“I Was Baffled”: Argument Ensues After Friends Said Man Can’t Take His 5-Year-Old Daughter On Their Annual Fishing Trip

oh, hell no! i started fishing when i was young and i am not an old fart. in fact, i have a son and two grandsons and they are not the avid fishermen that i thought they would me. i would take them with me but they can take it or leave it. i consider fishing whether in a boat or off the bank like my personal valium where i regenerate. i wait for every thaw to go. this year sucks because i had a surgery in may and am recovering only to have a second in august. i miss it. i always go alone until recently when my son told me that because of my disability i needed to get one of the grandpeople. he's afraid i will fall in and become a floater and he wants a bobber. i so need to find a fishing buddy for next year.

30 Of The Most Startling Windshield Notes Folks Have Ever Found, As Shared In This Online Community

i hate this kind of c**p! prior to retiring due to disability i would have 'good' days where i appeared just fine and bad days where i had to use crutches to move. people thought i was making it up to the point that my supervisor asked me to detail the disease that i had (she was the only one that knew). finally did it but also told them that it was a violation of my privacy and i didn't expect to get any c**p from any of them.

Guy Abandons His Pregnant Fiancée And Disappears, Throws A Tantrum When It Turns Out That She Named The Babies Herself

guy is an asshat! per OP he wanted kids then reality set in so he jumped. now he wants them to have his name, a literal branding that these are his kids. good for her as she will be there for them. the name game is crazy when it comes to marriage & kids. i didn't take my ex's name & was married for 32 yrs. my son has my name, not his although he is bio dad. my reasoning is too long to put here but it was never an issue w/my ex bc as he said, 'i'm on the birth certificate'. only issue was when my son went into service bc they said he had to have his name hyphenated. it's an ego issue for this guy and nothing else.

Family Divided After Mom Tells Pregnant Daughter She And Her Husband Will Not Raise The Baby

my son's wife passed when his son was only 3 mos old. son was 21 at the time. he came home to live w/us and we helped out a lot. we eventually moved & got a house w/an apt upstairs. this allowed us to help but have his own home. but, when he got a job a distance away we had to discuss his son. finally agreed that he would stay w/us as it was only home(s) he had known (he was 4 at the time) as well as not knowing of adequate child care where he was working. he always was home on the weekends and been a part of his life as much as he could. fast forward 13 yrs & he eventually remarried. he has a son now 7. we are very close to the point that he lives next door but they live their lives independently. due to health issues i feel bad i can't give as much attention as i did the first child. i have never considered him an absent parent. but, the daughter in this story is very much an absent parent and her folks are on point for putting their foot down.

yes, after several days my ex contacted me to arrange a drop off. however, it was clear that while he may have been fed he was not taken care of as he had a diaper rash that was blistering and bruises. (i fled to a battered women's shelter when i left him-like a covert mission w/a good friend willing to scoop me up as soon as he left for work.) went back to court & w/his record got an order for not only supervised visitations but w/option for me to have armed protection. the latter was provided by a retire detective. son now 42; lives next door.

30 ‘Horror Stories’ From Sailors, Scuba Divers, And Surfers Who Have Seen Things In The Ocean They Wish They Could Forget

as a very new diver, i went out with a group in the caribbean. the water is so clear there and i was excited. however, shortly after the dive started i got water in my mask and had to stop to clear it. by the time i did this the group had gone around an outcropping of rock/coral so i was alone. it was the first time i realize how small and insignificant i was not to mention how vulnerable i was being in another creatures home. i peered into the distant blue expecting to see anything from a shark to a kraken. finally, i saw bubbles coming up from the other side of the outcropping and beat it over there. it was a scary moment for me but also a lesson keeping up with the group as well as making sure my equipment fit properly before i descend. still want to go back and get deep water certification.

420ish Lbs Sister-In-Law Destroys Beloved Garden Swing After Being Asked Not To Sit In It Because Of Its Weight Limit, Family Drama Ensues

i used to weigh close to 275 and i was always conscious of things that were suspended because of my weight. if i was ever in a situation that may have been similar to this i would not have attempted to sit. sounds like sil is just one of those people who feels that regardless of her weight she should be able to do it all - she even stated that they should make things like this for 'big girls'. (btw, they do.) she owes not only the money to replace but an apology for going off on this woman. i eventually lost over 100 and can't tell you how much of a kid i became in my 30s the first time i went to disneyland and was able to ride everything from mr toad's adventure to small world. the sad reality is that when you are bigger you are restricted from many things. sometimes weight is not a choice such as mine was due to medical issues undetected. other times a person just wants to eat or do whatever they want but, nonetheless, it is a choice. regardless of reason, the sil was in the wrong.

“What Career Seems To Attract An Unlikely Amount Of Idiots, Despite Being Intellectually Demanding?” (26 Answers)

yes! i come from a military family and, yes, i did marry a service member, i was also an ombudsman during my time as a military spouse. the amount of wives who wear their husband/wife's rank is terrible. best response i heard to one of these entitled wives was while waiting at the clinic. wife states she's lt so and so's wife and demands to be seen. another wife got up with a sick baby on her hip, looked at the corpman and said i'm third class so and so's wife and have been waiting to be seen. get over yourself - you make your living the same way i do - you sleep with a sailor.

“What Career Seems To Attract An Unlikely Amount Of Idiots, Despite Being Intellectually Demanding?” (26 Answers)

having a chronic illness i have been so fortunate to have really good nurses over the years when i have been in hospital. the only one i had issues with was when i had had surgery that left a 10 inch incision down my abdomen. the nurse came in to check the incision and when i saw her 1-2 inch painted nails i refused to let her touch me as she didn't even put gloves on. she got very indignant and i called for another nurse. i explained my position in that there is a ton of bacteria under nails and i didn't want her touching me with those talons. the second nurse excused the first nurse, donned some gloves and checked the wound. she then commented kind of casually that the other nurse had been counseled regarding her nails before. my grandmother was a nurse and the one thing she pounded into the grandkids was handwashing and keeping nails neat and relatively short because of bacteria.

