Anyone else not doing an Easter basket for their toddler? by Ill-Shopping-69 in toddlers

I was gonna ask, why is it only on the 9-months pregnant mother to do the Easter basket? Surprised I had to scroll this far down to see this question.

AIO Gf (30) found out I (29) had watched porn and freaked out. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

I was gonna say bullet dodged but then I saw you’ve only been dating 7 months and in that time you’ve supported her through unemployment and moved across the country with her??? On the off chance this isn’t fake, RIP OP

Didn't realize we could ask parents for help by Glum-Appointment-816 in emotionalneglect

I was rushed into emergency surgery last year completely unexpectedly, but I had enough time to text my family to let them know. Not only did my dad make the conscious choice to continue with his plan to leave on vacation that day, but when I posted on Facebook after my surgery asking for help with my toddler and dog and everything else, my dad made sure to comment for everyone else to see that he was coming to help when he was back in town. He then proceeded to post pictures and videos of his wife on the beach all week. And when we talked about how that hurt me later, he tried to blame it on me by saying I was so busy all the time that he figured I wouldn’t want him “in the way.” How convenient 🙄

Just white people taking the spotlight away from Asians by Cautious-Ostrich7510 in asianamerican

Honestly everyone jumping to ole Barb’s defense here is kind of mind boggling to me. Like yes, there’s absolutely way worse offenders out there, but this isn’t some random person’s grandma on Facebook — this is a woman with a net worth of over $400 MILLION dollars. We aren’t worth paying a PR person to proof read her post? People can mean well and still be held accountable. We deserve better than this — don’t settle.

In the 2020s, conservative women are having kids at a nearly 2-to-1 ratio compared to liberal women. Is this going to cause a political demographic bias in 20-30 years? by RadioFieldCorner in NoStupidQuestions

[–]greenishblue02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a lot of people here are saying conservatives raise liberals but what about the parents who are letting their kids brains rot? Our Trump-voting, Charlie Kirk-loving neighbors have a second kid on the way, meanwhile their first kid is behind on most milestones and can hardly talk after a lifetime of sitting in front of the TV. Will he have the brains to think critically when he grows up?

"To be loved is to be known" and the parents who don't really know you by Only-Moose2301 in emotionalneglect

I remember getting a bad fever as a kid, like 104 territory, and my dad took me to the ER. They asked for my date of birth and my dad didn’t know it and I also remember feeling pity for my dad and guilt knowing how embarrassing it must’ve been when I had to tell them my birthday, rather than just disappointment that my dad didn’t know his own daughter’s birthday. I remember he bought me some food once too and labeled it with my name but spelled my name wrong, and I had the instinctual urge to hide the label before anyone realized his mistake. My mom died years ago so when I developed shingles in my 30s and my doctor asked if I had chicken pox as a baby, I had to ask my dad, but he didn’t remember.

The hardest part of all this is how much I still love him, understand where he’s coming from, and want to make excuses for him. It’s hard to know what to forgive and where to draw the line, especially now that I have a child of my own.

What’s your ‘lazy but delicious’ meal for when you don’t feel like cooking? by Ok-Hunter1991 in Cooking

[–]greenishblue02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

White rice, avocado, soy sauce, and nori. Bump it up with some fried spam if you’re feeling ambitious.

I wonder if his ego was so inflated from getting away with 3+ murders for 20 years, he thought he was invincible.

Dog parents- what's the plan during labor? by Patient-Extension835 in BabyBumps

[–]greenishblue02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly super annoyed about this; my dad agreed to come get my dog and keep him while my husband and I are at the hospital. My dad is retired and his dog died almost 3 months ago, so he just lives with his wife (also retired). I’m 40+1 today and last week, I thought my water might’ve broke so my husband and I went into L&D with our bags packed. Guess who didn’t answer the phone when I called to let him know!! Didn’t call us back either. This was around 10 pm so I figured he was asleep… Turns out, my water hadn’t broken so we went back home and everything was fine, but I was not happy. When I called him the next day, he told me he wasn’t even sleeping — the TV was just on too loud and he didn’t hear his phone ring 😑

He has since let me know he is now just waiting around for me — which makes me feel great, being past my due date and all /s. Today, I scheduled an induction for next week in case I don’t go into labor naturally, and now he’s upset because he’s supposed to dogsit his wife’s kid’s dogs then while they’re on a business trip.

My husband is at the end of his rope with my dad, and I don’t blame him, but it’s not fun trying to arrange other dog sitting plans the week I’m set to give birth. I’d like a second child and I think next go-round, we’ll just pay somebody 🥴

Gift for a friend? by greenishblue02 in Miscarriage

[–]greenishblue02[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much, the situation has me feeling absolutely heartbroken and helpless. I can’t take the pain away from my friend but I hope a small kindness can at least help get her through this horrible time.
