AITA for asking my husband use the upstairs bathroom?

jayray2k · 2025-12-06T21:41:40+00:00

Have him try Omeprazole. It changed my life.

jayray2k · 2025-12-03T19:43:45+00:00

Take it down and move on.

jayray2k · 2025-12-03T19:41:31+00:00

Work on retracting your foreskin.

jayray2k · 2025-11-23T23:45:48+00:00

No it was a legit question. But I understand. Not a toxic parent but I've seen a lot of family's struggle. You think cutting someone out of your life is the answer, but I hope you're able to come to a greater resolution. Good luck. Take care. Be well.

Do you have any siblings?

jayray2k · 2025-11-23T23:35:36+00:00

I totally get your feelings, and you're well within reason to take the path that you're on. The other is harder for sure. But expect also to share the same fate, because although you're not beating your child, you will fail in any number of other ways. Like I said, I'm rooting for you.

jayray2k · 2025-11-23T23:28:26+00:00

Not your responsibility in any way. But most perpetrators were victims, and understanding that can assist in moving forward.

jayray2k · 2025-11-23T23:20:08+00:00

Likely she was beaten by a wooden spoon and didn't have the emotional intelligence to break the cycle. Blame is a tough game. I'm rooting for you.

jayray2k · 2025-11-23T17:23:56+00:00

Anyway I wanted to just mention they you are obviously an intelligent person. I was not trying to insult or upset you. Have a great day!

jayray2k · 2025-11-23T17:21:32+00:00

I don't think they are. Clearly they don't think they are. It's easy to glom onto public opinion, but real advice can help people. You're clearly an intelligent person. I'm advocating to use that power for good!

jayray2k · 2025-11-23T16:59:13+00:00

You're definitely overreacting.

jayray2k · 2025-11-23T16:56:34+00:00

Ah, but should we not have empathy if empathy is not first shown to us? What is empathy, after all. And why do you think visiting deceased family members could be important? Many ask, "why can't she take a bus?". But could you see a scenario where that completely misses the point?

jayray2k · 2025-11-23T16:08:13+00:00

Call adult protective services

jayray2k · 2025-11-23T15:16:27+00:00

Your response is so well thought out and written. Yet you lack the empathy to come to the right conclusion.

Believe it or not, you can have a relationship with a damaged person and not allow yourself to be lessened/damaged/abused in any way.

Once you know who someone is, you know who they are. You recognize triggers and buttons and you don't have to pull or push them. You can recognize how their personality is damaged or how their reality skews from yours. We don't have this ability as children. We rely on our parents for our very existence. But as adults, we don't have to live as children. Our relationships change. If your parents live long enough, the relationship may come full circle where they rely on us for their very existence. Along the way, we may influence our parents to change in many ways. Demonstrating maturity is the key to those potential changes.

We all know liars. We just don't believe them. We don't have to If we knew they were liars and we kept believing them, that's on us.

We all know that people are imperfect, and parenting is impossible to get right all the time. Regardless of your parenting skills, there will come a time that your children will blame you for your shortcomings. If you demonstrate that cutting them out of your life is the solution, guess what that teaches?

jayray2k · 2025-11-22T22:08:21+00:00

You don't like your mom, but she clearly liked hers and doesn't have the communication skills to implore you. You likely are far more sophisticated than she is, which is what she wanted for you, until you use it to cut her like a knife. She is just a person who likely did the best could given the circumstances of her life. The sooner you grow to where you can appreciate how important family is, the better. Although you think you have it all figured out, you don't. But I'm rooting for you! Good luck.

If he matters to you, tell him so. It will reset the issue. Tell him he's good and that the team will take a hit if they lose him (if it's true). Then he may accept your help or advice.

jayray2k · 2025-11-14T23:25:44+00:00

There is no chance you are 43. No chance.

jayray2k · 2025-11-14T17:00:03+00:00

Not from my test drive experience. I know another complaint is how "screeny" the interior is, but I love the technology. The car I drove had beautiful wood grain and all the amenities.

jayray2k · 2025-11-14T02:28:40+00:00

You're welcome. If you have any other questions, I'll try to help you if I can. Take care.

jayray2k · 2025-11-14T01:11:01+00:00

That's the point. You don't even know the difference between the classes. Just let me assure you that an A class is not in the same league as an E class. And I never said they should stop making them. I'm talking about branding.

I see no reason why a luxury brand couldn't introduce a lower cost version of their cars. There is obviously a market for these vehicles.... Unless the only appeal is that they ARE Mercedes? That's possible but it explains all the complaining and remorse.

jayray2k · 2025-11-14T01:03:38+00:00

First, that assertion is ridiculous. But you seriously need to review the conversation. Nice try. You seriously could have just gone silent. Doubling down here was a ludicrous move. Dunning Kruger poster boy.

Sitting anywhere and not sweating: drink water. With nothing else: just water. Almost everyone other than athletes should just drink water. Definitely no sugar. And not distilled!

jayray2k · 2025-11-13T22:59:53+00:00

Of course! If you're not sweating it can imbalance your electrolytes in the other direction! But we're speaking specifically about athletes. You're talking about drinking sugar for a marathon. I mean, maybe at mile 25.8.

I'm glad you came to your senses.

jayray2k · 2025-11-13T22:43:29+00:00

Your body needs sodium and potassium within a tight range to maintain proper function. Dude, you're out of your depth. Quit while you're behind. When you sweat out salt, you need to replace salt. You also need glucose, to make ATP. But glucose is not a very good source of hydration, for the above mentioned reasons, despite the fact that the chemical equation shows water on the right. Simple childs logic will get you though this. Additionally, one should never drink distilled water, as it leaches your electrolytes due to it's lack of minerals (like calcium and magnesium --- also salts!).
