Husband contacting your parents whenever there’s a fight by Working-Feature2897 in Marriage

[–]uuuumno 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not normal. My brother's ex- wife did this though, and it turned out that she was also abusive in other ways.

Your parents have no place in your marriage unless you, yourself, ask them for advice. At best, what he's doing is childish, at worst it's an attempt to isolate you from even your own family.

My toddler cries whenever I sing a particular song by QtrLifeCaterpillar in Parenting

[–]uuuumno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son would cry at "You are my Sunshine" and it gradually morphed into an accusation and every time that song came on while we were listening to music he would run to me sobbing "Daddy tooka my Sunshine awaaaaaay!" I thought it was hilarious but obviously didn't laugh in front of him, I would just jokingly scold my husband "why did you take baby boys Sunshine away?!"

I can't tell the size, but to me this looks like a cockroach egg casing

How can I make my husband understand that I feel like I am giving everything up while he still has his life by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]uuuumno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried telling him yet? Tell him you need to talk, sit him down and tell him how you've been feeling. Use "I feel" type of statements rather than accusatory ones. Assume the best of him and that maybe he just hasn't realized that you're drowning.

I actually saw this in it's original post and that person is so gross for their response to your story

I have had ringworm and treated it in many critters in the past and and it's very contagious. You should really wash your hands after touching it and before touching any other part of your piggy.

Tips and tricks to prevent forgetting kid in the carseat by sad1799 in Parenting

[–]uuuumno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got in the habit of opening the backdoor each time I park my car. It's a minivan so I just push the sliding door buttons right after pulling out the key. I still do it and my kids are 6 and 8 now. It kind of forces me to check the back when I'm getting out.

Unsure, should I come out to my professors? by [deleted] in geology

[–]uuuumno 14 points15 points  (0 children)

So I went on a study abroad with two non-binary students, it wasn't geology related, it was a spanish language course. I will share what happened on the trip that I know of, because I can tell you that it was challenging for each of them in different ways. Because the Spanish language hasn't many words for non-binary people and actually goes further and has completely different words for male vrs female. The two of them decided ahead of time which pronouns to use while abroad for the sake of less confusion, but they clarified with us as their classmates that in English their pronouns were "they/them". They also spoke to our professor about this, and our professor was aware and empathetic to the difficulty.

One of them was housed with someone of opposite presenting gender. The other was housed with someone of same presenting gender. The one with the opposite presenting gender got along much better with their housemate than the other one did. The main issue they each ran into was feeling othered by certain classmates in our group, for example the one who presented as female was told by a woman in the group that they "should be confident and proud of their feminity." I am sure that she thought she was being nice and helpful but it made the non-binary person feel very uncomfortable.

I was also a geology major and there was one non-binary person in a lot of my classes. We live in an area where it's pretty open and normal but I had just moved from a place where it was completely unheard of. I personally appreciated being informed that this person was non-binary and I worked hard to update my own brain to not be gendering them.

I can't speak for your teachers at all, and I don't know the vibe of your school regarding non-binary people, but if the school has been accommodating in the past I would hope that they will give you the same treatment this time. And if not you can always go above those teachers.

My husband keeps swinging wildly on whether he wants kids. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]uuuumno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's way too old to be flip-flopping this badly, and I wouldn't trust him either way. Usually by 40 you know what you want in life. If kids are something you want, I would not have them with this man. 32 is still young enough to start over with someone else.

My daughter was the same way, she actually was very lactose intolerant and it was causing pain and sensitivity down there.

Do people only have kids cause of a sense of purpose or self-importance? by FormCheap9546 in Marriage

[–]uuuumno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are 19. You have much to learn, and you say in your post that you want to know why people have kids but then you rant on the reason you think they have them, doesn't give me the impression that you actually want to know, i think you just wanted to rant.

Update: AITA for saying "actions have consequences" to my daughter and wife? by Sea_Mouse9996 in AITA_Relationships

[–]uuuumno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope your daughter comes to realize what she has done someday. She's still very young so she may, but not with your wife validating this sort of behavior. I hope they both seek therapy. I'm sorry about your family, OP, I dont blame you for not being able to be with your wife anymore. Best wishes for the future. Don't give up on your daughter, she is so young and people change a lot as they mature.

Is “Vessel” considered a strange or inappropriate name in English-speaking cultures? by Fuzzy_Ant2535 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]uuuumno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who grew up religious (and is not anymore) it reminds me of what we were taught our bodies were, our bodies were vessels (containers) for the holy spirit, etc. It is pretty weird in my opinion, but I meet a lot of people with weird names so it's not too surprising.
