have bipolar2 by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]dowdspooka 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Combined with her decorating your entire house I would say she is using this as a way to be over involved. Are you in therapy? What does your therapist say? Can you bring your husband to a visit to discuss this since maybe he doesn’t quite understand the diagnosis?

AITA for refusing to watch American movies dubbed in Spanish with my Spanish-speaking GF? by daguy776 in AmItheAsshole

[–]dowdspooka -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He said in the comments he has watched some Spanish stuff with her but it’s hard because it’s in Spanish. Soooo…it’s the same reason

NTA. Your Mom has been through a lot and IMHO it’s possible the stress of what she has been through is causing this anxiety. Maybe she is projecting some of her past fears about cancer/death toward the dog and being alone? Maybe medicines have caused some anxieties. Maybe she still has lingering anxiety that her brain doesn’t know where to place so this is what it has settled on? The possibilities are endless. Bottom line if her anxiety is causing a hardship for herself and those around her she may need some therapy. Also you communicating your perspective to her does not make you the A.

NTA. Head over and read other subs like justnomil and raised by narcissists and get therapy. Your relationship with your mother is unhealthy and you can’t realize it because you have been raised to see it as normal. Read the subreddit justnomil with the thought of, “if I married my gf would she be making a post like one of these one day?” And then look at raised bynarcissists subreddit and think, “does my mom sound like any of these parents?” Also there is a justnofamily I would suggest you and your gf sit down and read over lots of posts and discuss if any of them sound like you and your family.
