30 Of The Best Reactions Texans Had To Being Told Not To Use ACs During A Heatwave

Not for me either. I see all vertical lines as blurry and horizontal lines as sharp, but other than that, there's no distortion.

Woman Shares What Helped Her To Create The Life She Has Now By Advising People To "Work On The Weekends", Sparks A Debate On Twitter

Nah. I worked a ton of hours at my first job as a twenty something because I thought that way. Still got thrown away like a used Kleenex when I hurt my hand at work. The moment my physical therapy was over, I lost my job. The only time it makes sense to work weekends is if you're your own boss and building your business. If you're working for someone else, they need to pay you for every minute you work.

35 Things That Get A Lot Of Hate But It's Undeserved

Sometimes they do want a tummy rub. My tortoiseshell kitty asks for tummy rubs regularly, but she only wants them from me. No one else gets to touch the tummy.

35 Things That Get A Lot Of Hate But It's Undeserved

Yup. My cats are the sweetest, friendliest creatures one could possibly imagine. But they do have claws and teeth and I'm sure they could defend themselves quite competently if provoked. We don't mistreat them, so they don't mistreat us.

The flip side of that is that if your strongest relationship is with your spouse, and you neglect all your other relationships (not just with the kid, but with your other family and friends), what happens when you divorce? Happens to 60% of all marriages.

People Online Shared 37 Stories Of When Their Decisions Or Mistakes Changed The Course Of Their Lives

I went to a grocery store and saw a flyer on a bulletin board. At the time, I'd given up on being any sort of musician, for many many years. The flyer was for a music-related society specializing in a very narrow and obscure genre. I went to the meeting to check it out. Ten years later, I am now pretty well known in that genre, performed at festivals all over the world, and my musical life is thriving. All from one grocery store flyer.

Grandma Wants To Finally Start Living For Herself, So She ‘Retires' From Taking Care Of Her Grandkids, Upsets Her Daughter

Or grandma may just want to not have a family anymore. My wife's parents are fleeing like that. They maybe saw their grandchildren once a year, maybe twice. Babysat our daughter exactly once in her life, for two hours. Hardly a burden worth fleeing from. They'll come crawling back when they're the ones who need help, as will the Grandma in this post.

Everyone feels that way until it happens to them. Which is why smart parents take precautions before it happens.

Grandma Wants To Finally Start Living For Herself, So She ‘Retires' From Taking Care Of Her Grandkids, Upsets Her Daughter

My in laws are like that - we saw them maybe once a year, even though they lived in the same city as us. Same reasoning: they did their bit and they don't want any more family. My daughter barely knows them - couldn't pick them out of a lineup. We did fine without their help - babysitters exist - but they won't have such an easy time finding old-age care when they need it. I, for one, am not terribly motivated to help out.

Grandma Wants To Finally Start Living For Herself, So She ‘Retires' From Taking Care Of Her Grandkids, Upsets Her Daughter

Dunno. "Can you babysit while I'm in labor?" sounds neither selfish nor spoiled, and isn't an unreasonable ask of a family member. The daughter is a SAHM and a grownup and doesn't require as much assistance as a teenage mom would. But they'll miss out. The daughter will find another babysitter much easier than they'll find another family member to take care of them.

What changed was rear facing car seats. In a front facing car seat, you can see the baby from your rear view mirror. In a rear facing car seat, you can't, and if the baby is sleeping, you don't know whether the seat is full or empty.

The people who are judging parents who have this sort of fail safe device are the people who won't have such a fail safe device, and who will, in fact, forget their child in a hot car. Get sleep deprived and frazzled enough, and you WILL do this. Unless you foresee yourself being sleep deprived and frazzled enough to do this, and come up with a prevention strategy. What next - judging people who get into car accidents for wanting to kill someone?

Humiliation is never a good parenting strategy. And putting the child into a humiliating situation on purpose - ie having to change clothes or be naked in public - is pretty much the definition of abuse. With the self confidence I have now, I'd probably just humiliate the hell out of "parents" like that instead - walk around naked, scratch various embarrassing itches in my bedroom, poop with the door open - that sort of thing. Heck, do it when visiting a relative, too - leave the door open when I use the bathroom and say it's so my parents can watch me. But I definitely didn't have the balls to do that when I was a teenager.

