The father who cancelled his daughter's therapy made it very clear why his daughter needed therapy in the first place, poor girl.

[@keithmathson8190]

Whole heartedly agree

[@jayzell3687]

Seriously, my lord. As a social worker, there is minimal evidence punishment works when encouraging someone to engage in a behavior, and it isn't ever recommended due to reinforcement of healthy behavior having high efficacy where punishments do not. The daughter was working through her issues in an honest manner which isn't easy to do (she wouldn't ask to keep going if she didn't find it beneficial). Basically saying "I'll take away the resource that's been successfully working with you as a person to get through these obstacles in your life as to to improve other aspects of your life if I don't see an immediate increase in those aspects." And while it was mentioned in the video, if you go "Grades haven't improved, me only see spawn eating again and talking to people, me punish" you'd probably score lower marks than your daughter considering that level of critical thinking.

[@Ethan-nl2wg]

I mean you’re still going to see it when you open the can, it’s most likely that they are mad for the wrong reasons but I kinda get it because I don’t like blood at all, it doesn’t matter if it’s period blood or a nosebleed or a cut, I don’t like blood at all and everyone in my family wraps up bloody stuff in tissues

[@AllelujahHaptism98]

Or just be an adult and just put your used period napkins into a sanitary bag. For one I live with two sister and my brother's girl friend live with us. Your blood reeks and it's disgusting. Either find a different place to dispose them or just be a grown up and use a sanitary bag. He even asked. Because he could have been even worse and gave her the ultimatums of do it or move out, and wifey didn't like that then rethinking the marriage should be in the cards. Because he asked and didn't order it.

@@AllelujahHaptism98 his justification of "my sons haven't been around women and it makes them uncomfortable." isn't a justifiable reason to act like this is strictly her problem. there is an easy way to find a compromise of "please wrap it in toilet paper, but i will also talk to my son's about how this is normal and not something they should be uncomfortable with." everyone in this situation needs to act more mature. not to mention considering he's the one who made the post, it's very easy for him to edit what he said to make him seem more reasonable and her seem like a major asshole. i cannot imagine someone having such a vitriolic response to just being asked to wrap period products up so the blood isn't visible, so it seems there's more he said that he didn't include. it creates implicit bias. (also, as a woman myself, someone with a sister and a mother, and someone who works in a small business where we equally share responsibilities for things like cleaning out bathroom trash cans for women's sanitary products, it really doesn't reek. if the smell is strong enough to "reek," someone needs to be taking out the trash more often.) also edit: someone in another separate comment said "So fun fact the "secret period"/the skid marking sons actually had a really good edit and update where him and his son's learned and grew and accepted that they were being assholes and are now know more about female health." so to me, considering they *accepted* that they were being assholes, he was not fully honest about how the situation went down, and resolved it amicably because they were not in the right. so... yeah idk i feel like that's pretty revealing about the whole situation.

The “p*rn aunt” story is quite sad. To be a teenager is to misplace your anger. I hope that the mother has kept trying to get through to her daughter about this topic. That her aunt isn’t the one to be mad at, it’s the kids bullying her and weaponizing her aunt’s career against her. Reminds me of a kid I knew in school who got bullied a bit because his dad was a garbage man. The ridiculing died down by high school, but that must have been rough for that kid, a family member’s job negatively affecting you at school. The p*rn thing is so much easier to weaponize and a whole lot more damaging on many levels, I hope the daughter comes to terms with it soon.

[@KyleJB007]

I mean she def shouldn’t have called anyone names or been so mean to people but they can’t force her to speak to her aunt or to hang out with her. It’s completely understandable that she wouldn’t want to look at her aunt ever again. I mean if I was sent a video of my aunt doing the stuff they do in “Adult Films” I’d prob bleach my eyes before ever looking at or talking to my aunt again. That’s horrifying seriously. And traumatizing tbh. I feel bad for everyone in that situation tbh. It’s probably pretty rough for the whole family tbh.

[@ColFlustered]

I got bullied in high school since my dad is in prison 🙃 idk why they thought that made me any less.

[@Eucis93]

I don’t understand why people are having more compassion for the aunt rather than the teenager in that story. From the info in their post they never straight up asked how the teenager felt, why they hadn’t told her before, or asked what the bullies were saying/doing. Like I’m pretty sure her classmates are not just saying ”ur aunts a hoe”, they’re probably constantly sending photos and videos of her aunts p*rn to her and the rest of the school. And it should also be considered that she didn’t know the aunts job before the facebook comment, and that we don’t know the type of p*rn the aunt does. Personally I wouldn’t want to see my aunt in any type of p*rn, absolutely not when I was fucking 14 y/o. To top it all off her mom then takes her internet away for 3 months ”bEcAuSe ShE sAiD bAd WoRdS” and preach to her about sexism and treating sex workers with respect. Sex workers deserve respect, but the feelings of the adult star is not the issue at hand in this story lmao, it’s an issue of bullying and, IMO, an issue of parents caring more about the aunt than their kid being bullied. I was bullied for 11 years straight so the fact that people (including her own family) are more concerned about the aunts feelings than what the teenager has possibly gone through is making my blood boil. Maybe they should be asking the kid what she’s going through rather than trying have a PSA at her school about sexism online to make it even worse for her 🤦‍♀️

My 2 cents is that he was probably taught that to apologise more than once is selfish, in the sense that, you've already communicated that you made a mistake, and that to keep apologising is more to soothe your own guilt than for the other person, who may end up becoming annoyed with the constant apologies. Obviously this idea seemed to have backfired, since she actually DOES want him to apologise again, and him refusing just makes it seem like he wasn't actually sorry, and that it took too much for him to even lie about it the first time.

bro, couldn't the therapy one be considered medical neglect? Legit question, like it saved her from probably being hospitalized for a variety if reasons

Jackie’s expressions are top notch 🤣🤣😂 more Jackie and Shayne duo!

