It'd be a total goddamned disaster on account of being made in a crockpot.

Proper dump cake is made by putting pie filling in a baking dish, sprinkling cake mix over it, then drizzling with butter and baking it in an oven, because it's a cake and cakes are baked. It's trashy as hell and will make you hate yourself, but it's tasty as these things go. In a Crock-Pot it would steam instead of baking, and inefficiently at that, so you'd end up with a bowl of undifferentiated syrupy sludge, especially if you try to transfer it out of the Crock-Pot and into a serving dish. And leaving it uncovered for half an hour will not "crisp up the top" Jesus Christ, the heating element is on the bottom.

I've got friends who run an awful food Pinterest board and now I've found something to chuck at them, so there's that.

It would be rude to make a guest sleep on the floor.
Especially after rawdogging him in the bed you share with your boyfriend, that’s just tonally inconsistent.

I [28M] just moved in with my gf [28/F] of 2 yrs. I'm uncomfortable with the amount of time and money she spends on her dogs. Am I being unreasonable or is she?

quote:

My gf Em and I recently moved in together. We are living in her home (she owns it and I was renting) and we split expenses. She has two little dogs she loves, and I get that. I don't have a problem with them. Since moving in together, I am just not getting the full grasp of how she prioritizes these dogs. Examples:

* She spends an ungodly amount of money on them. $500/month on a daily dog walker for them. $250 a month to take them to daycare once a week. $6k on one dog's surgery, then another $3k less than a year later to reverse the surgery. Almost $200 every 6 weeks on mobile grooming because she doesn't trust the groomers at PetSmart or other places after reading what she calls "horror stories" in the news.

* She cooks for them...homemade meals in the crockpot. She never cooks for us, just the dogs.

* She makes plans around them. If we want to go on a trip and she can't find someone she "trusts" to watch them (which is only 3 people, and two of them are out of state), then she refuses to go.

* She will skip date night so she can spend time with her dogs...she says she feels guilty leaving them alone all night when she's been gone all day.

* She has a stroller for one dog who has had several leg surgeries and can't walk far. If we take the dogs for a walk, instead of just leaving the dog who can't walk far at home, she honest to God puts this dog in a stroller and pushes it along like it's a real baby.

I love her, she's perfect for me, but the way she puts her dogs first is getting on my nerves. Not to mention the money spent. She makes more than I do, and I would love to marry her someday, but I think spending $1k+ a month on her animals instead of putting it towards savings or our future as a family is a huge red flag.

When I mention it, she gets defensive and has even said, "My dogs are more loyal to me than any man has ever been." (I've never cheated on her) and "They're like my kids; of course they come first."

I don't want to be second fiddle to her dogs and it's become a legit red flag to me. I grew up in a home where a dog is a dog...eats kibble, doesn't sleep in the bed with humans, and is a pet, not a child. Am I overreacting, or is she going overboard when it comes to her dogs?

TLDR: GF prioritizes her two dogs and spends a ton of money on them. Am I overreacting or is this a real red flag?

Judging from a comment on this one I do wonder if some people are in a constant competition to prove how enlightened they are, and that all should worship at the altar of Me Me Me.

I [37 F] did some porn in 2011, and i think my son [19 M] found out.

quote:

u/throwaway9512795127
I don't really want to go into reasons as to why I did porn or debate about what that makes me as a person, but shortly after I turned 30 I did several amateur & some higher production porn shoots.

I told no one in my family, and the only people in my life that really know are my closer friends and an ex boyfriend.

whilst I don't do it anymore I'm still in contact with some people in the industry, and last week I was talking on facebook to the guy who ran one of the websites i was on, reminiscing about the past, and he asked me if i would want to come back and do more. I left the computer and went to go cook dinner.

when i was cooking I asked my son to go upstairs and grab my phone for me from my room and I'm fairly sure he read the conversation. the main reason i think this is because I had received a new message from the guy at a time i definitely know was after I had gone to cook yet there was no notification because the message had been read, and my son wasn't himself for the rest of the night.

I'm not sure how to handle this, while I hoped he wouldn't have ever found out it's not the end of the world. but he's been acting very differently around me ever since and all I want is for things to go back to normal, while I'm fine with it I'm not sure how he's handling this and I don't know what I can do. I haven't done anything yet. I've never had to deal with something like this and he's my only child.

do I talk to him about it? do I just leave it and wait to see if he comes to me?

tl;dr

did porn a few years ago, my son read some messages between me and an old friend from the industry, and now I'm not sure what to do.

You did porn whilst your son was 12.

From the comments

quote:

No, it isn't any of your sons business. Yes, you're an adult and can do whatever you want with your body.

But if we're being entirely fair, it would be uncomfortable for the vast majority of people finding that out about a parent. No one wants to picture mom in a porno, especially if the person isn't super sexually progressive. It's just squick to think about.

But you're still his mom. This won't be the end of the world, you're right. Once he gets past the ew factor, he'll likely be ok. You could always ask him over dinner "when you brought me my phone today, did anything happen you'd like to talk about?" to see if he needs to say something. He may even be worried about his friends or family seeing your work. It can be a lot for a 19 year old to process, so having a discussion if he brings it up could be a good, if uncomfortable, opportunity.

