Suffering from success

[–] [email protected] 225 points 1 week ago (3 children)

OP is already living with their partner and making the kid breakfast? and they're worrying about their relationship getting too serious?

[–] [email protected] 91 points 1 week ago (2 children)

They might not be living there, just staying over.

Which is like, tomato tomato, but it's a distinction

[–] [email protected] 64 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

The weird part about them staying over is that their partner isn't also home, since they have to text them this information. That makes me think the idea is they're living together. Also in either case it implies that OP is taking care of the kid, since I don't think you should just leave an eight yr old home alone.

Possibly she texted him so that the kid wouldn't overhear them talking about his gift. My daughter's Dad and I used to do that all the time, especially for private talks that we thought might hurt her feelings.

If I was never allowed to be home alone at 8 I feel like I'd have been deprived of some essential freedom. I'm pretty sure I had keys and a bike at that age.

America's extremely risk averse attitude is such a large and ugly stain on the banner of freedom it waves so vigorously.

You think it's weird to leave a person you've been dating for a year and a half alone in your house?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

My family texts each other all the time when we're in the same house, just too lazy to go upstairs or whatever.

Sounds like it isn't real

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Are you suggesting anybody would do that on the internet, lie? On an imageboard no less?

Preposterous!

[–] [email protected] 133 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Too late, kid's adopted her.

Kids are like cats, everyone knows that. Once they get you, they got you.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fact! That's why incels won't date single mom's. They're affraid of getting attached.

[–] [email protected] 78 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

No, incels are involuntary celibate. They won't date single moms because single moms won't touch em.

You're thinking of manosphere chuds.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You seem to know this subject better than I do, so I believe you. I've been in a happy relationship for almost 20 years. So this entire phenomenon couldn't be further removed from my reality..

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Basically incels are a specific thing, involuntarily celibate, but also what really defines them as incels is their misogyny stemming from a belief that women are to blame for their being celibate and not the fact that they themselves are the issue.

So like I've been celibate for about 4 years now, but I know I'm human trash not women, so I don't believe I'm considered an incel.

Not that you asked lol

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Don't sell yourself short! I don't know you, you could be a racoon for all I know, but most people are at least a little trash, which means you're probably just as good as most people. Better, even, based on your willingness to consider your own responsibility for your life.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

you could be a racoon for all I know

Shit, they're on to me!

:P

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’ve now tagged you as three raccoons in a trench coat. And honestly I think you’re doing a great job at it.

[–] [email protected] 107 points 1 week ago

If you're dating for a year and a half and you don't know if it's serious, it ain't.

However, if your partner's kid is going giving you a mom/dad day anything, the kid at least is taking it seriously, so you damn well better figure it out fast

[–] [email protected] 98 points 1 week ago

Yeah if you're cooking breakfast for an 8 year old in that kid's house on Mother's Day, congrats you nominated yourself.

[–] 60d 49 points 1 week ago

dating a dood for a year and a half

kinda serious?

No shit, Enola Holmes

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 week ago

Fake: she's not really the mother (yet)

Gay: the flowers hopefully made her happy

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 week ago (1 children)

She got accepted into the family. That's awesome! She should pat herself in the back.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 week ago

With her cock?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago

That's adorable! Even if she didn't intend for it, she's a mother now. I don't know if she's quite realized it yet.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago
[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

It’s cute. The kid needs a mother figure in his life. OOP should just relax and take the compliment.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago

Take the hug, take the win, Mom.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago

🥺 how could something so fake be so gay? 😭

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

Rare wholesome greentext

[–] phoenixz 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Being a step mother still is being a mother. Who cares if the mother is trans, she apparently takes good enough care of the kid for him to want to give her a flower, that's all that matters

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Yep, being a mom is more than just contributing the egg. It's a whole litany of other actions every day.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

So wholesome, then:

But OP here did not give up:

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

This is the most wholesome thing I’ve seen on lemmy this week. And it’s a greentext!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Trans girl being accepted as woman. That's insulting. She's a girl!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

This greentext always makes me smile :3
