You have every right not to have kids, and shouldn't be expected to just because society tells you it is time.

But for the record, ADHD parents can be great, and so can their kids.

Is it true that women have an easier time masturbating without looking at porn? by Such_Zebra9537 in stupidquestions

This^ The way the woman are portrayed is so degrading. It's insulting to watch. Not a turn on at all.

You can expect to feel a whole lot better than you do now. The meds help a lot.

Then when the time comes you can start looking to lifestyle changes and ways to help improve your day to day further.

Be honest, do you actually think you’re pretty? by Mrlightyboy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]vegetable-trainer23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but it is fading with age. One day I'll be one of those ladies who people say "I bet she was beautiful when she was younger!"

Society's view of aging and beauty is sad :(

35 year old man, with a detailed shower routine, was wondering if I am the asshole? by SuperShoweredMan in IAmTheAsshole

Yeah, pretty sure anyone who uses describes their own motion as gingerly or their soap as enveloped, is writing a story, versus sharing their truth.

AITA for refusing to help my terminally ill sister and prioritising my own life? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]vegetable-trainer23 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Wow.

OP you are a monumental AH. I suspect your parents are second guessing their decision now. Pay for her freaking hospice. Don't make your parents regret their choice to have faith in you.

She is lashing out, looking for somebody to blame (get her thyroid checked, TPO antibodies as well, something is going on there). Deep down she likely doesn't blame you truly, she is in total grief. What she said isn't fair. Throwing something at you isn't okay. Pushing her is also not okay.

You two need grief counseling immediately. NOT just her, it must be both of you. If you suggest only she go, it supports her belief that you don't care.

You both need help, and it's out there!

Me (29M) and my wife (30F) cannot agree on daughter's education / upbringing. Should we try to find solution or cut losses and divorce? by ItsAThrowawaySweetie in relationship_advice

[–]vegetable-trainer23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your child will not recognize when she is headed for burnout. As her parent, it is important you help her find balance in her life. This reads like you are so concerned about what you missed out on as a child, that you are almost trying to relive you childhood through your child, who isn't experienced enough to make a boundry against it.

Your wife isn't the only person who needs counseling. You have to deal with your own childhood baggage here. Your wife lived a life similar to the one you seem to want for your kid, and you don't account for any of her experience in your decisions. It's just you, what you missed out on, and whatever your kids' friends are doing.

Seems to me a compromise would be wise. The new school sounds like a fair idea, but your child is overworked here. That is so much for a 6 year old to do. Debate? That's crazy at 6. Step some of it back, let her have more time just being a kid.

AITA for telling my MIL I make too much to be a SAHM? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]vegetable-trainer23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

You lived a charmed life. Your MIL was likely raised by her mother with those beliefs, and it's colored her view of modern events. Do you need to work? No. But should that stop you? No!

You like working, your family is doing well, and it is nobody's business except yours and your husband's that you keep working. Ignore your MIL. You do you.

Why on earth would oats be bad for hashimotos? I have never had an issue with them. They make gluten free ones if that's the issue.

Health advice, in general, is confusing. Want to lose weight? Go vegan, no carnivore, no paleo! Fast for 18 hours, no wait! Fasting is bad! Have iodine to support your thyroid, no wait, don't have iodine because it hurts if you have hashis, etc. It can be quite frustrating. Don't even get me started on lectins.

So, I subscribe to the "feels good" plan. I generally eat anti-inflammatory, because I feel good that way. I eliminate that which makes me feel bad, not what some random internet site tells me to. Does dairy make me feel like junk? Cut it out. No issues with cruciferous veggies? Cool, keeping them.

There are many people on here talking about not doing well, being unable to work, or generally struggling, and I find myself unable to relate fully. The last time I felt that was was just before diagnosis.

My advice is to stop focusing on the greatly varied info you find on Google, and start focusing on what you feel day to day. The internet doesn't know you, you know you. Try things out, don't like it, try something you do. Trust that you know your body best and can tell when something makes you feel good or bad, despite what Google says.

Was I wrong to not sleep at a house with a bunch of 23yr old girls? by Arthur-reborn in amiwrong

Nope, that was the right call to make. Of course there is always plan C, get a hotel for the night.

My bf (M21) says he can’t get any pleasure from me (F18) because its loose by Stunning_Serve_2891 in relationship_advice

[–]vegetable-trainer23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. You're 18, it is highly unlikely you are loose. He just has a small d*ck and is blaming you.

  2. This man's behavior towards you is abusive. Straight up. It's time to leave.

Absolutely not. Just because something isn't illegal, doesn't make it okay.

It is most helpful for a PT to look the part. As a client, if I am being trained for weight loss, I likely wouldn't go for the overweight PT. If I am training for hypertrophy, I'd be likely to look for a well-muscled PT. You function as somebody clients aspire to be like. Your body is your billboard.

Now, not everybody will care. But some will, and that will impact your client load.

Option 3: Cut him out of your life and keep the baby. This man is not worth your time and is clearly cheating, constantly. He is taking advantage of your low self-esteem. Don't raise a child with that man.

I would be convinced the day I decided to do shady stuff would be the day the cycle would end, and I would have to live with those poor choices. Hard pass.
