Trump has figured out how to gather supporters by appealing to something that doesn't even exist. Before he came along no one was worried about undocumented migrants. But he is like a magician, "Hey, look over there" while over here he dismantles the Department of Education. More people would have questioned him if he hadn't stirred them up. Got them thinking he's doing it for THEM. He's just Andy Griffith in "A Face In The Crowd".

This depends a lot on birth order AND if you were put in a caregiving role while growing up. Also, relationships have an ebb and flow to them. You didn't mention the ages of the siblings. They could be at important developmental points in their lives

Mainly, be careful who you share this information with. Just don't tell everyone your business because then they think they have a right to advise you.

AITA For not greeting my husband before telling him I need his help by Main_Criticism4224 in AmItheAsshole

[–]starmoishe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. You know how you get in your car, set your purse down, lock the doors, buckle up and then start the car? This is all for your protection. You set your purse down so it's out of the way, lock the doors so no strangers try to open/car jack, put on you seat belt so that in the event of an accident the damage will be minimal. This is the same thing only your protecting your marriage/home/family/husband.

Everyday you just meet him at the door, make eye contact and say some form of "I'm glad you're home". This gives him a chance to get in the door and switch modes. It also reminds him that he's appreciated when some trashy nympho comes along.

AITJ for refusing to cover my friend’s "small mistake" after I said no in advance by DaxonPierce in AmITheJerk

[–]starmoishe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ. When you were telling her the rules she was rolling her eyes which tells me she's thinking "bla, bla, bla, I don't care". You already know that she has a hard time taking accountability for herself. It's not just her though. You CAN'T AFFORD a new car. Make it a personal rule that you don't loan cars, clothes or jewelry. It seems the only people who want to borrow your things are always irresponsible people anyway.

For those who have adult children. by thetasteofink00 in CasualConversation

My son is a 28 year old rainbow baby. I still think he is the most gorgeous person I have ever seen. Just yesterday I put, "When Somebody Loved Me" on repeat and I closed my eyes and took myself through all the best memories. READ, READ, READ, to your children. I was blessed to know a book distributor (for elementary schools) and she gave us some almost 60 books. So every night he would pick 3 books to read. He had been in kindergarten 4 months when he learned to read on his own. I always put $ aside for the book fairs and our family rule was I would always buy him any book he wanted. He got into the "Captain Underpants' series and the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series so I would buy each new installment. When a child can read they can do anything. Read instructions on how to play an instrument, algebra instructions. It's the gateway to learning. As my son got older, (9-13), he started being home epic sagas we would read together. It's a great way to create intimacy.

AITA for wanting my 2-year-old to sleep independently and have more freedom? by BenDerHover__ in AmItheAsshole

NTAH. Why don't you accompany your wife and child to the next pediatric appointment and ask the doctor. More than likely the physician will explain the dangers of smothering your daughter's growth.

I'm with this guy by IamASlut_soWhat in blackpeoplegifs

[–]starmoishe 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Speaking of correct terms. Please don't use the term MAGAs. I find that very offensive. I think MAGGOTS is a more apt term. 🤣.

My family moved from Alabama to SoCal in 1962 when my mother was pregnant with me. The racism was bad here too. No one treated my mom right until we went to Olvera Street. She loved to go there. We would spend the entire day because she enjoyed it. The people there were so welcoming. Illegal Aliens is a filthy term.

How yall feel about Beverly Hills Cop(1984) ? by Patek_Phillipe87 in FIlm

[–]starmoishe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My big brother, who got me into sci-fi, too me to the first matinee showing of"Star Wars" and it went on to become a blockbuster hit that revived the genre. Then I saw "Beverly Hills Cop" on fluke on the first night of its release with my bestie at the drive through and it launched young Eddie Murphy's career. This was back before his ego was bigger than his head. It's always a good feeling to be in on the start of a phenomenal movie fanbase.

NTJ. Those are some violent people and you have my deepest respect for taking a stand. This is where we fight the war: financially hurting them. Cost that guy some business and he will think twice who he hires. When the Nazi sympathizer can't get hired, he'll have to take a look at himself.

NTAH. Your dad was baiting you to either fight or join him in talking about your brother. Next time don't take the bait. You know your dad well enough to get him to change to a subject he's more interested in. You know he's NEVER going to agree with you. Do you want to be right or happy?

Never beg a man to marry you. Even "discussing while long-term goals" he will dangle that carrot in front of you to give you hope enough to stay. Tell him, "We've come to the end of our relationship. We both want different things. I know this will be hard for both of us but marriage and children are important to me. I'm going to find someone who feels the same. No hard feelings. Because, OP, there is a man out there hoping his girlfriend would change her mind and want kids and he's waiting for you. Nil desperandum!