[@PinkSander]

Story #1 was slightly hairy but, for the most part was fine. The sister or brother whoever it was did not need to go to the restaurant. The parents needed to know and they did needed to go to the restaurant to see if the 17-year-old was following through with trying to meet men online. The restaurant meeting absolutely had to be done. Those meetings could go one of four ways. 1. Guy finds out she's 17 and walks away. 2. They go out. 3. She stood up. Or the worst case scenario 4. Date finds out that she's not 18 attacks or and possibly murders her. Did they need to completely confront her and start yelling at her in the restaurant? No. Mom and Dad could have walked up to her said we need to talk. Take her out of the restaurant no yelling, no embarrassing her. It was a conversation that should have been held at home. Not with that said her phone absolutely needs to be taken away from her. Give her a burner that has no data on it that way so she can still call and text home but no internet is clearly at the moment she cannot be trusted.

for the BP, i feel like there should be a compromise of doing all the traditions (within reason ofc) for BOTH weddings. like as long as she is willing to do his traditions then he should be willing to do hers. otherwise it feels like a lack of respect

[@cassidyb.3531]

Yeah, I would hope she would if she already agreed to two weddings. Idk I feel like I'm on her side more, if she wants to do it, regardless of the tradition origins, it's her decision. If it makes him uncomfortable it's understandable but the way she said he was acting was like he was trying to defend her honor when she was the one who wanted it in the first place.

[@cassidyb.3531]

@Accel erator Also true

[@SiriusBigbadda]

@Accel erator Assuming makes an ass out of you and me.

[@AnExercisInThought]

@@SiriusBigbadda It seems like there is more to the situation than what is made out. I feel like this is one of those times where we don't know all the details and it's being withheld. Lets say he and/or his family is paying for the two weddings and the only "Traditional" value they are imposing is the payment... might seem more questionable

[@lotrdude13]

"It's not huge or anything, about 7 inches" that's FAR larger than the average, that's actually pretty large.

[@lotrdude13]

Also, that girl doesn't realize that 70% of males are growers, not show-ers.

[@PokeMixr92]

Thought the same thing lmfao, that's 2-3 inches above average AND she said it's pretty girthy too but somehow "not huge or anything" 😂

[@jackhughs941]

Exactly, it sounds like she expects 9 inches, which is really rare

[@acshepard6779]

Shayne and Jackie's dynamics especially after the football one is sending meeee 💀💀💀

[@Sixgunharlequin]

The only time I'd ever say that the crying wife one wasn't TA was if she did it outside of arguments to get her way as well because that's manipulative. But like Jackie said, some people angry cry or cry when frustrated.

[@sweatercloud1945]

The guys who complains about his partner crying during an argument is so goofy. Like, some people are sensitive you fool. And revoking THERAPY?? Dude, grades are not more important than survival, and I'm a goddamn teacher!

[@matthewelliott7294]

I agree with the therapy one as well.

[@RankaZer0]

If you need therapy to survive you're not worth keeping alive.

[@xAtomicxCupcakex]

@@RankaZer0 well some people have mental illnesses or experience trauma that requires therapy. You probably have friends or family that go to therapy and more than likely don't tell you because you're a jackass. Congratulations, you are the aforementioned asshole in the video. 👏

[@LegacyFlash15]

You can’t cry every time you argue. It just becomes manipulative. Especially if it’s a civil argument.

[@JordanAK907]

@@LegacyFlash15 I don't see why people in a conversation can't come to an understanding that one of them is prone to crying, and figure out how to continue talking or resume the conversation later. Crying itself doesn't block communication, it's more a matter of the context around it

[@Sonics1DiscordKitten]

With that first girl, she's putting those guys into actual danger due to the.... age discrepancy

[@Noramythseeker]

The fact Courtney and Shane just blew past that fact and attacked the OP lol shocking. This could’ve gotten those grown men in huge trouble

[@luxuryballer8291]

My wife cries and stonewalls when we argue. I dont think she's manipulating me BUT there is no way to solve any issues this way.

Bring back the SmoshCast and have it the newer cast members talk! I’d love for Saige, Jackie, and anyone else new since SmoshCast was going strong to talk deep, real stuff!

[@Rawt173]

SmoshCast was one of my favorite aspects of Smosh because it felt so genuine... it’s great finding others who appreciate it too

Also if they don't get back to SmoshCast or just realistically can't cause of all the filming they do. They should at least start a show on ShootDood haha
