[@samanthaholt2894]

story 3 got me so mad not only because of the blood, but because she wasn’t even asked if her bed could be used. she didn’t even give permission and she has to deal with the consequences for something that wasn’t even her fault

[@yourstruly1204]

that’s literally sick. & then the dad to make HER clean it up? Didn’t even ask. A whole stranger was in her room where she feels safe. HE married into the family not her. She owes that family nothing

[@soccersinger101]

Right? Also considering that step daughter is old enough to go to college, did she not know how to be CONSIDERATE of using someone else's bed??? Like wtf.

[@vindifference]

In my family it wouldn't be an issue to not ask, but to soil the bed and not even take responsibility??? What kind of obtuse household family is that? I don't care if they're step siblings or blood related. If my brother who lives with me slept in my bed and pissed in it, he better clean that shit up himself! If not, whoever gave him permission to sleep there needs to clean it up or tell him to. Of course if I let him, then if he's not available I'll clean it and give him shit afterwards. But if I had no part in the decision, then somebody better make it so that I never even knew it was soiled. About that; what was with that sister? You soil a bed and leave the evidence to be discovered? Like what? Ladies help me understand this. Cause by the time I learned how to change bed sheets, if I happened to have an "accident" in the sheets, it was like I committed murder. NO ONE should be able to find out about it, I could leave no trace lest I die of humiliation. I remember soiling my bed a couple times and literally sneaking my dirty sheets to the laundry and cleaning it all up before anyone woke up. As far as anyone knows, I haven't wet the bed since I was like 4.

[@mariannesartcorner]

And the dad is an asshole for saying that women should be immune to period blood... like what? Just because we can deal with our own blood, doesn't mean we are not disgusted by other women's blood...

[@FukaiKokoro]

Wish I had a good dad. My dad is horrible and I had to cut all ties. For so many reasons. Mainly due to the fact I was in a group home as a teenager due to me getting involved in drugs and alcohol and he FLAT out refused to participate in therapy. My therapist did everything in her power to have him participate like very flexible with times and dates and he DIDN’T even have to be there physically. So he had every opportunity to participate. That right there showed to me I was not important enough for my dad to make a HOUR THERAPY PHONE CALL. Plus my “dad” has issues with the law for horrible things, so that in itself is a reason to cut ties. Sometimes blood isn’t thicker than water. I’ve honestly had to cut ties with majority of my family. My family on both sides is extremely toxic and destructive.

The story with the dad who didn’t get his daughter new bed sheets after the step sis bled on the sheets is absolutely gross!!!! And think about it if it’s in a big puddle there is a chance that it could have bled through and gotten on to the actual mattress!!

[@spencerbronner2861]

i’m a CODA (child of deaf adult) and that second story blew my mind. my mother was put into oral school and they would put her hands in gloves and force her to learn to speak. it’s absolutely DISGUSTING how the deaf community used to be treated. i live in an area with a large deaf community because of the deaf and blind school in the town and the culture is SO rich. it’s beautiful. it breaks my heart to hear this story, that mom makes me so so SO angry. i hate seeing people go through situations like this when i know how horrible oral school was for my mom. her vocals are pretty extraordinary for not having a cochlear but she never should have had to endure that, you know? so this story hits HOME because it’s so similar. it has me HEATED. that daughter deserves BETTER.

[@TwoHotTakes]

Wow. Thank you for sharing you and your moms story. That is so so terrible that they did that. This story left me so so mad, but yes definitely hits home for you!

[@erinkolbe5973]

To the sign language wedding - Would the toxic mom not send her other austistic child to an appropriate school? Would She deny needed therapy for that child? Like she did her hearing impaired child? I loooooove that she said on the invitation “signing impaired” bc that’s so true. Learning sign language is probably a lot easier than learning a spoken language.

[@danielle6979]

Totally agree! Don't have kids if you won't love and support them unconditionally. I'm so happy the daughter found a husband and new extended family that love and accept her for who she is and make her feel wanted and understood.

[@butterflybrenda6558]

I was going to comment the same thing. The step daughter sleeps without bottoms on her period. That couch would look like someone was murdered on it. Would he be okay cleaning the couch cushions? You’re never going to get all the blood out. Would anyone even want to sit on the couch after that?

[@clairer342]

@@lokinixda1685 100% you’re so right. You can’t free bleed on someone else’s belongings. And just because period blood is natural doesn’t mean it doesn’t gross people out. Like poop is natural, and I would not be happy if someone pooped on my sheets and did nothing to remedy the situation. Periods aren’t shameful, but that doesn’t mean you should let it go everywhere. 😬

I told some of my family. If someone steals it I'll. Throw. Hands. We are dead set on these names.

