It's depressing because it's most certainly a learned behaviour from the mum and dad, kids pick up on parental cues something rotten and they were clearly signalling that the constant bullying and teasing were right and good (and doing plenty themselves). Obviously I feel worst by far for poor paulie, but the others never stood a chance of be coming good well rounded people with that kind of toxicity around them

As a reminder the brothers grimm edited the stories they told so as to make the abusive authority figures step relations, so if anything this is starkly more accurate to the original fairytales

Dr. Phil had a few of these women on his show. They cling to the idea that they're pregnant just as hard as a flat earther. -It's also very sad and truly a mental illness. I had to stop watching halfway through to add that. ParserGirl fucked around with this message at 12:24 on Sep 3, 2019 |

I have better things to do with my vacation time than useless arguments with crazy boomerdad. Just roll your eyes, walk away, and do whatever the hell you’d do anyways.

She was desperate to become pregnant by her husband and was still insisting she was months after the 'pregnancy' would have come to term. Although I think ill health that made her bloated helped to fuel her delusion.

I'm desperate for an update on grounded adult, but I know in my heart of hearts the coward accepted it and just grumbled about it. Nobody really commented on this one, but door lock sister is NTA. I think she is an rear end in a top hat, she seems more mad that the sister snuck out and OMG SMOKED A WEED! but sneak out sister is an idiot for leaving the doors unlocked instead of just... taking a drat key. Locking the door perfectly fair. Feel terrible for the beautiful, fierce, intelligent scapegoat, who is notable more beautiful, more fierce, and more intelligent than her siblings and parents, who abused her for decades. I hope she leaves her family behind, but also becomes rich and famous so her family cannot stop being blinded by her light. I also feel terrible for the cryptic pregnancy ladies. It is extremely bizarre because it seems like the type of delusion that would have a natural expiration date. But I suppose we know that delusions do not respond to logic.

yeah just leaving the door to the entire house open is not cool, i smoke lots of weed and i would not do that in order to smoke weed the point you're endangering other people to do drugs is the point where you should really re-evaluate your behavior, no matter the 'level' of use

Barudak posted:Your husband wants kids really badly and you dont and hes trying to avoid hating you which has resulted in him attempting to roleplay a salmon right down to a drop in intelligence. No - the husband wants to wank to the idea of getting a bunch of women pregnant. He doesn't actually want the realities of being a dad, which include un-sexy things like changing diapers, getting woken up in the middle of the night, and having no disposable income. Being a sperm donor means he has all the wank material he wants without having to life a finger in actual childcare.

I [25/F] told the guy [24/M] I hooked up with that I can’t be his fuckbuddy and did not get the answer I was hoping to hear. Can something be done to redeem the situation?quote:Edit: title should say amend the situation quote:The trick was to indirectly let him know that I want something more without placing pressure on him or without taking a huge risk of getting rejected. I feel that now he knows that if he wants me then he will have to step up but apparently he doesnt. One weird trick to end your fuckbuddy relationship. Women secretly wanting more hate this!

Apparently even pandas can get pseudopregnant. This is so interesting but maybe it’s hitting home cause I’m like 8 months pregnant (OR AM I?!?!)quote:Endocrinologist here (though I study wildlife, not people) - FYI pseudopregnancy isn’t a psychological phenomenon, it’s an endocrine phenomenon. It occurs if the corpus luteum in the ovary continues to secrete progesterone instead of dying. This means menstruation never happens, because progesterone maintains the uterine lining, as well as suppressing future ovulations and triggering several other physiological changes of pregnancy. Here’s a long read article about one case: https://jezebel.com/ghost-child-the-strange-misunderstood-world-of-delusi-1669049740

Mu Son (12/M) punched classmate in the face for derogatory comments and doesn’t want to apologize. Not sure exactly how to proceed?quote:Last year our 12 year old son Jake became very close to a girl who just moved to the area, Leah. She is one of 4 black kids in the school. (We live in a small town in the Midwest) She is a nice girl but a bit eccentric. However my son is too so their friendship works. A few months ago my son told me me they were getting bullied/teased by some kids, particularly one boy named Kyle in the school. Apparently racist remarks were involved. At the time we reported it to the school (even though Jake told us not to) and the school said they would put a stop to it. We thought it was done with because we didn’t hear much about bullying for the next few months.

ad090 posted:Got grounded by my father in law. Do I have to accept it? Absolutely incredible that anyone would put up with that. My little brother was at his ex wifes parents one Christmas with their kids, and his mother in law kept on going over his head to ask his ex if the kids were allowed to do or eat certain things, and he put his foot down and said why wouldn't they just ask him rather than ringing her while she was out or whatever. Eventually, their bullshit got so bad that on Christmas eve they were doing it again and he just got up and walked out and took a taxi to the station, got on the train back up north and asked me to pick him up. I didn't blame him a single bit for walking out (I had seen how they treated him previously) and took him out for a steak. gently caress letting people treat you so badly when they are supposed to be your family. Our side of the family treat his ex like gold, and she let hers act like he was beneath contempt. I will never understand why anyone would let their parents be so lovely to their partners.

This kid is great and I would go back to the school and rip them a new one until they got it through their thick skulls that no violence would have happened at all had it not been for the racist little shitbags in the first place.

Yeah, fighting about it isn't going to do much, especially in the moment. I wouldn't sneak out of a loving window though, that's some child poo poo. Just confirm they're serious, then go okay and and leave out the door like an adult. Go get some food and book a hotel room.

Follow up comment from the rear end in a top hat sister:quote:Wow. I'm trying really hard now. I got angry with the replies but I came back and thought maybe I should be more open to criticism. And I have to admit one thing, I think me and M can be a bit immature at times. It's like, we do well at school and socially but we're still very much cosseted by our parents especially my Mom. She doesn't seem to want us to grow up. She seems much more loving when we need her and when I'm feeling like a little kid I feel really comfortable to go to Mom and cry. But if I'm trying to do something grown-up she gets colder. She does all my paperwork and deals with everything and won't give me stuff I need for school, just does it all for us. SHe's always been like that and it kind of makes life easier I'll admit.
