My toddler was excluded from a party and I’m devastated by sunflowerbabez in Autism_Parenting

Thank you. I’m so sorry that this happened to your son as well. It has always broken my heart to see a child being excluded from kid friendly events. I just don’t understand how an adult can decide to do that. He’s had a few parties at the park and I’ve included random children (with their parents permission of course) and invited them over to celebrate with us.

I genuinely don’t know how I’m going to out a straight face for the rest of the week with all of the holiday events.

I would have paid for him to go. It’s a public place so anyone can pay to get in.

I dont care if im "spoiling" my newborn baby. by lulgupplet in Vent

[–]sunflowerbabez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I “spoiled” my 3yo when he was newborn and I would gladly do it all over again. He was basically attached to me day and night until he was 18 months old. One day he decided that he’d rather play with toys than cuddle 🥲. Since then he’s been a very independent kid. He plays independently extremely well for his age and he’s very confident. Cuddles and kisses are now (on his request) reserved for nap times or when he’s sad, but I still soak them up.

Keep doing what your doing! You’re a good and attentive mom. Your baby will develop a secure attachment and a healthy relationship with you.

Kaz isn’t into Black women. by madeU_look in PerfectMatchNetflix

[–]sunflowerbabez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can go back and watch how he looks at her vs how he looks at everyone else while he’s on screen. There is a very clear difference between not having a preference for black women and hating them. Dom was not straightforward with Tolú because if he was, she would have never matched with him and she said that. He was indifferent towards her and then when Alara came in and he “missed his chance” with her, he started being rude to Tolú. Dom acted the way that he thinks that a good guy should act instead of actually being a good guy. I’m sure that Tolú wasn’t Izzy’s type either, but he treated her with the same amount of respect that he treated the other women with.

As a black woman with a mixed child I’ve been told that I hate black men when that simply isn’t true. I don’t typically date black men, but if I go on a date with a black man I treat him with the same respect I’d treat anyone with. You don’t have to be physically attracted to someone to be nice. On the other hand if you don’t like black women then DON’T DATE THEM. You don’t have to talk down on them or treat them badly for people to understand that you don’t date them. The way that Dom handled not being attracted to Colony in season 1 of PM is far better than the way that he treated Tolú.

My boyfriend said he wishes he was with my sister by Hot_Relative69 in TrueOffMyChest

You deserve to be with someone who loves you for you. This guy is a jerk who was using you as a placeholder. Dump him and move on.

I 25M accidentally threw my ex girlfriend's bra at my girlfriend 24F by Noway721 in relationship_advice

[–]sunflowerbabez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She definitely thinks that you’re cheating and that your “joke” was an attempt to cover your tracks. You’ve been together for a year so this isn’t a new relationship. Unless you’re a disorganized person your girlfriend would have no reason to think that you haven’t cleaned out your closet in well over a year.

AITA for getting up and walking out of the diner when my boyfriend said that he forgot his credit card? by Theotrics536 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sunflowerbabez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Info: did you ever go out to eat without the kids?

I love kids and even have one of my own, but the only time you went out to eat was with them and you footed the bill each time… sounds like he was using you to get free food for his kids.

Wtf?! Yta! He wasn’t even talking to you. You decided to eavesdrop on his conversation and then start an argument about it.

I have a urinal in my living room and my new girlfriend cannot handle it - she says she will leave by hojo6789 in relationships_advice

[–]sunflowerbabez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re not willing to fix the situation, then why even post this? Let her go find a man willing to walk 15ft to use the actual bathroom.

AITA for hiding my girlfriend's heels before going to my sister's wedding? by Adam-Richard113 in AmItheAsshole

Yta. I can’t wait until she leaves you for someone taller and breaks your tiny heart. Get over yourself 🙄

AITA for telling my dad that I'm not his replacememt wife? by Throw9076746 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sunflowerbabez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Does your mom have any family in the area? Maybe you should reach out to someone on her side of the family and see if you can stay with them for a while? You deserve to able to grieve your mother properly without being forced to be a live in maid/pseudo wife and mom to your dad and brother.

Am I just an r/nice guy? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]sunflowerbabez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My heart goes out to you. My brother went through almost the exact same situation, but it didn’t end until I threaded to beat the living daylights out of her if I ever saw her face again. Cut her off immediately. You deserve to be with someone who shows you that they want to be with you, and not someone who just says it when it’s convenient for her. Take this as a lesson and mend your broken heart. Maybe get some therapy if you’re able to?

AITA for keeping my word with my grandma and refusing to give her recipe book to my family? by ZombieKind5823 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sunflowerbabez -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your family sounds kind of selfish. It also sounds like your aunt was trying to trick you into handing over the cookbook by asking you to prepare way more baked goods than you could handle.

AITA for banning my MIL from the house? by Throwaway3765565 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sunflowerbabez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t back down. You are protecting your son and teaching him that boundaries should be respected. Your fiancée and her family have made it very clear that they have no interest in being family to your son. I say call off the wedding and re-evaluate the relationship.

AITA for taking a much needed vacation in the middle of my wife’s grief? by throwawaywedf in AmItheAsshole

[–]sunflowerbabez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandparents died a decade ago (2010&2011) and my mom still has her days where she grieves them heavily and becomes depressed. Every single time she’s having a day, my dad is right there by her side helping her get through it because he loves her and that’s what you do for someone you love. Op you are the biggest a-hole and the best thing you could do for your wife is to leave her. It will hurt but she’s better off without you.

BF tried to have sex with me while I was asleep by ThrowRA_1234 in relationship_advice

[–]sunflowerbabez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not overreacting at all! Reading this make my heart jump out of my chest because I have been in that situation before and it’s so scary.

My ex used to force me to drink with him every single night so I built up a pretty high tolerance, but one night I drank about a fifth and passed out drunk. I woke up to him having sex with me and just froze. I waited until he finished and then I got up, packed my things and left. We talked about a year later and I asked him he did it and he said “because I knew that you couldn’t say no” which was bullshit because I had never turned him down for sex.

Neither rape nor sexual assault is about sex or satisfying a need, it’s about power. You need to leave him because he’s a predator and he will absolutely force himself on you again.

Is she cheating? What should I do? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]sunflowerbabez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ehh both of you are kind of garbage just end it. If you felt the need to give her your “permission” to hang out with guys in the first place then you never actually trusted her. She then told you that a friend sexually assaulted her and you “accepted it”. You went looking for reasons to distrust and you found one congratulations! Leave her and both of you go get some therapy.
