My 5 year old son has always been delayed. He's hit all of his milestones significantly later than most kids his age. He's in physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy. He was diagnosed with autism when he was 3. I was willing to accept this diagnosis. My husband was not. He said it just didn't seem to fit our son. So we started seeing a neurologist who, upon first meeting our son, immediately seemed to question the autism diagnosis. So, we decided to do some genetic testing.
When we found out we were pregnant with our son, we opted not to do any genetic testing or carrier screening when my OB clinic offered. We didn't have a lot of money, and we had no reason to believe anything ran on either side of our families. About a month ago, we got our son's genetic testing results back. He has Fragile X Syndrome. We were shocked. And the more we looked into Fragile X, the more devastated we became. It's an X chromosome linked disorder, meaning it (usually) comes from the mom's side. It's the most common genetically linked form of intellectual disability. Their body doesn't create the proteins needed to be able to learn. After reading stories from other families with Fragile X children and speaking to multiple genetic counselors, it's very likely that our son will never be able to get a job, be independent, have a family of his own.
Because I am a carrier of Fragile X ( I have one normal X and one affected X), each pregnancy has about a 50% chance of receiving my affected X chromosome. Males are much more likely to be severely affected. And just based on developmental and physical similarities, we believe his 1.5 year old brother also has Fragile X. We are getting him tested next week to be sure.
Then we started reading about how females who are Fragile X carriers have a chance of going through menopause early - like in their 30s (I'm early 30s). There's also a chance of developing Parkinsons-like symptoms (tremors, ataxia, memory loss) in my 50s.
And because we weren't dealing with enough already, we found all of this out when I was 16 weeks pregnant...with another boy. We have been scrambling to get in somewhere to do an amniocentesis to test if this baby has Fragile X. We are considering termination if he does have it. I feel so broken and so guilty. I have cried every day and I change my mind every hour. This baby was planned and wanted. But my husband and I don't come from big families. When we go, there will be no one left to look out for our children who will likely not understand what's going on. To subject a third child to a future where we can't guarantee they'll be looked after when my husband and I are gone feels cruel and irresponsible.
My mental health has been absolutely horrible. I feel like I'm already in a state of grieving. I no longer want to see my baby on ultrasounds. I don't want to feel him kicking. It just reminds me that he's there and that I may have to say goodbye to him. I guess I'm just looking for some words of comfort from internet strangers as we face this impossible decision.
Dinner is cajun sausage and beans made in the crockpot.

My husband’s sister is hosting Thanksgiving this year now that my MIL finally handed it off, and on Sunday she texted everyone the plan. It’s “$40 a person this year, kids under 10 free, and everybody just bring something to drink!” A minute later I got a separate text from her that just said “you’re still on turkey duty right 😊” with nothing else after it.
I’ve done the turkey every year since my dad passed, on his old smoker. He bought it at a church auction when I was in high school and it takes up half our garage, my husband has been trying to get rid of it for years. I honestly love doing it, it’s the only time all year anybody touches the thing, and a bird big enough for everybody runs about $70 with me out there before the sun comes up checking on it every hour or so.
Our daughter’s too old to count as a kid for this, so it’s $120 for us plus the turkey. My husband’s brother and his wife are bringing a case of beer. As far as I can tell nobody else has been asked to cook anything.
So my plan is to Venmo her what she asked for like everyone else and text her back that since everybody’s paying in now, the turkey can come out of that too and I’ll just bring a drink like she said.
I typed it out last night and deleted it. They closed on their first house in August and she’s mentioned more than once how tight money is with the new mortgage, and I don’t want her first year hosting to start with me making it weird over a turkey.
Then this morning she texted me again to ask whether I can do my stuffing this year too.

Monster Skip Runs [ More than just end game dungeons ]
Hard Reserving of low level gear [ Not just Cruel Barb ]
Less Tank and Healers leveling [ You see them say it every day on reddit since the nerf ]
Tanks and Healers charging for their services for low level dungeons [ Not just end game ]
Less dungeons begin ran [ Meaning harder to find groups ]
Less social interactions [ Dungeons were the group activity, questing is primarily solo ]
Some dungeons being skipped entirely [ Alliance have no reason to run Shadow Fang Keep since there are no quests and no mob XP ]
There are more issues than just these, I normally just run a dungeon 3-5 times now trying to convince people to do that will be drastically harder.
why would cloth users help me do Scarlett Monetary Armory?
Will people just Skip SM Cath because you have to clear all mobs?
We have never had to ask these questions before and this is why people are so passionate about it, we are supposed to be playing this version Forever.
Just make Boosting a lifetime bannable offense.

AITA for making my husband replace 15 meals after he gave half my meal prep to his sister?
Every month I spend a full Sunday doing meal prep for us. I plan out the recipes the week before and do one big grocery run on Saturday, usually about $190. Then Sunday morning to Sunday night I’m in the kitchen cooking and portioning everything into containers. 30 meals go into the chest freezer, all labeled, and that’s what we eat on weeknights for the month.
My husband’s sister had her baby a few weeks ago. She came over last Thursday with the baby so we could finally meet her. I was still at work when she got there.
When I got home my husband told me his sister looked really exhausted and he’d packed up a bunch of the meals from the freezer and sent her home with them so she wouldn’t have to worry about cooking for a while. I said that was really sweet and didn’t think anything of it.
Monday I went to grab dinner and half the freezer shelf was empty. I went through the labels and counted. He’d given her 15 of the 30.
I asked him why he didn’t check with me first. He said she needed them right then and we still had enough to get through 2 weeks. I told him that’s not really the point, I spent a full day making those and now I have to do the whole thing over again in the middle of the month which I have literally never had to do.
He offered to help me make more this weekend. He’s never made a single meal in 4 years. I’ve never once seen him use anything in the kitchen besides the coffee maker and the microwave.
I told him he’s replacing all 15 himself. I’ll buy the groceries and write out every recipe but he’s the one cooking them. He gave away an entire day of my work and he can find out what that actually takes.
His mom called me that night to say I’m being petty over some damn food. AITA?
