AITA for not " disclosing" to my daughter she wasn't breastfed?quote:Pretty much the title. I , 45f, and my pregnant daughter, 23f, were discussing the upcoming baby. She asked me how hard breastfeeding was and I told her I never did.... She asked why and I told her the only 2 people I knew who breastfed complained about it constantly and it didn't seem worth the hassle, especially since her dad left me and I had to go to back to work 7 weeks after she was born, and I only got and extra week because week 6 was Christmas week. She was upset and accused me of hiding this from her , I said it never came up? So she's all mad and has a call into to her doctor to see if she is at a disadvantage because of this, and I should have " disclosed the facts" before she got pregnant so she knew she was " malnourished". She was never malnourished! She hit all her landmarks in infancy, was very healthy. I think she is being ridiculous and she thinks I'm a total rear end in a top hat. AITA?

My girlfriend broke up with me but I don’t understand why?quote:"For context, my partner (20) and I (22) have been in a relationship for the past two years, spending the lockdown together shortly after we first met. In the early stages, she was quite blunt and often complained while I supported us financially. As time passed, she secured a job and began contributing to our expenses. Over these two years, I've cultivated strong relationships with her, her friends, and especially her family. what a surprising turn

Cowslips Warren posted:AITA for not " disclosing" to my daughter she wasn't breastfed? Maybe I'm being too generous but I wonder if the daughter has been reading about the immunity benefits and antibody transfers via breastfeeding, which has been a big topic for a while now afaik, and the mother is just paraphrasing that as malnourished? Seems like a silly thing to get upset about regardless, but I'm always on the lookout for unreliable narrators and "malnourished" struck me as curious Although with the daughter being 23 and already pregnant anything is possible E: just reread the final couple lines and she's saying the information could have impacted whether she decided to get pregnant herself.

Crocobile posted:I’ve been thinking a lot about how awful people made my early 20s. Treating me like a silly pet, or a creepy boss who’s sexually attracted to wielding power over/controlling young women just starting their careers. It’s weird interacting with people now who treated me as disposable then who still have to deal with me now, 10 years older. Don’t worry, I still remember you’re an rear end in a top hat. I'm not in contact with most of the people who treated me like this but I do see one of socially on a regular basis. A few years ago I blew up at something lovely he did- a small thing, but I'd hit my limit- and didn't talk to him for several months. Recently he said that he didn't understand why I'd done it. I don't know if he's getting worse due to retirement isolation or if I've changed so much in the past several years. I'm really not sure hwo to handle it. The Bramble posted:My (49m) daughter (18f) is refusing to see me before she leaves for school this weekend Related (tw: pretty awful homophobia ): Just saw a jawdropper of an estranged parent comment in which a woman blamed some unknown person for making her son gay and said that she considered his death from AIDS as suicide. It freaked me out enough that I don't want to quote it. NOBODY called her out on any of this. It was horrifying. Here's something less awful, although not good: quote:My daughter decided to be estranged from us since September 2017. We had tried to reach out to her after that with cards/gifts – no response. Since she never sent anything back we thought there was some hope of discussion/conversation…why is she ignoring us…In April 2020 we received a Cease and Desist letter. We never phoned her nor showed up at her apartment…We don’t know what prompted such a drastic measure…So we have not tried to make any contact…Is there no path for reconciliation? I already quoted this passage about infidelity from Captain Awkward but I like it so here it is again, edited for this specific situation: quote:You seem to be making the case that *nothing* counts as stalking unless you are skulking around her house in a trenchcoat going through her garbage. I tend to think of this as the N Minus 1 Gambit within the larger Stalker's Defense, where as long as there is one forbidden thing that you are not doing (yet), then nothing you are doing could possibly be sketchy, and actually your daughter is the one who is out of line for even suggesting it. trickybiscuits fucked around with this message at 08:09 on Sep 2, 2023 |

Anyways, if your 16 year old is vaccine-injured with autism, try to get pregenent again, and then try breastfeeding your 16yo, the antibodies will cancel out the autismotoxins from the MMR jab. Make sure to keep him on his rosemary essential oils though!!! Those are key! E: I'm saying they're all the same people.

Midnight Voyager posted:People being loving WEIRD about breastfeeding is unfortunately a thing. There are people who dump out formula because breastfeeding is better. We've had that in this very thread even. yeah my first read was very bleary eyed and 3/4 asleep, and there were so few details in the post (also some i missed first go) that my "too much missing info, no attempt to sufficiently present the other person's perspective => unreliable narrator / dissembling" radar got triggered. but on a re-read and with a bunch of wake up drugs under my belt, i agree with the other posters here, and im tending more towards the daughter sounding like a holier-than-thou momfluencer tyrant and the op/mother has just been browbeaten for so long that "she started yelling at me about something vague and i didnt think that was fair" is probably the most critical analysis she can muster up because she's spent so long backing off just to keep the peace. probably an over-read in this case but i see that mechanism a lot with people who need to find a way to deal long term with toxic/abusive/aggressive people so it comes to mind

It's like kids who were vaccinated growing up to become anti-vaxx nutcases whose kids start dropping dead from preventable diseases, hard-won victories that were taken for granted end up completely forgotten and dismantled by idiots actively working to destroy civilization. The daughter probably was yelling a bunch of woo conspiracy nonsense.

When I told him that wouldn't be happening he started yelling at me that people, but definitely not him, were offended and disgusted by my open degeneracy and he was telling me, the ungrateful tranny pervert, this for my safety.

AITA for telling my family if they really want an honor they should do something life saving for my my wife, kids and I?quote:My wife Mia and I have three children and we're expecting our fourth. Two of our three kids are not named after others, we just really loved their names. Our oldest, however, she's named Taylor, after the nurse who delivered her and saved her and my wife's lives. Nurse Taylor did something I can never repay him for and without him they wouldn't be here today. It seemed fitting to honor him. Explicitly asking your extended family to engineer a life-threatening situation for your loved ones. This could result in an amazing Coen brothers farce or a horrific news article.
