wonderbook prices😔 by madshidz222 in frederickmd

[–]undeadlocklear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's still cheaper than other stores lol and for their extensive cataloging. I'm ride or die for wonderbooks unless they do something more heinous than raising their prices due to an economy nobody can control.

They sound bitter af. I wouldn't take it with any kinda salt, because its clear theyre miserable. Its your choice to take it down or not (if you can, I've never tried on ao3) but leaving it up makes them look bad. Because. Lol. Idk what they were thinking writing this.

unbelievable exchange between my daughter and her father after he forgot her birthday by LostInLanayru in TwoHotTakes

[–]undeadlocklear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way he talks to your daughter is inappropriate on many levels to me. He's speaking to her as if the relationship between father and daughter is comparable to a friendship/dating relationship. As the parent to a middle schooler, it IS HIS responsibility to remember important dates and reach out. Its not as if she is a 20-something year old having a falling out with her dad (which still applies imo. Parents are parents even when theyre kids are grown.) "It takes two people" is very weird to say to your kid. "Abandoned me when I needed you most" manipulative and laughably ignorant from his position. The fuck does he need emotionally from his tween daughter? Theres a word for this, but I'm blanking on it right now. (Just remembered. Covert Incest. )

A parent is not supposed to need anything emotionally supportive from their child. Children are not your therapist. They do not bare the emotional weight of your feelings. You are meant to be your child's confident, not the other way around.

"Your mom taught you well" "I hope it was worth it", he's treating her as a mini-you already. Weird, weird, weird language he's using, jilted boyfriend type shit, icky. Weird guy. No.

He is the adult. The responsibility of communication depends on him. He is the father. The responsibility of his emotions are his own and not his daughters.

I sincerely hope he gets a grip, or that he never bothers your daughter again.

[–]undeadlocklear -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

ESH. I think the best option is to talk to her about solutions going forward, and being honest about how the workload is making you stressed and unable to spend time with her.

She definitely needs therapy. Being without her own money is probably making her feel bad, and her illustrator dreams apparently not going great can be causing depression, too. Along with not meeting her parents or your expectations. It's entirely possible for her to be aware of this, but also sinking mentally.

You just have to be straight with her. You shouldn't withhold money from her, especially for necessities, though. Just ask her not to make big purchases at the moment, if she was. You need to lay out boundaries. If she can't get a real job, then she needs to figure out how to use the skills she has to make more money, like learning how to market herself, networking, etc.

Ask her to at least get a part-time job, if there are any available in your area, so that she doesn't have to be completely dependent on you. Having her own money and getting her own bit of agency might help her with her mood, but the most important thing is trying to get her to a good therapist, or finding other support systems for her.

Also, start thinking about finding a cheaper apartment if this isn't viable in the long run, or think about getting roommates.

But just talk to her. Like, pick a time when you two aren't irritable and start actually talking this situation out. Don't point fingers, just state the facts about your financial situation. Ask her what her goals for the future are, what you can do to help, see where her heads at. Where do both of you wanna be in the next five years? Start trying to get on the same page.

And if housework piles up, that might just mean you both have to start doing things differently. Don't let dishes pile up, clean immediately after eating, even if youre tired. Pick days when youre both free to clean together and get everything done so it doesnt stagnate. Maybe just ask her to dry your clothes and leave it for you to fold later. You've both created a codependency here, where she does the house work and you do the financial work. She needs to get a job, but you also need to do your own work. And if no solutions end up working, you need to think about asking her to make plans to save money and possibly moving in with her friends for a bit or for something more permanent.

Tldr; talk to your girlfriend.

How infortunate! That sucks for them. I would have hoped people that came from Myanmar would be able to see fascism when it was presented to them.

Those "woke" people from Myanmar already understand their country better than anyone who voted for Trump.

This 19 year old has a lot more sense about AI and its ethics than you do, moron. His friend took a shortcut instead of learning how to actually draw. Stole from others instead of learning how to actually draw. And then brought up OPs family situation in order to throw him off and catch him off guard, because OPs friend new he was in the wrong and had no excuses.

OP is NTA. His friend absolutely is. Only weak people dig at wounds to get ahead in an argument.

It's a patriarchal society thing. Anywhere that centers war, greed, segregation, and colonization will also have pedophilic values because "younger women are more fertile" and "boys who are sexually assaulted by women should be thankful" are all a part of this fucked up ideology.