[@WinkyWave]

YES, exactly. It got my blood boiling, LOL. Like, the sister STOLE the name Rosalie, so why is everyone in the family on HER side? It’s so unjust, smh

[@TD-bk5nv]

With story 3, I think another issue with the dad's perspective is just expecting his daughter to be okay with her soon-to-be stepmom and siblings. Parents, your children have every right to be uncomfortable, to feel unprepared and awkward around your new partner. Respect feelings and boundaries, and let people adjust in their own time. "She's your sister now" no, she's practically a stranger, a friend at best in this moment. Hope that man learns his lesson 😔

[@Dd-cm8xj]

shes also in college... plenty of things the child could catch from the blood... you never know... it just seems super unsanitary and unfair to be forced to do that.

[@sarahpooler2330]

With the bloody sheets story, the stepmom missed such a huge moment for brownie points with the daughter. Imagine if SHE had offered to buy her new sheets. That would have been such a good olive branch. Instead, they all just told that girl: "We're gonna mess your life up and you're not gonna be able to do anything about it."

[@arianarobinson6919]

Story 1: PISSED me off lmaoooo! If it was my sister and she stole the name I chose for my baby after I changed the original one for HER we would not be speaking for a while

[@victoriachristina1]

My dads family all naming their first sons after their fathers, there are like four cousins named Joe, it’s fiiiiine

[@Shyress]

Even if its not fine with someone, this shouldnt be an issue. Like, if someone tells you their kid is going to be named Rosalie and you like thst name too, then ask. If they say no, yrah its maybe sad but they told you first. Plus there are so many pretty baby names. And if you really cant change it, life with the fact that that friendship probably will be over or that two kids will be named like that

[@BayleeButton96]

There are so many Andrews in my family all with the same last name and there’s no issues whatsoever

“You get your period you should be able to clean it up” Okay….so everyone in the world bleeds blood. So in that case THE FATHER CAN AND SHOULD CLEAN IT UP

For the second story: english is not the only language of the USA, you can have your weddinf in spanish, asl, russian, etc and it will still be an American wedding

[@devingeary455]

Hell why didn't His mom the OP's wife set up a college fund for her son & if she was receiving child support she should have put that to a college fund if not sue spirm donor for child support to pay for sons college

Exactly, that money was from her late mother’s family for her. It’s not the fathers to give away to his stepson.

Demonize is such a horrible word to use.

Regarding the first story, my sons first name is William and it’s a family name. So many men in my husband’s family are named William but they all go by their middle names. So my son is Beau (we purposely named him that cause we loved the name Beau but also wanted to keep the tradition), my husband’s brother goes by Aron, my husband’s dad goes by Jason etc. Having the same name is not a big deal.

[@clairer342]

That honestly sounds so cute!! My grandpa is in his 80s, and he and all his brothers go by their middle names even though they have unique first names. I think different generations had different opinions about going by whichever name was your favorite. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

OOH that ASL story, broke my heart right at the beginning with her hearing family being so awful about her being deaf and not immersing her into deaf culture - HER CULTURE. They need to sit down and shut up, the couple doesn’t even HAVE to provide interpreters for the signing-impaired (which I think is genius humor) at the wedding, but they are. This type of family situation is awful and I could never be close to someone like that, so my heart breaks for her. Idk if you have ever seen Switched at Birth but it discusses issues similar to this, especially in regards to the cochlear implant. I think a very basic way to learn a *little* about deaf culture and community - or just go enroll in ASL classes. Man, this made me heated lol

[@kfan61]

That school for the deaf in Austin is giant and very well known for being amazing! It is held in high regard to go there. So stupid. They are just ableist.

[@anamariap8032]

What makes me so sad about story 2 is that so many parents of disabled kids are like this they try to move on with life as if their child does not have any disability. It is so sad to see kids that are not put in the best situation to let them thrive because there parents are in denial.

[@shosho089]

I know I'm late to this party (I shockingly just discovered this podcast only recently), but I have to agree. As a parent of a disabled child (who has NEVER been ashamed of her or her condition), dealing with family that is of a similar mindset to that mother is a BATTLE. I've also heard horror stories. It breaks my heart. I look at my daughter and can't imagine breaking her wings to make her fit in some arbitrary mold.

I appreciate Jerry's input so much. It's nice to hear an older person speak so well about being a good person and meeting people where they are at.

Fully on board with Morgan in the second story. Thank you for pointing out the serious nature of cochlear implants and how you can't assume the parent's intentions were pure. Sometimes abelism and bad parenting is just abelism and bad parenting. Sometimes intentions are good. And yes, some people choose implants later in life. But some parents just make the decision for their Deaf kids because they're not good parents.

[@MiZZVMN]

First story- I think everyone is skipping right over the fact that the sister was 5 months pregnant when OP got pregnant. This means the sister already knew the sex of her baby and was showing, everything, when OP got pregnant and declared that she wanted to use the name Rose. OP is trying to capitalize on legacy names before she even knows the sex of the baby. I totally agree that the sister was (sort of) wrong. I say sort of because I think she was rushed to choose a name because OP declared her baby name from the get outset.

