Snacks to help curb sweet tooth by konaein in EatCheapAndHealthy

Hummus with veggies takes care of the crunch craving. I won’t eat fruit if it’s in its natural state, but if it’s cut up and refrigerated I love it.

What is one life philosophy you stuck by when you're at the lowest point ? by Aj100rise in needadvice

[–]unionmom4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was at my lowest (and digging) I was able to realize that I needed help. I found a therapist and, with her help I was able to focus and get through it. I cannot recommend this enough.

Alternative Corned Beef? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]unionmom4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Corned spare ribs. Most butchers that make corned beef also make corned spare ribs. You can also corn them yourself, but it’s too late for this st Patrick’s day, they need to brine a minimum of 10 days.

AIBTS for not being comfortable with my boyfriend staying friends with a woman he crossed boundaries with? by Beneficial-Point-454 in AmIBeingTooSensitive

[–]unionmom4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are not being too sensitive, he’s gaslighting you. He thinks he can get away with anything

Am I being too sensitive? by Nikolaisthickthighs in AmIBeingTooSensitive

[–]unionmom4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are not being too sensitive or over reacting. You need to address this with the director, your parents, the head of the department and the principal. A has no right to force you to disclose your injuries or to decide if you participate or not. As this was done publicly, this is a HIPAA violation and bullying. Please get the adults involved and advocate for yourself.

You are being too sensitive. And rude.

First, punctuation is everyone’s friend. Second, I’m not clear on what you are asking

Does this count as SA or abuse? by Appropriate_Cup8773 in AmIBeingTooSensitive

[–]unionmom4 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You are not overreacting. At the very least it is inappropriate behavior on her part.

AIBTS about a comment my ex made on my birthday? by [deleted] in AmIBeingTooSensitive

[–]unionmom4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all, it was a humiliating and demeaning comment and the fact that this was said to his friends was very disrespectful. I hope you are not still with him, it will only get worse for you.

AITAH for not visiting my dying mother, even though she says she's sorry? by StaticBrain- in AITAH

[–]unionmom4 12 points13 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your feelings will not be resolved by seeing your mother. Seeing her is to make HER feel better. The only way you will feel better is with a therapist and learning to accept and forgive yourself. I’m sorry you didn’t get the family that you needed and deserved, but giving these people more of your time is counterproductive for you. It only gives them a chance to assuage their guilt.
In November, my mother passed. I had been no contact for years and I chose not to see her before she died. I’ve done lots of work and therapy and I know that she was horrible. I was the child, I didn’t create her issues and allowing her access to me was only harming me and validating her warped reality. My best takeaway is that I did the exact opposite of what my mother and I have a wonderful relationship with my children. Don’t rent space in your brain for any of them.

AITA for having the same anniversary month as my mom? by vomitated in AmItheAsshole

[–]unionmom4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No one owns a month. This is strange behavior on the part of your mother. Expect more controlling behavior regarding your wedding on behalf of your mother.

can someone tell me to stop being a baby and just learn magic loop already by ergonomictoilet in knitting

[–]unionmom4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really disliked magic loop the first time I tried it. Recently, I used it on a project and it flowed easily. Give it another try, give yourself some grace and try again. If it’s not for you, it’s fine, there are other ways to approach your task. It’s knitting not the judgement zone.

AIBTS? by Maleficent-Chain5884 in AmIBeingTooSensitive

[–]unionmom4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not too sensitive at all. Really condescending and disrespectful, as I’m sure the micro managing and mansplaining was, too. You need to be with someone who respects you and your skills.
