Clocks posted:I do think it's hilarious she wrote all that up, about strong convictions etc and then never actually mentioned which "side" she was on. She probably (correctly) assumed that if she elaborated on what their beliefs were, that reddit would just side with whoever is farther left, rather than answer the actual question regarding whether she is justified in being upset with her boyfriend that lied to her for 6 months.

ToxicFrog posted:My parents did that with me and my sister at least once a year when we were in grade school, usually for visiting relatives or spring/fall camping trips. It's generally fine as long as you let the teacher know in advance. From grade 4 onwards they'd usually give us some sort of project or homework to do related to the trip we were going on. Yeah when I took the kids camping in the spring the teacher just said that they'd learn more camping then they would in second grade.

Fatty posted:Starts off worryingly abusive, turns wholesome AF. Recently I took an informal inventory of my pajamas and counted two old work t-shirts with the collars cut out, ancient sweatpants, a pair of flannel pajama pants that I made* that don't fit, a sweatshirt that's slowly unraveling at the collar, and a twenty-year-old super-cheap Old Navy cashmere sweater that's thirty percent moth holes. It's comfortable but the price I pay for comfort is looking like a walking garbage dump. Meanwhile this dude has FIVE pairs of pajama pants that are probably pretty nice. I really need to get it together. *I can sew a lot of things but pajama pants are like the only thing I can sew quickly and without messing up limp_cheese posted:Then again the doctors also can't tell me what type of TBI I have. They've told me its medically impossible for me not to have one but what that means? Well, you're posting here . . .

Why are kisses even happening to get grossed out by after this Lottery of Babylon posted:please make sure you are thinking of the garbage chicken with rationality Honestly both of these people sound frustrating. I really want to read her manifesto to find out what her "ideology" is. The guy's I can pretty much guess (South Park conservative) Theophany posted:Based on what she posted there's no evidence to suggest he is some closeted alt-right shitlord? If anything, the six month wait to gently caress and her going on about the 'morality' of his views lends itself more to the Christian Right, because after all only Godly folk can be the arbiters of what views are moral and correct, no? Twist, he's a communist. Lib OP would find that equally objectionable to him being a Nazi of some kind. Clocks posted:Honestly I could at least relate to her post in the sense I also have strong convictions and opinions. I'm also massively leftist leaning and I think it'd be impossible to date me without finding that out pretty fast. Quite frankly I also don't have any interest in dating someone who's at all conservative because I feel like their world views are so different from my own that I wouldn't be able to reconcile the differences. I'm also really not interested in debating anything. If it's a friend or a partner I've known for ages and they have an opinion that feels like it's coming out of left field I will of course poke their brains about it, but if we can't agree on basic premises then we wouldn't even get to that stage in the first place. Yeah I make fun but I would have no patience with this either, I need to be able to make fun of poo poo with my partner and if we had night and day political views that'd be impossible.

I had an ex who I shared political views with... But not in the humour used to approach those topics. Really just couldn't joke or talk about politics at all because she would get instantly super depressed and bummed out just at the thought of whatever garbo was going on that day and forever. Just a bad matchup despite never actually disagreeing with the content of what was said or joked about.

She specifically says he disagrees with at least one dealbreaker and has kept his opinions to himself because he knows she doesn't agree.Not necessarily wrong about being an exhausting Twitter leftist though.

Lol my sister used to do poo poo like that to my brother until he learned to just do his own thing. though not nearly to the tune of 10k op should have just backed out of as much poo poo as possible and told her mom what a flaky rear end in a top hat the sister is.

In which a narcissistic estranged parent comes to (partially understand) just how awful she is - but only after burning down every single family relationship she had. Part I [2019] AITA for “ruining” my daughters graduation? quote:My daughter and I have been estranged for about five years now and have recently reconnected and are working on, slowly, repairing our relationship. As part of this she’s been airing out various grievances she’s been holding against me all these years as she doesn’t think holding onto them is “conducive to a healthy relationship”. A lot of these things are petty teenage grievances I can’t believe she hasn’t let go of yet, but one of them stuck out to me. I mentioned it to my husband and he expressed disbelief and disappointment in me for my actions at the time. I maintain that I didn’t do anything wrong but his reaction has me curious. OP in comments posted:Should a child not respect their mother's wishes about who they should or shouldn't talk to??? I've asked my children many times not to keep in contact with my mother and they still disobey me, I don't think it's surprising that I wouldn't want to be seated with her. Part II [2023] UPDATE: AITA for “ruining” my daughters graduation? quote:Hi. It's been a while and I'm not sure if anyone would even care at this point but I accidentally logged into my throwaway on an old laptop and remembered this.

AITA for getting my hair done before picking up my son from school after the school told me he was sickquote:The school nurse had called me and told me that my (f34) son (m7) isn't feeling well and ended up vomiting and needed to go home. If this were any other day I would have picked him up with no brainer. But I was already on my way to get my hair done and my stylist charges extra if you change dates the day off and I didn't want too so I told the nurse that I might be running a little late so she said that's fine, I later went to go and pick up my son he was sleeping. When I got home my husband (m38) asked why I didn't just inform him about what happened so that he could have been home much earlier, and he also said that what I did was selfish on my end. He said it as if I prioritized my hair over my own son which isn't true the entire time I was just hoping he was ok I'm not a bad or selfish mother. AITA for getting my hair done before picking up my son? quote:So what if you would be charged for canceling the appointment? Just reschedule OP posted:You get charged extra FOR rescheduling and its $15 which is bullshit and there was no way I was gonna do that how's your new haircut tho

My favorite thing about terrible people is that they whine about everyone else in their life and people go "sounds like you might be a narcissist" or "maybe you should get checked out for ADHD" or something like that, and they freak the gently caress out like "Why does EVERYONE keep telling me that??" and accidentally confirm to you that everyone else in their life agrees with you. I wonder what life must be like for those people. Do they think there's some sort of conspiracy between everyone in the world? Do they think they have an invisible sign on their forehead that everyone else can see? It's kinda like the saying that if you meet an rear end in a top hat, then you just met an rear end in a top hat. But if everyone you meet is an rear end in a top hat, you might be an rear end in a top hat. If everyone who has known you all their lives, and everyone who has just met you, and everyone who doesn't know anything about you except what you tell them all say the same thing... it might be true?

Clocks posted:My mom's a narcissist (not officially diagnosed or anything mind you, that would be exceptionally hard to do) and from all the pondering I've done over it about my entire life, the only thing I can conclude is that their brains and thought processes literally work in a very different way than other people's. She seems incapable of self-reflecting or considering herself wrong even in the face of overwhelming evidence. From what I have seen, a lot of the time it's like there's a mirror right at the front of their brains, and if even the slightest hint of criticism is directed at them, the mirror springs into action, almost before they have even begun to process the actual content of the criticism. Immediate, reflexive leap to either defensiveness or attack mode.

Lottery of Babylon posted:How does she reconcile "my daughter should unquestioningly obey me because I am her mother" with her own refusal to speak to her own mother? Easily, because in both cases she believes she gets to make the decision. Her deciding to not speak to her mother is fine, but she didn’t decide to not be spoken to by her daughter so it’s wrong.
