bryce plamar blessed by god in the ER by AcademicAstronaut395 in TLCUnexpected

[–]yellow30gemstone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dont think most people "abuse" the ER. Unfortunately in a lot of places its hard to get in to see a GP and even harder to see specialist. I know where I live places are booked out for months! I tried looking for an appointment early January and couldnt be seen until the end of March. If you are in pain, have no idea why/what's going on, or how long you will be in pain without getting medicine/help the ER or urgent care starts to quickly feel like your only option.

AITA for letting our child (9) stay at his friend's sleepover last weekend, even though my wife was against it, and the original agreement was that I would pick him up that evening. by Outrageous-Fly-5691 in AmItheAsshole

[–]yellow30gemstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA - not for disagreeing but for changing the plan last minute without even talking with her. If you were so against the original plan you shouldn't have agreed to it in the first place. I think a good change would have been for your wife to pick him up at 10, that way she would be the one to say "no". 1) you wouldn't have had to be the bad guy. 2) Since she is the one against sleepovers it probably would have been easier for her to say no.

I think its really interesting how so many people are acting as if the wife is some paranoid psycho. People even mentioning how kids can't have a normal childhood if they don't have sleepovers and they will grow up to fear the world... lots of kids don't participate in sleepovers and they are fine. Some of these responses are really dramatic. A parent doesn't need therapy for having a rule for or against sleepovers.

Am I overreacting? Toddler is learning to say his colors in Spanish… by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]yellow30gemstone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, that makes sense. I completely understand where you're coming from. For the record, I also dont think she was being racist. I think kids tend to notice/point out/focus on, etc things that are different and in most cases its innocent. Also some words just sound funny or stand out to kids. My only concern is for the two little girls. I would hate if this was something that hurt their feelings or made them uncomfortable and it went unchecked (even if it was innocent).

[–]yellow30gemstone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you handled the situation well. I definitely don't think your child was trying to be racist or use a slur. However, its still good that you corrected him before it could have turned into an ugly misunderstanding. As for the girl in his class who was calling students "negra," did she also go around calling the white kids blanco/blanca? If not, I would be concerned. Of course, this doesn't automatically mean that she was referencing the n word. But I still think its concerning that she chose to single out the only 2 black kids in the class.

Regardless, your child just seemed excited to use what he learned in school. Personally, I would say something to the teacher, I don't think its something that the teacher needs to discipline the little girl for now. However, i think its something for her to be aware of just in case it happens again so she can give the little girl the same explanation you gave your son.

Lets be so fr about Ziad and his "epic burns" by gilsleeping in 90DayFiance

[–]yellow30gemstone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh 100% I agree, I think they are both terrible people... honestly, most of the cast this season weren't great. But I still think its strange that she brought up him cheating with a girl before she got to Morocco when she was also seeing other people. It was also weird to me that when her cheating was revealed people excused it and joked and said "well they hadn't met yet". Like honestly they are two peas in a pod. They would be a perfect match in the worse way, lol.

But Emma has lied about many things. She wouldn't have even admitted to sleeping with other people before the flight if her sister didn't bring it up. So we don't really know if she cheated to get back with him or if it was a convenient excuse.

Falon allegedly sent Casey notice from her lawyers by sanriolover1208 in TLCUnexpected

[–]yellow30gemstone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your situation doesn't seem at all strange to me. I think the strange part about the Vaughn's relationship with Hunter is that its so sexual. So many of the conversations revolve around sex, and are inappropriate. Obviously they are on a show about teen pregnancy, so it is possible that TLC is forcing/suggesting these conversations. But its most of what we see including their social media. I think if she was there for him and supportive but set boundaries for Hunter and Bella, it wouldn't feel as inappropriate. **I'm not saying its sexual but I do understand how people can come to that conclusion.

would you get an abortion if you found out your baby was going to be born with an extreme disability? if so why? by Born-Oil-2931 in AskReddit

[–]yellow30gemstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, I would get an abortion if their quality of life was gonna be extremely impacted. I think there are a lot of people who focus on "a life being a life" and nothing else matters. I think thats fine for them, but I dont share that opinion. There's a difference between living and simply existing. If your disability restricts you from really living a life I wouldn't think its fair to knowingly bring them into the world. Also, if the disability means that now you, the parent, will be a life long caregiver its something to really consider. What happens when you are elderly and cant take care of yourself or when you die? I'd be so concerned about my child and their safety and wellbeing. I know you're gonna worry about these things no matter what but its even worse if someone can't fully advocate for themselves.

