Who the gently caress puts their kid in karate anymore. BJJ is way better, particularly for kids. Beat the piss out of someone while not leaving any marks so there's deniability unless the teachers show up while jr is choking the kid. also content: My (25F) husband (26M) broke our dogs leg, I'm worried for the child I'm currently carrying. Hello all, throw away for obvious reasons. So, I'm a big pet lover. We have several dogs, reptiles, frogs and small animals. I work in the pet care industry and have recently lost my job due to the shutdown. That being the case, I've been home a lot more often, and I noticed the animals aren't attached the him like me. I thought nothing of it, as I care for them mainly and had most of them before we got together. Our pets have their own room, and yesterday I went to let out dogs out and our 5lb Chihuahua mix was limping and putting no weight on his leg. My husband jokingly said a few minutes before I checked on him, "I got Rufus to stop scratching the door." I thought nothing of it until my poor dog was unable to move. I took him to the vet and they did x-rays and let me know Rufus's hip was broken. They said being so small it could be because he jumped off the furniture and hurt himself, as he's rather old as well. My husband later admitted that he lost his temper, picked Rufus up the the scruff, and beat him. He feels incredibly guilty and wants nothing to do with any of the pets now. I found out yesterday I'm pregnant, and I'm worried he may loose his temper with a newborn much worse then Rufus's constant scratching. What do I do? I love this man and we've been married half a decade now.

Chomp8645 posted:My most wild Yelling Neighbor moment was a drunk marine who was yelling on the phone to his grandmother of all people. He wasn't yelling at her, but he very angry that she was going to jail. Apparently granny had embezzled something like $100,000 from a medical scholarship fund, and while the trial was still technically pending/ongoing, the case against her was iron solid. He ranted about what an injustice it was that she was going to go to prison for this (she spent some of the money helping out family, so she was good!) and proposed increasingly wild ways of saving her from this fate. These escalated from simply absconding with her to Mexico, to murdering her prosecutor, to conducting a future armed raid on the jail to free her. She had to talk to him down from each of these plans and he was only reluctantly convinced not to intervene. He then moved on to the topic of the pending revolution in America that he knew was inevitable. This was somewhere circa 2012 - 2014, so the purpose of this supposed people's revolution was to overthrow the tyrannical Obama administration. ten to one that guy has a blue lives matter bumper sticker but casually suggests armed action against the state when it suits him.

Motronic posted:While there are SO many other issues here, I'd just like to ask if side zip boots aren't a thing anymore? I've been out of fire/ems for a while, but the uniform store had more side zip boots than regular ones. The look just like normal boots with laces, but you ties them up once so they fit you, and then you unzip the thing (to the inside of each foot) and can get in and out. Everyone I worked with had at least one pair of these which were always used at the "on call" (i.e. I'm probably sleeping) boots that you put next to your bed. What are the demands of an EMS' job that require special footwear. Like why can't you wear green patch Blundstones or something, I wore those for construction for a dog's age and they're great. Tying laces is a hassle, plus they break in the middle of the day and you got a loose shoe all afternoon walking around.

Great for emptying a deep fryer into as well, holds a shitload of liquid, and there's a huge open top with a screw lid. pouring fat down the drain like textbook tragedy of the commons to me, particularly if you live in an apartment building.

Invisible Clergy posted:Cool. I really enjoy posting in this thread, you know. Where else can you have an exchange like that on the internet? I smoked for about ten years, in my teens and into my early twenties. My parents let me know they didn't approve of me smoking so I tried to hide it from them when I lived there. My girlfriend saw my mom smoking a few times in my late teens, and my dad caught her once. She'd smoked for years and allegedly quit but I think she just cut back a poo poo ton and smoked one or two on the way to work. So me and my mom were both hiding our smoking from each other and my dad. Like some prisoner's dilemma type poo poo.

He considered he might be an rear end in a top hat, without anyone yelling at him. I wonder if he'll see people calling him an rear end in a top hat and use that as an impetus to change? I don't get what it is about expensive as hell gaming computers that makes people act irresponsibly. Like that goon who did the thread about CPS taking his kids and it rapidly came out that he lived in a hoarder's paradise of a trailer and had recently priced out/bought a 3k computer, while his trailer cost like 1200 bucks and had holes in it. He turned his poo poo around, granted. But that initial decision to buy that computer was batshit to me.

I do not think I have ever, or he has ever, gotten food alone and not saved a little something, like even just a mint or chocolate from the restaurant candy bowl. It is fun to share, and it feels good to make other people feel considered and loved. food is always better shared. Plus, like, order a next when the first one gets there and you've got a second to look forward to. This woman got off work early to be with her fella for a change on a Saturday night and instead of him going "oh poo poo you're home, wicked, let me order more chow" he turns into a toddler not wanting to share and then blames her for it. What a complete berk.