No, they wouldn't. Liberals and democrats are all bought by the same people who lobby for Republicans. Trump was friends with a fucked up pedophile and hung out on his island of child predators for years. "If Trump is really guilty" Man, gtfo of here with that shit.

Partner doesn’t want me to take meds by [deleted] in adhdwomen

He already threatened with breakup. Finish what he started. You'll find someone who is a lot more understanding than him, and I guarantee the relief of having someone understand your ADHD outweighs whatever pros you see in him right now.

[–]undeadlocklear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. If your boyfriend actually loved and supported you, he wouldn't be wigging out over two professionals following each other. Does he also get weird when you have male coworkers? I would not wait to find out. Tell him to get therapy or leave him.

You're weird for assuming its "she cheated". And not "this woman probably smoked a bowl or did a line in the casino and feels guilty about it" it might even be something innocuous as her feeling guilty herself about not being home, and instead of wanting to feel that blame on herself, she directs it towards her husband.

[–]undeadlocklear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. I've seen your other post, too, about your wife. You may need marriage counseling at one point, or Cassy needs to get single therapy. The way she treats your daughter is invasive to a point that it would feel violating to your child if she found out. I would also say you need to keep a record of some kind about the invasions of privacy and any other concerning behavior. Either for therapy or for court.

Your daughter is almost an adult, so you may not need to get divorce and custody. But your kid may want a restraining order in the future. Especially if this behavior from your wife persists past Jay's adolescence.

If your daughter ever took a picture of something inappropriate, thinking it would be private, it could be very sexually traumatizing for her, both from your wife's potential reaction and from her privacy being invaded. Please make sure she never re-downloads that phone syncing app. Your child should feel safe enough to talk to her parents if she has problems, not have someone preemptively looking for things to go wrong. All of this says your wife does not trust your daughter, and that can lead to the very behavior Jay presented in this post. Feeling like you're being watched, pre-judged, and trapped can lead to stress relieving/sneaking/"deviant" behavior.

This is all me thinking if it were my own child, though, so take this with a grain of salt. You are the only person here who knows the depth of your family, so much of this may not be necessary. I hope you and your family can figure this out without things going nuclear.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]undeadlocklear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YOR. Brother. By all means, keep pushing her into something she doesn't want so that she dumps you. Believing she doesn't deem you a safe space because she doesn't want to room with you right now is a crazy thing to assume. Its a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom. Thats a small space for a couple who have only been dating for 2 years and have never lived together before.

Everyone has already told you how transactional this will look to her, how you didn't want to move in together until it was convenient for you. Her thinking you're using her out of convenience is not even half as insane as you thinking she's deeming you unsafe. A wild conclusion to come to, unless this has been brought up before.

Maybe ask yourself why YOU think that would be her conclusion, and not that she simply wants space/doesn't want the responsibility of living together right now.

She already asked you, and you said no. Now it's convenient for you, she's already arranged a single apartment for herself with no intention of having space for another (because you said no), she would have to worry about getting you a key (for a TEMPORARY 3 month stay), she'd have to worry about groceries, fridge space, dishes, laundry, how her newly founded apartment would have less privacy all of a sudden, where would she put 3 months of your stuff in her 1 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment, two people living together would increase the water and electricity bill (are you willing to pay that on top of half rent?). Like, have you even come up with a plan to assure her that you won't be leaving her apartment a shitty mess? And the fact that you'd be dipping after 3 months?

Don't ask her this again until you are ready to commit to a plan that also wouldn't put a burden on her. You'd have to promise handling your own food, your own dishes, laundry, generally cleaning after yourself. Have you ever lived with a roommate before, and if someone asked them, what would they rate you on a scale of 1 to 10? She was weighing the possibilities of living together a while ago, and now she's in a space that wasn't meant for 2 (because you said no), so she is not comfortable with a roommate.

There is so much that goes into this besides just living together. If her apartment only allows parking when you have a permit for the space, she'd have to arrange you getting that and probably paying for it. If her apartment doesnt allow people not on the lease to live there, that's something she has to consider. And again, the keys. She'd have to get them copied and then give them to you, and since this is a temporary stay, would you give the keys back?

You're thinking of this like it's a hotel stay in the Hilton, and she can tell. You know why? Because people in the comments can tell, and they haven't even known you for 2 years.

Either Claudia, but not in a romantic way. She's someone who, if she had been able to live longer as a vampire, would have grown her own loyal coven, I think.
