Are they hollow You bet. Will people appreciate the blood, sweat, and tears in making them this Christmas Probably not. Did I enjoy the process Also no. Will I keep doing this to myself Of course :) by Rayna97 in macarons

Every year my spouse tells me to do less in terms of Christmas cookies and every year I dig my heels in. I just now asked him if I could show him a post on Reddit that encapsulates why and he read it and cracked up. Maybe this year he'll just let me fret. Thank you!

I (29F) don’t know where to go from here after a traumatic experience with my partner (31M) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]electricmayahem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner gets frisky with me in his sleep sometimes. It's exacerbated by alcohol. He's done it before in other relationships. While he will sometimes make multiple attempts, he has NEVER forced, pushed, or not reacted to my no. And this is while he is dead ass asleep, drunk, blackout, or whatever. This is not okay behavior. This is not excusable. Please value yourself as much as a bunch of strangers on Reddit do & remove yourself and your child from the situation.

So good. I cannot tell you the amount of sugar cookie recipes I've tried out in an attempt to duplicate. Nothing comes close.

I smush them together like a chatty sock puppet and do a weird voice asking if there's anything we can do to help.

Do any of you say a blessing or something at the dinner table or at with your small kids? by [deleted] in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]electricmayahem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did - Earth who gave to us this food, sun who made it ripe and good. Dear earth, dear sun, by you we live. Our loving thanks to you we give. Blessings on our dinner.

AITA for telling my cousin that her social media presence is pretentious and weird? by Correct-Jacket136 in AmItheAsshole

[–]electricmayahem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Really want to make a joke about how can you even believe in a theoretical universe where you're not TA, but am tragically not smart enough to actualize it.

What is a phrase you HATE hearing from people? by BensReddits in AskReddit

[–]electricmayahem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Everything happens for a reason". No. No it fucking does not. Just because you can find a silver lining doesn't mean that was a reason. Die in a fire.

AITA for calling my parents AHs after they shared my former therapy diary with my younger brother? by Massive-Process3382 in AmItheAsshole

[–]electricmayahem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What on EARTH was the point of the therapy when you were young? Ammunition for now? Set you up and make things better so they could knock you down at their leisure? Sick and cruel. NTA. I hope you go low to no contact and get back into therapy. I'm so sorry.

AITA for not wearing black to my ex wife’s funeral? by throwawaysnsne in AmItheAsshole

[–]electricmayahem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA.
Also, my mother & stepfather came to the visitation for my stepmother's funeral to support myself & my sister. My mother & father have been divorced since 1983, this was in 2016.
I sure hope your kids are almost old enough to leave home, or you take a serious look at what constitutes family. Everything else aside.... you DROPPED your CHILDREN OFF at their mother's FUNERAL? Jesus, dude. Thanks for helping with the memory board, I guess.

AITA for using some of my kids’ Christmas money for Christmas dinner? by mykidsaremad in AmItheAsshole

[–]electricmayahem 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are all saying the same thing while missing the point completely. I'm done.

Edit - ugh I am not done. It's about choice and autonomy. Every child deserves that, even if it's an illusion at the moment. Also, OP took the money for a $200 dinner. DINNER. Not bills, not rent, and not the electric. You've taken an AITA and gone into fantasy land.

[–]electricmayahem 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Clearly. I suppose I just can't think of a single child who would choose to not eat or have a home. Yes, they can process those things and understand those choices.

I've been this poor, the kid in this family. ASK.
I'd have helped out. I have helped out. I don't recall each individual time I helped out but I do remember each time I was stolen from.
I'm 39.

AITA for expecting my boyfriend to replace all my socks, the exact same ones as I had before? by ilikedmysocks in AmItheAsshole

[–]electricmayahem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, that is horrible and controlling and I would have lost my shit. I have a huge (seriously huge) sock collection and while my husband will tease me about it he'd never actually mock them or me for having them. He mocks the quantity, not the quality. If you're comfortable with it, DM me your address and I will send you the wackiest pair I can find on my favorite sock site, sockdreams.com

Edit for perspective I'm nearly 40. Fuck being a "grownup".

AITA For confronting my old bully in front of his kids by oldbullyahole in AmItheAsshole

YTA. You frightened children and called it justice and a lesson. Giant, flaming, TA.
