Cowslips Warren posted:Just seems like an odd decal. One of those stories where I feel like something is missing, like op said or did something that would warrant this treatment. It's always possible Jessica is just a horrible shelter employee but they're usually eager to free up space. Also if they refused to adopt to this specific person I don't see them letting the dog go on a technicality just because op got one over on them.

EIDE Van Hagar posted:you can leave salted buttter at room temp for, like, days or weeks. That's ... not specific at all. I do get that it's generally safe, but it's safer in the fridge and having softer butter immediately just isn't that big of a deal especially when you have to give up counter space and keep yet another specialized appliance in the kitchen clean. I need a butter bell like I need herb shears or a vegetable spiralizer.

I'm just not inclined to side with Jessica  I agree huskies are not apartment dogs, but she should've stuck to that as the reason. Getting personal with appearances makes me doubt that's all there was to it.

We had to have a home visit, background checks and a meet and greet between our current dog and the new one to adopt our baby girl. All of which made me love the adoption place and become a yearly donor to them: they put the dogs needs first.

AITA for telling my brother I think he did the wrong thing forcing his bio son to move in with him?quote:Almost six months ago my brother learned that he had a 15 year old son with his ex. She died but had put my brother's name on the birth certificate and so my brother was contacted. He never knew she'd had a child let alone his child. A DNA test was carried out and confirmed my brother was the biological father. It was a very emotionally taxing time because my brother carried a lot of anger knowing his ex, who he had parted on good terms with, never told him. The only reason he can think of for why is she had always wanted to move back to her home town in another state and did not want to be forced to stay or share custody with a long distance parenting plan, and so never told my brother as a result.

When I lived in a tiny-rear end 1-bedroom apartment, my neighbor (same floorplan) had a husky. I hated that neighbor and pitied that poor dog so badly. Huskies need a house with an actual fenced yard where they're allowed to run freely basically daily.Cthulu Carl posted:I'm no Greek speaker, but it looks misós is "Half" while misó̱ is "Hate"? Is that right? My partner is Greek; she says that this is about right. It's really a pronunciation thing. Kinda like pero versus perro in Spanish. She was still confused for a moment as to why the mom was upset,, though. Baron Zephyrus fucked around with this message at 16:36 on Oct 14, 2023 |

Don't know if it would've been that good to uproot his 4 other children and wife just to ignore his son's wishes. Hell of a way to start off the relationship, immediately bulldozing the simplest and situationally logical plea directly requested by the son and his real family. He is a bad dad and a selfish person.

Foo Diddley posted:why do people ask poo poo like this when they don't want to hear the answer Because they think they already know the answer and want the affirmation. Dude thought he was going to hear some combination of "of course you're right," "keep trying, the kid will come around," and "father knows best." The only good news in that story is that the kid only has three more years before they can disappear forever. Hopefully the grandparents are still around at that point.

Got an estranged parent thing here with some detail. Pathetic, pathetic detail. quote:Our 1st grandchild was born a year ago. Our relationship with my 30+ married daughter was fine. She is an only child and had every advantage (which I now see may have been a problem, though she was NEVER a problem before). She and her husband live 2 minutes away; we sold them their home (another huge gift). We had often talked with them about how wonderful it would be to be nearby when they had kids. I was saddened to learn that, as my daughter calls it, we have “misaligned expectations.” Visits went from 2x a week (45 minutes) to once a week in January. I ached to see my grandchild but kept myself very busy with people who love me and lots of activities and travel. In the past few months — with absolutely no negative interactions at all — she has slowly reduced visits to every 9-10 days. She is a homemaker with one very easy going, delightful baby, not an employed mom with a hectic life. This week, I was to have babysat for the first time. She cancelled the day before “due to a car issue” (husband was taking their only car to work). I offered my car for her “errand” and told her it was a momentous day for me. (Hint: very important to me.) She said no to the car. I then responded that it was very important to me, could I come over for a visit the next day? She responded yes but that she is cutting visits to every other week. That was my “I’ve had it” moment. There is no heart there at all. I have cut ties with her. I can’t let this continue. It has aged me a decade in a year. I realize I may be screwing myself over but I also know that I have been incredibly sad for the past year since the bonding I thought I’d have with this child isn’t going to be allowed. I am sad but also relieved. Give me your Cowslips Warren posted:

Yeah, it almost reads like this is some kind of revenge thing. He's mad at his ex for keeping his kid secret from him for 15 years and on some level this may be a way of getting back at her and her family. You can feel bad for the guy, and if the story was "I flew out to meet my son I didn't know about and he was a dick" then sure he would be the victim, but there's no excuse for jerking the kid around like this. It's absolutely monstrous and the anger and grief he's dealing with is at best a minor mitigating factor.

AITA for not wanting a forced Christian family in the future?quote:My partner (28M) and I (24F) have been together for a but over two years, and everything has been good. We rarely fight and the topic of marriage and having children have been brought up a lot. We agree on most terms of the topics except for one: religion. are you fuckin stupid, lady? guy says he wants to beat your kids and you're still with him? "he's great except for this one thing" what the gently caress quote:EDIT: Feels like I know in the back of my head that I should break up with him but just need to hear words of affirmation. Also kinda heartbroken that this suddenly revealed a major red flag when things were so great. I’ll come to my senses when I’m feeling less sad.
