Man, there's been so many stories along those lines where a parent has a few kids and one of them is autistic so suck up 99% of the parenting energy with the rest of the kids left with scraps at best. Plus of course the kids being expected to become the autistic kids caretaker once older. Then the kids end end fleeing. It feels like we as a society should have a lot more resources for parents in situations like that to help avoid those sort of situations.

Not like, freedom from anything that matters, just the general concept. Let's play Guess The Age!!! Ex 39F contacted and I'm 36M headed into a serious LTR quote:Hello, I recently got a blanket back from an ex I used to live with. It was completely platonic while she gave it back to me. I told the person I'm currently dating about it later and she was livid and I understood why. I apologized. My ex is blocked on everything. Text, Snapchat, email. Although on G-Mail you can still see blocked emails in the spam folder. She asked when I saw her if we could start using the phone and I said no. I didn't mention at the time I saw her that I'm seeing anyone as we just talked about her kids and work a bit. She emailed today and asked if I'd be interested to do lunch with her in the coming weeks. I'm not, and cannot unless I want my current relationship to be gone. I'm not sure how to handle this. Obviously I will need to tell the person I'm seeing now she messaged again. She wants me to change my email completely, which isn't entirely very easy since I have so much connected to it. From the comments: quote:Redditor: Why did your current gf freak out at you having a blanket returned? That's not normal.

MarcusSA posted:The word a bit is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this story here. Yeah, as someone who lost almost a hundred pounds over the pandemic, there’s no way he’s looking at all professional with such poorly-fitting clothes - his boss has a point, though probably needs to find a more tactful way of handling it. Calling your subordinate “too fat” is a great way to get HR involved. A lot of companies who operated remotely but reopened the office offered funds for new clothes, car repairs, etc. to let folks hit the ground running. Rather than trying to get his boss in trouble, the OP should look into those sorts of options.

Someone who is not me is minting NFTs from panels of my old sprite-based webcomic Intellectual Property quote:Back in the early 2000s, I had a short-lived webcomic, as was the custom at the time. I used recolored 8-bit sprites from [large video game company], along with original characters drawn in the same style, as was also the custom at the time. My website shut down almost fifteen years ago, but someone with copies of my strip is removing dialogue from individual panels and minting them as NFTs for sale.

Yea my friends are actually suffering from the same thing, they told me "Betty does NOT need any more toys, please no". Small toddler got absolutely inundated by gifts small and large and the parents are physically swamped on where to fit it all. Outside toy playhouses, big bins of trucks, etc. I've gifted a few books and a coloring things which can be disposed of, but the kid is still being swamped by loot 5 years later. It's a great problem to have, but just explaining things and saying "No gifts at all, no really, it's ok!" is probably the most good-decorum thing to ask. Cash is maybe a whoopsie.

It's also a situation where I honestly have a bit of a hard time blaming the parents, too. Being a parent is incredibly goddamn hard at the very best of times, and an autistic child is the exact opposite of the very best of times. In most of these stories the autistic child is also the younger sibling, which further complicates things. In my mind, this kind of situation is one where I'm not comfortable calling the parents bad parents. They're probably average parents, in a situation where average just doesn't cut it.

If a child repeatedly collapses and the parent goes, "no doctor for you", I feel very comfortable calling them a bad parent. If the family dog did that, it would get a trip to the vet, but hey, hospital is expensive. We gotta save that money for the dog.

Facebook Aunt posted:Broken homes have negative affects on a child's wellbeing and outcomes. Being raised by a single parent is objectively worse than being raised in a happy home by two parents. As someone whose parents stayed together far too long trying to do just this: the kids can tell and it's so much worse than just having two separate households. I don't know why 'staying together for the children' is considered noble, when it's just egotism, dragging everyone through your barely concealed pain and convincing yourself it's working. It does not work in the children's favor - it's just about the adults salving their own guilt. Being raised by two people barely containing their contempt for each other as your primary model for human interaction, it really fucks up your ideas of what stable healthy human relationships look like and you pretty much always think people have a hidden prerogative. It made me a cynic, even as a child. And now I'm estranged from my dad who is the parent who insisted on pulling our family through that painful torture because of this kool-aid, so there ya go. Coming home from school to a household of people pretending to like each other is some heartbreaking poo poo, don't do that to a kid.

AITA for not giving my friend struggling with infertility my eggs?quote:So for context, I (27F) have a longterm friend (31F) who is struggling with infertility, so much so that she and her partner are looking for an egg donor, she is aware of the fact I plan to never have kids and so asked if i'd donate my eggs to her instead of her getting eggs from someone she doesn't know.

No! No she is not an rear end in a top hat for not giving her friend eggs! For those of you who don’t know egg donation is a ton more complex, you have to take hormones to fool your body into “thinking” it’s pregnant and it’s a multi-month process, it’s why people can get into the 10s of thousands sometimes because it’s so much more invasive, involved, and life-altering. ETA: and of course the guidelines are incredibly strict so the health issues OP mentions would probably disqualify her anyway!

I (f20) might have ruined a handful of friendships over a stupid questionquote:This will sound odd and is kind of hard to explain but basically I often volunteer to go on paranormal investigations to help with public events and often me and my mum and some friends pay to be part of the public at certain events. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea or beliefs but I really enjoy it and it's something I love doing. My friend Emily owns a paranormal group with her husband Dave. Me, mum and said friends often pay to go on paranormal investigations with her team in order to help her and Dave out towards the costs of hiring haunted venues.
