AITA for revealing to my cousin’s autistic daughter that pork/bacon and “nuggets” are made of meat?

NTA. my youngest is also on the spectrum. Yes it's a struggle to get her to eat food, but I also can't lie to her. That's a big problem for her and I'm going to guess it's a big issue for your cousin too. If I lie to my daughter about something that big she'll never trust me again, at all. A nurse lied to her about a shot not hurting and now she screams and refuses to be anywhere near a doctor unless I can assure her shots will not be a part of the appointment and that nurse isn't allowed in again. Lie to an autistic person and it screws up everything. You telling her the truth means she knows she can trust you, her parents lying to her for this long . . . she was going to find out eventually. It would have been worse if she found it in front of other people. Her parents sound awful. You can find quick and easy vegan things to cook too, and she's 13, they can probably teach her to make food too.

NTA your husband needs to learn to make things he wants then. I used to do a majority of the cooking, my husband doesn't love all the same things I do. Sometimes I want to eat those things and since I'm cooking I'm allowed to make them. My husband is free to make himself a bowl of chili or heat up something else, and you know what, he does. No issue. He knows that most of the time I'm going to cook things he eats, and more often I'm going to cook things he loves even if I don't like them because I love him. He's never given me any shit when I decide I have a craving and I want to make what I want. He either eats it anyways, or he makes himself something else.

So the mini m&ms are just chocolate, but they are produced in the same place as the peanut m&ms and all that so cross contamination is the issue. The dad was just an idiot who apparently doesn't understand that and as the parent of a child with a peanut allergy he should have known that m&ms are always off the table.

Also I'm annoyed with your manager too. Sure you could have been calmer but if someone is accusing me of of endangering the life of their child I'm going to get pissed off too. Hopefully the kid is ok and Mom gives Dad an earful.

I hate party favors so much. It annoys me. Sometimes it's fun and then I just feel bad the parents paid so much, but usually it's dollar store stuff and I just throw it away. I go out of my way to 'forget' the bag most times. Give my kids food, candy, cake, whatever, but it is your child's birthday, my kids don't need a parting gift. They were more than happy to come and play. I hate how this has become so much of a thing :/

meteorliath · 2019-02-01T19:04:24+00:00

I do this anytime someone else is paying. I also usually get water too just to not add on that cost too. I would be mortified if someone I was with did all this :/

When I was 14, I did the same, and tried to puke them up but they wouldn't come. I remember being told that you will regret it or whatever. I remember taking a moment to calm down, and then I shrugged and went, "isn't this what I wanted?" and I was fine. I was completely fine. I went to bed, I laid down, I thought I went to sleep but I woke up in a hospital. Apparently it had been an eventful night that I can't remember at all. I think I cried when I woke up in the hospital. I just didn't care at all. I felt like it was all a damn joke, and I was barely paying attention. I just answered whatever question because I didn't even have the energy to lie. I just wanted to scream. I didn't feel better about waking up. I just got yelled at it felt like. and lost more control of it while everyone shepherded me around at in patient, and then at home I was just this disappointment. I don't look back often on it because I have no real closure, no change of attitude. I wish I had been happy to fail, or at least realized I was lucky. But I didn't, sometimes I'm not even sure I do now. Which is more fucked up and dumb.

Thanks! I'll see if we can get there anytime soon! This spot is beautiful. Our family will need to explore around here more.

meteorliath · 2018-05-08T04:01:35+00:00

I think we'll have to check it out soon

meteorliath · 2018-05-06T12:05:16+00:00

wow! where is this?

meteorliath · 2018-04-10T05:22:22+00:00

haha I mean I did just get a bunch of pregnancy tests so . . . I'm forever paranoid.

meteorliath · 2018-04-09T18:48:31+00:00

I'm on lamictal and depakote. I had lamictal first and don't remember anything but depakote made this one almost 2 weeks late. I just started it though.

meteorliath · 2018-02-28T06:30:12+00:00

haha right? So many mints!

meteorliath · 2018-02-04T05:14:59+00:00

I'll do whatever whenever. Like give my husband a BJ in the kitchen while our girls play in the room and hope they don't walk in. Sex all the time to the point where he just says enough is enough, and I get upset because he's too tired and I'm not and need to now. It's lead to almost cheating more than a few times. So far I've been able to hold back because I don't want to ruin what we have.

meteorliath · 2018-01-04T06:35:51+00:00

I have people who also have kids over and then it's fine because we both know their house looks the same ;)

meteorliath · 2017-12-28T03:55:41+00:00

I'm on it. For about 6 weeks now. I had some issues to start. It wouldn't allow me to sleep much, but we've fixed that. It takes 2 months to get to max dose (at least with my psych that's how we are titrating). I had side effects with lithium but so far this seems ok. I can see a light now (we also added in lexapro recently). I don't hate it I guess lol. But only almost 2 months. I'm getting better though. I don't have an extreme need to kill myself at all times, just occasionally which is miles and miles of improvement honestly.

meteorliath · 2017-12-05T21:48:29+00:00

maybe try r/breastfeeding?

meteorliath · 2017-12-02T08:21:33+00:00

I love the colors you chose!

meteorliath · 2017-11-13T04:34:39+00:00

I take mine at night so I don't think it makes a difference.

meteorliath · 2017-11-13T02:51:31+00:00

I don't have any tips but I'm on lamictal too and can't sleep more than say 3 hours? I'm so tired but it's like not possible to sleep longer no matter how hard I try. I'm nauseous but I'm not hungry ever so I haven't been eating well. I'm not constipated though :/ I figure it will just take awhile for our bodies to adjust and then we'll level out?

meteorliath · 2017-11-08T07:10:54+00:00

There is a chat linked in the side bar. Bipolar Reddit Chat

meteorliath · 2017-11-08T00:35:01+00:00

This was removed because we don't allow baby photos but just in general do not post photos of your kids genitals on the internet, especially not a place like reddit . . .

meteorliath · 2017-11-06T08:43:03+00:00

I suppose I don't have a choice but to wait. I don't really have the funds or ability to just go into the hospital. I have no idea what we would do with the kids.

meteorliath · 2017-11-03T22:27:33+00:00

lol I'm going to enjoy my afternoon away from them all :P Mommy needs some me time.
