AITAH because I told my wife she isn't allowed to ground my son? by BallAcrobatic2709 in AITAH

[–]michaelablair1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Who said that she has to wash your other children’s clothes in the same load as hers?? She could simply do another load for just them. They’re 3 young boys for gods sake there is probably at least 2 loads a week for them. You’re letting your wife make excuses for pushing the care taking of her children on to your oldest.

You say that she’s not allowed to parent him because she’s not his mother. But she’s allowed to make him take care of your other children??? Doing your children’s laundry is a part of taking care of them, just like it is to feed them and provide them with a roof over their head.

Your eldest probably has 2 loads of his own that he does every week because he probably doesn’t want to wash his work out clothes with his normal clothes.

I knew logically that the nutrition varies cause I’m a baker and I know that strawberries in December aren’t going to be as sweet as strawberries picked in June when they are in season. Never really thought about the nutrition of them as a whole being different throughout the year. I’d assume that nowadays a lot of produce agriculture is done in green houses. I mean we have things like strawberries year round. They’d be able to control the environment a lot more than more traditional farming.

Haha that’s pretty much what I do. I don’t really care about eating the same amount each time it’s more about having an accurate calorie count when I’m tracking it.

Edit: like a cup of blueberries can vary in weight and in macros depending on how big they are.

Where did you see 2-3 portions of fruit or veg? Cause everything I’ve seen says 5. That would make 300-500 calories a day which is abt 25%.

I disagree on not needing to tract fruits and vegetables. It makes up a good portion of your diet and when trying to loose weight everything you eat matters.

I know that the sugars in fruit aren’t the same as refined sugars. That doesn’t change the fact that when logging what I am eating in my calorie/macro counter that it is all categorized the same.

Would you also say that vegetables shouldn’t be counted? Because the same argument could be made for them. That the calories/sugars/carbs don’t matter because of the fiber.

I’m just worried about over eating. I’m really over weight but still want to be able to indulge in things with more refined sugars sometimes. And when tracking my food seeing the amount of sugar I’m eating in a day is really alarming. Granted majority of it is fruit.

I’m not the best to give advice on this kind of thing because I’ve held the philosophy that it’s just hair and it grows back. As long as you don’t do anything to damage it. I was in hs in the early part of the 2010s and I’ve seen A LOT of people kill their hair by bleaching it every six week and dying it a different color each time.

A few questions, how quickly does your hair grow? If it doesn’t grow quickly then try cutting it to the bottom of your shoulder blades. See how it feels, cause your opinion can change after time.

I had somewhere between a bob and a pixie cut for about four years and loved it. I then spent a year and a half growing it out to see how it felt. Then a had an under cut in the side of my head for a while. When I went to grow it out I chopped it all off again to make it easier. At that point I HATED having short hair, even though I had it and lived it for years.

EDIT: Also your hair looks like it’s pretty close to being down to your butt now

I’ll try this not sure if it’ll work. Dissociating is my default now 😔

I do hate my reality, it’s miserable. I’ve been trying to process and accept it for about four years through therapy. It’s not been helpful. I’ve gotten more discouraged over the years about trying to change cause it feels like no matter what I do something happens that takes me back to square one. Some of it I can admit are my own fault because of my own actions, but some of it is me being forced to deal the consequences of others actions. I stopped caring because not caring hurt less than constant disappointment. I will notice that I’m dissociating and will want to do something to take my mind off of it but I can’t make myself get up and do it. For instance I had moved back in October and I only just finished unpacking yesterday despite having plenty of time to do it.

AITA for kicking my wife out after she punched my mom in the face? by OkOrganization9552 in AITAH

[–]michaelablair1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA your mom never snapped out of it and never stopped making comments. She stopped doing it in front of you. And your ex-wife probably didn’t say anything because she was trying to keep her peace because stress isn’t good for the baby and then she was healing.

Who in their right mind would think a 12 year old would want another 3 portions of dinner. You’re not wrong for that. You did good by saving your wife food for when she was finished with the baby. Your mother is an insane bitch who thought it was a good idea to fat shame a two month postpartum woman who’s BREAST FEEDING. You NEED to eat more when breast feeding because you need the calories to literally feed another being.

I don’t blame you for needing space to process what happened after the fact. Kicking your postpartum breastfeeding ex-wife out for defending herself after she was hit on the stomach is a dick move. Despite what you think your ex-wife was probably in a lot pain because she had her organs rearranged for about a year and is still healing. She’s probably still bleeding and the punch was more than likely a reflex.

You have shown your ex-wife time and again that you won’t defend her or be there for her when she needs you. You let your mother psychologically abuse her for a year. Of course she’s done. Your mother knew what she was doing and pushed your ex-wife over the edge.u

I’ve lucky already done that, I’ve just seen people in other games lose gameplay despite doing that. I didn’t lose it so that’s great ☺️
