Addendum, while it doesn't have to be dangerous when ingested in very small amountsfor a very small time, sawdust is definitely not harmless either. For one, you must be absolutely sure that the tree is not poisonous, and that there is nothing else in there besides sawdust, because you may very well poison someone if the wood has been treated with or exposed to chemicals etc. Secondly, sawdust can absolutely wreak havoc on the intestines, and can potentially cause permanent damage. It can even be lethal in the long term. Wood dust is also classed as a carcinogen.

"sometimes parents are way too forgiving of their kids because it's their kids" is so true. my older brother is a pos and my mom refuses to "turn her back" on him solely bc he's her son, and she's the kind of person who wouldn't allow that treatment from anybody else. he has multiple girlfriends while he's married w kids but she refuses to tell any of the girlfriends that he's cheating on all of them. he also has been to jail numerous times for stealing and scamming people but she acts like it's a surprise every time even though he's had so many chances and he always goes back to his old ways. she acts like it's just no big deal because "he's my son" and it frustrates me to no end. all the people he's hurt were somebody's kid too.

[@BlastKast]

I was the first boy born on my mother's side of the family out of all my cousins and my name starts with a K. The second boy also has a name that starts with a K, but his name was a very common traditional name in my mother's culture so that was okay. Then when I was 12, the third boy was born and his name was a regular English name, but instead of starting with a C, they decided to start it with a K (not so unlike my name). I felt a bit weirded out but it's not the biggest deal. When I was 19, the last boy was born, and his name shares the first 4 letters with my name. In school people constantly confused my name with that name. My aunts and uncles accidentally call us the wrong name now all the time. I'm doing okay, I'm an adult now and this isn't going to cause any trauma. But my youngest cousin who practically shares a name with me will no doubt see the similarities and be affected by it. I have heard every single one of my younger cousins be compared to me, and I don't even want to know how bad that's going to negatively affect them.

The last story is incredibly terrifying because who the f*ck would do that seriously thats f*cking insane!!

[@dondashall]

The "sawdust" one seriously made me angry and a bit terrified. I've dealt with depression for like 10 years now (better recently) and speaking just for me my eating habits and depression are related in the way that they both feed into each other. My depression gets worse it's harder for me to eat well and that makes the depression even worse and often when I'm able to start eating even a little bit better (which sometimes is due to depression getting a bit better and sometimes I just burn extra spoons for it) it makes my depression better. Sawdust is NOT THE FUCKING WAY to do it. I understand helping someone (with CONSENT) to eat better if that's not something that's easy for them, like maybe you can make sure there's a salad around so if they want to add that to their plate they can and things like that. But yeah, that sort of thing needs to be done with consent and clear boundaries, something like that is a violation on so many levels and she absolutely should leave him. Good his brother is going to make sure she finds out.

The way he words this post, just gives me bad vibes from him. Why does her gaining weight bother him so damn much?? I understand if it's an unhealthy weight, but from this terrible post I'm assuming it's not. It sounds like he just cares about her weight because he's becoming less attracted to her.

For the first post, the man doesn't just not know how to be a father, he simply doesn't know how to be an adult. By the sounds of it, the house wasn't just messy, it was disgusting. My house gets messy sometimes, having 2 kids that just happens. However, it's only ever toys being around the house. It's never dirty. The dirtiest it ever gets is if we have a baking day and there's flour in the kitchen. Sometimes you run behind and are late for things, that happens with kids, but getting to the point that the school call is outrageous. I used to be late for school on the day that my mum didn't have work (we lived too far to walk and my mum trashed my bike as a punishment, side note I paid for that bike with my own money) it got to a point I'd walk in and say "mums not at work today" the lady in the office would sign me in and just move on because it happened literally every week. I usually have to sit in the car for a bit or go to the local park because we are so early. My children will never be late for anything important.

[@anne-zh2kd]

26:11 The fact that OP changed the wording so he would appear to be the obvious victim… I spent the whole time hearing the story going “how unreasonable, you can’t force your roommate to step into a parental role like that, of course it’s difficult to be a single mom but you can’t force responsibility on an acquaintance like that-“ but that twist, my gosh. 💀 OP’s wife needs to RUN, he is not in any way prepared to be a supportive partner or parent… or decent human being.

[@rosieg6989]

8:38 The op is correct, kick his son to the streets if you have to. It is clear the son only loved his wife for the sex and when she temporarily couldn't provide that (and also likely was in need of emotional and possibly physical support for her condition) he immediately seeked out someone else to have sex with. If he only wanted a partner to have sex with he should not have gotten married and certainly they should not have had a child together.

I have ADHD and can see myself having the same problems as the first guy with a routine, keeping a home organised and getting the kids to school on time. I wonder if he needs some support or just isn't suited to an organisational role like that. He could also be depressed after losing his job. We probably don't know enough about his attitude/reasons to say.

[@Przemko27Z]

It's shocking just how wholeheartedly demeaning people got over someone just not managing household chores. Granted, I wouldn't think he's necessarily in the right, he could well just be playing incompetent to "make a point" and it's just wrong to neglect the kids. But also could be he's got genuine issues suddenly managing all the new responsibilities right after losing a job. The message feels very "have you tried just not having executive dysfunction" either way.

[@Przemko27Z]

@@spookyspaghett1 He fucked up and neglected his children. Whatever his reasons may be, that is bad, that's true. I don't know his life, so I can't say if he did or did not have any kind of mental issues or neurodivergency or whatever else. The main issue we're pointing out here is fully assuming he didn't have any issues and it's solely his moral failing to not manage the situation correctly. That kind of attitude can be unproductive and harmful in the actual situation (maybe he specifically needed to be told off, I don't know), but more importantly broadcasting that kind of attitude sends a cruel and potentially harmful message towards the neurodivergent and mentally ill by invalidating any struggles one may face maintaining "normal" function.

With that first one, I will say, vacuum, washing the floor, cleaning surfaces, that sort of thing, even cleaning the wc, you only need to do it once a week. That's enough, at least once a week. Shouldn't be that hard. And if you keep it clean, it's much quicker and easier to clean, than if you let it collect dust for a couple weeks or months. All the other days that you don't clean, it's just a matter of looking around for things to do. Things you should do every day is, get the kids to school on time, getting them home again, providing the kids and potentially the rest of the household with breakfast, dinner, and potentially lunch. Dishes should be cleaned at least once a day. I live alone, so I just collect dishes throughout the day and wash them after dinner. If you can keep up with this, that's good enough. It's much easier to keep it clean, than to clean.