Someone Asks People To Share Stories About What The "Worst Roommate Ever" Did To Earn Their Title, 30 Deliver

Hey Pandas, What Was Your Biggest Disappointment When You Visited A Foreign Country?

wow! maybe this person's experience regarding the food is because they don't know how to cook with local ingredients? every region of the world has produce that is easily accessible and there are amazing combinations to make which makes up a 'cuisine' of a region/nation. people like to make sarcastic comments about eastern europe regarding cabbage and potatoes but those are staples and can be made into very unique and varied foods. you just have to be willing to be adventurous and accepting when it comes to eating local foods. if not, then hit up the mcdonalds and realize that you could have watched a movie and stayed home for that experience.

Hey Pandas, What Was Your Biggest Disappointment When You Visited A Foreign Country?

i used to live in southern california so visited mexico many times. i loved the people - so warm and friendly. even the shop keepers whose job is to sell you things were great as i soon discovered that they really did like negotiating prices, especially if good natured exchanges happened. as for the food, i get it. the first time i went to mexico i made sure that i drank only bottled water/drinks and no ice in glasses. not that it was so unsanitary but we (foreigners in their country) was not used to it. however, i would not recommend eating any street food with any form of veg or fruit that was washed because....the water. made that mistake of chowing down on some delicious goodies that had shredded cabbage and veg only to bring back a souvenir i didn't want - a parasite. the dr had asked if i drank the water or ice-no. then, asked about produce. yup - that was it. other than that, mexico is still somewhere that i love.

Stepfather Gives His Kid A Lesson For Offending His Stepsister By Not Letting Him Go To His Friend's B-Day Party

i don't know how much time the mom and son had to live by themselves before he and his daughter moved in but it sounds like the son is resenting the fact that he has to 'share his' home. the mom should have made it clear that it isn't "their/his" as in mom/son's home but "their" as in all of them being a part of the home. and, yes, brother and sister, whether there is blood between them or not, can be jerks to each other. but, mom needs to step up with her discipline and counsel her son as anything the step dad says can be dismissed in the son's head as in 'you're not my dad' frame of mind.

"What Are You STILL Salty About?: 30 People Share Their Worst Injustice Moments In Life

40 yrs ago, my ex abducted my 18 mos old son during a scheduled visitation. i contacted my attorney who told me i had to wait at least 48 hrs before anything legally could be done. called work, told them of situation and that i wouldn't be in as i was going to try to find my son. spent entire day contacting people he knew, checking places he would go, etc. that night, i checked a couple of nightclubs that i knew he had friends at. but, while at one club a co worker saw me, told my manager that i was partying and i got fired. even providing the later police report didn't get me reinstated. still pisses me off that i wasn't even given the benefit of the doubt in such a crisis.

“He Told Me I Should Grow Up”: Man Returns His Future Wife’s Dream Wedding Dress Unbeknownst To Her Because It “Was Wasting Money”

NTA!!! and, btw...RUN!!!! as for his accusation of "her setting the dynamics" for their marriage i think he is putting enough effort towards trying to control/conform her to his personal agenda. if she goes through with the marriage then she should expect things like this to continue. and, if she does agree to a cheaper or rental dress then she should pack away the excess money for a divorce lawyer as i could see this in the future. agree to his demands, get the money and then cancel and get all the refunds she can from deposits on venue, caterers, etc. hopefully, if no refunds are available he paid the deposits and she can stick it those to him.

Woman Honors Her Mother’s Wish To Pass On Her Last $700 To The Youngest, “Parasite” Sister, Maliciously Complies

i have/had siblings that were like this (one is now deceased). they were 7 and 8 years older than me so in their minds my parents gave me everything which they didn't. they gave me my needs and some of my wants but not much. also, they couldn't understand that when i was growing up they were in a much better financial situation as they were born within the first 4 years of marriage. it got very bad in some ways, including if my mom/dad would give me anything from their home because they were getting a new one. it got to the point that one day when i was picking up an old sofa that my mom asked if i had a dollar. i thought that was strange and, since it was a saturday, asked if she needed cash for the weekend. she said no - she wanted the dollar in case one of them said anything and then she could tell them that i bought it from her...it wasn't any of their business for how much. then she giggled over this plan and it was something that became a joke between us. i sure do miss mom

i was married to a christian and we always had a give and take when it came to religion and their holidays. finally got him to attend a seder dinner at the temple. he was given gefilte fish and he quietly whispered it looked like a bowel movement left too long in the toilet (i was paraphrasing it nicely compared to what he said). but, it did enlighten him to the customs associated with the holiday. for him and his family, it was the feast of the fishes at christmas. i never knew fish could be not only prepped in so many ways. and, not only the fish but the courses before, during, and after with nuts, fruits, etc.

I was an Elon Musk fan. Mass Effect is one of my favourite franchises, and I saw Elon and SpaceX as a way of achieving something like the future in Mass Effect. Later I learned that he basically just takes all of the fame from the engineers, pumps and dumps crypto, is an idiot, and exploits the f**k out of his workers. He's a garbage human being that should shut up, and leave the companies he has as they have potential beyond his smug face. I still like SpaceX and I think they will probably lead to our future in space exploration, but Elon is on top of my s**t list, just like most if not all billionaires and millionaires. Especially the ones that are garbage to the people that made their company what they are today.
