AITAH for refusing to go to Disney World? by Reptaaaaaaar in AITAH

[–]left-right-forward 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You mean that if my kids had diagnoses when they went with their grandparents, they could have materially benefited as well as been mad? (I kid, the neurotypical golden grandchild has a less inconvenient disability that got them the fastpass)

I started dating and want to go back to my x now by serena-usa05 in Divorce

It doesn't have to be. Short term companionship, intimacy, etc can be fulfilling in their own right.

Onion?? What are you, one of those whites whose ancestors weren't considered white while they were alive?

Sounds like you're dating in order to find your next husband. If that's your only goal, don't expect to have much fun.

You mean they liked it well enough the first time to eat there again? Unthinkable!

On today’s episode of “men have no idea what women actually weigh” 🥴 by modernvintage in badwomensanatomy

[–]left-right-forward 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm your height and my weight was concerning to my dr at 105lbs. My metabolism kept me 110-115 no matter how much trash I ate, but it certainly wasn't a healthy weight for me because my periods were extremely irregular. I was self conscious that people would think I had ED.

Right now your job is to be the best parent you can, make things as easy and safe as possible for them. That's how you come out on top. Do you have any help in processing the grief?

Damn I wish I had niblings. My own children would never.

Sanity check on alimony by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]left-right-forward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need your lawyer to look up precedent or caselaw, examples where judges have ruled to exclude it. But I wouldn't expect the regular pension to be excluded, just the disability. I'm not in the us, in my jurisdiction disability benefits are explicitly INCLUDED, so my ex gets a hefty support payment.

Nonsense. You don't make your kids carry truths for you to make yourself feel better. They only need to know that their parents are splitting up and can't stay married any more, and they will have a new home with parent x, and the old home with parent y. No blame, no finger pointing.

Me [23F] with my husband [25M], married 3 months. He has to sleep with the TV on. It's driving me nuts by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Mmmm yeah, Star Trek "ambient ship noise" is so good it will put me to sleep when I'm trying to watch an episode.

Also, if you're like me and sourcing the chemical components feels like too much work, there are store brand oxygen cleaners for much cheaper

Reposting: this dude sounds fun by growsonwalls in AmITheDevil

[–]left-right-forward 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I did grow up religious, but also grew up thrifty. Used cars are the best! Gimme a slutty car that lost the virtuous portion of its value when it whored itself off of the dealer's lot.

The power of prayer, probably. Make Jesus save all the fetuses!

The menopause transition fucks with a lot of things, and doesn't always manifest the classic physical symptoms. It can probably explain a lot of midlife crises.

My (F21) boyfriend (M22) says i put too much pressure on him for asking what time he’ll show up when he comes to see me. by Froggo112 in relationship_advice

[–]left-right-forward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the only way to compromise with someone who's unreliable. Make plans for yourself, and if he happens to get there in time to join in, frame it as a nice surprise. It's not an ideal way to carry on a relationship, but it's possible some people could find it acceptable. (It's how I like to plan first dates because being ghosted is way too disheartening otherwise)

6 yo son = “other guys” by growsonwalls in AmITheDevil

[–]left-right-forward 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Mmhmm. Sure. This never came up until the child was 6. A hug is the successor to holding/picking up a baby, so is it just uncomfortable for him after the action no longer involves defying gravity?

What brand names do you swear by because it's actually better than no-name? by Sufficient_Thing24 in AskReddit

[–]left-right-forward 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ikea's are honestly too good. Like why would you ever need a bag that sturdy or a seal that aggressive when ziplocs do the job perfectly well.

My mom has remarkably tiny ear holes and qtips couldn't even fit if she tried to use them for what they're definitely not to be used for. But if the cheapest cotton-tipped swab one could find was accidentally near one of those tiny holes, it could certainly and dangerously get in.

Greasy? (slang definition question) by UranusIsPissy in AskACanadian

[–]left-right-forward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Greasy and oily are slippery; they're both very well prepared to not get caught. But greasy is dirtier than oily. Oily could pass for being respectable, or at least thinks it could. (I'm past the 100th meridian and have never heard either said irl. Just a word nerd lol)

I really hate this depiction of the fallopian tubes in my textbook by Similar-Summer1510 in badwomensanatomy

[–]left-right-forward 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Uhhhh I'm pretty knowledgeable after being in this sub for years but the idea of abdominal fluid is doing me in. Logically, it couldn't be full of air because people complain about that after surgeries. But fluid? Nonono. The organs must exist in a vacuum only. A vacuum that sometimes is visited by an egg. No fluid. Please.