I wouldn't worry about it too much though. Just give him some time, and keep this as they usually are. He'll be fine.

When you’re in the sexual vanguard that doesn’t mind if your mum got railed for a small amount of money when you were 12.

It just bemuses me when people tie themselves in knots like this. If he tries just a little more, he will somehow reach a level of universal awareness and sophistication where it’s ok for his girlfriend to sleep with other men


My [20M] girlfriend [20F] of 6 months is going to be away for the summer, and wants to know if I am ok with her engaging in non-romantic relationship(s)/hookups while she is away from me. I am not sure how I feel about this.

quote:

u/thrownaway311
Let me preface this by saying that I have no theoretical opposition to the kinds of things she wants to have permission to do. We both love and trust each other very much, and I have no doubt that she will always come back to me. She just has a strong need and desire for physical human contact, and she is going to be away from all her friends and family for the whole summer while doing research.

My problem is that while I can accept this in theory and have no rational reason to be worried, whenever the topic is brought up I feel really jealous and upset at the thought of her with anyone else, to the point where I am on the verge of tears just thinking about it. Yet this seems entirely irrational. She has said that her first priority is to not hurt me, and if doing this will hurt me, then she won't. But I feel like I shouldn't be hurt by it. Like I said, I trust her completely. It seems unfair and possessive of me to want to take away any kind of physical intimacy for the whole summer. I'm afraid she will become depressed due to loneliness, and might even come to subconsciously resent me for it.

The only compromise I could see working is if she was allowed to do what she wanted, as long as I was never made aware of it, and it didn't interfere with our long-distance relationship and my visiting her occasionally (like once a month max). My question is, is this a bad idea? Should I just tell her no, this is too upsetting? Has anyone else been in a similar situation? I guess I'm just looking for outside perspectives.

Some background: we've been officially dating for 4 months, and before then our relationship was complicated. Initially she was afraid of any kind of serious commitment, but I after a lot of unhappiness I realized that I couldn't have anything but that. Eventually she agreed to take the plunge, and since then we've only grown more and more happy together. This is also my first real relationship, and she gave me my first kiss, and is my first and only sexual partner, but she has had many relationships/sexual partners in the past, although never as committed as this one.

TL;DR: my girlfriend wants to have purely physical relations with other men over the summer while away and while I trust her, I can't shake off my irrational jealousy. I'm looking for examples of how other people have dealt with similar situations.

While they are right at point the host should sleep on the floor and the guest in the bed. I mean its pretty easy to see why the dude blew up and while the condom question was dumb it was also a heat of the moment thing when he just found his GF in bed with another dude so he seriously gets a pass on that poo poo.

As someone else said the trust is pretty much gone so they should just :sever:

She was also wrong because if they really did agree they wouldn't sleep in the bed together and then went ahead and did it then....

It also seems like she really wanted to get a new air mattress they could have. She just figured he wasn't going to be home so gently caress it why bother he won't ever find out.

On average, sure. The point though is that we're making a lot of mothers who aren't able to breastfeed feel lovely over that even when breastfeeding would make no difference to the health of their babies

My wife felt like poo poo at first about bottle feeding when she couldn't breastfeed our second child due to inadequate milk production. She definitely felt pressure from the "you can't bond as well with a bottlefed baby" myth even if she didn't actually believe it.

My [23/M] fiancé [26/F] and I of 1.5 years called my family classless this morning and I'm not sure how to move on

quote:

Just to clarify the title: We've been dating for 1.5 years total, we haven't been engaged for 1.5 years.

Now just for some background: My fiancé comes from a very affluent, wealthy, well-off family. She's American. Her parents work in Corporate America, and I believe are a borderline part of the Top 1%.

I come from a lower-middle class family. I was born in America, but my family emigrated to the U.S. from Europe before I was born. My mother works as a babysitter, and my father works a trade job.

Now for the details: Her and I were planning our wedding, when she got frustrated when I told her that my family couldn't help out with the wedding so much because we don't have a lot of money. I tried reasoning with her about what would be the best way to split the costs between my family and her family. She got really upset and said, "(The people from the country that my parents are originally from) are so classless... do you know how humiliating it is to say your dad is a (trade job worker) and your mom is a babysitter? She didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this comment. When I asked her to apologize for her insensitive comments, she said "I am sorry I hurt your feelings but that doesn't change my feelings or my reality".

Reddit, I'm feeling upset. What can/should I do about all of this?

Please help me. Many thanks.

TL;DR: My fiancé called my family classless and it really hurt my feelings and I'm unsure as to how to proceed.

The stroller one isn’t weird to me, but maybe that’s because my BF had a neighbor that still wanted to let her elderly dog get some fresh air and get to have a sniff at things outside, but since her dog couldn’t really walk far due to being like, the Methuselah of dogs, she bought it a ‘stroller’. It’s more of a little screened-in cot on wheels with a pull handle.
