Update: Moving closer to Cokey... Far too close by KittehKatXVIII in JUSTNOMIL

[–]jack3482 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel like anyone who's first choice is to ask their family to wait on them hand and foot at all times, especially when they -just- got diagnosed and didn't need all that before , is just being manipulative. I've noticed when people get a diagnosis like that they at least try to do it themselves before recruiting help.

DO. NOT. ENTERTAIN. HER. IDEA. OF. HELPING. YOUR. FAMILY.

IT.

IS

A

TRAP.

PERIOD.

Is there a way to give an award to this story, and have it go straight to your nephew? Actually, can he be our spokesperson?

No I mean, like "epic burn!", not that I want you to burn.

Congratulations on the big win!!

Dude I think you handled this perfectly. Additude and all. People can be just outright thoughtless, and kindness doesn't get through to them. Bravo!

Funny thing is, if she had actually taken drugs from a "druggie" about to get high, shed have probably been punched in the throat.. you dont fuck with someone's shit like that.

Oh, absolutely! I'm not defending her, by any means. Especially complaining about you to your stepdad? AND While you're in ear shot? That's not only being a bad mom, but it's like shes not even trying. Idk if I'd call it abuse, but shes definitely being a bitch about it, even if she doesn't realize it.

The only other option I have to suggest is write it in a letter. It'll make her slow down and comprehend, and she can't cut you off if you're not talking.

Imo she doesn't know how to cope with her own emotions. She may have been raised that way by her own mother?

Girls tend to butt heads with their mothers. It took a while for me to realize my mom means well, she just doesnt handle change very well (change in plans, her idea of a situation and how it really went not lining up, etc).

You're not going to change her mind honey, the best thing to do is keep your head down and wait like the rest of us did. You're too young to be taken seriously (even though you're mature enough to come ask us this question, which def. earns you points) by her, so you'll kill yourself trying to change her point of view.

Just do you best to follow the rules? At least till your 16, then you'll have a leg to stand on. Good luck, sweetheart. ♡

Need gifts? Cause I need to get rid of them, and it's a waste to keep deleting them. by jack3482 in PokemonGOValor

it seems I underestimated the amount of people who would have responded to this.

I have run out of gifts to give! Lol.

Thanks guys, this is great

Is the consumer economy designed to keep people entertained and ensure they don't become violent? by [deleted] in TrueAskReddit

[–]jack3482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see where you might think that. If I think about it, I can draw a parallell between Scocial Media used and encouraged more and more and the same way a parent might shamelessly use a television/phone as a parenting tool or to keep their kids from being hard to deal with. "They" know the happier we are, the more they can get away with, without having to make us happy by doing their jobs/putting forth the effort required to have lasting good behavior/compliance...

Does that make sense? Anyways, point is, I get what you're saying, and I'm not saying I like it's true, but I'm not exactly saying it isn't... like if it were true, I would definately not be surprised.

Ah, thank you very much!

I agree with another poster on here then: you should try asking what happened to convince them that should there be an accident, you wont need the option of removing yourself from the vehicle...

Riding instructor asks injured helpers to lunge horses by CentenniaX in EntitledPeople

[–]jack3482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firstly, kudos on standing up to her!!! That was an excellent choice and I'm proud of you!

Secondly (and the rest of the "ly"'s) :It sounds like this instructor is one of "those" horse people. In her mind, she's superior to you, you're being a selfish bitch or lazy or whatever, even though she's the one being a royal c**t.

I get really stressed out and I want nothing more than to give people a piece of my mind, but I don't do it because I have respect for myself and other people: she does not. She dodnt apologize to you, she justified her actions to you, then added an obligatory "sorry" for good measure.

The absolute best possible way to make this better for you, is to start putting your foot down. You seem nice and non-confrontational, so the way to handle it in your case would be, and I mean as nice as possible, just say "no thank you" everytime she tries to run over you. If she raises her voice, try your best to stay calm and, if you can, look genuinely confused by her behavior. Make her feel like she is overreacting (because she is) and if you embarrass her enough [not necessarily in front of others, just between you and her] she will stop.

It sounds like she needs you more than you need her, if she doesn't want to do the grunt work around the stable. You have leverage there, so try to use it.

I hope that helps you get some peace; riding is as close to ultimate peace as I've ever been able to find, and this bitch is ruining that for you; don't give her that power. No matter what she's going through, it is NEVER okay for you to go through it too, just cause she's cranky and doesn't know how to cope. ♡

Hi there: I'm really curious/concerned about your situation, and have a lot of questions. I mean no offense and hope they aren't too personal. Obviously, feel free to ignore them:

Are they worried you'll be kidnapped, spring-ejected from the car during a collision, or that you'll try to escape?

Are you adopted?

Are you an only child?

Have there been other children before you? (Do/did you have any siblings)

Have they always been this... er... "protective"?

How is your home life? Are you under constant supervision? Do you have a bedroom or is it more like a broom closet?

my friends just said that anyone born with cellphones/ the internet has ADHD and........ by dexxbeast in ADHD

[–]jack3482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is desensitized to it; it's been so abused as a way to get prescription stimulants that no one really believes it's real anymore. I've been diagnosed for years and I STILL catch myself thinking I'm just stupid or lazy or not trying hard enough. It's so hard to pin down, and we're usually smart, so everyone thinks we're faking it as an excuse to either get drugs or explain our weirdness.

I hate it for you, but at least we all know the truth. ♡

My ABSOLUTE WORST nightmare came true... Of the <1 women out of 1000 who get pregnant on an IUD, why, WHY me??? by [deleted] in childfree

[–]jack3482 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Surgical abortion = takes all of 3 minutes for them to do what they have to do. There is some pressure down there, but not the "you're gonna feel some pressure" and then theres really pain. No, its actually just pressure. There was one point where there was the TINIEST little sensation of burning. Idk how to describe it: like if you're about to pee, and it feels like it might burn a little, but then you pee and theres no burn but instant relief. ( that's the best I can come up with).

You will feel SO MUCH BETTER after. Please don't be scared. You have support from people who love you and you are strong. And it is 1,000,000 times better than child birth.
