No fuck ups here, well... Not on your part anyway. You might benefit from R/raisedbynarcissists

No pun intended, please show me the light. Easy on the butt stuff though

It's ok. We all mistakes. I love you and I'm glad that you are ok.

Holy smokes my man quit jerking it

Yep, that’s basically the reason they don’t recommend it.

Idk. I think it's the fact that it had to be today "of all days"

But I'll weather the shit storm.

I guess you can say that it was a shitty mistake to eat that ice cream!

Jokes aside idk why ur wife is angry with you, it's not your fault that you can normally take it but today your stomach decided it didn't want it....

So great. You know from reactions to your previous shit post that everyone hates your story and finds you repulsive…..and….so you decided the world wanted an update? Gtfo with your rage bait. What a sad little man…..or rather, Colin Robinson will be eating very well tonight

>Are you a JW?

Yes. However, I was raised by a Jehovah's Witness mother and Roman Catholic father.

Until I was a teenager, I had a foot in both worlds ... all the teachings from my Mom and birthdays, holidays, etc. with Dad and his family.

When I went to college, I walked away from everything on both sides. I wasn't following JW's, but I also wasn't celebrating holidays because I knew their true origins - and it was not in Christian or Bible teachings. It made no more sense to me than if I just started randomly observing Hanukkah or Kwanzaa.

In my mid-20s, after college and marriage, I started examining other religions, talking with various ministers, but in every case there were too many examples of their teachings in conflict with specific Bible principles and they could offer no explanation or reconciliation.

There was literally only one religion that followed the Bible completely, so I started studying the Bible again with them, as did my husband. We did for two years and were baptized. (My husband was previously Methodist and Baptist.)

You didn't TIFU, and your mom is the one who needs to be in counseling. Then she can figure out why she anchored herself to a man like your stepdad, and risked her kids.

Holy shit dude

Of course.

I refuse to be left out festivities although I don't know if it was worth it since other "pleasures" have been put on the back burner for now.

Ah the wife’s just being a stickler. Man’s gotta eat right?

Besides it was a simple assertion of dominance.

They’ve been together for 8 years now, it’s not like she doesn’t know how awful he is to us kids. But she doesn’t want to leave because then the kids won’t be taken care of properly, and I guess he has good days when it’s just them.

How is this a TIFU? OP teaches kids skills they almost certainly wouldn't have learned otherwise. Not OP's fault that one of the kids has used these skills to run away from home. For the blame there, you look first to the parents, strong chance they aren't any good.

Sounds like the perfect time for people who use it to sleep

That's how gas burners work

After reading all of these tonsillectomy stories, kudos to my 4 yo who had it done 2 months ago. She was a fucking trooper. All she complained about was not being able to eat.

And, she followed my instructions. No running, no moving a lot, etc, etc.

I guess kids DO listen after all.

Good to know.

I think I would be extra worried about folks who live alone, & children, or others who may not be able to know, fully understand, or be able to communicate that there is bleeding/complications happening (especially at night).

It just all sounds a lot more intense & painful than what I was aware of. I watched a best friend's toddler recover & it was so sad. I remember it was a challenge keeping him hydrated bc of the pain. Kids are tough tho.

love to se someone NOT being an asshole this was a very simple mistake but not life threatening as OP thought hope you are okay and glad the family forgave you ‘:)

As a guy who did this EXACT thing as a kid, thank you. Just like the guy that taught me, you gave me the skills and means to live where my parents weren't physically and emotionally abusing me. I left the house at 15, and lived in the forests of New Hampshire until I turned 17, and then joined the Navy right before my birthday so that I could turn 18 in boot camp. Those two years of my life were difficult, but I WOULD have killed myself if I had to live with my parents during that time. She thanks you, and will never forget you.

Any updates on finding the girl?

For the second time I’ll tell you that you’re a complete garbage human being. Cheating on your wife, likely with sex workers who are victims of human trafficking, then portraying yourself as the victim somehow.

What a giant piece of shit.

And it's important to realize the world doesn't stop with them and their son an offended child or school nun isn't necessarily going to make this distinction. They're right to try and get ahead of it before something harmless becomes an issue through misunderstanding.
