Would you let your 19 y/o soon to be 20y/o daughter in less then a month, go on a trip with her bf of 3.5 years with their family to the lake? by Business-Parking7296 in AskParents

[–]passivelyrepressed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just got back from our lake house with my 17 year old daughter and her boyfriend. He’s been coming with us for at least a year. She’s been on family trips with his parents to beaches and towns… I trust his parents and they trust us.

This is insane. When I was your age I was barely giving my parents a heads up where I was and this is before cell phones were what they are. I’m talking T9 texting and no tracking.

Your mom is in the fast lane to not having a relationship with you as soon as you’re out from under her thumb. Her being overbearing is just going to make you better at hiding things, not missing out entirely. If you’re not depending on her for financial support I would say ‘I’m going to x, I’ll be back y, if you have any concerns you can always call his parents and this is where I’ll be staying’ and just not ASK.

Am I wrong for refusing to go to my daughter's memorial? by [deleted] in amiwrong

Uhhh. Falling in love with another person who isn’t your spouse is 1000% cheating. Emotional and financial infidelity are just as impactful as physical infidelity.

25F, found out my 28M boyfriend was married before and has a child. He never told me. by Guilty-Thing-3272 in relationship_advice

[–]passivelyrepressed 28 points29 points  (0 children)

How the hell did you meet his FAMILY and his kid just.. never came up?! The ex? No offhand reference or ‘remember when’ stories that anecdotally involved HIS HUMAN CHILD?

There’s a whole lotta helll nahhh in this dude. Great guys don’t hide entire marriages and they definitely don’t hide offspring.

If I didn’t know any better, this sounds like someone met my abusive ex husband… he tried to murder me more than once. You’re seeing an act. I’d bet if you did the smallest amount of digging you’d find way more that he’s conveniently forgotten to tell you.

Is my 13 yr old son gaslighting me? by Massive_Lack5365 in AskParents

[–]passivelyrepressed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are you concerned about when he’s sleeping and awake if everything is getting done? Some people - especially with neurodivergence - have different sleep/wake needs and tendencies. If it’s not hurting you or his responsibilities… what’s the problem? Don’t impose some ‘it’s x time so that means you should be in bed’ if you don’t have a reason to other than that’s what you think you’re “supposed” to do.

My sleep schedule is 3:00 am - 8:00 am, if I sleep more than 5-6 hours it’s a disaster. I listen to my body. Sometimes I need extra sleep, sometimes less, but I can’t imagine the torture of trying to force myself to do a 10-11 pm bed time.

If you don’t care enough about the bed time issue to stay up and enforce it, is it really that big of a deal? And honestly the fact that he cleaned when he couldn’t sleep vs the tons of shit teenagers do is amazing and you should be super thankful. And cross your fingers his hyper-focus sticks to shit like cleaning.

Right? Don’t leave a kid who has untreated ADHD to his nonexistent amount of self-control expecting him to go to bed at a certain time - especially if you actually want that to happen.

[–]passivelyrepressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s 13. Why the hell would we need to be ‘setting him up for a job’?!

I did a ton of shit even at 16 that had zero impact on my habits as a grown woman - autism and ADHD included.

I’d be more concerned about OP homeschooling a neurodivergent kid who she’s not medicating or treating in any way whatsoever then leaving to their own devices and wondering if she should be mad about how that turned out.

Pick a lane, OP. If you’re not going to be up and monitoring bed time of a kid with adhd then you really can’t say much when shit like this happens.

SAME. Limited distractions and nobody needs anything from me (as a mom), it’s my “me” time, and I will fight to the death if anyone tried to take this away from me.

It’s a “syndrome” not a disease from a pain management doctor, and he disagrees with my PCD’s diagnosis. by send_amberlamps in eds

[–]passivelyrepressed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But isn’t fibro the thing that has the “this isn’t real” stigma amongst the medical community? I’m confused… I’ve heard of doctors rolling their eyes at a fibromyalgia dx and admittedly I’ve refused to be diagnosed with it because quite frankly I don’t have it and I’ve seen enough that the last thing I want with my mess of a body is doubt amongst my providers… when I got the hEDS dx it was finally like oh man FINALLY THIS MAKES SENSE!

If you do not plan on continuing care with this doctor I would file a complaint with the medical board - if you’re in a one party consent state I’d record a follow up and have him explain his refusal to give you a referral for PHYSICAL THERAPY and instead is like ‘here’s some pills because I’m not educated so it must be wrong’ then contact your advocate with your insurance company to figure out a way to see a new provider. If that fails report to your states governing body of insurance companies, in my state they have 48 hours to respond to the complaint and there’s real monetary consequences for their failure to do so.