Grandma Wants To Finally Start Living For Herself, So She ‘Retires' From Taking Care Of Her Grandkids, Upsets Her Daughter

Grandma's in for a nursing home when she gets old, instead of aging in place supported by family. Hope she's ok with that after her "retirement". Moving away from family to age is not a good idea.

Folks Online Are Sharing Stories About The Times They Were Called Out For Not Speaking English In The US

Same here. The kindness of Americans is seriously underreported and understated. There are countries where trying to speak their language will get you nothing but derision. Americans are nicer than that.

Woman Shares What Helped Her To Create The Life She Has Now By Advising People To "Work On The Weekends", Sparks A Debate On Twitter

American's attitude to work is so toxic. I am UK based, but a few months back I had to temporarily line manage a worker in our NY office. Both her parents were hospitalised with Covid and she didn't tell me for two weeks. When she did, she asked whether it would be possible to take her ENTIRE year's leave allocation (4 weeks) to care for them when they came home. I said "absolutely not, I'll sign you off on compassionate leave- take as long as you need". She literally didn't understand what I meant. She asked me whether she would lose her job if she went away for a few weeks and I got a contractor in to cover her work! She asked me if she would need to pay the company back for the cost of her cover- because apparently even that is a thing in the US!!!! She was reluctant to take it because she assumed she would be unpaid!!". Absolute madness that Americans have internalised all those things as normal workplace practices!

Marriage Mentor Illustrates What Happens When Parents Have Stronger Emotional Bonds With Kids Than With Spouses

Now when it gets really messed up is when one partner refuses to be emotionally attached to the children and only defines themselves by their relationship with their partner. That's when you get a situation where any emotional attachment to the children is taken as an imposition. That tends to lead to a lot of unhappy families and divorces.

A Texas Bakery Loses A Large Order After Posting About Their Pride Month Cookies And People Come In Crowds To Support Them

People who whine about "cancel culture" are actually the ones who invented it. They've cancelled truth, love, honesty, compassion, and caring about your community. I don't know why ANYONE would choose to steep themselves in such bitter toxicity; you notice how these people are always full of hate and rage and victimhood? Enough. Don't be right wing; it slowly kills you (and people around you) and it sure as hell isn't loving, kind, or uplifting.

Are we sure we really said her parents are obligated to raise her children? She's a stay at home mom now, it doesn't sound like she's looking for full time child care. Maybe she just does want them to be normal, but involved grandparents this time.

Once upon a time, a Nigerian family named Eshiet (doesn't rhyme with sh*t by the way) had a baby and named her 'Peace' (a beautiful name IMO), now they are being called toxic on the internet by people who forget that other languages besides English exist.

Homophobes Swim For Help To The Pride Boat They Were Just Harassing After Their Own Boat Explodes

I saw this on TikTok, and while they helped the homophobes, I would have not allowed them to board my boat. I would have been scared for my physical well being and I would NOT have been as nice as them. As I am part of the LGBTQ+ community, I am also black, and I do not know what whould happened if I let them onboard.

Excuse me?? How is this posted under "Toxic parents who never should have had children"? For starters, any parent using this seems great to me. Extra safety measures. Secondly, don't ever imply only "bad" parents forget their kids. A rushed morning, a change in routine, a sleeping child, stress.. There are so many examples of wonderful parents who made this one, horrible mistake and will never ever forgive themselves for it, even though it could happen to the best of us.

Tempting as it might have been to leave the nasty little lackwits, you can’t. You always offer help to another boater; people even drop out of races to assist someone in trouble. It’s just what decent people do. And karma happens faster on the water than anywhere else, but damn! Adrestia was on the ball this time!

Yeah, we had a similar story in my country too (I think it's the same one). It was really heartbreaking. I felt nothing but empathy for those parents who were sleep deprived and overworked. They made a tiny mistake that had dramatic consequences. Imagine living with that...
