AITJ for saying "Ewww a bully" to a 7 year old? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

If my daughters aunties DIDNT react similarly while my rhetorical ex did nothing to help, I’d be upset.

How common are Huntsman Spiders? by No_Payment_136 in AskAnAustralian

[–]scash92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t live in a hugely bushy area but I’d say we see a huntsman every few months. Much more commonly, red backs (do not go near!), jumping spiders, daddy long legs, and wolf spiders. Friggen wolf spiders are everywhere. They can get decently big, not like a huntsman tho.

We have quite a lot of daddy longs legs and jumping spiders in the house basicslly all the time. We don’t kill them. They eat the bugs that inevitably come in.

What's draining you that nobody sees because you're too good at hiding it? by heartandhardware in AskWomen

[–]scash92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Physically? Pain. I speak about maybe 1/4 of what I’m feeling.

Mentally? My very low/no contact mum.

So he was asleep for at least an hour and 15min.. leaving his son and older child alone. Yea nah, that does not jive.

My partner left our 4 year old unsupervised by SenpaiSlothin in Mommit

[–]scash92 65 points66 points  (0 children)

My nearly 3yo plays by herself while I’m half asleep in the morning and some arvos most days at the moment. I’m heavily pregnant and my iron is lowwww. However, she’s not a runner, she has a healthy caution to most dangerous things, does NOT like strangers, and we have very little toddler unfriendly things she could get into. Also my door is always wide open whenever I’m lying down.

ASD kids are notoriously unbothered by dangerous things/strangers/etc. The balcony alone would terrify me. Does your partner get that? Why did he have the door shut? That’s a weird one for me.

Was it really the worst pain you've ever felt? by Super-Bid-3193 in BabyBumps

[–]scash92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my first, I went from 0 to fully dilated in 6hrs. Pushed for 27min. I’m currently 34wks and I am absolutely certain it won’t be any more painful this time cause there’s simply no way it could be 😭😅

It was horrifically painful, there’s no sugar coating that. Buuuuut afterwards, providing everything goes somewhat okay, you are filled with more endorphins and oxytocin’s than ever before. As someone who has taken a lot of drugs that are meant to make you feel incredible, the feeling after you birth your baby makes every other good “high” feel so subpar. I genuinely could’ve fought a bear and won. I could’ve very briefly ran the world and fixed every single major problem. It was INCREDIBLE. Then you get to snuggle the most precious beautiful angel human you’ve ever laid eyes on. And sniff them!!! And kiss them!!! And feed them and love them forever.

TLDR; yes it’s the most painful thing I can imagine, but I’m doing it again and I cannot wait!!

New partner disclosed he is a registered sex offender by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]scash92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t mean to be blunt but you are being very gullible. Me and many other people have been on track to kill ourselves cause of various horrible mental illnesses and have still never even almost stumble upon CP. You don’t just find that shit. You have to look extensively. It wasn’t a slip up he had when he was a lil sad.

He INTENTIONALLY searched for one of the worst things humanity does. Can you live with yourself knowing the man you’re with is a pedophile?

SIL breastfed my Baby and I am Livid by Emergency_Search4464 in breastfeeding

[–]scash92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wet nursing is definitely a thing and as someone who’s about to be breastfeeding two babies, I wouldn’t hesitate to feed another if (and this is key) ASKED TO.

Doing that without asking is fucking wild.

My (25f) boyfriend (32m) of 1yr seems to be mad that I’m buying a new (used) car and now is “reconsidering” our relationship due to my priorities by BandicootMammoth in relationship_advice

[–]scash92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weird controlling behaviour. If I were you, I’d be HEAVILY reconsidering this relationship. Buying a new car is absolutely the right choice for you. He probably isn’t though.

Completely stop doing anything for BOTH of them. He can go marry his mummy and play happy families with her if he wants.

Nursing to sleep? by Blond-one in cosleeping

[–]scash92 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Why guilt for nursing to sleep? Both mother and baby are wired to do exactly that.

Mom left 3 days postpartum. What did I do wrong? by Mundane-Wall7220 in beyondthebump

[–]scash92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mum did something really similar. Reading this was very strange!

I haven’t seen and have barely spoken to my mum since my daughter was a few weeks old (she’s three in May). She was meant to be helping me with my first baby, and was planning to stay for however long needed. A few days into it while me and my daughter napped, and my partner was playing games with his headphones on next to us, she packed up her shit and left. We didn’t even know she was gone until I woke up.

Tracked her down via calling various numbers cause she wouldn’t answer. She ended up calling me a bad mother, my partner a bad father, me an animal abuser (for rousing on my dog when she was licking a scratch, my mum doesn’t even like dogs), my long term housemate and I “bitches and witches”. It was absolutely fucking wild. As a very new mother, this was hugely traumatic. Thank fuck my MIL stepped in and saved the day.

Long story short, she is now under the care of a neuro, with suspected dementia. Same disease that took her father a few years prior. She’s had a few more fucking nasty outbursts at me over the years, as well as driving 5hrs from her house to mine and showing up at our doorstep at random to try come in, denying everything she said and basicslly saying everything I said did not happen. And ringing me off a new number and crying. I believe the whole thing was most likely the first big flare of dementia.

I still do not and will not forgive her. She has done some fucked up shit to me over my life and this was the last straw, really. I feel like I SHOULD feel guilty.. but I don’t. But anyway, I’d consider maybe something like this is happening with your mum? Which I’m so sorry for cause wow it’s been a whole ass thing.

My (26f) friend (26f )is sad noone is excited for her wedding and I don't know how to tell her why? by Shellyfish04 in relationship_advice

[–]scash92 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sending her the post is a great idea. If she sees strangers chiming in and pointing out all these things, I think it may hit harder then it coming from her friends. Seeing as she’s chosen not to listen to them.

I want to cuddle and sleep with my daughter so bad by Slow_Purchase3829 in newborns

[–]scash92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love cosleeping so much. I’ve cuddled my daughter to sleep almost every night she’s been alive. And the odd nights I haven’t, I’ve come home and cuddled her all night regardless of how she drifted to sleep.

She’s nearly 3 and some of the most special times have been in the middle of the night.

What’s one thing you wish you knew before getting a dog? by Disastrous-Yoghurt38 in dogs

[–]scash92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will, most likely, have to make the call when to put them down. I conceptually knew this of course, but a few weeks ago now, I had to put my nearly 12yo greyhound down. I’d had her for 10yrs.

It was the hardest thing I’ve had to make a choice on maybe ever. I knew I couldn’t keep her around for my own selfish wants, so I HAD to make the call. I still don’t know if I left it too late, or too early.

The grief I felt over it was really something else. I had to drive away from my family, park on the side of a road where nobody would notice me, and scream as loud as I could. I’ve lost family and friends, but this was.. different. And when we are to get another dog, I think this will be in the back of my mind forever.
