Scathach posted:For the love of god talk to your kids. The majority will be just fine and not and up pregnant regardless of what you do (or will and will be smart enough to get an abortion anyway.) Hormonal birth control is risky and not a thing I chose for myself, and your kids might not either. Condoms work just fine and if your kids don't want STDs they'll be using em anyway. Hell, by the time your daughters are in their teens they might have boyfriends on birth control so there's that. They could even get super lucky and get with someone sterile like I did and not need anything at all (woo!) i think its state dependent but in ca the daughter is responsible for her own kid even @ 15.

spacetoaster posted:You should request his records. Oh we have it all, I'm sure. My dad's a major WW2 buff and my Aunt really put herself into chronicling the grandparents and their history. We've got the uniform, the medals, a Japanese bayonet he brought back, every letter he and grandma sent each other, I'd honestly be shocked if we didn't request the records at some point. He didn't really talk much about it so most of what we know had to be compiled through other sources. It's all there, I've just never committed it to memory.

Also possibly knocked up a french woman. Got a purple heart by taking a "one in a million" butt bullet while standing on a boat a mile offshore. (Allegedly) When the war ended in Europe he was going to get shipped to the Pacific theater. He hatched a master plan to jump off the train while getting sent from the coast to coast in the US but the boat went around Africa instead. Luckily Japan got nuked before he saw combat

I like how the mom is all "But I've been having her watch Teen Mom why isn't that helping???" Like holy gently caress lady maybe the reason she's making the stupid decision to keep the pregnancy is because your idiocy rubbed off on her. Watching shows about how kids get famous and loved by popping out an underage baby may not be the answer.

Re the pregnant 15 year old, my money is on her being an unwanted child based on what the op states "I have two children. My daughter is off at college. The youngest is 15, turning 16 in May, and still lives with us and attends high school. " Could just be a slip but the oldest is "my daughter" and the other is "the youngest". Tie it in with moms early retirement plans and being an unexpected baby herself and I think there is a lot more baggage than on the surface. I would bet money the youngest has been resented All her life leading to this moment

What’s worse: cheating or snooping?quote:There’s this guy my (m24) girlfriend (24) has been talking to a lot lately via snapchat. I’ve had a weird feeling about it, as she used to have a crush on him, but decided to not say anything about it so as to not seem controlling. My gf, who I live with, recently took a girls trip to Nola. I know how she gets flirty when she drinks. She was sending me snaps from that night of her in a very revealing outfit, and the whole time, I couldn’t help but wonder if she was sending those same snaps to him. Which was the real crime?

I guess you kinda have to ask what the liability is on "kid about to seriously gently caress up their and probably your life in a way you can't possibly stop" because while the mother is just a straight awful person, I really am curious how far the "you have to take responsibility for your kids' retarded actions, forever, morally" thing goes

Yeah the whole "I think my daughter wants to keep the baby to trap the boyfriend into loving her" really points to an unloved daughter. A lot of girls have babies young because they think the guy will fall in love with them or the baby will give them unconditional love they don't have. loving therapy. Get it.

gently caress Your Website posted:Uh no, this is India, the parents aren’t obsessed with romcoms and pop culture horseshit so much as seeing their children as extensions of themselves who need to fall in line with the arranged marriages set up for them or be excommunicated from the family forever. This isn’t even rare. I was being expansive. It was a nice way of saying they were possibly jealous of their love since, from how it sounds, they didn't get a choice in their pairing (from what I've seen of similar posts on here).

Also I consider caste prejudice to be more racism than classism because that's basically just what Indian classism is after a certain point due to their utterly non-existent social mobility structure and the nature of the prejudice therein

AITA for drinking in front of sober people?quote:Recently I was at an airbnb with my boyfriend, and he invited his friend over to help him on a work project we were in town for. It was a small space so we were all sitting together, and I had no where else to hang out so I was just on my phone not contributing to the conversation since it was work related. My boyfriend has never had a drink in his life (parents were alcoholics so he never touched it, but is ok with me drinking around him). I didn't know his friend, so I offered her a glass of wine since I knew we'd be there for a while and I was getting kinda bored. She replied with a very quick "I'm sober." I guess she had recently quit drinking, since I had heard her earlier telling drinking stories. I then asked, "Would I be an rear end in a top hat if I had a glass of wine?" already on my way to the kitchen. My boyfriend politely said "of course not", and she basically cut him off with "Yes."
