That occurred to me too, or maybe like the mom has been racist her whole life but fell in love with and married a black guy and is super embarrassed about it.

You had the same reaction I did, I think that’s the safest bet. She’s remarried the guy who abused her daughter and convinced everyone else in the family to keep the daughter in the dark about it. It’s hosed up but it’s the thing that makes the most sense to me.

Did the kid get out in the changeover?

babysitter arrives at house, parents still home. Baby sitter gets settled in with kid in living room or such while parents are still doing last minute stuff before taking off, parents leave door open when they leave. Somewhere along the line babysitter is in the bathroom or such and kid wanders out.

100%* of parents who have dropped their spouse of at work then let their kid broil to death in the backseat because they forgot the kid was there also believed this. So did every gun owner whose kid shoot a neighbor in the face. Also, every parent of a kid who drowned in the family pool, or made it from the porch to the street in the eight seconds mom or dad was distracted.

* Except for the ones who did it on purpose.

Cake dad is a moron, but he's well within normal human moron parameters. Mom is still right to be pissed, and should pin notes to the kids and leave bi-hourly voicemails every time the twins are alone with him.

this would be almost understandable/forgivable* if the OP realized the mistake when his ex wife was gesticulating wildly towards the cake he had just sampled and going "you still don't see the problem?", but the OP still not getting it at that point kinda tipped it so far past the line of dad who clearly doesn't give a poo poo about his kids that he probably visits once a month at best.

*honestly I feel like unless it was literally "I didn't realize it was chocolate" it'd be p unforgivable. My brother had a bad allergic reaction to a strawberry poptart when I was like 6 and I still remember that poo poo nearly a quarter of a century later and I wasn't the one responsible for feeding him. Like I even remember what we were doing when it happened because it was a significant event that stuck with you. Even as a child I was on the lookout for strawberry flavorings and loudly proclaiming my brother couldn't have those.

haha whoa this is the good poo poo, I tried to bold but no line is not insane

My [23f] boyfriend [23m] of a year has a fetish that is out of control

quote:

We have dated since I met him when I moved to his city for my job after college. I figured out within the first few months he had this fetish. His fetish is called financial domination. Basically it's about women controlling his money and budget, but this summer it changed. Now it's expanded into pretty much every commercial exchange he has with a woman.

At first it was things I'd participate in like setting a weekly budget for him, or since he liked me telling him to buy me something I'd sometimes ask if he could get me a small thing like makeup off amazon. He loved this but wanted more. So he also insisted I have his bank info and all his account information. I did not want this but he emailed it to me anyway. I deleted it and never have done anything with it. Then it was he wanted me to demand a part of his paycheck from him (by transferring funds out of his account to mine myself.) This made me uncomfortable, he doesn't make a lot of money to begin with. Again he refused my refusal and would write checks to me for ridiculous amounts of cash that I just tore up. We talked and I explained I wasn't comfortable with that level of control. He said he understood and he hasn't pressured me to accept money since then.

But he seems to have a need to give women money. His fetish is now more about that, than about me setting guidelines for his spending or giving him an "allowance" from his funds. Basically he specifically gets off on giving women his money and knowing they can now spend it and he can't. I guess it's some kind of power thing. Since I wouldn't accept money from him, I recently found out he's now been going out to all kinds of stores and buying stuff so that paying for it with a female cashier feels to him like he's giving his money to a woman.

I have a few big worries about this because he's not in the greatest financial situation already to begin with, now that he's doing this, excessive spending is an obvious problem now. He doesn't even care about what he buys. Sometimes it's things he needs like groceries or things that are reasonable to get but other times he said he "just feels this urge" to hand over his money and it's not about the stuff he's buying, anything will do. He said he'd pay women without even buying anything from them but knows they'd find that weird and not take it.

My other worry is I know obviously this is highly sexual for him. I told him it's weird to bring his sexual fantasy into a public place. He said he didn't do anything sexual towards the women, then he said if he really needs to he just jacks off in his car after buying stuff. This made me really alarmed because it seems like it's becoming compulsive. He said he wouldn't have to do this if I'd just accept his donations. But I won't do that so there's no compromise.

He gets his next paycheck Friday and has almost nothing in his account right now. He'd had some small savings when we met, now those are all gone. Most of his paycheck goes to the crap he buys to act out the fetish. I can't support him because my job doesn't pay that well either and I don't want to be constantly worried about his money problems when they're so avoidable.

What the hell do I do here?

TL;DR: My boyfriend's fetish (a variant of financial domination) has gotten out of control in my opinion and is wreaking havoc on his bank account. How can I help him be more responsible about money and find other ways to satisfy himself sexually?

He might be a lovely part-time dad. That’s entirely possible. I don’t think that’s a requirement for this sort of mistake, including the brain fart when mom is trying to prompt his memory.

He’s a fuckup, either way, and mom should make sure he doesn’t forget a second time. Maybe something with a branding iron.

Edit: That findom one is hilarious right up until the end, where it seems like that poor girl’s only concern is that she can’t help her boyfriend because her job doesn’t pay well, either. Then, it’s just sad.

That dolt is about two weeks away from running up to random women in the streets and reverse-mugging them. “This is an up-stick! Just take all my money, and I can go jerk.”

If the obvious option of dump his rear end is off the table why can't she just take the comedy option of taking the money and ironically investing/using it wisely. Financially dominate him into a secure future.

Even if she did that he would still waste any money he had. These kind of fetishes just escalate. You would have to take away all ability for him to spend any money for it to work.

I would go with the “dump him” plan.

Making a clean break is good, but sometimes you'll get a shiny or you'll catch the Pokérus -- both of which are pretty unlikely and pretty awesome -- and you won't want to write over it because you don't know if it'll ever happen again under non-hack circumstances.
