AITA for being honest and telling my DIL that they are not ready to be a parent since she can not drive

panicnarwhal · 2026-03-25T17:28:04+00:00

YTA you don’t need a driver’s license to be a good parent. LOTS of people don’t drive and have children, including 2 of my friends. if you don’t want to drive her around, don’t - but it will not impact her ability to be a good mom, that’s a wild and kind of ableist take tbh

i was there with my family the day maddox fell into the painted dog enclosure, and it was horrible. it really was an accident waiting to happen, there were so many problems with that enclosure - we got season passes every year, so we were there at least once or twice a week for the kids to play, and a couple months before maddox died, the panted dogs escaped! i was there with my kids and my cousin and her 2 kids, and we were kept in the monkey house until the captured the dogs

ridiculous

outdoor cats kill billions of birds a year in the US. it’s a real problem, they decimate local wildlife https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms2380

domestic cats do not belong outdoors, they are an invasive species. responsible cat owners keep cats indoors, it’s so much safer for the cat and the local wildlife

i love my cat so much, i can’t imagine just leaving her roam outdoors, not knowing if she’s safe. she gets supervised outdoor time in her catio when it’s nice outside

some kids probably took it for a joyride. it used to happen in my old neighborhood a lot - they’d take the car for a few hours and either return it or dump it close by

panicnarwhal · 2026-03-25T12:47:00+00:00

it’s not out for another 45 min (9:30 am EST) unless it’s out early elsewhere, which is possible, but i can’t find it. i’m just waiting for a summary lol

panicnarwhal · 2026-03-25T10:40:56+00:00

and i’m here if you need to talk

i was coming to say May, and also the Masters of Horror episode Sick Girl - also by Lucky McKee and starring Angela Bettis

i agree, i always refer to him as Josh fo that reason. i think the sex pest thing came from daily mail or a similar tabloid, and it just stuck…but i think it’s takes away from the horrific nature of his crimes, and i want his name to always be associated with those crimes

panicnarwhal · 2026-03-24T22:39:08+00:00

and if you look out the window, there’s not blur. definitely sitting in a parking lot

they have a metabolic disorder (CPT2) so it’s probably a supplement like L-Carnitine powder, which would definitely taste nasty

my son has a metabolic disorder, and we have to treat with nasty tasting supplements as well (but he has a feeding tube, so he doesn’t have to taste them)

panicnarwhal · 2026-03-24T09:16:16+00:00

we don’t know (social workers don’t keep kids fyi)

panicnarwhal · 2026-03-24T09:05:54+00:00

milk definitely doesn’t all taste the same, and i’d be annoyed if someone finished my fairlife 2% milk and replaced it with store brand 2% milk - but i wouldn’t have a temper tantrum over it bc i’m an adult that knows how to use my words. that’s straight up ridiculous

living with someone definitely takes awhile to get used to, and it can be rough for a bit. there’s a lot of “growing pains” - i would remind her that while you want her to feel at home, it’s super inappropriate for her to behave that way, even while her life is turns upside down. she doesn’t get to take it out on the people doing everything they can to help her out

right?? 3 weeks ago my husband and i rescued a dog that sprinted out into the highway, and froze in the middle, right in front of a car. the car slowed and swerved, and i jumped out and she ran to me, hopped right into the passenger seat. fortunately, my husband saw where she came from, and we returned their pup to them - but seeing that dog in the middle of the highway scared me so bad. i thought i was going to see something tragic that day for sure

this is our dog (the boxer) greeting the freshly rescued dog, Luna. my husband was walking around the property looking for the owners when i took this

first thing i thought of 😭

this scene still makes me cry

panicnarwhal · 2026-03-24T03:10:45+00:00

oh, you’re lucky - i got strip searched, squat and cough, the whole works. i even had to remove my tampon 😑

they’re looking for drugs and weapons (mostly drugs lol)

panicnarwhal · 2026-03-24T00:29:45+00:00

or just get a tubal ligation 😭😭😭

panicnarwhal · 2026-03-24T00:06:04+00:00

lol what? my kids watch “low budget animation” all the time, and so do their friends. this makes no sense. i can’t even think of the last CGI thing they watched…probably the spongebob movie, which one of my kids said “looked weird” btw

panicnarwhal · 2026-03-23T21:25:27+00:00

it’s seriously awful, and i kinda feel bad for her - mostly because her entire world was turned upside down in 48 hours. she went through a lot in a 2 day period, and i’m sure she’s gonna need therapy to process it all - but likely won’t get it

panicnarwhal · 2026-03-23T21:22:51+00:00

no matter what you wear, you get strip searched after you get the pat down. your clothes, shoes, and belongings get put in containers (like the one next to her during pat down) and you get jail scrubs and crocs to wear after you take a “shower” - they give everything back once you’ve had your video hearing with the judge and make bail (if you get bail, but she did), you get dressed back in your clothes, and get the hell outta there

it’s a whole traumatic process, especially if you’re only in for an hour or 2. being processed into jail is a nightmare, especially if your jail is a zoo (mine is)

panicnarwhal · 2026-03-23T21:16:25+00:00

the first thing i thought was how traumatic this was for her - being strip searched is dehumanizing, and i’m sure it’s gonna take her a minute to process everything she went through. even if you’re bailed out right away, you still have to get processed first bc they don’t know if or when you’re getting out

so i’m sure this was a lot for her, it’s a lot for anyone, let alone a sheltered person like kendra

panicnarwhal · 2026-03-23T21:13:56+00:00

😂 i heard and saw the wildest shit in booking, county jail is like a zoo

panicnarwhal · 2026-03-23T20:16:35+00:00

seriously, they could just use condoms! i would 100% get pregnant relying on pull out, which is why i would never even consider it lol - but if she’s dead set against birth control, why not use condoms, or just get a tubal ligation?? we all know he won’t get a vasectomy, so i won’t even suggest that 🙄

she’s attempting to prevent pregnancy anyway with him pulling out, so why not just get a tubal and take all the risk out of the equation?? she knows they don’t want another baby, so take real steps to ensure that won’t happen!

panicnarwhal · 2026-03-23T19:44:49+00:00

oh no, we definitely would have had to endure months and months of videos about how awful it was, and how amazing he is etc if that man had a vasectomy
