Soysaucebeast posted:It doesn't even say what the mom took out the loan for. I mean obviously it's lovely either way, but there's a gulf of difference between taking out the loan to buy a lambo vs taking out the loan to avoid losing her house. There is not. Defrauding your adult children and actively attempting to ruin their lives is lovely no matter what you're spending the money on.

Tetramin posted:Why wouldn’t this dude just put some money into the moms commissary account so she can buy a prepaid card that’s slightly less expensive and doesn’t go onto the phone bill. Also, my buddy called me from jail collect once and it cost me like $24 for a 10 minute conversation, so I don’t understand these prices unless prison doesnt cost as much as jail. He probably could, but he's paying rent, water, gas, electric, and whatever else and the girlfriend is basically freeloading on cable and phone time, and per the edit the extra cost is $20/mo? Seems justified.

poo poo, I forget to close my garage from time to time now, and I'm almost 40. I also have a pile of dogs who will let everyone on the block know if anyone they don't know so much as approaches the house, and I live in an area so safe that I could have a car like a Tesla sitting there with keys unguarded and feel pretty safe about it, though, so maybe our situations are really different.

poo poo, when I was growing up I had an Uncle Pooge. He was my step father's uncle, I think. Or maybe step grandfather's cousin, who knows anymore. Man's name was Leroy, he was a cantankerous old Missouri farmer, and everyone except his wife, including his brother, called him Uncle Pooge. Massive Midwest families are wild.

Bruceski posted:That's probably the only thing I ever flat-out fought my dad on. Near the end of high school he tried to explain to me that I was a lot smarter than most people I'd encounter and I pushed back hard because the way he was saying "smarter" sounded like "better". It was bizarre, didn't seem at all to mesh with how he usually was; in general he always made time for people, happy to lend a hand and seeing them as people even in incidental contact. We never talked about it afterward, I didn't realize it was something I wanted closure on until it was too late. Good on you for figuring that out so young. My dad raised me on the idea that we were smarter than everyone else and I should be ready for pushback and feeling like I was above everyone else. It was absolutely like we were better than everyone else. I didn't figure my poo poo out until I was like 30, and that unjustified feeling of superiority still creeps in sometimes. I can't blame the man on it too much - he came up in a relatively poor rural community, worked as a meat cutter to put himself through law school, passed the bar on the first try, did so much cocaine and Canadian club that he went back to meat cutting, and he's dead now. I just try to make sure I don't gently caress up my own son in the same way.

Walh Hara posted:Look, I don't have any children myself so I might be way of here, but is a 2 year really that likely to harm himself (not just hurting himself, but great bodily harm or death) when left alone for a few hours in a living room? I have a two and a half year old, and he absolutely will do something to hurt himself (or just fall and hurt himself) without direct supervision. Kids that age have enough motor skills to be a danger, and zero idea that things can be dangerous, due to not having any lived experience yet.

Ghost Leviathan posted:It is always funny with cats and babies, I think while there's horror stories of dubious veracity, you're more likely to end up with the cat treating the baby as an oversized kitten. When we had our son, we had one cat and one dog. The dog and the cat had come to a household understanding regarding space - they didn't mess with each other, and if one was on a couch/pet bed/spot of floor first, they had dibs, and wouldn't get hosed with. When we had the little man, they just treated him like another approximately pet sized animal. The cat might like to lay in the bouncer or whatever, but if the baby was there first, he went and found another spot. Worked out well.

oh jay posted:I guess it depends on the breakdown between "misc bills" vs "regular living expenses" It says he's doing comps as well, so this is probably a pro level coach and he's competing at least at a semi-pro level. Costumes, travel, and entry fees for those things aren't cheap, if it's at all similar to ballroom.

I had to have no kids at my first wedding. I had one cousin whose kids were absolute monsters, and her only method of discipline was full on screaming. We made the decision to have adults only and cited monetary concerns (paying per seat, small wedding). My friends, whose children I like, had met that cousin and her kids and were very understanding. They also wanted to be able to party and drink til 4am, so it was a convenient excuse to leave the kids at home.

Don't forget - we're old now. Limited sample size, and anecdotes are not data, but all of the queer and trans people I know in my age range (late 30s-early 40s) are still totally down with Rocky Horror as it was a touch point of their young adulthood, and all the young people I know (friends kids) are mostly "the rocky what now?" Re: transvestite, I believe it's still ok when people who like sometimes dressing in clothing that is typically identified differently than the gender they are use it to refer to themselves. Transexual is basically out, though.

Beats the poo poo out of being greeted by his two year old self saying "hi tinyman!" as that's what I would say to him in a greeting and his toddler brain just thought that's what I was called and mimicked it.

therobit posted:“Convinced herself of things that never happened” means either physical or sexual abuse, doesn’t it? Could be that, could be just remembering especially egregious moments of emotional abuse. Like, mom had a campaign of criticizing food choices, and let the mask slip once saying "honey you can't wear that swim suit, you're too fat" and then tried to pretend like it never happened, because it makes the abuse too obvious.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Been said that it's not weird for kids to watch the same thing repeatedly. They're kids, it's all new to them and every watch is likely them spotting and figuring out new things they didn't get before. If that drives you crazy, give the kid some space to watch things on their own. My son has seen a particular Raffi kids concert an uncountable number of times. He's nearly three. One day last week, I got up with him, took him to the living room, and started work. He got his plastic guitar out, brought his little chair over, and sung me the entire concert word for word while pretending to strum on his guitar while I worked and sometimes sang along with him. Kids learn by repetition, and as you've said, everything is new and exciting and stuff they like they want to keep repeating. I think it's adorable and good, developmentally.

Pumping and bottle feeding (as well as supplementing with formula) ruled when my son was born. My spouse had some issues with latching, so breastfeeding was painful and frustrating, and having bottles ready and accepted meant that I could do the late night feedings (or any other time) without waking up/bothering them, leaving them free to rest or shower or take care of house stuff, as well as recover. Husband in the story is absolutely trying to dodge responsibility, and that's not going to get any better as the kid ages.

DTMFA.

Hookup culture developed by horny idiots has taken over the scene and it's now near impossible to find a person who's actually trying in some form. People have begun to treat dating as something casual or trivial when it really isn't. Gotta source your quotes.
