Also 'born sleeping' in relation to her own stillbirth while using the term 'stillbirth' in relation to her sister's is an interesting distinction.

it's entirely possible that her son was born alive but died shortly afterward, which isn't the same as a stillbirth

Hey look, I skipped like four pages and there's finally no more performative wokeness about that girl whose brother snipped her bras in retaliation.

I learned a lot about the intricacies of a patriarchal society from that story of two teenage siblings getting back at each other.

i don't know why you, after recognizing how awful that conversation was and how much better off the thread was now that it was over, would then decide to resurrect it on this heretofore untainted page

No, not at all. She's being a huge jerk! But it's also a dick move to use your financial success as leverage over your partner.

If he were saying "no, you have to eat meat to live in my house", that would be using money as leverage over her. What he is actually saying is "it's my house and I'll eat meat here if I want to", which is not using it as leverage over her. He's saying that she has no leverage to force him to do anything.

ultimately though if he doesn't want to become a vegan then he should probably just dump her because I've never once encountered a successful relationship where only one person was vegan. either the vegan relentlessly browbeats and cajoles the other person until they finally give in, or the vegan eventually either gives it up or mellows out into being just a regular vegetarian, or they have a very unpleasant breakup.

Both of these are using the fact that you make more money to win the argument. Whether the argument is dumb or unreasonable is beside the point I'm making.

He's not declaring that by divine right of superior earning power he is the one in charge and is right. He's literally just saying "this is my home and you don't get to decide what I eat here". Hell, he never even says that he makes more money than her, just that he is the one who paid for the house.

Yeah, like, you can say there were false positives and expand on that without going 'it's not a real thing', you hear stories all the time about, um... it happening and people confessing. Babies are delicate.
it's obviously a real thing in that you can hurt or kill a baby by shaking it but I honestly can't tell why it'd be considered a syndrome. Maybe I'm being stupid or missing something here but isn't that like saying that someone has "Hit by a car Syndrome" or "Kicked in the nuts Disorder"?

I think the key thing in the update post is that the husband refuses to allow Gaylord as even a middle name, which imo is p. unreasonable.

it's an improvement but really just takes the situation from "my son will be relentlessly and mercilessly bullied and will enter high school with the general demeanor of a vietnam veteran" to "my son has a chance at a normal life but will carry a terrible secret that, if discovered by his peers, will cause them to fall upon him like a pack of starving wolves and tear him apart with their bare hands"

sure, but I don't think anyone would describe Rowling as a fake celebrity. regardless of the fact that she now spends most of her days saying weird and sometimes horrible poo poo on twitter she is actually a legitimately incredibly well-known person for reasons other than her increasingly bad opinions and her habit of popping up to declare that the magic wizards in her children's book series are making GBS threads themselves and jerking each other off literally 100% of the time that they're not in the current scene.

katie hopkins, meanwhile, was first extruded into the public consciousness by virtue of being a reality tv contestant, after which she wrote a newspaper column that everyone forgot existed until she got fired from it for being too racist. she's basically exactly who you would describe as a ""celebrity""

it's overly theatrical but I can understand really hating the taste of something and not eating it, especially if it's just one specific thing and not the usual picky eater thing of "everything except chicken nuggets"

however, if you steal someone's food and then get mad because they didn't make it in a way that you like, you are incredibly obnoxious and self-centered

I would be on board with this except the ages of those involved:

I [15M] have been sent to live with my grandfather [70M] and nobody tells me why. My parents [50M, 45F] don't talk to me and my sisters [18F, 17F] have blocked me.

While it's possible, your scenario seems very unlikely given the ages.

Unless of course there is a cousin or neighbor involved. Even then, this seems... unlikely? for a 15 year old? Not that a 15 year old isn't capable of horrible things, but for something like this you'd think it would be ongoing, and how long could it have been ongoing given the young age of the OP?

the obvious answer is: turns out his dad isn't his dad

That's gotta be removed by the mods for being an obvious troll right? Nobody could write that out and be like "I was just doing her a favour! Geez women are so emotional"

it's extremely understandable for her to be furious with him, and is exactly what you would expect out of anyone in that situation. The fact that he is somehow surprised that his daughter is upset over the fact that he killed her dog which she was willing to sacrifice a lot for means that he is, in fact, a giant moron.

however, what he did is honestly probably better for both his daughter and the dog. Bankrupting herself in order to keep her poor dog trapped in its deteriorating flesh prison for a couple more years was not a good thing.

why do people do this poo poo when picking kids names?
people are desperate to be unique and special and stand out from the crowd and one of the ways they do this is to go "oh you named your child Steven? How pedestrian. My child is named Moonwarryor." they kind of mentally think of their incoming child like it's a pet or something because it's not an actual person yet, just the idea of one that will exist in the future, and it's not like the baby will understand and go "don't name me that you huge idiot".

they don't really think about or remember that unlike a dog it doesn't stay perpetually dumb and cute until it dies but will instead eventually become an actual adult human that will resent the fact that they've permanently afflicted it with a stupid name

i don't think he had any plan on doing a kegger, he was just at this thing for 2 hours and saw that everyone was desperately bored but too polite to say anything about it or leave, as evidenced by the fact that everyone went along with it instead of staring at him in horrified silence punctuated by the sound of monocles shattering on the floor

ultimately he had a choice between allowing 2 dozen people to suffer through hours of extreme dullness or piledriving his wife's self-esteem into the pavement and he has to live with the consequences of his decisions

EDIT: Like what I suspect is the DM is into this and writing down personal horrible wank fantasies and everyone else would be just as shocked.

yeah it seems like she's jumping to conclusions about it being the whole group in on it when it's probably just one specific weirdo but at the same holy gently caress that's creepy and I feel like "flee" was a perfectly valid kneejerk reaction to it

I think "the worst mistake I ever made in my life was adopting you" is beyond the pale. No matter how angry you are, you don't tell your children that. Other than that, yeah, totally justified in saying the family won't take her back.

it's pretty clear that she never really considered them to be her parents. She was with them for a couple of years as a teenager, then secretly reconnected with her birth family and cut all contact with her adopted family as soon as they'd finished paying her way through college. Didn't even go to the funeral of someone who was theoretically her mom, and maintained absolutely no contact with them whatsoever until her birth family imploded and she needed help again. You can choose what relationship you have with your adoptive family versus your biological family but you don't get to just keep one of them as a backup in case you need money. If you choose to cut the relationship, then it's cut, and you don't get to show up and go "surprise I really did love you the whole time! Can I have some money?" And if you do, the person you're coming to gets to say "yeah, well, I don't really consider you my daughter" and send you away.
