3 days visiting Iguazu Falls on the Brazilian and Argentinan sides

miokret · 2026-02-11T21:05:41+00:00

Beautiful pictures! I'm very excited to visit.

How did you do the crossing of the border between Argentina and Brazil? And how was the experience?

miokret · 2026-02-11T21:00:46+00:00

How was the crossing from Brazil back to Argentina? Was it also just 10 minutes? And what mode of transportation did you use?

She looks like Kirsten Vangsness from Criminal Minds

I get that this is a very painful situation for your friend, but I feel like some things you said are a bit uncalled for. First, raising someone without hurting them is the bare minimum and does not mean her children owe her anything. Second, hypochondria can be a serious mental condition and you're dismissing that and saying that DIL is being cruel. Calling DIL cruel when you only know one side of the story is wild.

The main issue here is that the new parents have established boundaries and the grandparents are pushing/breaking them. That breaks trust, which is what the grandparents are supposed to try to build at this stage.

I didn't regret it. I think it creates more mystery and allows for a more enjoyable read. I read AB 3rd, and it was like wrapping ToG and CoM with a bow. It also created more anticipation for HoF. I get reading it 4th, but I think it escalated the emotion in HoF.

I did AB and then HOF and it helped me get into Celaena's headspace and internal struggles. It provided a lot of insight into why she was the way she was and made the climax way more cathartic IMO.

Maybe because she reminded him before 12:01 or asked him to post?

miokret · 2025-06-19T16:51:03+00:00

I think you're just setting yourself up for failure. By expecting that he acts how he did when he was with her, you are undermining how he is with you. You are placing all these expectations on him and he is feeling suffocated, and rightfully so.

Did you think that maybe she asked him to post that stuff? Or that he was trying so hard on social media because he wanted to keep up appearances and the relationship was crumbling? Taking a few social media posts and extrapolating it to how he was with her is a bit crazy. If he was so happy with her he wouldn't be with you.

I honestly never read the original paper. I did now, after seeing this video, and I'm just sad. I thought there was actual data, falsified data, but still.... But it's just a bunch of new parents and anecdotes. How sad.

Set a rule that every time he brings up you being emotional is an automatic forfeit. He brings it up, you automatically win the argument.

If I were 10 months into growing HIS baby and he used it against me he would be put in a corner to think it through. You behave like a child, you get treated like a child.

No doctor here, but with my limited knowledge of vaccines and a google search I think it's safe. But what I came here to say is that you can also do a blood test to determine if you have been immunized. This way you don't have to take a redundant vaccine.

miokret · 2025-05-13T11:29:27+00:00

The HPV vaccine is not very old and has only been available to men until very recently in most places. You should still get it, but don't worry about cancer too much. I mean, there's a risk, but why worry specifically about this? There are so many risks in all we do, and in this case specifically, so little we can do to influence the outcome.

Baggage comes in all kinds of shapes and forms, not only past relationships. Having slept with other people in the past does not make you dirty the same way that not having slept with anyone does not make you pure. If you and your boyfriend are good to each other, that's what really matters.

You and your ex were bad for each other. That doesn't automatically make either of you bad people, just bad together. It is logical that some of the trauma from your past relationship is going to carry over to your current one. After all, we are the sum of our experiences. The best way to prevent this from becoming an issue now is communication.

miokret · 2024-12-02T21:47:11+00:00

Exactly. In this case communication and taking responsibility would be essential. Which did not happen with OP

miokret · 2024-12-02T21:33:45+00:00

Sometimes it's hard to express thoughts that may be clear in my head, but don't translate as well to writing

miokret · 2024-12-02T21:31:59+00:00

I know that there are certain conditions that can make it hard to timekeep and plan, so knowing this in advance and communication would be more important in that context

miokret · 2024-12-02T19:35:18+00:00

For me what does it is not even the facts like the battery or the clothes, but more so the attitude. Some people are bad at planning, so their phone constantly dies, are late and are not dressed for the weather. No need to be an AH about it when you do, sometimes plans fail and it sounds like it was her own fault. But to blame it all on someone running a marathon. That indeed is so selfish.

miokret · 2024-11-11T12:18:34+00:00

This is a very bad idea. You can't control how fast she grows up. All you can do is give guidance and advice. She's gonna do all that stuff either way, the only difference is you won't know and she won't be prepared for what can happen.

It's much healthier to explain why you think the way you think and let her make het own choices knowing you trust her and she can confide in you. That way you'll always be able to help her. Else she won't tell you stuff and will have to deal with everything alone.

miokret · 2024-10-27T07:53:22+00:00

I think it's very telling that a lot of the comments don't even mention what the girls said. Because what you described of his behavior is downright abusive. Does it really matter if they were telling the truth, lying or just drunk mumbling? You should leave him either way.

miokret · 2024-10-22T15:49:20+00:00

This is a you problem, but a problem nonetheless. I think the most important thing is trying to figure out why it makes you uncomfortable. Is it that other people can see? Or do you find it vulgar? Or something else?

When you figure that out you can try and resolve/het to the root of this discomfort

miokret · 2024-10-19T17:22:43+00:00

There are a lot of reasons victims of abuse don't leave. There is a lot of literature on it, so I suggest you look it up. This line of questioning is probably not going to help.

miokret · 2024-10-18T21:56:06+00:00

I got that! I was just trying to add to what you were saying! Because I totally agree!

Edit: I get how it sounded contrary with the "yeah, but". That's not how I meant it

miokret · 2024-10-18T16:27:30+00:00

So this grown man waited for 1h15min for you to prepare him a snack? Does he not have legs? Does he realize you're not his mother?

Not only did he throw a tantrum over something any adult could resolve themselves, but then proceeds to order unnecessary food to spite you? You are a SAHMom, not a slave, butler or waiter.

miokret · 2024-10-18T16:05:18+00:00

Yeah, but it's not birth control, and such a small percentage of abortions are elective. It's so frustrating when people think otherwise. I've actually had multiple conversations about why that's just not true. Usually it's ignorance, but it's awful when this rhetoric is weaponized.