[@s.imahni8612]

for story 3, the dad should've def bought her new sheets, but ALSO, if he didn't see the issue of discarding the old ones, HE should've washed the sheets and used them for his own bed (assuming the bed sizes are the same). he was out here telling his daughter to wash them ..... like NO, you offered her my bed, she stained my sheets, YOU wash them and keep them!!

Has she ever been told no? 3. The 21 year olds room isnt ready because she hasnt decided on a style, so the dad is happy to give into all her entitlement around that, but won't budge on replacing ruined bedding for his own daughter? 4.

I’m an audiologist. Some doctors will heavily persuade parents to use only one form of language. Personally I recommend using every possible language (cochlear implants and sign combined). Let the child decide what they like best. Maybe they like both. We have many multilingual hearing children and adults. But I’m a more rare perspective… most do pressure parents into only one sadly :(

Teaching a baby sign can be super helpful for communication whether they are deaf or not. My daughter knew how to ask for food, say she was done eating, and a couple of other small things like wanting a toy, before she had learned to speak any English. Before she was even saying mama or daddy she knew how to sign! In a reality where we hadn't taught her that, we would have had to guess what she needed or wanted for several months.

I'm so glad I watched this episode, I can't stop laughing at that 'light hearted' story. I needed that laugh today! My husband was in tears laughing as well.

Story 3: IF my sister free bled on my bed. She would be BUYING me new sheets. I do have extras admittedly but the fact she'd have the nerve to do something on my belongings would mean she would be paying to replace them, period. It doesn't matter that we're both women or both related by blood (since OP mentions 'oh you'll be step sisters'), a mess was made of my things and they'd need to be cleaned up. Like the OP being like 'oh you cleaned up your mom's puke' not the same, her mom was SICK and likely not SICK on daughter's things. When someone is sick and needs help that makes it more tolerable. My Dad had a saying of 'you don't let a puppy clean up its own mess' if someone is infirm or unable, then you kind of judge from there. But 'step sister' was not sick. DECIDED to go no underwear, no pad, no NOTHING and laid down and just bled all over daughter's sheets. DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO CLEAN IT UP OR MENTION IT! Just left the mess there. That's despicable And her mom's just like 'oh well' it's like 'NO! Not oh well, why did you teach your daughter this was okay?!' Especially since this is supposed to be 'step sister's house too. Not only would as a guest you WOULDN'T make such a big mess unless again sick and didn't mean to. This was an avoidable mess and then step sister ran out so she couldn't be held accountable I feel so bad for th edaughter I hope she stays at her mom's and doesn't ever come back she's not getting an ounce of respect in that house clearly.

Please have your dad on more often. He is a sweet guy.

So good! This has to be my favorite episode!!!!

Listening to story one and while you can usually differentiate by the middle name and nickname, things can still go wrong. My brother was in the same class for multiple years with someone who shared his first and last name. While it didn't really cause problems most of the time, there were still issues when pictures, reports, etc. went out without the middle initial added to them.

[@parkerposey6489]

my whole family, all hearing, none is heard of hearing or deaf, uses a bit of sign with all the little kids before we could talk. what made us start using it more in the past four or five years was because of my two littlest sisters (ages 4 and 2). the 4 year old has FASD (fetal alcohol syndrome) her birth mother drank while pregnant so communicating was very very hard in the first three years of her life. she has come a VERY long way, but she still uses sign that she knows when she can’t get her point across with english. my littlest sister 2 years old, is having a hard time with talking, she can talk and sometimes very well, but she still babbles. when she wants water she signs sit and drink. she knows please, thank you, milk, you’re welcome, all done, so basic sign. it is an AMAZING way for children to communicate, and everyone who comes here understands and knows what they need. i sympathize with op who has the deaf wedding, and i wish her mother would educate herself on the deaf community. asl is a great language to learn, and although i’m not fluent yet, i feel better knowing i can try and understand the deaf community.

This was an amazing episode!! Your dad is a natural at this lol!! Hope he comes back again!! 😁🖤🤟🏾

[@karlavenegasgarcia8849]

As someone who has criminal parents - some people really are not going to care/ look out for you. You understand from a very young age that you can’t rely on them. They will guilt/shame/abuse in all the ways they can get away with. It’s extremely stressful to worry about your own safety and also feel like you can’t tell anyone. I worry everyday about other children going through the same or worse than I have.

Story 2: I have an acquaintance whose daughter was found to be deaf very early on. Mom, dad, extended family, and even community members immediately began learning sign language. The daughter now has cochlear implants, but sign language is still used at all times. I often tell this mother how much I admire her for this.
