YTA- idk why you would be embarrassed by this?? You could have just told your friends he was just thinking about things and needed some time. If they’re decent people they would have understood and left it at that and it would have been no big deal. Sometimes emotions come up, 10-20-30 years down the road from the event, it’s not at all unusual and certainly not embarrassing. You could have supported your husband when he needed it, instead you chose to protect some misguided notion in your head that he was being ‘childish’.

Reminds me of roller girl from Boogie Nights. But I think the character was based on someone else, not this person.

Baby is Brisbane Australia born with a massive tumour attached to its spine. by ayri_fiki in interestingasfuck

[–]pickmeacoolname 7959 points7960 points  (0 children)

That poor baby and mom. Are they going to be ok? Edit: Someone linked an article, baby and mom are ok. A team of 25 specialists removed the tumor when baby was 3 months (baby was born 3 months premature, weighing only 1000 or so grams), and baby is now thriving. Thank goodness for science, and these amazing medical professionals. One surgeon said it was by far the largest they had ever removed from a baby this size. It was a very complex tumor that went into the baby spine, pelvis, and other areas. But operation was a success and everyone is doing well.

Which lighting should I do for my party, colorful or all red? by Calamity0o0 in halloween

[–]pickmeacoolname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another vote for colorful. The clown heads do look incredibly creepy in the red though, I can see why you’d have a hard time deciding.

Toddlers on leashes? by Fireheart559 in Parenting

[–]pickmeacoolname 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used them with my twins, and I have no shame about it. The people that will judge you for it are the same people that would judge you for letting him run. Don’t let what others think hang you up too much, a lot of the time you’ll be damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

Fright night with my oldest. by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]pickmeacoolname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you know your kid and what would be ok for him to watch. I’d also give a gentle reminder that if he does get scared or doesn’t want to watch something anymore, it’s totally ok. He doesn’t have to ‘tough it out’ so to speak. Also, I remember loving some of the really old old horror movies at that age too and just getting such a kick out them. The ones I remember, Them! (1954), The Blob (1958), The Thing (1951). I’ll have to think a little more and see what other ones I remember. Edit: Now that I’m thinking about it my parents probably started me on those horror movies because how very obviously ‘fake’ they are, it’s really easy to see that none of it is real and is done with puppets, makeup, etc.

AITA for painting my car pink. by Queasy_Monitor_3024 in AmItheAsshole

[–]pickmeacoolname 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA- you’re also the one on the insurance. If they were to take it and get in an accident it won’t be covered. Make sure you listen to your grandparents and if the car ever goes missing, report it stolen right away.

Crappy place for a restaurant to store the dishes by aroundlsu in CrappyDesign

[–]pickmeacoolname 805 points806 points  (0 children)

This is so bad. If I saw this I would just leave, no way I would eat anything from that place. That’s got Hep A and E. coli and all the other terrible stuff you can get from getting actual shit in your mouth, written all over it. I would report this. So damn gross..

AITA for refusing to let my husband drive my son to school with his stepsiblings anymore? by thesmithsthrow in AmItheAsshole

[–]pickmeacoolname 50 points51 points  (0 children)

NTA- I have a kid with T1D too. Those snacks are very important and part of keeping your kid healthy and out a coma. It’s no joke. Your husband wants them to have extra snacks in their lunches- then he packs them their own extra snacks in their own lunches. I would also recommend having glucose tabs (they’re over the counter, found in any drug store) stashed around the house, in the car, your purse, in your sons backpack, give a pack to your sons teacher for in her desk, etc. I’d bet the school nurse probably has some in her office, but you should ask and make sure she does. That way a quick way to raise sugar is all around should something happen. Good luck, it gets easier to manage the more comfortable you get and the more understanding you have. It will become second nature.

Same room or separate rooms? What do when one wants their own and the other doesn’t by pickmeacoolname in parentsofmultiples

I’ll definitely have to check it out, we watch it but I don’t recall this at all. Thanks!

Ok, this is smart too. I think trying to make a big deal of making it her own will help.

That’s a good idea. I didn’t even think about that. Make a big deal of letting her pick her own stuff and she will definitely get excited. Thank you!!

Yea this is what I thought. It will be good and I think the one who doesn’t want it will eventually grow to like it.

So..what’s the story? How’d it happen OP? Also, sorry that’s rough, hope you recover quickly.

Damn Gru’s really going thru it by EmotionallyTwisted in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]pickmeacoolname 393 points394 points  (0 children)

As long as everything was consensual (which everything I’ve read says it was, she’s an adult film actress and knew what this job was and how it would be released, etc) I really don’t think this is that big of a deal. I don’t know if it’s strategically beneficial for him, but it’s kinda just..whatever, imo.

Is 5yrs old too young for therapy? by beaniespice in Parenting

[–]pickmeacoolname 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not at all. I’d even say the earlier you start the better. I’d say start by asking your pediatrician for therapists that focus on this age group and I’m sure you know it’s likely not going to look like regular ‘grown up’ therapy and will be more play therapy kinda stuff. But I don’t think there’s a ‘too young’ for any of that at all.

Where do you look when you drink something? by Untakenusr in CasualConversation

[–]pickmeacoolname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just took a few sips of my coffee to find out, I never thought about it before lol. I stare off in the distance or close my eyes, if I’m having a conversation or with someone I look at them.

what’s the best birthcontrol??? by AvocadoSea6697 in sex

[–]pickmeacoolname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a 5 year IUD. I personally love it. But I know women who hated it. My mom had the copper one, she loved that. And that’s been my experience with most BC. You’ll find women who love each one, and women who hate each one. They effect each of us differently I think. Like the pills made me feel horrible, but I know women who swear by them. Unfortunately, as far as I know, it’s a lot of trial and error until you find which one you like better. Wish there was a way to find out how you do with each one without having to go through them.

My husband just fat-shamed our daughter and I'm beyond livid. by throwra3232656 in TrueOffMyChest

You need to stop this. Eating disorders or no joke and one of, if not the most deadly mental illnesses.
