OtherMy 11 yr old recently came out to me as maybe being gay. I said h**l yeah. Tonight they told me they want to be called they/she pronouns and want a binder for their birthday. It quickly escalated to “you’re making me feel guilty and I shouldn’t have told you” and tears. I said I’m not opposed to being non binary, but you haven’t even had your period yet, maybe chill on the binder. Additional...
ParentingI share two sons (11m) and (7m) with my ex. He left me for his wife three years ago, they got married right after the divorce. I mention this because there are some tensions present due to this and also due to the fact my former ILs and I got along so well and have not been welcoming toward ex's new wife. So anyway, ex and his wife put the boys in football and a church thing on their time. Ex a...
Family ConflictI 25F and my husband 31M have been trying for a baby for the past 5 years. We finally succeeded and now I'm 36 weeks pr****nt. Recently I've been finalizing my birth plan and talking to my doctor about what I would like to happen both during and after birth. We were over my mother in laws house one day while me and my husband were talking about it. She overheard us talking about it and comment...
OtherI have a 13 year old daughter (almost 14) who is in 8th grade. School let us know about the graduation trip which she really wants to go to but we have been dealing with some behavioral issues. I told her she needs to behave before I would sign her up. A few days went by and I told her it wasn’t enough time yet. I needed to see more. She was afraid the trip would be filled up and she would be ...
OtherMy nephew doesn’t know that I have some money saved away for his schooling. Not a ton about 40k. It’s not a college fund just some mutual funds I have. My brother and I agreed not to tell him until he graduated college because we wanted him to work hard and get scholarships rather than rely on the money. I don’t have any children of my own so this is my way of looking out for him since my brot...
OtherI (15M) go to school with a guy I’ll call Jake. Jake has high functioning autism and is also a bully. He wont ever try on someone bigger than him (like me), but he will go after smaller guys, and seems to really like to go after the girls. He will always say he didn’t understand what he said was inappropriate and he is never held accountable by the teachers. So on Monday he was really harpi...
Food & DietI am 28 years old and have been with my boyfriend for about a year. I have several food allergies: gluten, dairy, and sh**lfish. My boyfriend's family invited me over for a big homemade dinner. I told his mom ahead of time that I have allergies, as they already know this, but I remind them because I have had a couple of incidents with them due to this. She said, "Don't worry, we’ll have som**h...
OtherI (27m) am a part-time DJ, mostly doing events for family and friends for a little side cash. Last weekend I was invited to DJ on the cheap at a wedding for a friend of a friend. While everyone was dancing, a guest named Kevin asked me to play “Golden Hour.” Even though guests were actively dancing, I honored the instruction to take all requests. When the song started, the dance floor cleared,...
OtherMy wife is an anesthesiologist, and I am an interventional cardiologist. As a result, my all three of my children (25F, 21F, 17F) grew up extremely privileged. Being born when we were both es**blished already, they have never seen what life is like under a family income of 800,000 dollars. My eldest two children are both planning on following in our footsteps and are planning on pursuing medic...
Family ConflictI (55m) discovered evidence that my wife Jennifer (53f) was having an affair with Nathan (23m). When I confronted her, she was aggressive and argumentative. She said I have no reason to act all high and mightly, because I was sleeping with our neighbor and Nathan's mom Naomi (47f). Jennifer was shocked when I provided proof that I wasn't. Jennifer then claimed that Nathan had manipulated he...
OtherSo I (32F) have a younger brother, “Mark” (29M). He’s always been a bit of a show-off, the type who loves to flaunt his “success.” But honestly, he’s not really successful. He’s got an average job, but he lives like he’s rolling in money: high-rise apartment, designer clothes, fancy dinners, frequent vacations…you get the idea. All of this on a salary that, trust me, doesn’t come anywhere clos...
RelationshipSo in every holiday celebration (Christmas in this case) I make a list of the people I'm buying gifts for and what type of gifts I'm buying. I struggled with mistreatment in my previous job but got fortunate enough to now be working in a very friendly envirnment with amazing co workers and an amazing boss. My boss has stood by my side in many many instances and I decided to include him in my g...