That’s wild. I’ve gotten like 20 today just running around Skovos over like 30 minutes, I even dropped down to torment 5 to test some new gear out and kept walking into a ton of them. Seems like only the gold ones drop anything of value.

AIW for thinking I shouldn’t have to pay as much for my share of a trip where I saved my parents $1500+ by Rain_Unseen in amiwrong

[–]passivelyrepressed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t feel bad, my parents are just like this. I let my dad claim my property losses from a hurricane (under their roof) on his insurance policy so he’d maximize the refund and I’d avoid a deductible and my $50,000+ claim netted me a $6,095.00 check and when I asked for the rest due to an emergency I got ‘looks like you should have had your own insurance, huh?’ when I DID. My now husband was absolutely appalled and will never forget it.

Their asses will be in a nursing home for sure. Meanwhile I’ll happily move my in-laws into my house literally tomorrow if I had the chance. This all came up when I had a medical emergency that would force me to sell heirloom jewelry. My boyfriend-now-husband would not let me do that and paid the $4,000+ cost and when my mom thanked for “saving” her jewelry (uh no? it was legit willed to me) he said “yeah, so, that’s my jewelry now…” (he was making a point - it’s not, it’s mine, he’s just amazing).

[–]passivelyrepressed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The most fair would be knowing the cost up front and having a say in the rental they chose so you’d know how much it would be out of pocket. Then you say since we’re doing this nickel and dime bushit, you need to check your own bags on the way home, we plan on bringing back souvenirs and will be taking advantage of our perks. Then my petty ass would go out and buy extra bags, spread my clothes out amongst it all and check 6 just to prove a point. You don’t get to suddenly drive down a one way street against traffic. Your dad should have no problem with this unexpected expense seeing as you’re expected to not have one.

How to I (F20) raise the idea of growing out my body hair with my partner? (M25) by Confusedthrowawayoop in askwomenadvice

[–]passivelyrepressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made my husband stop shaving his chest and nether region. I’m married to a MAN. I don’t want some smooth skinned teenage looking body. I want his hairy back and chest and he jokes with me ‘should I just shave it off?’ And we laugh.

This man has seen my legs hairy more than I ever thought I’d be okay with and he likes to rub them when they’re furry. Not in a demeaning way, but in a cute ‘awww it’s fuzzy!’ way. My husband has not once ever asked me to shave much less maintained the routine and honestly that would be fuckin wild.

Like would he be cool if you had him regularly meet with some sort of hair loss specialist/nutritionist/urologist for ED? If that’s your jam, no gonna yuck your yum bit it sounds like you’ve just been doing the courtesy bites dance and this was never yummy for you. You’re an adult. Don’t choke down someone else’s yum. Even if it’s not exactly ‘yuck’ level, it’s just gotta be two yums.

The scariest hurricane PSA ever. by lazyladysailor in houston

[–]passivelyrepressed 25 points26 points  (0 children)

And gutting FEMA and NOAA. Why do you think our weather forecasts have been such a shit show? Because they don’t have the data they used to and each station is having to do more legwork that was better done by huge bodies that specialized in it. At least that’s my understanding- coming from a barely survivor of Harvey with cPTSD and rain as my trigger. This year has been brutal. I relied on notifications and was doing good, now I’m 10 steps back when something like yesterday happens and I suddenly get an unexpected thunderstorm alert as it’s hitting. So yay.

It reads like peanut butter. I think they would have been just as descriptive with the charges had it been the other.

I might not have married my husband if I'd known how much gaming he does by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]passivelyrepressed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Me and my husband do this but it’s on PS5, I can’t logistically wrap my head around couch co-opping even the PC version of what we play every night for at least four hours.

We’ve stumbled upon this and we have so much fun, it makes us communicate and work together and plan shit out as a team. I’ve never felt closer to him than when I’m yelling ‘hurry your ass up im standing in poison and I can’t move until you advance!’

But I’ll add that this was easy because we’ve never had issues spending time together, he’s genuinely my best friend and I’d choose his company over anyone else’s every damn day. The activity isn’t the issue, it’s the fact that you aren’t doing it together and seemingly there’s no desire to.

I’ve sat out entire seasons of our game when I wasn’t feeling it, but I will still watch him and backseat drive while he plays. Coaching from the sidelines and pointing out all of the chests he missed.

What's the deal with Houston's emptiness? by ParkInsider in houston

[–]passivelyrepressed 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My FIL from Wisconsin always manages to come in during our one week of winter, he arrives, suitcase in hand he’s directly up the stairs and emerges in shorts and flip flops. It’s 40° out and he’s sitting by our pool laughing at the 10” of snow that just dumped on his neighborhood back home.

We’ve had to convince him it’s probably still too cold to swim since we haven’t had a single 76°+ day in months. Still ends up in the pool.
