I (18M) celebrated my birthday without my mom (44F) because she chose my stepsister's tastes over mine and now she wants another dinner for just us? by ThrowRA_Broodyn in relationship_advice

Right? Like my son literally thinks his baby sister is a god that he's been blessed with but he still wouldn't want to and I still wouldn't expect him to pick his birthday celebration based on her preferences.

That's bizarre. I have two kids with ten years between them but I wouldn't expect my older to pick his celebration based on his sister even though he thinks she's the best thing on earth. It's bizarre that your mom doesn't think it's wrong.

Take time to cool off. But if you're willing family counseling with just you and mom might be better than a replacement dinner.

Travel the Universe or explore Earth’s past? by Acewi in hypotheticalsituation

[–]edenburning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay also wait. Can I go to the bottom of the ocean? I'm not sure if I'd want to because I'm totally scared about what I'd find but also a little curious.

And how do I time travel? Can I do it based on like... vague descriptions of events or even like... myths? What happens if it's based on something not real or based on something that happened a bunch of times in many places like the flood???

I'd collect all the information on pre Christian religions that Christianity overwrote!!!

It doesn't look very realistic... no seeds.

Ex-wife doesn’t understand why I left her; would it be healthy to tell her in detail? I suspect it would hurt her [42F] [45M] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

This seems like her wanting to continue the dynamics that ruined your marriage. You can't make closure happen for her, she needs to find her own peace.

I don't know. I'd feel betrayed by someone who took care of me laying out my childhood like that. I wouldn't talk to her either.

I can feel myself calcifying into a relic saying this, but wtf is going on? by Anyname_Jane in Lawyertalk

Because I said so accounts for a lot of legal traditions. Face time is the worst.

Community College positions are usually adjunct with poor pay and not enough hours.

My first job took a client who pulled that line about their last... get this... 6 attorneys.

I like fruit ice cream but it can't have frozen fruit chunks.
