OtherMy (33F) daughter “Cleo” (5yo) hates pink. She has disliked the color and almost everything to do with it since she was about three or so. She has one pink shirt she likes and one pink stuffed animal, and that’s it. My father’s partner, “Prue,” refuses to accept that Cleo doesn’t like pink. Over the years, she’s made several attempts to push the color onto her (pretty much every gift she’s ever...
RelationshipMy husband (33) has a habit of making up excuses to get out of work. Simply for just not feeling like working on certain days. This has affected us financially because his boss kept lowering his salary as a result. I had to get a 2nd job. He's now bought a ps5 from his 14yo cousin and started playing with it day and night. Meanwhile missing work and lying to his boss about why he does it. This...
OtherMy daughters (11/10) both have purple hair. They love it this way and have been getting it dyed since they were 6 (with caution). They were invited to a little girl's birthday/Halloween party under the condition they have their hair dyed a natural color. I asked why and the mother insisted their hair would take away from birthday pictures cause they'd draw attention. I asked if my daughters co...
ParentingMy neighbor's dog recently got pr****nt and she claims my dog did it, which is likely because her dog often escaped into my yard and she lets her dog roam around it. It's annoying cuz her dog s**ts in my yard. Well now that she's pr****nt she's p**sed because hers was a purebred and she wanted to breed it. She says she's ent*tled to financial compensation and I'll have to pay "child support" fo...
Family ConflictBasically I [20M] recently started a job where I have mostly female coworkers. Amongst them is a small group who all have young kids around the same age. They go to mum-and-kid activities together, babysit each other's kids, have coffee mornings, hang out at the weekends etc. There is one coworker who has complained to her a few times that she feels deliberately left out by this group. She ref...
ParentingMy wife and I have been married for nearly 7 years. She cheated on me with a coworker of hers about 5 years back. I've been sus**cious for the entire year that she was doing it again. And I was correct. Not sure with who but she lies like a rug now and takes zero response. She blames me for her actions. I've been an utterly trainwreck. Depression, too much booze, anxiety through the roof. A...
OtherMy (16m) name is Nico and it's not short for anything. On my birth certificate it says Nico middle name last name. This is som**hing a few people can't understand and some people call me Nicholas. Even teachers who see me on the cla*s list as Nico and not Nicholas. I'm a foster kid. I've been in the system since I was 2. My mom is the only bio family I know but she's not able to take care o...
RelationshipMy wife and I have been married for 6 years now and she keeps getting p**sed at me for googling or researching things when I find I might be incorrect or am incorrect about som**hing, or when I'm curious about a statement my wife has said. I know it's probably not the best practice, but I have explained to her I don't do it to try and prove who's wrong or right, just trying to improve my knowle...
OtherI [17M] have a twin sister [17F]. Our parents have always kind of had us compete with each other and are especially sticklers for academics. My sister has always done much better than me on that front. Tbh, I've always found school very frustrating. It's not like I'm thick or anything, I know loads of stuff and often know the answers in cla*s, I've just always struggled with focusing and putti...
RelationshipFor context, my girlfriend and I have been together for a year and a half and living together for 6 months up to this point. She owns a dog prior to our relationship, and at this point, I have built a relationship with this dog and have taken care of it as if it was own as it also lives with us. I came home from work and decided that I wanted to take the dog a shower to alleviate some burden of h...
OtherMe M37 and my wife F30 have a ten months old son and recently started sleeping in his own room. We live in a small apartment. My wife works for an marketing company and it requires her to go on trips at least once a month. She invited her 27 year old brother to stay with us for a few weeks since he lost his job and is incapable of paying rent- I didn't think it was a good Idea since the place ...
RelationshipI've been with my girlfriend for over five years over which time I've told her a few fairy stories that were more like practical joke time-b**bs than lies. I always expected them to get found out. One of them was that I was born in the Australian bush far from a hospital (true), and when my mother went into labor, my father rushed to her to the hospital in his ute (Australian pickup truck) (tru...
