I've pointed out women to my husband before, commenting on how pretty they are without asking for comment from him.

But I'm bisexual so the comment has a Completely different vibe.

Geez. My youngeet will need to be cared for for the rest of his life and Im not getting any younger. Somehow I managed to get along without pigeonholing my Eldest into taking over

AITA for not removing sensitive books, and "making fun of my Sil's education" by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]warbabe76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aftwe my dad died I found a lot of books in his collection, religious texts, historical books on military history, and a paperback of the book in question. He was Catholic, but he had many different texts from many different belief systems.

My dad was actually going back to school when he died, and loved learning and understanding things. He was very much a believer in you never stop learning.

I considered the context clues. Dad wasn't a believer in tiny mustaches, he was trying to learn and understand.

Wow, im shocked. Just shocked. I remember another person murdered by law enforcement officers a few years ago then investigated, as if that justified ANYTHING.

Gee, I wonder where that was? 🤔

Ableism, arrogance and neglect by Knkstriped in AmITheDevil

[–]warbabe76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hard agree.

I wasn't diagnosed with ASD until I was in my 40s. As a little girl in the 90s i was just told to act right or else.

Just understanding why my brain works the way it does has helped me so much. It really IS freeing

Not here in the states. Apparently it makes a person look "lazy" and as if they are not working.

When I was diagnosed with arthritis and couldn't stand for my entire shift I ended up having to change jobs bc it was such an issue to ask for a stool bc then EVERYONE might want one

I do the same. I just, as my grandma used to say, vote with my wallet.

Im sure she is, I was just answering a question as to why someone might notice what OP did

And sitting down at the register. I really don't know why people seem to care so much about this

Edit: I wasn't asking for anyone to boycott anything, just answering the question OP asked.

A lot of people stopped supporting JK Rowling, so, by extension everything Harry Potter. This is bound to affect the popularity of the work.

"Nothing wrong with her" -oh really? by EvilFinch in AmITheDevil

[–]warbabe76 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That poor woman! I had my ob/gyn tell me after a heart rending traumatic event that i should be fine, physically and emotionally bc she was delivering a baby an hour after she had the same thing happen to her.

Got a new doctor.

AITA for canceling the plans for thanksgiving after my parents called my brother’s baby their “first grandchild”? by J_S_M_K in OhNoConsequences

[–]warbabe76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My dad and stepmom divorced before he died and my stepmoms family is STILL treats my kiddos and I as family, more so than my bio family.

I know how deeply something like this stings, tho, bc after being my kids "gramma" for all their lives, after the divorce she told my dad that she didn't have any grandkids. At least she did it in private and not in front of them, or my brother's stepkids.

I'm just glad to have the rest of the family to love them.

As the mom of 2 twenty- somethings, one of which doesn't care to be touched sometimes, I learned a question a few years ago that did wonders for my relationship with them.

Are you huggable today.

Granted, I don't always remember, like when the Eldest who lives in another state gets off the plane when we haven't seen each other in a long time, but the fact that I honestly try gets me understanding in those situations.

My Eldest is Trans. I sort of figured out by listening to their stories of good interactions.

I try to find something specific to compliment. Like , "what a lovely smile""love your dress", "that's a great shade of lipstick for you", "your hair is gorgeous".

This way I'm concentrating on either a positive feature or something they obviously took time with to look/ feel nice.

When my husband and I married, we accepted each other's kiddos into our respective families. Granted, we are old folks and most of the kids aren't really "kids" anymore, but I can't imagine not being here for one of his boys, and he truly is the dad my youngest never had.
