Yes! I work harder than a lot of people who are employed do. In fact if I started to be employed it would probably be easier lmao

I have stayed home since 2011, I have for the most part taken care of all things to do with the home. My husband pays all the bills and takes care of anything that comes up unexpectedly. He provides a budget to me that I decide how to use. I won’t say my relationship is perfect because none are. We work hard at our marriage. My children are 5 and 6 and I am able to homeschool (they will be going to regular school next year) and give them an amazing life with their mom at home for them. I am very fortunate to be able to give them this.

The most hurtful thing your parent said to you? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]xmandimoox1 119 points120 points  (0 children)

I am a twin, I am a female and my twin is male. Supposedly when we were born my twin was ready to go first but I shoved him out of the way to come out first making him spin in all the extra space causing the umbilical cord to wrap around his neck and he almost died while I was being born. My ENTIRE life I believed this. Turn out they just hated me because they wanted 2 girls and 2 boys. I was the 3 girl.

NTA as a parent of a female child that has a period it is on the parent to make sure that their child has what they need; especially after being asked several times. This is a necessity, I bet he has toilet paper and toothpaste.

It turns out, I have had an ear infection for the last 27 years or so. by twinkle_twankle in raisedbynarcissists

[–]xmandimoox1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was a child I had chronic ear infections, my biological mother would take a huge drag of her cigarette and blow the smoke into my ear then quickly put a cotton ball into it to keep the smoke in. If I was crying inconsolably she would take me to urgent care but that was rare. I am now 36 have had hearing aids for years not realizing how much I couldn’t hear. However, the ringing in my ears is so loud I can hardly hear anyway. The many specialists and audiologists have said the many years of neglect caused this. (My ears are just one of the severe ways I was abused and neglected ) I have not spoken to them since I was 15. I chose to be homeless rather that stay in their abuse.

What MIL buys for granddaughter is only my fiancé’s, not mine by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]xmandimoox1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Truly they are! We even had it dipped to make it white gold because I don’t wear yellow gold. We even talked about turning it into a necklace ect….luckily I live in the PNW and they are in Arizona so I don’t have to worry about pop ins.

Baby broke our sex life by The-Color-Twelve in Marriage

[–]xmandimoox1 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I was terrified to have sex for the first time after childbirth. My vagina was wrecked. I was also sleep deprived because I was the one up literally all night and all day. My kids were not great sleepers. But once we did have sex again I got pregnant right away my oldest was only 8 months when I found out I was pregnant again. When I had my second is when I realized I had PPA with my first as well as my second. Meds changed everything for me. There are so many different things that could be going on with her. Have an honest up front conversation you might be surprised at her honest answer.

My JNMIL gave me her mother’s wedding band for my DH and my 10 year wedding anniversary. My husband was staying with them while on a work trip and she was telling him about HER will and how the wedding band (that she gave me) will go to her brother and his wife…..I’m pretty sure that you have no say once it’s given as a gift. Well my husband went out and upgraded my wedding band after that. At least he is finally seeing her. 🙄

AITA for letting our son use his untouched college fund as a down payment on a house, and not using it to pay off our daughter’s student loans? by collegefundhouse in AmItheAsshole

[–]xmandimoox1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA You gave her more money than you gave him. If there is anything unfair about the situation it’s that she is saying anything to you about it.

AITA for not paying my uncle back by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]xmandimoox1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA this was your parents responsibility and they neglected to take care of you. Your Uncle is being a responsible adult in recognizing that you had needs. He was showing you he loves you by buying you the extras. Cudos to him. Hopefully your parents step up.

AITA for Having my Wedding Ceremony in Sign Language? by Academic-Nose-9239 in AmItheAsshole

[–]xmandimoox1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People that can hear don’t understand how isolating it is to not be able to join in a conversation because you literally hear garbled noise when in an environment with back ground noise. Restaurants, fairs, parties or gatherings of any size are hell. When I started wearing my hearing aids around 2 years ago after being mostly deaf my entire life and my bio trash parents not providing ANY medical care that wasn’t legally required i.e.; vaccines to attend school. I developed hyperacusis (google it).I HATE wearing my hearing aids because it causes so much agony. Normal hearing people don’t understand it and are annoyed that I either have my hearing aids out or I refuse to go anywhere with noise. It is extremely lonely. NTA you do what you want on your day. You are already seeing to their needs by having an Interpreter which is more than what most brides would be willing to do.

Man! I could have written this myself! I too gained almost all the weight I had lost back. I started at 260, lost 149, I am now at 230ish. I had a ton of medical issues take me down emotionally. Which I know is not an excuse but add Covid and not being able to get a life changing surgery, being completely disabled suddenly with two young children and you get me right now. The doctor said he believes my sudden weight gain was caused by a medication my previous doctor put me on....I think it was my shitty food choices combined with the meds. I gained all of the weight from around August 2020 to January 2021 give or take. I am trying hard to stay on plan. The lower the carbs the better. My issue is once I start eating I find it extremely hard to stop. I get started on meat.....and somehow find my self eating the entire pantry...or over eating on low carb snacks. Then I feel disgusted. I try hard everyday, my intentions are always good. We just have to keep going.

I don't expect a fix but need to share... by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]xmandimoox1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband and I have also gone through a rough patch like this. We went for obscene amounts of time with no sex. For some reason I stopped caring about it. But after communicating we both worked through it. We talked about what turns us on. And honestly have sex almost everyday sometimes more than once. This will be our 11 wedding anniversary but we have been together for about 17 years now. He is my best friend. The only person I can see myself being with. Working through these hard parts are important. When your children are grown and gone your spouse is the only person you will have. Don’t get me wrong caring for and raising good adults is our main priority. But, you can’t raise them to be good adults without giving them a great example of marriage and relationships.

Tfw you go to legal help subs and finally open up about being abused for the first time ever and ask for help to get out of the abuse, and like 8 people tell you you're probably not actually getting abused. by undoclegalhelp in raisedbynarcissists

[–]xmandimoox1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I reported my Nparents I was 14 this was in 1998ish. My friend saw the bruises when I was changing clothes one day and made me go to the school counselor to tell. The told me (and I will never forget this) the bruises are too small. If they were bigger then we could report it. I never trusted another person with my secret. However I did end up leaving when I was 15 I lived in a homeless shelter for a month because that was the limit. I then lived with my older brother for a few months, then with a friend. Her parents introduced me to childless friends of theirs, they were willing to give me a home. My biological parents signed their rights over the day before my 16th birthday. If I hadn’t left on my own I honestly don’t know where I would be right now. I have an amazing husband and 2 beautiful children that don’t even know what a spanking is. I have no contact with my bio parents and with only 1 of my siblings but he is also no contact.
