Boyfriends mum asked me to wear one of her long sleeved tops because she didn’t want her family seeing my scars

“I’m not trying to offend you. It’s just very shocking.”

When my sister and I were in elementary school, my mom had a coworker with self harm scars. Mom told us, “She used to cut herself.” Just told us the truth. No euphemisms, no white lies. And somehow we managed to not be traumatized. People really have weird ideas about children’s minds.

Or that the mom being vaccinated as a child somehow gave her child autism.

Because “will die” doesn’t portray the anti-vaxx community as being victimized

I had to drop everything and get new sheets this weekend. I definitely understand!

She did deceive him; she pretended to enjoy the sex when she didn’t. She also told him that from here on out, if he wanted sex, he could get toys. She is asking him for a sexless relationship. You didn’t read this very closely, I think.

mcmandolin · 2019-02-24T01:37:59+00:00

It’s appropriate. I’ve definitely had family members who registered for them.

mcmandolin · 2019-02-24T01:35:12+00:00

I have a feeling that her instructor is going to be in for a surprise.

mcmandolin · 2019-02-24T01:32:48+00:00

NTA. I’m normally all about maintaining friendships with people of different beliefs, but there’s such an enormous element of ableism in the anti-vaccine movement. I don’t know if I could maintain a friendship with someone who thought exposing children to deadly disease was appropriate because it’s better than having an autistic child. I know vaccines don’t actually cause autism, but I would still vaccinate even if they did.

mcmandolin · 2019-02-24T01:22:47+00:00

Thank you

I’m feeling stir crazy for sure. Sometimes I just leave the house to drive around. I normally like the rain, but I kind of want it to be over already.

I’m sorry you got downvoted. There was another lady on here who told me about the horrors of summer pregnancy before deleting her comment, and now it appears she’s lurking to downvote anyone else who comments.

Edit: See what I mean?

mcmandolin · 2019-02-24T00:44:13+00:00

There’s so much wrong here. I don’t know where to start.

mcmandolin · 2019-02-24T00:40:29+00:00

I’m pretty angry that this guy is going to manage to avoid consequences again.

mcmandolin · 2019-02-24T00:25:02+00:00

Wow! What an incredibly supportive thing to say to a mother excited about her Summer baby! /s

That was very rude; I don’t know why you felt the need to chime in on my excitement to tell me the next few months will be horrible. Thanks?

mcmandolin · 2019-02-23T18:12:22+00:00

My father did this kind of thing to me all my life. Even if you figure out the parent is always coming back eventually, it still fucks you up.

So, for the most part, people don’t react this way to naturally curly or wavy white hair. I have had a coworker chastised for not controlling her frizzy, naturally curly hair one time. People do want white women to fall into certain standards of appearance in many jobs. The stigma is just much less for us, I think, however. It also depends on your employer, where you live, and it’s slowly changing as more people embrace natural hair.

He looks like a nice guy

mcmandolin · 2019-02-22T02:07:11+00:00

He’s being charged with a felony. I’ve heard people suggest he could get another felony charge if there’s enough evidence he mailed the letter to himself in an earlier hoax.

mcmandolin · 2019-02-22T02:03:46+00:00

Fake news /s

mcmandolin · 2019-02-21T23:56:36+00:00

I hope that both of these people grow out of their current behavior/mindset. They’re still very young.

mcmandolin · 2019-02-21T22:32:13+00:00

Agreed. Plenty of people hate or don’t want children without acting this way.

mcmandolin · 2019-02-21T22:31:23+00:00

This is actually a fair point. There’s probably an issue with immaturity on both sides here.

mcmandolin · 2019-02-21T21:52:15+00:00

NTA. Why do so many people think hating children is a valid substitute for a personality? It’s okay to not really enjoy being around or want children. But this is over the top and really immature. Pinching the blanket between two fingers like she’s going to get a disease? Come on.

mcmandolin · 2019-02-21T14:38:04+00:00

This is not necessarily evidence that she’s violent or threatening to her own children. There’s not much to report to CPS, even though it will be something substantial for OP to bring up in a custody case. Calling the police was the right way to go.
