Tears In A Vial
Jan 13, 2008

quote:

I never get mad or annoyed at children who are acting up, being loud or obnoxious or are generally pains in the asses. I have trained myself to remember that it's not the kid's fault - it's their parents fault. For whatever reason, maybe they're too busy taking selfies, or not engaging in their children enough, but a child acting up is (in most cases) due to lack of parenting.

Anyway, my girlfriend & I are at a local pub/restaurant yesterday having a quick lunch, when this mom and her 2 young children are at a table literally next to us. The mom spent most of the time staring at her phone (on instagram) telling her 1 kid to "shhh, keep coloring" because he kept talking & trying to get her attention. I could tell he was getting restless, so I did what I normally do in this situation. I egged him on, and got him hyped up.

My girlfriend knew what was coming so she pleaded with me to stop, but NOPE. It too late. I had ordered chicken fingers & fries, so loud enough for the kid to hear I said "READY??? HERE COMES THE AIRPLANE READY TO LAND... VROOOOOOOM" and flew french fries into my mouth. As my girlfriend shielded her face in embarrassment, the kid was amused by this, and for the first time was a bit quiet. I did it again, and again, and then I said the magical words - "OMG THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!" and that's when the magic happened. the kid started doing that with his crayons, but not only sitting, he decided to stand up and run around the seating area with his crayons. I didn't stop, I kept flying those drat french fries into my mouth! Mom caught on to what I was doing, looked over & said "nice.. Nice... way to encourage him" (with an rear end in a top hat whispered) on the end. I responded with "I don't know what you're talking about, i'm just doing my job as air traffic controller" . My girlfriend apologized continuously, but it was too late. The kid was amped up.

Luckily for him, mom had to control him by being a parent for the rest of the day. She had to put her phone away, and interact with the kid. The kid was pretty well behaved after that.

The other kid (daughter) spent the whole time coloring. She looked a bit older so I assume she was used to being forgotten about by her parents.

TLDR: Made a parent put down their phone & be a parent today

Strong stroll for a mangy stray

This is why my mom and dad got divorced. Well, that and the fact that my dad is gay, but I often wonder which element contributed more to the divorce. Which should let you know how destructive nitpicking random minor failures is to a relationship

I've met very few moms that weren't like this to some extent. Usually their husbands are either totally on-board and equally prone to criticize and lecture or else they are totally chill and passive and just let it wash over them, the product of years and years of experience and endurance. And then there's the third type of husband, the kind that had no idea what they were in for and respond to it with arguments and passive aggression and hatred followed by divorce.

In my experience people start arguing over stupid poo poo due to bigger issues that they are not addressing or are incapable of articulating, so the smallest stuff becomes a means to express their frustration.

I am reminded of the time a then girlfriend just blew the gently caress up because I gave an ice cube to my very excited labrador before putting some other cubes on her cup, because it apparently meant the dog was more important to me than her. We were in a really bad place.

I would say this is sometimes (or maybe often) true.

Sometimes, I do this a little bit just because I'm in a really poo poo mood and all of a sudden things that don't normally bother me are bothering me a whole lot. But it's crazy annoying, and I know it's crazy annoying because sometimes I'm the one on the receiving end. Usually right in the middle of me doing the whole bit I'm able to squeeze in a "don't listen to my bullshit right now I'm just in a bad mood you can ignore me" before I proceed with being a nitpicking oval office.

I'm also noticing that even outside of our relationship everything bothers him too. For instance, our neighbors didn't put their trash bins up a couple of days after the trash man came to empty them. That really upset him. He rolled their trash bins to the middle of their driveway so they couldn't pull their cars in until they put up their trash bins. I thought that was very dramatic and extremely passive aggressive.

this is a good way to get your face caved in

I've known some real good parents who still have some really poorly behaving kids.

It's often/usually bad parenting but it isn't always bad parenting. Some kids are just poo poo.

With my girlfriend at least, arguing over stupid poo poo usually seems to be just that - stupid poo poo, and it gets resolved within the day, so in this case, it doesn't extend beyond that... yet. :tinfoil:

But I'd otherwise definitely agree. Oftentimes it seems to come from having communicated something to the other, but a failure to resolve it (like because the other person just doesn't care) leading it to bleed over to other things because the other person knows/feels that trying to solve the main issue in question will be fruitless.

I have no mouth and I must post

quote:

My [27f] fiance [42] just starting following a friend of mine on Instagram, after seeing her and pointing out that she's "adorable" is this a redflag, or am I making something out of nothing?

Okay, I have been with Mark for 4 years, and we just recently got engaged..but honestly, we've both felt married for awhile now. Mark is an amazing guy..He was cheated on before, and he's very cautious and had a hard time trusting me in the beginning. He finally learned to do so, and eventually we have really become an amazing couple. I've never had reason to believe he'd cheat on me, and I never even have worried he would; which is why I'm here.

About 2 weeks ago I was showing Mark something on Instagram, and at that same time my "friend" (We met on Instagram, and only follow each other and so I don't know if it's exactly a friendship. But we talk alot so???) liked and commented on a picture I had posted. So while talking to Mark, I went ahead and saw what she said because I'd already shown him what I was going to.
When I looked, he could barely see the pic and said "Who is she?" and I told him, and he asked to see her profile and I showed him and he said "God, she's absolutely adorable." And I kinda was like..."........" and I said "Yeah, she is." and then took my phone back. I was sorta uncomfortable, but not really much. Mostly only because he's never done that.. He doesn't even openly say what celebrities he likes because according to him "He's too old to be getting stupid crushes, he's wanted to settle down for years" and so I was taken back a bit.

Today I went to my followers activity, and saw he liked a picture of her dog. And as most people might know, IG has a feature now where it says in someones bio if anyone you're following, is following the profile you're on. So I clicked on her, and sure enough, he was my ONE follower also following her. I brought it up to him, and he just said "yeah?" like he honestly had no idea why I was saying that I saw he randomly followed her.
So, I'm just wondering if this could be a redflag or anything? I mean, he never mentioned her again, and like I said, he's never done anything disrespectful before or anything that would concern me. Am I being stupid for caring?

tl;dr; fiance followed a "friend" of mine on IG after seeing her and saying "God, she's absolutely adorable" he's never done anything weird before or "cheaterish" so I'm wondering if I'm over reacting??

Go ahead and try to guess the ages before you click.

This is from legal advice, she's asking for help with her husband who has been charged with assault and battery. You think it sounds crazy and then you actually read it

I was pregnant when he hit me with a pan and I called the police. He has mental problems. I don't want him to go to jail and his attorney won't reply me because he says it would interfere with the case. We are still living together and my son is now four months old. His trial is in four weeks. What type of sentence could he get? He never had trouble with the police before. We live in MA.
