I'm 36 and get 25-29 constantly, it's a blessing and a curse. I have trouble nailing down ages on people though, because I look younger and my kids all look bigger/older than they are, so my perspective on what certain ages "look like" is a bit warped

A coworker/friend of mine is probably this kid in five years; he's 22 and on felony probation (for selling drugs) and it's a running slightly-morbid joke that "sober" means he's only on shitloads of kratom and klonopin, maybe a couple of beers. He's basically the poster child for "why you should probably not pop benzos/opioids like tic tacs". Pretty sure he'd be worse off if he stopped though, at least without some serious detox/rehab.

My boyfriend (22M) won't stop berating me (19F) because I voted for Obama and "Ruined History".

Yeah, it's pretty much what the title says. I was stupid enough to tell my boyfriend that I was happy Obama won and he has been harassing me about it nonstop since. We live together and I'm eight months pregnant with a little girl. Of COURSE I was going to vote for Obama, there's no way I'd want my child to live in an America where Romney could start stripping away women's rights, beginning a domino effect which would likely become a huge clusterfuck bringing the female population back to the 1800s by the time my daughter's old enough to need to worry about it.
He sadly voted for Romney... which was his right as a citizen and I don't really have a problem with. What I DO have a problem with is how he's reacting to his guy losing and the fact that he is being so disrespectful of me because I don't share the same political views as him. He won't even let me watch the news and grabbed the remote out of my hand, shut off the TV and told me that I could spend "all day watching liberal poo poo, just save it for when I'm not home". He told me he was going to deduct "presidential tax" from the allowance he gives me, laughing that "Obama will take care of your baby now, guess you and the baby don't need my money anymore!" (All of the money he gives me goes directly to my medical bills and GAS to keep my appointments. Being pregnant is not CHEAP!)
Before Obama won my boyfriend was talking about marriage and excited to have a child with me, now he wants me to "just give her up for adoption" and is talking about kicking me out of the apartment.
I don't know what to do anymore or what to say to him to get him to be more reasonable. Help?
TL;DR: Boyfriend can't stop complaining about Obama winning and doesn't want to help pay for my pregnancy anymore because I didn't vote for Romney like he did.

I would say :murder: but it's from four and a half years ago, so find out if the guy voted for Trump (he did) and then :murder:

I'm torn on the drinking problem thing - on one hand my dad was one of those totally functional alcoholics that was never truly drunk but was never without a beer until he (completely unsurprisingly) died of cirrhosis, and my brother has a rapidly-growing drinking-alone-to-excess problem, but on the other hand I don't really see how 5-6 beers once a week ish is alcoholism, cause I've never in my life thought "drinking a six-pack on a Saturday" equates to "needs to go to AA".

The fact she won't or can't stop drinking (or maybe drink less) around her goober boyfriend to show she has the slightest bit of respect for him is more of a red flag to me than the amount. Hell, my husband doesn't really like that I smoke weed, and I don't like that he smokes cigs inside, but since we actually like...had a conversation about it, we came to the grownup conclusion that he really only minds if I'm smoking at home (not a legal state), but is perfectly okay with me hitting a joint after work with friends or whatever. In return I don't bitch about him smoking cigs in the house as long as he's got the window open and it doesn't smell like an ashtray in the living room.

I sleep with a 27-year-old stuffed bunny for much the same reason; my husband is super comfy but moves a lot in his sleep and is basically a space heater, so Bunny gets the cuddles (and helps my bad elbow keep from getting slept on)

I'm inclined to believe that someone who insists that they just can't fall asleep before 2AM, it's impossible, might be a huge baby that's exaggerating. Also if you're going to make any noise that would be considered loud by banging a razor, you're going to break or damage it. Unless your definition of loud includes: opening/closing doors, clattering sliver/cookware, frying sounds, etc.

I can't sleep until 2am because I get home from work at 1am most nights, but if she's going to work at 11am I'm inclined to agree that perhaps she is a huge pissbaby and needs to fix her sleep schedule, because I doubt she's working 14-hour shifts and therefore can't use the "gently caress you, I close" excuse

Hey guys, I'd like to take a legit moment here. We all post our opinions on poo poo. Today I was pointing out that just because someone went to a rally it may be worth figuring out how deep they are into that belief system and whether they are salvageable.

I try not to attack people personally, there's no loving reason for this poo poo just because you disagree with a point I'm making. Like seriously. Maybe try to find some other way to express disagreement than what you're doing here? Idk.

even if you are being intentionally disingenuous or playing devil's advocate or something, you're well known in this thread as a lovely poster with bad opinions and so maybe you should tone down the gimmick if you want to have a serious conversation

like I get what you're saying about finding out if the kid is salvageable or Literal loving Nazi but you are, perhaps, not the person to try to make that argument because you didn't bother dropping your disingenuous south park "maybe it was just a few Nazis at the rally and the rest were normal decent people" gimmick before saying so

I mean my initial reaction was "ok work wife, what's wrong with -- oh. uh. dial it back a bit, yo" since I'm a work-wife kinda person as well but you should really not be prioritizing your work wife over your real SO if you have any desire to continue that relationship

I am certain this exact quote has been said verbatim by at least one Mommy Soldier. I'm 100% with the mom here; she gave her medical history and asked to go no-contact. The daughter should've respected that. I can understand why people feel for the daughter, hoping for her own reunion story, but life isn't a daytime TV show and sometimes pregnancies are mistakes.

I've considered trying to dig up my birth parents about once a year since I was 18 or so, mostly for medical/genetic reasons (closed adoption in Louisiana, you can't even find your birth parents unless they're also looking for you) but the paperwork is still sitting in my file cabinet at 37 because I always follow up with the thought that they gave me up for a reason. Yes, it kills me that my daughter is the only person I'll ever know that looks like me, and I want to know if I have brothers or sisters, but it's not my family; it never was. I have a mother, as many issues as I have with her (and there are many). I had a father. I want to know, but I also don't want to disrupt my birth parents' life or their family just because I'm curious whether autism and ADD/OCD run in my blood or if it's just coincidence. I get why this kid wants to find her but if the answer is no, sometimes you just gotta move on. It's more likely to be a "uh...we never thought you'd find us, sorry, we don't really want anything to do with you" than the plot of a Lifetime original movie.