Bruceski posted:Back in the 60s or 70s my dad was a surveyor in central/eastern Oregon for power lines and the like. Sometimes it was working his way through wilderness with nobody around for miles, other times you'd get someone VERY protective of their land who figured anyone poking around was up to no good. Never heard any details, he just made an offhand comment about that once and it stuck. I did it for 15 years. It has its moments. Mostly your time is spent looking for a place to piss. One time we were surveying a house in a really tony hood and one of the guys on my crew, this Albanian guy named Fred, who had been in Canada for about a year and was an absolute loving beauty, literally just started pissing on a fence, on the street, in broad daylight. Some older woman walked past and made a comment that she could call the police on my buddy Fred. I mentioned to Fred that we needed to be somewhat discreet in where we chose to fertilize and he said "but in Big Daddy they do it". As apparently, in Albania, they take their societal cues from Sandler movies. After that, Fred could do no wrong as far as I was concerned. olylifter fucked around with this message at 04:48 on Apr 18, 2021 |

This is r/legaladvice but I think it woulda worked in r/relationships. Update: neighbor bangs on wall when our baby cries and nothing can be done about it? Short version: In October 2020, my husband and I were renting in a duplex where my FIL owned the half we lived in, and a separate family (adult daughter acting as caregiver to elderly mother) owned the other half. We brought our son home from the NICU in August, and towards the end of September the neighbor (40sF) started to pound on the shared wall if she could hear him cry. The pounding escalated over the next two months. The neighbor bought a megaphone to yell through the wall and threatened to “rip us apart”, she called us child predators, and she’d yell obscenities and threats until 3 or 4 in the morning. The police were called multiple times, nothing could be done about it. One officer told us “I’m going to kill you. See, it doesn’t mean anything if I don’t actually do it.” The elderly mother hadn’t been seen in several months, but requests for wellness checks were brushed off. The general advice I got was that as renters, we couldn’t do anything. It was also suggested that this was reasonable behavior, since the crying baby was probably really annoying. Since my first post, we moved in with my grandmother for our safety. The neighbor ended up busting a softball sized hole through the shared wall to scream at us, and occasionally just stare at us. The smell that came out of the hole was indescribably bad. Our security cameras recorded her coming to my son’s nursery window at around 2am almost daily, just staring and holding her cat. It took until the end of January for the police to be able to enter her property. The elderly mother had been deceased since at least June, and the daughter had the corpse dressed in her Sunday best, rotting in a dead bolted bedroom. The news article said the mother died from natural causes. The daughter was taken to an inpatient psychiatric facility. https://old.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/nayl5z/update_neighbor_bangs_on_shared_duplex_wall_when/

This poo poo is like a loving r/relationships bingo card My [28F] husband [29M] lied to me We have been married for 3 years with 5 kids and thought we had a solid relationship. 4 months ago, my husband came to me and announced he had quit his job. He wanted to have a job that is a work from home job and would take a pay cut if needed. I was concerned but as I was making a lot of money from my job, I decided to take a chance. During those 4 months, he delegated more and more of the housework to me while leaving every night to what he said was blowing off stress. I encouraged him to keep looking but he said he wanted to give up. I decided to call his former employees to see of they can take him back. To my shock, they said he didn't quit but was fired for poor work performance and punching a supervisor in the face. I confronted him about this and he initially denied. I pressed on until he finally gave in, admitting he didn't want to seem like a bad guy. He even hid the unemployment money (which we could have used) to go gamble. I angrily told him to watch our kids while I spend a night at the hotel. I'm really torn on what to do. A divorce could bring added stress to our children but I don't know how I can trust my husband anymore. What do I do?

thirteen motherfucking years of holidays being ruined by your insane mother in law. the girlfriend deserves a loving medal. My Son’s Girlfriend Won’t Take the Hint That I Hate Her Dear Prudence, I hate my son’s girlfriend of 13 years. They are high school sweethearts who are now 30 and talking about buying property and eventually starting a family together. He currently lives at home and helps pay my mortgage, among other things. If he leaves, I will be forced to sell the house and adjust to a new lifestyle. I feel she will keep me away from my son when they move out. I have tried everything to split them apart and often make her feel unwelcome in my home and talk about her negatively to almost anyone who will listen. I even make her bring her own food when she stays here. Why can’t she just get the point that no one wants her here and move on!? What else can I do to get rid of her? —Desperate Mom Dear Desperate, Is this real? I almost feel like this is the son’s girlfriend writing in the voice of her future mother-in-law to make a point about how terribly she’s being treated. Because how could someone type this out, read it over, and not realize they were the bad guy? But OK, “Mom,” I’ll play along. I’m obviously not going to change your whole approach to life with this letter. I’m not going to tell you to totally alter the way you think about your relationship with your son. I won’t remind you that in the United States, in 2021, adults generally get to move out and have their own lives and aren’t expected to make parents their first priority. Because you don’t seem to care about your son’s happiness. And you don’t seem to care about how awful you’re being to this woman who has done nothing wrong. (If she had, I’m sure you would have mentioned it.) But I can see that you love your son very much and want to have as much contact with him as possible, and I can offer a tip that might help you get there. To get what you want, you have to pretend to be a kind and sensible human. And I think we both know this is going to require some acting. What will that look like? You invite the two of them over. Tell them you support their plan to buy a home and while it will be tough on you, you will adjust. Apologize for the way you’ve behaved and explain that while it was inspired by your obsessive love for your son, you now understand that it was beyond inappropriate and often cruel and want to make amends. Ask for a fresh start. For the love of God, offer that woman some food! I know this won’t be easy for you, but it’s a means to an end: having a relationship with the person you love most in the world. The alternative is that he’s going to resent you and spend less and less time with you. Even if you manage to drive this woman away, there will be another one, and I have a feeling you’ll hate her too. So the answer to “What can I do to get rid of her?” is “Nothing.” And the answer to the question you didn’t ask but should have—“What can I do to make sure my son doesn’t completely get rid of me?”—is “Pretend to be reasonable.” Fake it until you make it. You might discover that this is a better way to live.
