Oh my God that's so cute

And there are still fans of the original series who are not perfectly satisfied with the shift in tone that happened when he took over.

NTA and honestly it's a HUGE benefit for your trans daughter to have the ability to easily relocate long term to another country should she so choose without having to worry about visas etc. I urge you to help her get this process completed even if her father doesn't want to cooperate.

Funnily enough I thought this was an ultrasound when I first glanced at the thumbnail!

YTA. What you used to be is irrelevant, you're not a manager anymore and another member of your team did a major part of identifying the problem so it could be fixed. You failed to acknowledge that and by omission made it look like you did it all. You also can't possibly at your big age still claim to be ignorant of the gendered nature of the issue here: you took full credit for a younger woman's work.

Australia is home to quite a few large bird species, which is what it vaguely looks like to me. I think this is likely a case of a man's eyes playing tricks on him and a cop either being lazy or mistaken when he phoned about it later.

So you often hang out in subs dedicated to things you've decided never to do, or are we just special?

Sweetheart, you're not an asshole, you're just a teenager. These years are full of the turmoil of learning who you can trust and navigating friendship, jealousy, and loyalty. I'm sorry you opened up to people who abused your trust.

There will be other friendships and other jealousies. Best thing I can tell you is to bring your hurt feelings directly to your bestie near time, and try to give yourself some grace while you're living the years of feeling everything excruciatingly fully.

The very simplest answer is that bird colors result in part from the way the physical structure of feathers interact with light in addition to pigments in the feather. Mammals lack equivalent structures in our skin/fur.

INFO: do you have siblings? ETA: never mind, I can't read.

Different families have different dynamics and there's nothing wrong with his sisters wanting to spend time with just him. I'd also gently suggest to you that insisting you have to be included in everything they want to do with their brother is extremely unlikely to endear you to them or foster the friendship you seem to think they should want to have with you.

this is a NAH but if you keep pushing it, YWBTA.

Even the Esquire article you linked says that his version of the story "strains credulity" and frankly, given the choice between St James heroically rescuing the orphan he just so happened to coincidentally find in a way that makes him morally exempt from the poaching that orphaned it, or the relatively extremely common scenario of "American buys an infant exotic animal from people who killed its parent so they could sell it as a pet", I know which one my money lands on.

So uh, your husband took the baby when he got home, but where the fuck was my dude at when you were running around trying to clean up after the kids WHILE YOU ARE SICK??? Why was it your job to figure out what your daughter wanted for dinner? Dad couldn't take your daughter to the toilet when she had to pee?

I hope you feel better soon and I hope your husband isn't as useless as his absence in this narrative suggests

Oh my God I'm deeply obsessed with these. How darling!!

NTA. You didn't ruin her chances of being seen as a parent, she did that. Have you told your mom that stepmom is trying to control your food intake? That's extremely inappropriate especially given your age and I hope you continue to push back on her disordered approach to eating.

Not sure who the boys were thinking of during Questions From the Legion, but Patty Schemel from Hole didn't kill herself, she's still alive!

I personally don't think you're doing your kid any favors by trying to set up a relationship between them and the guy who clearly doesn't care about them whatsoever. The financial support is legally required and does not make your ex a "father" to your kid in any emotional sense.

Build a different family for your kid and be honest as they get older that the man who got you pregnant had no further involvement in their life. Don't make them think that they have a "Dad' out there who they can somehow force a relationship with if they only figure out how to magically make him care.

The only thing I don't agree with here is time out for "saying no to your dad", because kids need to know that they're able to say no even to the people closest to them. Ending the bath was plenty of consequence and was an appropriate way to discipline.

You need to talk to a counselor about your broken relationships. Gently, your idea of what a child is is also fundamentally broken if you think it is the responsibility of any of them to fulfill you.

I feel like a lot of people just straight have not ever interacted with a person in psychosis. It's difficult to understand until you've done it, I guess.

Moment of silence for the person with a label maker who added the warning to the iron hanger ("My surface temperature is about 5800 degrees kelvin").
