AITA for wanting my family to leave me alone in the morning?quote:By family, I am talking about my 3 kids and husband. I know this makes me sound like an rear end in a top hat because obviously, as a mom, I dont get the luxury of alone time and I cant just push them away because I signed up for this.

They got me into a school through connections which if I provide any details would help really narrow down who I am because class sizes were about 10-15 kids a grade and I was by far the least financially well off one at the school. Instead of slacks I had sweatpants that looked like slacks.

My pants were staying up fine, but it was listed as part of our mandatory dress, so: dress code violation it was. there was extreme glee from the administration in catching dress code violations and punishing people into conforming. after all, it's part of the rules! giving that sort of power over children to people with authoritarian leanings - it was like handing drugs to an addict. they couldn't get enough. they'd find it in every nook and cranny - they'd manufacture it if they needed a hit.

Motherfucker posted:We like to talk up therapists but honest to gently caress everyone I've ever known who became a therapist started out an incompetent incomplete person. Most people are incompetent and incomplete. A big aspect of getting trained as a therapist is learning to keep your own poo poo separate from the relationship. If we only accepted people who had all their poo poo together as therapists, we would have basically zero therapists. Right wing conspiracy therapist needs to go because they're letting their issues and opinions into the relationship.

I'd be seriously tempted to get the gently caress out of the house and have a nice coffee somewhere else (even in the car) if I was her. An hour of alone time is not too much to ask, especially considering she's timing it to minimise any inconvenience for the rest of her family.

Solenna posted:this is the most depressing loving sentiment. You're a parent, now you can never do anything for yourself ever, your life is only your children, also why are you so overbearing quit being such a helicopter mom. Yeah there was that dad a couple bajillion pages back who wanted 1 hour of "him" time but it turned out that was immediately after he got home from work and wasn't "helping" with the kids. He literally just did not want to be around his family. This woman is clearly on the verge of a nervous breakdown and needs her hour of silence.

I loved one of the comments to that one.quote:I actually taught my kids with a physical representation of this and encourage other parents to do the same. It worked so well having them be able to see it with their own eyes. I did it for each person too, not just me/mom. Each person got a full glass of water and I set up empty containers. I poured a little of my water in the work container, chores, their containers etc. I poured theirs in school, homework, chores etc. I told them as I was I doing this. By the end each of our cups were empty. I then said Ok now give alittle more. They said they couldn't because their cups were empty. I said exactly. You can't give any more because you have nothing left to give. I then told them side effects to an empty cup. You get cranky, your tired, maybe you will feel overwhelmed, sad, mad, it might even make you feel physically unwell (body aches, headaches etc). Then I taught them how to fill their cup up. Hydration, sleep, food if their hungry, time alone, hobbies, rest, excerise etc. And then each kid got another full glass of water. Now they verbally state Mom my cup is empty. And we go through the process of finding them ways to fill their cup. Occasionally they have called me out and said mom it looks like your cup is empty. Sometimes I need to point it out to them as well and they will say oh yea I guess so. It has really helped us. If I still had young kids (thank God I don't) I would definitely try that one.

Midnight Voyager posted:The son doesn't complain because uniforms for guys are generally more comfortable than the ones for girls. I'd have killed to be allowed to wear the male uniforms in school. They weren't fuckin starched plaid skirts. I remember how sweaty that region was as a teen, I would've loved to have the breeze of a skirt. I feel like we might only be less than a decade away from skirts finally being a common and accepted option for even fragile homophobic republican white man who were alive to vote for reagan, on purpose, and still, somehow, think it was a good choice. Imagine establishing a patriarchy and then using it to make it so you yourself couldn't wear sensible and logical garments like a dress or skirt. Mind-wipe all people, erasing their weirdo ideas about everything, and present them with two garments to choose. One garment is like a couple of weird tubes that meet at the top into one larger tube and there's some strange mechanism to sort of tear these tubes apart a little because apparently they couldn't figure out how to make the tubes work the first time. The other garment is a single tube that looks comfortable and seems really obvious how you could wear it. I think the choice people make indicates something about what kind of person they might be, but I don't think that choice would have anything to do with sex chromosomes. If anything, just trying to roleplay as a pro-pant person, I guess it comes down to +/- 1 AC for most people. I'll take comfort over the AC

Can you imagine being such a white trash drunk that you can get your tab that high at the type of place that sells margaritas and has a patio in 2 hours? That sounds exhausting; it's like exercise. AITA for refusing to get close with my partner's kids? quote:I started dating my boyfriend a few months (4-5) ago. He has 2 kids, a daughter and son, aged 7 and 3, respectively. I'll usually come over once a week but not stay the night. However, there was this one night when I got wrapped up in working on work stuff at his place and it was 1 AM when I finished, so I had to stay the night. I've always been cordial to his kids but haven't tried to get to know them or talk to them beyond hi and bye.

I can really see that happening, which isn't ideal, but drat there are parts of my body what aint ever felt the wind but for when I stand over a honeywell after a shower so it would still be welcome over uncle status quo and his anti-airflow agenda. Invisible Clergy posted:AITA: leaving a patio with my beer. Palpable != palatable was my first reaction, but it seems maybe they were drunk when writing this or just don't know how to use words good. I'm having trouble following the story at a certain point. They got to bar, order food and drinks. Their server is getting off work, they don't say whether they pay out with him or if the whole ticket is transferred to next server. They can tell their server is annoyed with them but they keep ordering and squatting. Possible this is a table in someone else's section, certainly these people suck to serve or have around, and visibly there's a pressure from folks in line who ain't et while some idiots get drunk on cheap beer. They rationalize it with whatever they perceive to be "tipping well, eventually." They ask for tab, some server asks them to share a table to cut the line? They offer to chug beers and leave faster, which may or may not mean also skipping out on the tab? "I say I don't feel comfortably with an attitude runs down the street to yell at us because we can't take the beers." I don't know this sentence. Does he say "I don't feel comfortably" with an attitude, like an angry slurring drunk? Ultimately the server has to chase them down because they apparently sauntered off with open containers and maybe didn't pay. The person who wrote that post is an rear end in a top hat no matter what for having written their post this way.
