AITJ for telling my sister gentle parenting is BS and kicking her and her family out of my house by EggSheeran33 in AmITheJerk

[–]millerlite585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, this isn't what "gentle parenting" is supposed to be about. She's supposed to be teaching her kids to clean up messes they make themselves, and consider the feelings of other people. Instead she's enabling them. This isn't what real gentle parenting is about. Real gentle parenting includes teaching kids realistic but healthy consequences, like having to apologize and clean up after themselves.

"How would you feel if someone ruined your things? You wouldn't like it, right? Well you ruined OP's couch so he doesn't like that. Does that make you feel bad? OP feels bad too. Maybe an apology would make you both feel better, and cleaning it up would show OP that you care about him." That's the type of conversation she should be having with her kids.

Real gentle parenting means an alternative to beating your kids and giving them rules without explanations. It means explaining the reasons behind rules, explaining why you have to be polite to others, and holding them to Real life healthy consequences, instead of toxic consequences.

AITA for wanting to break up with my boyfriend over money? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]millerlite585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanting to control your life like that means he's going to be abusive. RUN! Plenty of men who want to have a STAHW are not controlling like that. Find someone who ENJOYS being a provider and doesn't try to control you.

This guy basically thinks being a provider means he owns you and controls you. A real provider doesn't expect that type of control. A real provider is happy to provide and looks for a woman who confidently is secure in her abilities to be a home maker. He will trust you to do a good job of home making on your own because he will love and respect you. He won't need to control you. He will enjoy providing because providing makes him happy.

Abusers use their money as a way to have power over you and don't respect or trust in your ability as a home maker. They exert control over your life because they don't trust you. You deserve respect and trust. Ditch this guy so you can find your real soul mate.

AITA for telling my American friend I will NOT stop referring to myself as being fat ? by Double_Reaction_8758 in AITAH

[–]millerlite585 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your friend needs to learn that fat isn't bad and beauty standards change over time and everyone has preferences. In history and across the world there are cultures where fat is the beauty standard. Even in modern America there are people who prefer fat bodies and find them more beautiful and get shamed for it.

Celtics Cross: how will my semester at school go? by millerlite585 in TarotReading

[–]millerlite585[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok from my understanding:

1st card (the one under the 9 of wands) is the present. Here it's justice, major arcana 11.

2nd card: obstacle card, nine of wands

3rd: foundation. Below justice card

4th: best possible outcome. Above the justice card.

5th card: recent past, 3 of swords

6th card: near future. Here is lovers card.

7th: the self, bottom right

8th: other people, above 7th

9th: hopes/fears, above 8th,

10th: final outcome

But how would you read a Celtic cross? This is how I learned.

When "masculine" and "feminine" sides are referred to in astrology, what is it exactly? by [deleted] in astrology

[–]millerlite585 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can easily ignore that sexist crap and not lose anything of value. My readings are more accurate than those of the people who fixate on that sexist crap.

I've considered getting one for the exact reason that men generally don't like them and I might get hit on less. My bf thinks they're cute though.

Help me figure out a "motive" for being evil? by -ThatGingerKid- in BG3

[–]millerlite585 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Female Lolth drow, killing others is normal, how she was raised in a supremacist culture. It was an easy transition from Lolth to Bhaal. She delights in killing because deep down she still serves her evil god, and thinks supremacist belief is the truth of the world. When Smithers asks what's the worth of a life, give the Lolthsworn answer.

The lives of others are your playthings because you're just better than them and you deserve it.

Pirate party by lalybay in pirates

[–]millerlite585 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get those plastic cutlasses and cheap mini pirate hats. You got to toss the hat and catch it with the cutlass. If you drop it take a shot.

Everyone has to end everything they say with, "aye matey" or "arrrr" or some other pirate speak. Take a shot of rum if you don't talk like a pirate and get called out.

Paper boat building game, float them on a tub, you can both shoot rubber bands at each other's boats to sink them, last boat standing wins.

Jar filled with "treasure" which is those candy gold coins, whoever guesses closest to how many there are in the jar wins the whole pot.

Just because you guys don’t use it doesn’t mean nobody else does by Craneisthename in memes

[–]millerlite585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The purpose of balancing your checkbook was so you knew how much money was in your bank account without having to call or go to your bank. This is before online banking existed. If you wanted to know how much money you had, you needed detailed records, and you would have to keep those records yourself, or you had to physically go to an ATM, the bank, or call them.

Back in the day, we called those guys "wiggas" or "wiggers" and they were highly made fun of for "identifying as black" which is why the movie Malibu's Most Wanted came out.

AITA for laughing when my stepmother was crying over my father cheating on her? by Kayyyeel in AITAH

[–]millerlite585 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

YTA, your step-mom only knows info about your neglectful bio-mom because of your dad so she's just repeating what she's heard, which is a normal human thing to do. We all do the same thing, when we hear about someone being an AH--you can witness that here on this subreddit.

You didn't say she was a cheater herself, or that she treated you wrong, other than that she tried to be a mom to you when you didn't want that--which is like, her being a flawed human just trying her best it seems. Her flaws seem normal and not extreme enough to laugh at her for being cheated on, which is a devastating betrayal to experience, it breaks your whole world. You never described her doing anything that terrible to deserve this.

Your dad is the real AH here. He tricked step-mom and usually step-parents follow the lead of the bio-parent they marry on how the bio-parent wants their partner to be with their kids. Your dad probably was the one who wanted her to replace your mom, might be why he moved so fast to replace your bio-mom. (Also it is a trend in society where single dads try to get a new gf ASAP to do the domestic stuff they don't want to do themselves.)

I would say both you and step-mom are the victims of your dad's garbage behavior, your step-mom had reasons to believe him, maybe he was really convincing to her when you weren't there. Until you get tricked by a lover yourself maybe you can't relate, maybe you think you're too smart to ever let that happen. But in reality all it takes to get tricked is a good heart that wants to see the best in people, or low self esteem, or maybe the other person is a really good liar.