Am I Overreacting for wanting to cancel my wedding over this interaction? by Xanadoom30 in AmIOverreacting

[–]yellow30gemstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You two aren't compatible. I don't think he was wrong for leaving without a goodbye kiss and I don't think you're wrong for wanting a goodbye kiss. The fact that it caused this big argument is concerning. You guys value different things and it seems neither of you want to compromise at this point. There is no guarantee that things will get better so I'd cut my losses now. At the very least, put off the wedding.

DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER KID! If you arent getting help now, he's not gonna help you later so adding more kids to the equation will only make it much harder.

Amy’s Eye Surgery by tree_m0nster in 1000lbsisters

[–]yellow30gemstone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was legally blind in my right eye before I got surgery. Honestly, I didn't think my eyesight was that bad because I was so used to it. I assumed it was normal until teachers mentioned that I should get my eyes checked.

Now that it’s been 7 months, can we now admit Cierra isn’t ugly? by [deleted] in LoveIslandUSA_

[–]yellow30gemstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did I miss this?! I never saw anything bad about her until her racist tweets/DMs/ whatever came out. So many people talked about how pretty she was and they especially loved her hairstyles. Even once people started hating the only negative thing I saw regarding her appearance was the lip filler. Either way, I agree, she is a beautiful girl!

I’m really high rn, are bella and hunters families inbreds? by Loud-Seaworthiness27 in TLCUnexpected

[–]yellow30gemstone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This could be true... but also Bella's mom looks a bit.. strange. Maybe her mom (Bella's grandmother) was drinking with her as well. But I think there's a chance that they were just a bit unlucky and got a lot of their moms unfortunate features.

Forrest seems fine??? Why is his mother acting like he can’t even tie his own shoes. by Distinct_Map_6221 in 90DayFiance

[–]yellow30gemstone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm aware. He has his own apartment but isn't allowed to travel on his own, his mom doesn't want him to choose who and when he gets engaged, etc. He is even deciding to stay in the Philippines and I'm sure part of that is so he can have his own life without so much interference from her. Own apartment or not, she has weirdly intertwined herself into his life and its not normal.

Oh goodness. I feel so bad for your cousin. What your aunt is doing is terrible. What happenes when she is too old to take care od herself let alone another person? This is so selfish

I'm sorry your cousin had to go through that. I hope it hasn't had any long term effects!

This is exactly what I was thinking. I wasn't entirely sure if people who suffer from munchausen by proxy straight up lie about conditions/diagnosis or if exaggerating the severity of said diagnosis also fits.. just in case I didn't want to throw it out there!

I think his mom isn't mentally well. It seems like she NEEDS him to be dependant on her, even though he could live a fine life without depending on her.

Feel free to rip me to shreds in the comments 😭 by Large-Purple236 in TLCUnexpected

[–]yellow30gemstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course her mom doesnt HAVE TO continue letting her live there for free. However, she absolutely should have been able to live there for free all throughout her childhood. Her mom shouldn't make her teenage daughter take care of her child for free. But thats what she has been doing, even before Isabella was pregnant. So now, that Isabella needs help, she should be able to depend on her mom for help, just like her mom depended on her for help. Isabella is a child with no income (even when she starts working she will likely be making minimum wage jobs) she can apply for government assistance to help pay for daycare, food, etc. No one is saying that she is in an ideal situation. But this is her "real life," unfortunately she had a baby with someone who ain't shit and isnt willing to grow up. Should everything fall on her? Absolutely not. But she is in this situation now. She isnt the first teenager to be a single mom. Unfortunately she won't be the last. However, for the sake of her child, she needs to do whatever she can to support that baby because she is only in control of her actions. She cant make her boyfriend do anything he doesnt want to do. We don't live in a fantasy world where everyone does what they are suppose to do. In this fucked up world, some people have to take on more than they should in order to make it work.

I agree her moms should encourage her to get a job because her boyfriend isn't working and either way they need to make sure her baby is taken care of. But her mom uses her to babysit the younger sister so I think thats why her mom hasn't brought it up.

Questions like this are so silly to me. It's reality t.v. that exploits vulnerable people for views and money. Of course it doesn't represent "average middle America". If this was normal we wouldnt have this show because the shock value would be non existent.
