OtherMy (20f) brother, Nate (28m) is going to get married to his fiancee, Emily (32f) in a week. I was extremely close to my brother growing up, he's my favorite out of all my siblings. However, when he started dating Emily, we kinda grew apart but we still talk often. Emily, on the other hand, we don't get along at all. She hasn't done anything to me, I haven't done anything to her, we just don't ...
ParentingI (24f) have 2 sets of twins first set are 5 years old boys and the second set are 3 year old girls. My husband (27) always complains that the house isn't up to his standards and that it's a mess or that I sometimes put on frozen meals instead of cooking a fresh dinner. It's super irritating because I'm expected to do everything just because I work from home he thinks that I have it easier t...
OtherI was adopted when I was 5 years old by a couple who were 28 and 30 at the time. They had no other children. This past year, two things happened. My adoptive father was diagnosed with cancer, and my adoptive mother got pr****nt for the first time in decades. My adoptive mother always thought she was infertile, but apparently her "miracle" had arrived. She carried on with her pregnancy despite ...
OtherI’m 33 and I had a serious drinking problem since a young age. My dad was an alcoholic so booze never lacked in our house. It nearly k**led me when I was only 27 and was in the ER for alcohol p***oning. It was too close a call and after that things had to change. With my wife’s support, I went to rehab and proud to say I’ve been sober 5 1/2yrs. My flatmate invited our friends over yesterday....
OtherSo as I write this I'm feeding my 7 week old son. I am totally in love with him, he is amazing. However... The process of bringing him into the world was not good. At. All. I had incredibly bad morning sickness, to the point that I weighed less at the end of my pregnancy than before I conceived (my bmi was 23 pre pregnancy). I could barely walk due to bad hips, my stomach muscles tore apart, an...
OtherI'm pr****nt with a baby boy due in November. My fiancé and I didn't care much about the s*x of our child, so we didn't make too much noise about it once we found out. The only people we'd informed were our parents, their partners and our siblings. Prior to this, my father's girlfriend of 3 years had been asking me about my plans for a gender reveal party. I've always been clear about not wanti...
Family ConflictMy dad wants to get a paternity test cos hes recently gotten convinced I'm not his real daughter. My mum ran away to another country with some guy when I was 8 years old and lately my dad's gotten really sure she was cheating on him long before that and I'm actually someone else's baby. He keeps talking about how paternity fraud is a big issue and he needs a paternity test to be sure he's not ...
RelationshipLast night I f34 was on my computer when my husband came home from work, he seemed a bit annoyed when he saw me and asked if I cooked dinner (I'm the sahp with 2 kids, one of them is 9 months old and my husband is the sole income earner) I said not yet and he got mad at me for not doing it earlier and spending so much time on the keyboard (I write novels as a hobby) but I told him I just sat down ...
RelationshipMy husband M27 and I f25 have a 2 months old together. He does everything almost except changing diapers. He's a hardcore germaphobe so I handle the dirty part of our son's care. So my husband's been pestering me about the faces I make when changing our son's diapers. Telling me to smile all the time. I told him to leave me alone, it's easy for him to say when he's not the one dealing with the ...
RelationshipMy wife and I have been married for three years. Having grown up with dogs all her life, she insisted we get a puppy once we were married. We both work from home so there is always someone in the house with her. I'd never have a dog before, but could see this was important to her so said yes and got us a pup. My wife never really bonded with the dog as I did, and I'm the dogs favourite. I d...
OtherI'm a low level manager at my job. Recently two girls on my team put "she/her" in their email signatures. I shrugged. Then they sent out an email to the whole team asking us to do it. I sent out another email reminding everyone they are not required to under any company policy and it would be a v***ation of our state's anti-discrimination law to compel any employee to reveal their s*xual orien...
OtherI’m (17f) the youngest of 6 kids. I’m the only one still at home full time and my parents decided the house felt too empty so they started fostering Lola (9) a few months ago. Lola’s cute but she’s kinda a pain in the a*s. We have a big sectional recliner. Lola refuses to sit on the couch with us so she has her own chair that is off limits to everyone else. If I want to go out to eat it has to ...
